Have you ever stumbled by a place that has a primary business and offers food?? Backslope is a brewery that offers food. This is the rare occasion where the different beers we had and all six entrees were excellent. What a gem. The menu is diverse offering some really nice flavors to burgers and bowls. The restaurant isn't big. They let you sit on the patio and they serve you beers there. No food on the patio. Service was casual professional. I highly recommend Backslope Brewing!!! read more

This place has good food (kudos to the chef) with unique flavors but it's on the pricey side and when I order the pita, I leave feeling a bit hungry and I've got a small frame. Suggest adding more fries to the plate. I want to try the burger, but it's 23 bucks! read more

Such a tourist trap! We arrived at 3p and had to wait an hour and a half for our food. Almost got up and left. The jun tea had weak flavor. The veggie patty of the veggie burger just didn't taste good. The butter chicken entree just lacked flavor and was fairly small. The server wasn't friendly at all until the very end when she gathered our cards for payment. read more

Their working practices are questionable. They say they are open until 8, they stop searing around 725p. You can't order a beer at the bar and enjoy it at the bar, must go outside. Tried to wait for my table by the entryway but was rushed off by attendant who said I can not crowd the area. (I was the ONLY person there as they were no longer seating people.). Food was at best Ok. One green goddess salad had no dressing. The pork had no flavor. The burgers was just ok. Fries at zero seasoning The only reason they rcvd 2 stars was because of our wonderful server! read more

Came here during the off season when there isn't too much traffic. Service is quick and it's on the way to/from Glacier national park. The burgers are pretty good! I got the bistro burger that had an interesting tangy balsamic vinaigrette dressing. It came with fries and they're cut in a shape I have never had before - like a half circle. Deliciously crispy. The ginger lemonade was really good too! read more

The food was really good, a little more Mediterranean based but great flavors. Staff were super friendly.

My wife and I enjoyed a mocktail and IPA while having the burger and fries and the chicken sandwich. Everything was very tasty! Love the take on the fries! read more

We waited a long time to get into this place... and really it's pretty difficult to mess up food this simple. But they just barely got over even that low bar. read more

This brewpub was by far the neatest and most hip places I have been to. It's really centralized more around the beer and less on the food. They don't offer much beverages other than beer! But just because the menu is small, it makes up in flavor!!! Unique dishes and one of the best burgers I have ever had. The "fries" were outstanding! Service was great as well! It's a small place with a very nice patio. I went at 4pm and still had a wait for a table. Worth the wait tho! Small parking lot. But centrally located within downtown Columbia falls. About 10 mins from glacier national park. So this is in a very nice location! read more

Good food and beer, just be prepared to wait! One day it was 1.5 hour wait for two people for a table and another it was 45 minutes. They have outdoor tables to sit at while you wait For your inside table. There is no service outside, just waiting:). You may go inside to the bar to get drinks and take them outside while you wait for an indoor dining table. I liked the Pilgrim Blonde Ale for $4. The salads were delicious for $17 each. Be prepared to wait in line to get your beer at the bar. There was plenty of parking. read more

Decide to give this place a try. This place is a Bomb. We had theBulgogi Bowl and Fried Chicken Sandwich. Both were Exceptional. Our waiter was outstanding and Attentive. Do not listen to all of the NaSayers. I would highly recommend this place. This review comes from a 5 year Elite Member read more

On vacation we rarely go to a place twice. We love to try all the options of locally owned places. Backslope was an exception. Great burgers and salads and the in-house brews are fantastic. Staff was attentive and quick both times. Just a great local beer/burger place. Don't miss it. read more

I'm still dreaming about the fried chicken sandwich.....oh yeah, they have beer too! But really, we came for the chicken sandwich. My friend raved about it and I wanted to get the experience. Naturally there was a wait during the weekend but they have some picnic tables to take your beer out to while you wait for your table. I got the Dr. Randolph's All Day Porter and it went down smooth....too smooth....so I got another to make sure it was delicious and it was! As for the sandwich and parmesan fries? DAMN GINA. One of the best I've had, complete with Cole slaw, tangy bbq sauce, this is not a classy-barely-use-your-napkin sandwich. I'm confident I looked like porky pig eating it and I have no regrets. Driving to the airport a few days later, we passed by Backslope and I just looked at it longingly. Do not pass up this place!! read more

