    the dining area

    This is a great place for breakfast or lunch. We went for breakfast which was delicious. They bread was homemade (we got sourdough that was so good we bought a loaf to take home) and the jams were also homemade so those were the highlight? I got the skillet breakfast which I really enjoyed. The building is a historic log building (tall guys have to duck other crossbeams!). The service was excellent. Worth a diversion off the highway!

    Great little spot in for some good food in Clinton. The interior of the restaurant is old west style with animal trophy heads on the walls. It is clean, and small, with few tables. I had the ribs special and hubby had the prime rib special. The ribs were fall off the bone good, but I wasn't crazy about the citrus flavored sauce. I prefer more of a smoky barbecue flavor. The prime rib was very good. The meals came with their salad bar. The offerings change up daily and there was a fairly good selection. The huckleberry pie a la mode was so good, and that is bringing us back to the spot tonight (also the burgers looked amazing). If you are in the area or just passing through you should stop. **We didn't have reservations on a Saturday night and they got us in, but I would recommend reservations as they were pretty booked up.

    Best breakfast I've had in a very long time.

    Hands down the best chicken fried steak with sausage gravy! Everything we had was incredible...side pork, biscuits, ham, coffee! Ambiance is quaint. The people are the sweetest, too! No line to get it but I don't know if why...it's a winner on all fronts!

    I absolutely love this restaurant. I was fishing on Rock Creek and decided to try it out. It was fantastic. They give you very large portions. The first time I went I have the crispy chicken salad and it was phenomenal! For dessert, I have their famous rhubarb pie. I also bought a tray of homemade cinnamon rolls. They were the best I have ever had! Everything was delicious! I went again a couple days later for a burger and a beer. It was even better the second day!! I had to get some more cinnamon rolls too! All of the desserts/ breads are reasonably priced!

    Found this hidden gem by accident. Breakfast was excellent and our food server was a hoot. Everything homemade here and no prefab junk on your plate. Grandma is in the kitchen here so expect an awesome country breakfast.

    We moved here in June and landed at Ekstrom's while we looked for a permanent residence in Missoula. Which ended up being more of a challenge than we expected. The place closed for the season on October 2nd. The owners were gracious enough to let us stay for another month while we continued our house hunt. We really enjoyed our stay here. It was peaceful and quiet, with an awesome restaurant on the premises. We would recommend this park to anyone looking for a great place to stay.

    We had dinner here last nightI had the large salad bar which appears to be all home cooking. It maybe includes about 20 different items including soup and fruit dishes although I imagine it is different every night. My wife had a ribeye steak. She said it was large and above Average. I would give the food a 3+ or a 4-. However we enjoyed the whole experience because of the old cabin, interesting decor but mostly because Emily the waitress was really wonderful.

    85% lean beef burger with pepper jack cheese and a side salad. Quality soft toasted bin and delicious house Italian dressing.

The location makes it very convenient to go to the very pleasant bookstore next door while waiting for a table - there is no shortage of customers even on a Wednesday late morning. The line is well-managed with a waiting area and restaurant pagers handed out. It seems like a place that is frequented as much by young people as retirees. They have a combo plate that includes two eggs, hash browns, a protein (I've so far only tried the corned beef hash), and two pancakes starting at 17 with upgrades available for the pancakes. It can easily be split for breakfast and offers a really good variety of things. The corned beef hash, hash browns, and pancakes are all top notch in my opinion (and the eggs are good eggs also). There are numerous Best Breakfast Winner posters hanging above the window to the kitchen and I don't think this place needs much support - they seem to be doing quite well - but in case this reaches someone who is visiting Missoula and doesn't know about it, it's well-worth a stop.

We did end up having to wait about 40 mins for a table and like other reviews, the price point was a little high for Montana. But we are glad we tried it. The place itself is so very very beautiful. Our server knew we were on a time crunch and was so great about getting us our food and check. I ended up getting the Ranchers Benny and hubs got the shakshuka. We were both happy with our selections and would most likely come back if we were in town.

    Not worth the price point. The café is beautiful and very aesthetic inside, but I was disappointed…read moreby the cleanliness. I arrived right when they opened, yet several seats still had crumbs on them. The service was quick, though not overly warm or welcoming. I also found it odd that the drink menu is printed separately on paper instead of being included on the main menu--it feels less polished than the rest of the space. As someone who eats plant based, I'd love to see vegan items clearly labeled on the menu and at least one more substantial vegan entrée option. I ordered the Powerhouse Overnight Oats for $22. They were actually quite tasty and surprisingly filling. However, at that price, I expected a little more. The chia seeds were dry rather than fully hydrated, and consuming dry chia seeds on their own is generally discouraged because they absorb liquid after being eaten. One final suggestion: please include menu prices on your website. It makes it much easier for customers to decide before visiting.

HOWEVER, you guys have got to get your shit figured out. The cashier gave us a number placard, and told us to stay at the front to get our drinks before sitting. So we did. Employees were abuzz, swarming like ping pong balls, and making food/drinks. We stood and waited, then after like 15 minutes a gal came out and handed me my plate of food!? We hadn't even gotten our drinks yet. *Why was I being handed food first, standing, versus receiving my drink and then served food while seated at our table?* I wandered to find a table, and found myself weaving through a bunch of people. It was awkward since all the tables/chairs are spaced SO close together. My husband stayed at the front for our lattes, as I started to eat alone. :( We loved the food, but we felt unhappy about the fracas and chaos. This is NOT the way to run a restaurant. We sat and enjoyed our lattes, and the eclectic ambiance. Finally another 12 to 15 minutes later, my husband's biscuits and gravy arrived. I am a slow eater, and I was already done eating, when he began to eat. :( Sad to say, our experience was extremely disappointing. Totally disjointed, and it left us feeling frustrated and irritated. This shouldn't need to be said, but you guys need to serve people in the order they come in. Get those tickets done asap, and it'll clear up your insane bottleneck you create by serving the "easiest" drinks and meals first. Yummy food, but NOT a good dining experience. Also, there are some funny reviews whining about feeling uncomfortable that this place is anti-ICE. Pro-lgbtq. "Oh the horror" to be inclusive, and tolerant of other people! I just know what you would've been balking about in the 1950's... Clyde Coffee is said to be a "liberal" coffee shop, but if you think about it, this is simply human decency... Treat others with basic kindness, and you won't feel such guilt. :)
