    Amazing food and so accommodating for our group of 7! I had the breakfast burrito (with bacon) twice because it is just that delicious. The breakfast sandwhich also looked really good. I saved half of the burrito to eat in the afternoon after hiking at Glacier Park and it was perfect and helped to keep me going for the rest of the day. All the desserts (brownie, cookie, huckleberry cheesecake, carrot cake) I've had from there so far has been so good and my favorite was the carrot cake. Shoutout to Allie and the ladies for being wonderfully accommodating and also making our friend's bday special. On our first visit we were on a time crunch and they handled two go orders gracefully were very sweet.

    This is a small place with about ten tables and six picnic tables. The Huckleberry Elk burger was absolutely delicious and resulted in us coming back on the way home from the park (despite the very hefty $26 price) and the special jalapeño bacon with cheese was tasty. They don't have fries, but the Hawaiian style macaroni salad was perfect. The best I've had in a long while. Simply done, great flavor. Friendly service

    Bacon jam elk burger and chili

    Layla took our order at the counter and answered our questions about whether bison or elk would be a good choice for our burgers. She was very warm and friendly as was the other waitress who delivered our meals to our table outside. I got the huckleberry buffalo burger. My husband got the bacon jam elk burger (because you can switch out beef for bison or elk). My side was the broccoli salad, and my husband got a cup of chili. The broccoli salad was made with slivered almonds, cherries, red onion, and bacon. It was delicious. My husband's chili was chock full of a variety of beans and meats. It's probably one of the best chilies we've had. The burgers were so delicious. I was skeptical about (sweet) huckleberry jam on a burger but WOW was it delicious. If you find yourself outside Glacier National Park, include a lunch stop at Great Bear Cafe since they aren't open for dinner. The food and service are fantastic!

    Nestled in the small town of Hungry Horse, just outside Glacier National Park, Great Bear Cafe is known for their elm and bison burgers served up in a casual environment. We stopped by here for a burger lunch. I ordered their build your own elk burger with sauteed onions and mushrooms and cheese with their broccoli salad as my side. The burger was juicy and flavorful and the broccoli salad was crisp and fresh. Everything tasted cozy and home made. The dining room is simple but comfortable. They have a few outdoor tables as well. The service is warm and welcoming. We loved our experience here! Get to it!

    Biscuit and gravy sandwich was phenomenal

    Great service, great food, great vibes. A perfect example of the all American breakfast dinning experience. 20/10

    Elk burger with broccoli salad
    Morgan D.

    I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. We were visiting for 4 full days... we came here 4 times. Everything was phenomenal, but the real star of the show was the breakfast sandwiches. The biscuits are unmatched, bacon was thick and tasty, egg cooked to perfection. Not being dramatic, it's the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had!! Elk burger was also super tasty, and the service was great. We had Sherri (might be mixing up spelling), who was so kind and also gave us recommendations for what to do on our trip. We would never come back to this area and not go here! Prioritize it!

    Bison Chili

    Just what we needed after a good hike. It was filling, hot, fresh, and tasty. Service is a bit slow even though there wasn't a lot of customers. I believe it's only one cook. So it does take time. But the burger was not gamey at all and was tender. So perfectly made. The chili was hot, full of meat and beans. It was flavorful and Smokey too. Highly recommend!

    Huckleberry Elk burger- no spinach; macaroni salad
    Funnybunny061397 ..

    Overall, we really enjoyed our visit. The burger was a bit pricey, but very delicious. The bacon was nice and THICK. Macaroni salad was not the standard recipe--it went quite heavy on the grated carrots. But I'm not picky, and still enjoyed it. The huckleberry dessert was essentially a cheesecake, which I loved. Staff were also very friendly and attentive. Five stars.

    See all

    We're from the South and I have to say that your biscuits and gravy are the best we've ever had. Great Job!
