    Beer flight
    Jody M.

    We had a really great burger. Beer selection was great. We had a really friendly and attentive waitress.

    Specials of the day!

    Spacious tap room with food! Special of the day was a mushroom burger with homemade fries and fry sauce! I rate burgers on how much my wife eats.....normally 50%, this burger was Almost completely gone, this was a 5 out of 5 burger! Great sear and seasoning, very juicy burger! And great taste! Paige our server was very attentive and helpful to answer questions! I went with the Stony Stream as my beer and complemented the burger and fries perfectly! I liked the fry sauce option with a slight ting!

    Came here because of the most reviews. Wanted to try just one brewery in the area. Had the Pilgrim Blonde which had a little more hops than I'm used to. Decent beer. The house fries are the BEST I've had, EVER. Didn't have luck with fries in Idaho but Montana came through. We originally just ordered the beef burger which had great quality meat ordered medium well. Once we tasted the fries I immediately asked to order a large batch. I'll be coming back. Also, great fast service. Helpful and nice waitress and great cook.

    Delicious food, nice music, attentive waitresses. Friendly and good vibes. Perfect place to come hang out.

    I really enjoyed Backslope Brewing. I love a brewery that also includes great food. Backslope's food is top tier for brewery + food spots. There's a wide selection of beer and some noted on the menu as award winning which may help steer your decisions. We went to Backslope after a full day of hiking and it definitely got the job done. Definitely recommend if you are in the area and I'd return if I ever find myself in GNP again.

    This is my second time at Backslope. The first time I stopped in was years ago during my first visit to Glacier. I was really excited to go back as I had such a great experience the first time. We shared a flight and I would recommend each of the beers but really enjoyed the sours. I had the fish and chips for my lunch and really enjoyed them. The slaw had a little too much carrot for me but I still enjoyed it. We stopped for a late lunch and had no wait. If you are in the area, I would highly recommend stopping in at Backslope and I will definitely return during our next Glacier trip!

    We often stop here after class in the park. Fresh menu and many beer choices. My husband likes a bock beer and it isn't always in stock. Friendly efficient staff. Plenty of parking. You may wait if it is busy but if the weather is good they have an outdoor patio area.

    Is a brewery bit not your everyday bar food. The food is Lebanese American, yumm The beer is also very very good

    We haven't been in for about a year. They used to have a chicken sandwich I raved about to visitors but it's not on the menu anymore. This time the food was just so-so. I had a $16.00 chicken lemon salad. It was decent. My Mom had soup and they don't serve any crackers or bread with it. She asked for something and they brought some pita slices for $2.00. I guess everything is higher priced but that chicken sandwich I thought was the best thing on the menu. My Mom said the soup was "just alright" The service was good.

    [ Food/Drink ] We tried the Bistro Burger, Pork Belly Sandwich, Mac & Cheese, and Fried Pickles; everything was pretty good, except that the Pork Belly Sandwich was kind of salty. I ordered the Ginger Lemonade and that was good as well, I liked that it was homemade. [ Service ] Customer service was good, the waitress was nice. The food came out fairly quickly. Just know there's a possibility of them not being able to accept new customers an hour before they close if they're super busy, which is what happened when we went. They posted a sign saying they were not taking any more customers for the parties that arrived after us. [ Parking ] They have a pretty small parking lot, but we were able to find some parking near their Annex.

    I think Backslope has the best burger I have had in a long time! I was on the brink of being hangry after hiking and exploring GNP and stopped in for a late lunch. The beers are great and the burger was awesome - juicy, full of flavor, an all around classic burger. The lettuce, tomato, onion, and condiments are on the side so you can customize the burger yourself. The house style potatoes are salty but delicious. I am still thinking about this burger almost two months later, this is a must to stop by if you are in the area.

    Flight
    Rheall R.

    Stopped by on my way back from the park. I did a flight because why choose, but my favorite for sure was the Honey Berry Sour. I also had one of their Pita and Labneh special which was sooo good!! If I am ever back in the area will definitely go again.

    Pretty decent food and beer here. We started with a flight of the Leiwand Amber, porter, Foreman stout, and nitro stout. I liked the porter the best, while my wife liked the Foreman stout. We each followed up with a pint of those two. Intrigued by the bowls, I went with the bulgogi beef bowl. I was really impressed with the first few bites. I soon realized, however, the bowl hadn't been mixed up, and I had a lot more cabbage slaw and rice than bulgogi beef. I mixed it up, and it was fine, but not as good as the first few bites. Way too much cabbage and rice. My wife had the veggie burger with fries, and she thought both were delicious. Service was a little slow at the start, but it mostly picked up. I had to ask for more water, and once I got that, the waitress didn't offer to refill my wife's water at the same time, which was a bit strange.

    Is there outdoor dining? Yelp shows no, but in the pictures I see patio umbrellas

    So when I was there it was a bit chilly and didn't see anyone on the patio, however, they do have a small patio area. I would call and ask, it might depend on the season. It was super yummy though!

    Do they have any gluten free dishes that are safe for people with celiac disease?

    Many of our dishes are made with ingredients that do not have gluten, for instance most of our rice bowls and the sauces that go into them do not contain gluten. However, we do have gluten in the kitchen so we can never guarantee that an item coming… Read more

    Do we need reservations for a group or 5?

It was a solo guitarist who sang classic country. He was great. Many were sending up tips with a request and he did a great job of being able to handle most requests. The outdoor setting was awesome and the stage allowed everyone to see the entertainment. On street parking was easy. Great stop.

I ate half my omelet out of hating to waste food, but I feel like they wasted it, not me. The eggs were paper-thin and dry, with the sliced American cheese and cubed ham adding a ton of salt. I prefer well seasoned food, but this was too much. Three stars also might seem like too much, but the bacon was exquisite in quality and preparation, my husband's sunny-side-up eggs were perfect, the coffee was good and hot (even if the service was a bit chilly) and the people watching was excellent. NB: I don't "people watch" with contempt; I care about people. I particularly like to see regular visitors enjoying themselves. That morning we had two older gentlemen meeting for breakfast and Bible study; a quiet interaction between people engaged in sobriety support; a young family trying to wrangle little ones and mostly succeeding; and what appeared to be a trucker taking a late breakfast before hitting the road. All of these could have been regulars from my childhood and I enjoyed the ambiance very much. My family used to go to the Nite Owl in the late 70s / early 80s for rare restaurant dinners. Their Chef's Salad was my favorite treat at the time, and I really savored it. Before moving away from the Valley a few years later, I started ordering breakfasts and they were also grand: fluffy omelets rich with cheese, crispy hash browns...a real treat. Revisiting last week it was not the same. Too bad.

We ordered the Tot-chos (half order to share among six people) and I also got a huckleberry soda for myself as well as the bison (classic) burger with sweet potato fries. For dessert, we shared two scoops of huckleberry ice cream (from Sweet Peaks), the bread pudding and the beignets. I loved the Tot-chos, and the half order was honestly a pretty big size already! The huckleberry soda was pretty sweet (I think it had 41 grams of sugar), but I don't regret trying it. The bison burger wasn't bad, it definitely tasted similar to beef, but it was a huge burger so I couldn't finish it. The sweet potatoes were also delicious. In terms of the dessert, I had gone to Sweet Peaks already and liked their huckleberry flavor a lot, so I was excited to see them on the menu. People at my table loved the bread pudding. I thought the beignets were not bad, but they weren't as good as the other desserts.
