Columbia Falls is small, maybe 6,000 residents, but their food scene punches way above their population, As an example, take Gunsight Saloon: - Good Food - Live Music - Great drink selection - Super Service [[HIGHLIGHT]]We had a great time listening to live music and meeting the locals. Everyone was so friendly and tge kids could run around and play, which we always enjoy seeing[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. But if you read my reviews, you wanna know about the food: Homemade Ranch - homemade says it all. Delish. Potatoe Salad - good, different, not stellar. Sweet Potato Fries - great side. Gunsight Burger - good, hearty, good flavor. Bandit Burger - spicy version of their burger. Beer - Cold Smoke, my wife loved this beer. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Like I said, fun venue, good service, great atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The food here was pretty good. I ordered the ribs, and while they could have been a little more moist and flavorful, they were still enjoyable. I live in Texas, so I have pretty high standards when it comes to barbecue. Overall, it's a nice, laid-back place to hang out, and I'd definitely consider coming back. read more

On our last night in the area, we had to try Gunsigbt Saloon. It was highly recommended by the locals with good food and live music. It was popular, so the line to order was long but went through fairly quick. Food and drinks are different lines. When you get your order in, find a table and the beeper will page you when it's ready. We got burgers, one with fries and with the watermelon. Burgers were delicious. Cooked smashed style, they had nice crispy edges. Watermelon was fresh and juicy. Fries were crispy. Great dinner. [[HIGHLIGHT]]While the food is good, the music was even better. It was a solo guitarist who sang classic country. He was great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Many were sending up tips with a request and he did a great job of being able to handle most requests. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The outdoor setting was awesome and the stage allowed everyone to see the entertainment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] On street parking was easy. Great stop. read more

Chips and salsa - decent but non descript. Really shouldn't be more than $5 for what you're getting. Literally store bought chips with a cup of salsa. Strawberry and Walnut salad - refreshing and tasty. Burnt ends - meh I've had much better. If you're really jonesin for some I guess they're OK. Curry chicken salad pita - it was okay but lacked depth. Definitely overpriced for what you get. Sweet potato fries were definitely worth the upgrade however! Regular fries had an odd aftertaste. Just get the sweet potato upgrade. Caesar and burger I heard were good. The best thing this place has going for it imo is their homemade ranch dressing! Wow very good. Fresh and tasty, everything ranch should be. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tbh very disappointed with this place. It was overly packed with people, had poor signage that YOU HAVE TO ORDER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RESTAURANT - THEY WILL NOT COME TO YOUR SEAT![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our "waiter" gave us water and cleaned the table but never told us this so we waited 20 min and would have waited another hour if we didn't figure it out. AND you have to order drinks at a separate place outside. My biggest gripe food wise is that the Mac and Cheese looked REALLY good but they don't offer it other than as an entrée. Poor move imo as a restaurant move! Servers were very rude as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is cool they have outside live music I must say and the ambiance is cool.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Conversely, I do have to say my wife thought this was her favorite food so far in MT for what that's worth. In the future, I'd rather head across the street to North Fork Pizza than risk going back here. The pizza smelled diviiiiine from outside! read more

Great stop while in Columbia Falls. Food, service and atmosphere all great. Not at all a hokey tourist spot. Live music outside several nights a week. Plenty of outdoor seating and a good selection of drinks at the two bars. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Family friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Food could be improved. But for a place in my backyard I'll take it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love sitting in the back patio.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Or inside while playing trivia.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The bar staff remembers you and that's what's important. read more

Truly some of the best food I've ever had!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service and ambiance were also fabulous![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Decent Spot with Friendly Staff I had the special burger and it was good, nothing mind-blowing but solid. The staff were super friendly, which really stood out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, it's an average saloon--not many options in town, so it does the job if you're nearby.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The chef needs to return to basic culinary school as there is NO IDEA how to cook a burger. I was told they are all made "well done." Save your money & go elsewhere read more

We bought the trio tacos. They were flavorless and dry. Friend got the jambalaya. She took a few bites and said should couldn't eat it was just mush. The wings were soggy. Not crispy as they should be. We decided we'd need to be a few drinks in to enjoy the food here. So start with alcohol and then eat. read more

This was our first stop when we arrived in Montana for the Big Sky Festival and it kicked off our vacation perfectly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The food is incredible and the setting spectacular with indoor and outdoor seating and live music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Even the merchandise was great. I recommend the burnt ends and my wife loved the dirty fries and cucumber gin and tonic. You do have to order at a counter and pick up your food when the buzzer goes off but they were quick despite how busy it was. It was so good we went back again while in town! read more