Looking for healthy, delicious food while staying in nearby West Glacier, we followed our Yelp friends' suggestions and headed to Colombia Falls for dinner. Apparently we weren't the only ones in the know, because at 5pm on a rainy night in September, there was a 30 minute wait. They gave us a buzzer and we waited outside (...Covid). You may have read about their Sunshine veggie burger. Yes, it is that good! The homemade burger is a crispy flavor explosion in your mouth. It was unique and yet familiar, healthy and yet decadent. The only change I made was to sub goat cheese for the pepper jack. We enjoyed it so much my friend went back the next night and ordered it again. We also tried the fried pickles (good if you like pickles), the sweet potato fries (very nice), and one of the bowls, which was fresh, flavorful, and tasty, with crisp tofu. But, it will be the veggie burger that I dream of and look forward to tasting the next time I'm in Montana. read more

Backslope Brewing recently changed their menu, and it's delicious! Fresh, made from scratch, healthy-but-you-wouldn't-know-it, as always. This restaurant and it's family of owners and employees is a true treasure and I'm, as always, a huge fan. If you're disappointed because they aren't serving your favorite food anymore, try the new menu. So good! read more

The food was amazing. We were so surprised by the Mediterranean inspired menu and dove in with a great hummus app. Don't worry, there were other great choices. We chose a yummy Parmesan salad and a hearty portion of fish and chips. It was a late lunch after a hard day of hiking and we didn't eat the rest of the night. read more

Decent brewery in the Glacier area. We came on a late Sunday afternoon and there was about a 25 minute wait for a party of 2. Grabbed a flight and sat on the outside patio while waiting for our table. They still have makeshift plastic dividers in place separating tables and tables were spread pretty far apart. The beers were pretty good, though none stuck out as amazingggggg. The food menu was creative and diverse. Enjoyed the chicken sandwich and garlic Parmesan fries (more like chip fries) and the options for dipping sauces. My hubby's fish and chips was surprisingly good. The fish was super crisp, yet flaky, and had a great taste. The star was the accompanying homemade cocktail and tartar sauce-- the cocktail sauce is made with their IPA and had a great kick. Great service, too! read more

Great ambiance. Cute little local place with delicious food. Ordered a beer flight to sample local brews. Highly recommend!

I stopped in here for the first time and grabbed lunch the other day. I didn't get to try the beer, but I did try their ginger lemonade, which was great. I ordered the chicken sandwich which was very tasty. The garlic parm fries were great. The other person with me got the burger and said it was amazing. Next time I will try the beer and the burger. The service was great. Our server was very friendly and checked in with us a perfect amount of times through out the meal. Check this place out for sure. read more

First beer was their Blonde, pretty blonde. Then had Leiwand! It was excellent. Fried pickle appetizer as we like them. Big Kosher spears. Kathleen was our server and she was a sweetheart I hand the Bistro Burger with Blue cheese in lieu of goat cheese. Outstanding, juicy flavorful and Cooked on the rare side of medium, perfect. Home style fries good and plenty, didn't finish. Other reviews said small portions, do not agree at all. Wife had the chicken sandwich and it was great as well, too much to finish. Ambience was nothing special but very clean and neat. read more

Read about Backslope in a magazine while staying on Flathead lake. We decided to make the drive up and WOW! The beer was first class and the Schwarma with pork was one of the best sandwiches I have ever had and I am 65. What a great job the place is doing. All five of us enjoyed the beer and food. read more

I am thorough impressed with this brewery and restaurant! The food and drink in the surrounding areas of the national parks we've been visiting are never ultra impressive. Backslope brewing was the best place we ate on our trip! We got the fried pickles to start. My husband wasn't a huge fan because he likes fried pickle slices, but I preferred them this way! It came with a dipping sauce that paired perfectly. 9/10 We both got the fried chicken sandwich and wow, it was AMAZING!! (Still thinking about this sandwich. It was perfect) 10/10 Jake got the French fries which were fairly standard while I got the side salad which was really good. A bit over dressed, but by the time I was through with my sandwich and the pickles I was full anyways. They had a great, wide beer selection as well. My favorite was the lawnmower. If I was ever in the area again, I'd definitely be back! read more

Great service, really nice food, and pretty solid beer. Great stop from Glacier airport, was a perfect introduction to the area.

