“This was our first time at this restaurant and the service was OUTSTANDING! We had Britt M (had to look at the receipt to remember her name) she was very kind and even when we had a complication with my meal she stepped up to make sure it was handled and went above and beyond our expectations. We appreciate both our server and the hostess this evening, she was also very helpful and kind regarding our issues! Definitely will be back next time we’re in the area even if my food had some issues. As former servers we know things happen but excellent service can almost make up for the food 100% of the time.“

Burger

“This was a welcome stop, well, at the summit of Big Mountain. I didn't have any food, so I can't rate it but I saw many folks dishes and it looked surprisingly good! I did enjoy a nice, local beer while overlooking the expansive view out of the large windows all around. Service was fast but friendly. The bathrooms were clean! The gift shop was very tiny but cheaper than I anticipated and had lots of cute Big Mountain and general Montana souvenirs available.Don't miss the Nature Center just downstairs! Our kids loved the hands on displays and the rangers were extremely friendly and knowledgeable!“

“Love this place. Have talked to many who wish they would expand the hours after the lifts close. Can’t imagine how much business they are losing because of this. Also a little less fine dining for dinner and add a few more basics to the menu would be helpful.“

“One of the best restaurant atmospheres in whitefish. The restaurant was packed! but it didn't feel like standards or quality of service/food were compromised at all. We all had great dinners and the huckleberry cheesecake is great. Very conscious about vegan/vegetarian options as well - Logan's doesn't pick usual and overdone veg dishes they really pick unique and new options!“
