Whitefish Handcrafted Spirits

Stopped in today to figure out if they are open or not. Saw a guy sitting just inside a little side door. Before we could even roll our window down and ask - he slammed the door. Odd.

Really enjoyed this place. We decided to stop in one night on our way out to whitefish. Nice little spot. Customer service was great and everyone in there was having a good time. Atmosphere and
vibe we’re really good. Sat in the back in a nice cozy table. The drinks were phenomenal. They make all their own liquor (obviously), elixirs, and mixes. They also have a really good kitchen. I was actually kinda surprised by the food. Who ever is back there seems to know what they are doing. We got the Korean fries chicken and waffles but instead of traditional waffles they make a savory bread pudding that was perfect for it. It’s also paired with a gochujang oil sauce that was really good. My wife got the pork tacos that were pretty amazing as well. The wash your jeans old fashion they make was perfect and their whisky was amazing. I highly recommend this place and will be back.
Came back a second time and was still blown away by the food and drinks. Huge compliment to the chef. This is some of the best food I’ve had in the area. There drinks once again were amazing. We got their crispy chicken sandwich and it was amazing, the batter they use has so much flavor and it’s very unique. We also got the bolognese that was fantastic. We also tried the chicken pesto flat bread that was very good! My favorite appetizer we tried was the pork belly. Pork belly can be difficult to cook but this was perfect not to chewy and had a nice sear to it but still enough moisture throughout to be perfectly tender and the tangerine glaze compliments it perfectly. I would highly recommend trying that. If you haven’t been here I highly recommend it.

Fish tacos with chips, pico and old fashioned were all great and worth the wait

I love the atmosphere here. It’s my favourite place to eat in the valley and is truly a hidden gem.

Ate here in early May and shared the Tomahawk steak. It was phenomenal. The bartender was friendly and helpful and the food was delicious.

Visited recently with family for a special occasion and had a completely different experience.

The bartender and the server were less than welcoming and unprofessional. When I am paying to eat out it’s nice to have a pleasant experience.

Unfortunately, they were out of half the menu items (Ribeye, Curry dish, pork belly starter, soup, chili, dessert and a few other items). I’m not sure if that was only tonight or if it’s a recurring issue.

It’s a lovely place. The cocktails are delightful, the short ribs were cooked perfectly, and the pork with apricot was wonderful. I highly recommend the Brussel sprouts with Cesar as well.

This place has a great, low-key and cozy atmosphere which is perfect for a rainy day. Drinks were excellent - we ordered a fizz, whiskey sour and aviation. Food was great, the chips were extra crispy - yum! Loved the cornbread with the honey butter that came with the bison chili. Service was also excellent (bartender/host was Anthony and he was great). Highly recommend and will definitely be back.

I don’t think I’ve ever received this good of service in my entire life, and I’ve been working in the food/bev industry since I was 16 and currently am a manager at a brewery and distillery where I life in the south east.

I called to inquire about reservations a little over a week in advance, as I was planning to have a large group to celebrate my elopement the day prior, and Clint went above and beyond to help make this dinner special despite only having 4 people on staff, and us taking half of their seating. From start to finish it was an incredible experience. We gave them a heads up on what we’d be ordering since he informed us they shop daily for their service, and even with forgetting 2 out of the 17 people, everyone got what they wanted and were more than satisfied. They even went out of their way to make something special for the 7yr old in our group. The food was delicious and their renditions of some of the classic cocktails were so fun and tasty! You could tell they take a lot of pride in what they do.

If I had to tell you to order one thing, it would certainly be the Brussel Sprouts! We got both options and could have licked the plates clean. The short ribs also looked heavenly and I admittedly experienced FOMO on not ordering them myself. We got a flight of their spirits and they were all delish. The gin surprised us the most with the depth and complexity of the flavor, like where did those spices come from? I have no clue but it was delish.

From the moment we walked in, you never would have known we were strangers. The staff was welcoming and treated us like old friends, even sitting down to chat and check in after the meal. My brother even connected with one of the staff and exchanged info after finding out they’d be frequenting where we live in the future. Like how crazy is that? It really felt like a visit home seeing people we’ve known our whole lives. A true demonstration of hospitality, and it blew me away.

I cannot recommend this place enough! And will definitely be adding this to our required stops each time we make a trip out to Montana.

This is my new favorite spot! Everyone in our group raved about it afterwards. The food was fantastic and one in our group said it was the best old fashioned he'd ever had. The other 3 of us had mocktails and we all loved them! They had something for everyone. Our server was great and went above and beyond and the atmosphere was perfect. They definitely take pride in what they do and it shows!! I can't wait to go back! Thanks you guys!!

Excellent service. Food was ok but nothing amazing tho the garlic bread was a real hit for our family. Great playlist but the drinks were quite disappointing. It was a 3.5 in my book but I rounded it up

What can I say about WHS, that others haven’t? We had just existed Glacier NP, & we looking for a good dining experience, since the park options are limited. Upon arriving, the staff was phenomenal. From drink recommendations, to knowledge of the food, there wasn’t a single thing wrong with our visit. The owner/chef, Danette spend some time with us, talking about the food, our trip & even recommended some travel ideas to us.
You must get the Bread n’ Things!!! If you love garlic bread, then this is your thing. We split the short ribs, & what a pick. Fall of the bones & so much flavor. Keep in mind, short ribs are fatty, so these are no different, but well worth it.
Do yourself a favor, make a reservation or show up early, & have a great experience.

Not sure how this place has so many 5-star reviews?!? Had a burger and fries, the burger was dry (get a side order of mayo help get it down), fries were obviously reheated old fries… burnt, dry, and tasted like cardboard. Cocktails were good, but I’d never come here to eat.

This is the best restaurant near glacier! It's intimate and delicious! I highly recommend the tomahawk for two! All of the drinks are delicious but anything with the river rock gin is incredible!
