We really enjoyed our meal, we ate outside on the deck & we're thankful for the awning so we continue to be outside even with the rain. Our waitress was so sweet & kind- she was definitely busy and apologized for the kitchen being backed up & the slow service. Our food was great, we all enjoyed our meals. The nachos were good- the big chunks of chicken seemed like grilled chicken nuggets similar to what you get from Costco- they were still good- could have definitely used a few more pieces of chicken. Our burger & chicken sandwich were both great- good flavor & great size portions for the cost. Definitely recommend as a local we will be back again. read more

Yelp reports the restaurant wasn't open today - thankfully it was. Cute little spot with excellent food (I had the BLT) and surprisingly good wine. The French fries are fresh and excellent and the service is friendly. It was a perfect day to sit outside on their deck, too. We will be back! read more

Sat outside on a beautiful sunny afternoon which was very pleasant. My wife had the taco salad and I had the soup of the day. Both were very good. Service was excellent also. Great place to eat. read more

We had a party of 6 on a busy Sunday and it happened that the only table was outside. Since it was a beautiful day, it wasn't a problem at all to sit outside. Started with a burnt tree honey blonde ale. Would highly recommend. It had more body and flavor than your average honey blonde and was similar to the salmon fly honey rye. Started with a cup of chicken curry soup. When it came out, I was a bit confused by its thickness. There was literally no broth at all. One of my table mates quipped "is that a dip?" . But the flavor was definitely there even if it didn't have the consistency of your typical soup or even stew. Had the sphinx burger with fries. Burger was excellent. Probably the best part was the bun, toasted and buttery and the meat was very juicy. Probably the only bad part of the meal and why I didn't give this place a 5 was the fries. They were a bit overdone and lacked seasoning and a good, crispy coating. I'd go back and probably stay away from the fries. read more

We found this amazing restaurant/bar as we were exploring Montana. Cute small town called Ennis and let me tell you the drive on 284 from Bannack was breathtaking. The food was top notch and I can not say enough about the pulled pork and onion rings were some on the best I've ever eaten! Waitress was pleasant and personable and the service was on point! One of the best meals we have had on our trip so far! read more

After a long day of travel we stopped here for dinner. We ate at the bar. Great service and food. The taco salad was very tasty and big. So much meat!! Deep fried she'll, spring mix, and fresh guac. read more

We had been on the road for a few hours & this town looked so cute that we decided to stop & walk for a bit. We were hungry & stopped in this, what appeared to be a "locals" bar. We were warmly welcomed in, had a nice chat with the bartender & a local about the town & ordered a French dip to split. It was honestly one of the best that we've ever had, not sure if the beef was local but it certainly tasted fresh & the roll was so fresh tasting as well. The fries, we've never had any like them & I wish that I had asked how they made them because they were unusual looking but were amazing! We will definitely be back next time we're in the area! read more

Gravel Bar - Bar area with tables as well - Bars Near Me - Ennis, Montana

Stopped here for lunch. It was good food and over all the service was good. It's a fun atmosphere. We sat outside and the patio was awesome. Had the wings and fries (side of fries was larger than I expected) wife had the enchiladas. And some friends had the fish and chips. Service was good but at the end we didn't really talk to our waitress, and then it was like they were rushing us out. The busser about took my water glass out of my hand because they needed our table. Just felt it was on them to leave us sitting there forever and then rushing to get us out wasn't the greatest. read more

What a great place to stop for lunch! The chips and queso were great and all our sandwiches were fantastic! Our server was super!!!!! read more

Gravel Bar - Grilled chicken sandwich - Bars Near Me - Ennis, Montana

If you want an excellent shepard's pie this is the place. They use the traditional ground lamb instead of hamburger and it is amazing.

I actually stopped at this place to use the bathroom and my partner looked at the menu and when I came out, he was sitting down at the table. lol Our waitress came over. She was fun and friendly. We asked her about what we should try and she recommended the shepherds pie for me and we also ordered the beef nachos. The shepherds pie was fire!!!! And very tasty and flavorful. The nachos were very good as well and a good size portion. The bar was quiet at that time, but we went early evening. Everyone was nice. The food came out in a timely fashion. I would definitely go there again. read more

The food was great but their chips and queso was amazing!!! I'm not going to lie, we would order chips and queso to go every night we were there for a late snack , it was that good! We still think about it till this day!! the service was great, our waitress was very attentive to our needs and was very friendly read more

This is our second visit to Gravel Bar. The service is always exceptional and tonight they had live music that was also wonderful. However, the food was just ok. Last time we came here everything tasted hot & freshly made. This visit the fries and onion rings were cold and over cooked. Probably won't go back since there are other options to explore in the area. read more

Do not get the fish and chips !!! Not worth 19.00. Wouldn't let my dog sit with me on the patio.

