“ Stopped in because it was close to where we’re staying. Did not have reservation but they able to seat us anyway. The menu was eclectic but doable for my picky husband. Our bartender was friendly and made us a couple of fabulous drinks. I ordered the mushrooms and lamb meatballs. They were fabulous. My husband had the bison steak. Sooo good! Oh and the dessert we had was sinful. I don’t recall the name exactly but I believe it was a moderation on a s’more with huckleberries. Yummy ”
“ Walking through the door I was gobsmacked by the whimsy and charm of the dinning room. The food was even better, locally sourced, and a true work of art. We got the whitefish, the mushrooms, and the apple pie. Prices are ridiculously reasonable. The ginger cocktail was refreshing and delicious. Our server was amazing and knowledgeable. Stop reading this and please go check it out yourself! ”
“ I was honestly really impressed with this place. The atmosphere is really neat - there's a bar or you can sit at the community tables. The entrees had huge portions. The first night I had the brisket and my husband had the fried Korean chicken. Both very delicious but we couldn't finish either of our meals. The next night we ordered the Carbonara and two sides (mashed potatoes- best I have had and brussel sprouts). It was perfect amount of food for two people! The Carbonara was absolutely amazing! I highly recommend. I also had the huckleberry 75, which was also yummy. The service the second night was great compared to the first (for some reason, we had two waitresses). Loved this place! ”
“ My husband and I went here on our honeymoon! The food was amazing. I got the Cajun pasta and I am from Louisiana so I am qualified to judge. Highly recommend it. The drinks were amazing too. Even better than that was the service. Our waiter went above and beyond to make our visit exceptional! I highly recommend the Montana Bonfire to anyone near by! The atmosphere was really nice too. Loved the decor and music. ”
“ The best food in Montana! The chef Derik made the best food, and drinks ever. The service was spectacular. All the food is farm to table and locally sourced. 10000/100 would recommend. The bison, white fish, chicken, beef, asparagus everything was the best. Not one thing on the menu I didn’t hate. ( bought one of each thing on the menu) Shoutout to the staff they did amazing and made sure we weren’t missing one thing! ”
“ Best experience dining I've had in a while. Food was delicious! Our waitress Arista was VERY attentive, and pleasant! I wasn't happy with my drink choice and she was able to get me something based on the taste I wanted.! Highly recommend this restaurant, great dining and atmosphere! Can't wait to try more of the amazing menu ”
“ Here we go! We loved our meal. Their sourdough bread is better than Fleur in Whitefish (wish they sold it by the loaf ). Onto our spectacular dinner! Lentil salad topped with a bison steak! O M G....perfect seasoning, honestly some of which I can’t describe-/but all DELICIOUS! Would’ve loved to meet chef, a table visit -/ as they weren’t busy when we arrived ....reviews on Yelp are old and not reflective of new owners...server, McCall was awesome and Alex, bartender was great! Did I mention we had tap beer and tap lines were def clean??? Super refreshing and just a matter of time before you can’t get a reservation! Bravo ”
“ I was here yesterday and my husband and I really loved the food. I gave 4 stars because the service wasn't that good and we decide to drive back to the area just to try another dish. Definitely, this was the best choice! Great service, ... ”