This was our first food stop when we arrived in Columbia falls - not far from our hotel. We shared the fried pickles that came with a tangy tomato sauce - it was good but I prefer fried pickle chips instead of spears but sauce was good. My husband got their beer flight and I got their ginger lemonade. He liked 3/4 beers and the lemonade was so refreshing. Indoor and outdoor seating was nice, would like to come back and try more food. read more

Absolutely adorable local brewery with a variety of great beer and flavor-packed food. It's obviously popular from the amount of guests that visited while we were there - and deservedly so! I ordered the Bistro Burger with garlic Parmesan fries, my husband ordered the Bulgogi Bowl, and we shared a helping of the Mac & cheese. I also got a flight of beer to try out, and would definitely recommend doing the same to maximize your tasting experience - it's a great price for the opportunity to try four 3oz pours of deliciousness. Now let's talk food, because I know that's why you're REALLY reading this. The Bistro Burger was chef's kiss incredible. It's cooked to a juicy medium, topped with tart & sweet Balsamic and pickled onions, a healthy dollop of smooth goat's cheese, and super-fresh microgreens. It's absolutely bursting with flavor, but if the burger itself isn't enough, it's well worth your while to upgrade to the garlic Parmesan fries. They're more like medium-sliced potatoes than fries, but they're smothered in a generous helping of Parmesan and garlic topping, and are the perfect balance of crispy exterior and soft starchy interior. Oh yeah - and did I already say that they are SMOTHERED in Parmesan-garlic goodness? The bulgogi bowl was also fantastic, but I can't do it justice due to my personal aversion to cilantro. My husband is happy to report that it had tons of flavor and texture, and he would be glad to order it again. The only thing I'd skip is the Mac & cheese; while it was a delightfully creamy, cheesy treat, it just can't stand up to the bold, well-married flavors of the other dishes we ordered. Save your appetite for the delicious beer and the savory, indulgent main menu items instead! read more

Came here for some beer after we were denied entrance at Glacier National Park. At 1130pm, the park reached capacity and denied everyone from coming in. They told us to come back in a couple hours, so we made a pit stop in Columbia Falls and stumbled across this gem. Unfortunately, we ate prior to going to GNP so we weren't hungry, but the food here looks and smells amazing! I ordered a flight of beer and my boyfriend ordered a pint. We sat outside with the warm weather and enjoyed the company or other GNP rejects. Server was wonderful and quick to bring our beers. She also suggested that we get to GNP by 6am as her friend have also experienced the similar issue where they couldn't find parking. I would love to come back for a meal! Service is great! read more

Great food! Fresh ingredients. We had the shawarma and gyro platters. Delicious! Beer was great too! Highly recommend!

Took 20 min to get our table (which they'd told us about the wait) then an hour for mediocre middle eastern food. Tried two beers and neither were anything special. Not a place to stop if you are in any kind of hurry. Staff were very pleasant. read more

Just left there an hour ago. Food was good but service was AWFUL! Took almost an hour to get our food and that's after we waited 15 minutes for a table. No ice! Not in the water or the soft drink. No salt or pepper, condiments or napkins available at the table. might no be a problem if the waitstaff EVER came back to the table. read more

Sarah gave us terrific suggestions! The bistro burger was AMAZING! Sorry it didn't survive long enough to take a picture. The fries are wow! GET THEM! We ordered a second round of fries. read more

We are very excited to have been referred to Backslope for beers and food! They do not take reservations, so we did have to wait about 20 minutes for a seat, but the perk is they seat you outside and your able to order beers while you wait. How perfect is that?! One downfall is that I am biased to my Ohio beers and unfortunate the beers here did not have the depth and flavor we love. Overall, the beer was okay. However, the food is a must try! It felt authentic and that they put a lot of work in their menu and quality of food. We had the ginger bowl, pulled pork sandwich, and fried chicken sandwich, all absolutely amazing! We started with the fried pickles which were good, but not as tasty as I had hoped. Overall, make sure to stop here on your way in from Glacier Park and try some great eats! read more

Spent a few days in Columbia Falls and stopped by Backslope Brewing. Best decision all week! The beer was delicious! The food was incredible! Husband had the honey sriracha pulled pork and I had the chicken sandwich! Both were HUGE and tasted amazing! The kids each had the Mac n cheese and loved it. I snagged a bite and thought it was too good not to take the left overs home . The beer, the food and the atmosphere was hip! Loved it and would go back to Columbia Falls just for Backslope! read more