It was an amazing warm experience where our whole family felt comfortable and wanted. It was overall amazing experience and the servers were awesome. read more

I love this cool local pub. The atmosphere and decor were great and the service at the bar was excellent. I had the bacon cheeseburger was the best I've had in a very long time. Can't wait to go back. I need the T-shirt. read more

This place has absolutely amazing chicken enchiladas! I visited two years ago from Chicago, and this time around it was first on my stops for lunch! Really quirky atmosphere, the staff is really friendly, and I think they even have live music sometimes in the evenings. Those enchiladas though... they are great. Very flavorful and super filling. Highly recommend! read more

Gravel Bar - Chicken enchiladas and a side of chips and salsa. Yum! - Bars Near Me - Ennis, Montana

Service was very slow. Food was ok but seemed over priced for what it was- but there are not a ton of options.

If you've never been here you must try it! We dine here whenever we are in Ennis and it's always good! The food is great and so is the service, even when they are really busy! We will continue to return. Our faves are the burgers, fries and salads. They make very good cocktails as too! Well done, Gravel Bar! read more

I can't speak for the rest of the menu because I've only eaten there once but their walleye was delicious.

Always a great meal at the Gravel Bar. Service was top-notch and the food was high quality. It's always been our go-to place when we're in the area, which is annually. Other places have disappointed, but the Gravel Bar is consistently excellent. read more

It was so busy when we came in, that we snagged a dirty table when a family left. (I know wait staff hate when people do that, so we compensated them accordingly ). SO glad we took the risk and grabbed that table because the food was delicious! I LOVED the French dip, my husband was barely able to finish his Cowboy burger, and we agreed the onion rings are some of the best we've had. We're staying at a cabin 35 mi. away....but we will make a point to come again before we leave the area. YUM and great service! ** Listening to the locals at the bar, who appeared to have been there a while, was just a bonus ** read more

If you like burgers, DEFINITELY order one here. It's been quite awhile since I've had a restaurant burger this good! I got the Cowboy Burger (BBQ sauce and onion rings) cooked Medium... soooooo DELICIOUS!!! The hot redhead on the other corner of the bar ordered a different burger and I overheard her say "This is the best burger I've had in a long time!" read more

Horrible experience. All I really wanna say is the service was so bad never got my food. Until the very end when we were asked about our bill that's when we said we never got the rest of our food so they tried giving me the sandwich which looked like it was sitting under a heat lamp for god knows how long. I told the server I wasn't paying for that and she proceeds to say that they're busy, which that's not my fault I'm a paying patron. So if you are short staffed your management if failing you. The last thing she said was since she brought the food out and it was made we would have to pay for it. What customer service!! I wouldn't have fed that old burnt sandwich to even my pet. If I could give this experience a negative star I would have. Again horrible horrible experience. read more

We were stopping in Ennis for food and this was the first place we found. It was about a 30 minute wait due to it being prime dinner rush, absolutely no problem. We had gotten sat and our servers name was Liz. We had a party of 5 and we had asked for water and she said that she would give us all water and we had also gotten some other drinks as well. We had waited about 40 minutes for our food. The table behind us had gotten sat after us and got their order taken after us. By this time they had gotten their water and we had only gotten our other drinks. The table behind us had gotten their food even though they ordered after us. My mom had only gotten a water and we had asked Liz for the water twice and never got it we ended up going up to the bar and asking for one. Liz had walked past our table multiple times completely ignoring us and our EMPTY cups at the end of the table. Then when we finally got our food it was cold. Like it had been ready for a while. I asked if I could have ranch with my fries at the beginning and I didn't get it. When we got our food she had asked if we needed anything else, we did have a full list of things because we were waiting for 40 minutes. And our refill cups we had changed one of the drinks and I'd assume she didn't hear me so I had repeated that the Shirley Temple we were wanting to switch to a coke. She had gotten annoyed that I had asked that, I said please and everything. We had complained to the guy at the front seating people and he was super nice and super understanding. Even if I was a local I would not suggest this establishment. Food was not good for how expensive it is. read more

