    We came for a quick lunch on our way back to our campsite. I ordered the chicken tenders and my husband had the bison burger. We also ordered a couple drinks at the bar and sat in the bar area. Large space for eating and choosing a seat, lots of food options. Food was decent, fries were great, drinks were good. Great spot outside of the park in glacier village to grab a meal.

    This is the front patio with a lot of red picnic tables and umbrellas

    What a Gem! So while in W Glacier MT we RVd with family and walked some tarred paths to the nostalgiac W Glacier town and Fredas was amazing! Great craft beer, full bar, great menu with a huge restaurant connected to the bar! A must see and stay for a couple. Vast Patio has umbrellas and corn hole! Just fun!!!

    Super delicious

    I chose some beer before move forward with my trip and the service was really good. I got some French fries on my way too

    Bison Smashburger with baked beans
    John S.

    Located just outside of the Glacier National Park West Gate, I had a double patty bison Smashburger after a day in the park. The burger was fresh (not previously frozen), significantly lower in fat than a typical beef burger and delicious. My only complaint was that I, and other customers, had to go to the counter to order and pay before the order was placed. When paying, I was presented with one of those "TIP screens" which started at 18% and went into the 20's. I tipped and the order was placed. I was then given a glass and told that I could fill the glass with soda "over there" and get napkins, condiments and plastic forks/spoons/knives "over there." I was given a buzzer that would signal when to return to the counter to get my meal. After the meal, customers were directed to clear the table, placing plastic glasses and baskets in one area and trash in another. I regretted tipping so much when placing my order.

    Meh. It's conveniently located outside the west gate so they get the crowds and it feels like that's what they depend on. Bison burger was mediocre at best and I felt overpriced for what I've had at other spots. Huckleberry pie, same experience and they gave it to me cold. I regret giving 18%, which was the lowest option for just taking my order and not even heating the pie. Total tourist trap!

    Cute little local restaurant that's right before the Glacier National Park entrance which is nice. There's also has a bar and ice cream shop attached to it. Great for families as well, there's a bunch of outdoor and indoor seating and is pet friendly. It's mostly self serve, you order your food and they give you a buzzer to let you know when your food is ready. I got the BLT and substituted the mayo for the avocado spread. It wasn't bad, I wish they put more of it on and the texas toast was a bit dry but overall not bad. The fries were super yummy though! My husband got the breakfast burger that came with fries which he said was delicious and my stepdaughter got the kids chicken tenders, which were a bit too fried and the mac & cheese as a side which she said was awesome. Drinks are self serve along with condiments. We all split the mountain mint ice cream in a waffle cone which was yummy!

    Elk bratwurst
    Katlyn H.

    Freda's is a restaurant, bar, and ice cream shop in one located outside the entrance for Glacier National Park. I got the elk bratwurst and it was okay, but it was too dry. It also cost $16 for just a bratwurst, which is expensive for just that. The service was a bit slow. If you are desperately hungry after being in the park this place is easy to get to. Next time though I would drive down the road a bit and get lunch.

    $21

    The fries here are delicious and so was my burger. It is a bit expensive but that's to be expected for the location I guess.

    This is one of the best meals I have had in awhile. The only one that compares was a special…read moredinner at Nancy Silvertons restaurant in LA. Chef Ante was doing a soft open and it was just the local's and him and Tina running the front of house. This cute little house turned into a homestyle restaurant is AMAZING. Now if you think I"m just exaggerating, read any of my other reviews or know I'm a snob. Or even better come check it out for your self. How welcoming they were it felt like going to a loved families house and sitting down together for a home made meal. Because that is what it was. Food, I mean, come on! The lamb chops seasoned and cooked to perfect, nice char on the outside with a lite pink on the inside. The Ragu on home made tagliatelle was so beautiful, not to rich like some other you night have had, but able to taste all the flavor in the dish. A special if you can get it they were trying out here was the Chewapchichi (Cevapi), a form of Kofta / Meatball made in Chef Anton's Croatian style. That is not the Meatball that is on the menu in a soft tomato sauce!!! Basically we started with the Shrimp Tostada app and the Clams & Chroizo and just decided to ask for the whole menu for the family. I could go on, but just come see for yourself and enjoy for sure.

    Just happened upon this place coming from Glacier. Amazing food and great service!!! Everything on…read morethe menu was yummy!