Stopped over on our way to Glacier from Yellowstone! It happened to be a Sunday so options were limited. Really limited considering we had our dog with us. So glad we chose Gravel Bar! As a fam we had nachos, Shepard's pie and a burger plus shared chips and salsa and some beer. A total win! The fries are natural cut and amazing and the chips have a seasoning sprinkled on them, which make them extra awesome! We may never come through Ennis again, but If we do... we'll be back! read more

Had lunch here today. Veggie Sandwich and Butternut Squash Bisque. It was SO delicious. Thanks to our server Bo and the Cook for a memorable meal. read more

This is the it place to go after a long day of fishing. They sometimes have live music, play too much Grateful Dead music , and have good drink specials. The food is okay. Many of their menu items are not available when you request them. We went here multiple times only because there isn't really anywhere else to go for dinner. The servers never got our orders correct , but they happily fixed them. I think they were overwhelmed and under trained. The atmosphere wasn't too friendly towards "out of towners ". The locals bitched about how the visitors made places too crowded. We also heard local fishing guides at the bar making fun of how stupid their clients were. We also got ignored by the female bartender. Once we sat at a table the waiter got us the drinks. read more

Been here numerous times, alway good food and drink. But man o man, the service tonight was terrible!! Young blonde bartender definitely needs a new career; avoided looking at anyone, had to wave her down just to get service (and I'm sitting at the bar!!), spoke softly and never ever ever seemed remotely friendly. Hire the right talent! Please! This will kill your vibe read more

Great food, great beer, great service, great atmosphere. Everything you want in a Montana bar.

We just had dinner there and it was fantastic from every aspect...from the rustic atmosphere, the excellent service and the wonderful food!! Our server (we didn't get his name but he's the engineering student in AZ), was FANTASTIC! He kept our glasses refilled and checked on us at appropriate time intervals. We will definitely be back when we visit the area again. We all had burgers and it was Montana beef and it was superb. I highly recommend this restaurant!!! read more

Our groups food was over cooked and burned in spots- nachos and a chicken sandwich. Had an ask for silverware a couple of times. No one checked to see if we wanted/needed drink refills. Not enough staff for the number of people. Wont ever go back there. read more

What a nice find - we highly recommend . At first we were hesitant b/c we thought it was a bar and was looking for good food ... to our surprise what a great place to eat ! My partner ordered the pulled pork burger , and a 1000 miles later he is still raving about what a great and which that was . The pork was tasty and the sauce delightful . I ordered the hamburger and wow it was delicious ! Cooked to perfection, juicing ( messy to eat) and the bun was yummy ! Let's not forget to mention the wonderful assortments of beers and hard ciders. Our review would not be compete without the mention of our great waiter, Kyle. He was not only on top of everything but also delightful to talk with . We walked out talking about what a great choice for dinner and what a wonderful young man to visit with . We highly recommend this place to anyone passing thru the area . read more

Burgers are solid, wings are solid, taco salad is solid. Jennifer at the bar is cool as can be and very helpful. I highly recommend! If Gravel Bar is closed, head to burnt tree for a pizza! Can't go wrong with anything here at the ol GB. Drinks are reasonable as well! read more

Absolutely and unexpectedly impressed. We hit town at 3pm, the dead hour for food service. With two hungry toddlers in tow and the risk of hungry meltdowns high, we did a quick sweep through town to assess our options and were grateful to see Gravel Bar open. The back patio was cozy enough, and the indoor bar was spacious and had great montana small town vibes. Service was attentive and efficient. And lunch was so good! The fried green tom BLT might be the best BLT I've ever had....which feels like a really bold thing to say but honestly it's true! Hubby loved his burger and fries, and tots gobbled their chicken tenders w/o complaint (which might be the biggest compliment of all). read more

The Shepard's pie was alright. Burger and beers were good.

Bad food and bad service seems to be a common problem in these great small Montana towns. Tonight was the worst. Bartender with a bad attitude. Burger cold with a soggy bun. The common comment is "Staffing Shortage". Better get it figured out Ennis. Not coming back soon. Beer was cold. read more