We weren't expecting it to be as busy as it was when we stopped by for dinner on a Monday night. With a band playing, the outdoor area was popping, and we soon learned the inside was too. Everything is ordered at the bar, after standing in a long line. It wasn't until after I ordered that I was told it would take 45-60 mins to get the food. Oh well, it was late, and there weren't really an other good options, so we waited. Our buzzer buzzed less than 40 minutes later, so I went to the bar to get the food and condiments. At least they've got. Good system down. Burgers were really good. My Yumi Yumi was a gooey mess, but the burger was cooked well, and the flavors were delicious. My wife liked her veggie burger too. Fries -- both regular and sweet potato -- were both delicious. read more

Fun place. We sat outside to get ready for the live music. The guy was good! You go to the bar area and order your meal. They give you a buzzer and then you grab your food. I got the catfish po-boy. It was moist and seasoned really well. I also got sweet potato fries as my side. They were crispy enough and I had asked for ranch for dipping. A lady did come by and put a water pitcher at our table. Super chill place. Weather was nice that day too so that helped make the experience good! read more

Gunsight Saloon was our first stop in town, and it made a great first impression. We tried The Last Chance Burger and The Sportsman--both were generously portioned and tasty. We subbed in sweet potato fries, which ended up being the real star of the show as they had great flavor. We also shared two mini cupcakes--key lime and tiramisu--which were perfectly sized. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was cozy yet lively with live music playing outside, and the interior had a great rustic vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was decent, though it's worth noting that orders are placed at the counter and picked up via buzzer. Overall, I'm giving Gunsight a solid 4/5 stars for the good food, atmosphere, and good customer service. read more

Looooved the food here!!! Great service, easy to call it in and pick it up, and incredible food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was great and looked like fun[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] (we sort of regretted just ordering it takeout haha!) and the Mac n cheese was my FAVVVV. Highly recommend this spot! read more

Horrible food. Chicken wings came out cold after waiting an hour. Beef tacos had one rubbery piece of beef in each taco. Have gotten food poisoning from here twice. Overpriced drinks. Great music tho ‍ read more

Was not impressed with the service here, Service could be better. Rude staff. Food needs improvement.

This place is still killin' it!!! Great music, food, drinks, and some of the best service in the valley! My only complaint is that on these rainy spring days, it can get a little muggy in there! read more

The food was really good and I think they know how to cook lol! The service was okay but a tad slow but in general their busy. The ambiance was great, it was a old style western mixed with Indian decor and it made everything pop. When I went, live music was playing outside and it made the experience even better. read more

We knew Sunday was prime rib night, and they don't accept reservations. Since they open at 5 pm, we arrived at 5:30. We were greeted by a sign that said, "Seat yourself, order your drinks from the bar and food from the kitchen." There was a one-man band setting up to play, so we found a table, went to the kitchen, and then up to the bar. After ordering food, they give you a plastic buzzer so you know your food is ready. The prime rib had excellent smokey flavor, but it was a little tough. (I would order it again) The baked potato was just a little undercooked, and I would hold the cheese sauce next time. The veggies was asparagus, which was perfectly cooked. Overall, a good meal! read more

Gunsight Saloon - Smoked prime rib special on Sunday. - American Near Me - Columbia Falls, Montana

Great backyard bbq style bar and grill for an affordable price. Live music outside creates a party atmosphere and is good fun. Watch out for the Bees if you go in summer! We started with the Burnt Belly Ends, which were very tasty. For the main course I had the bbq pulled pork sandwich with potato salad and my wife had the buttermilk fried chicken sandwich with fries. My wife had a Bloody Mary and I had a non-alcoholic zero punch. The food and drinks were delicious! To order food and drinks you have to wait in separate lines, but the staff are friendly and efficient. I highly recommend it if you ever find yourself in Columbia Falls, Montana visiting Glacier National Park. read more

I took my family here to grab a bite while visiting friends in C Falls. I had been here for concerts and drinks before, which were good experiences. This visit was my first time getting food here, and will be the last. I got the cheese steak sandwich, which was small and the meat tasted off. My wife got a room temp burger with cold fries . Our son got chicken tenders that were so dry he wouldn't eat them. I know it's bad when my 11 year old won't eat chicken tenders, even with the help of ranch and ketchup. They were not busy at all, so there was no reason for cold food. For the prices they are charging, they could at least make something decent and hot. If you are coming here to drink and see a band play, then it's worth a visit. As for the food, go anywhere else. It's terrible and over priced. read more

Overall my boyfriend and I are giving gunsight a 4/5 stars, the interior was on point, the food was yummy, and the service was speedy. To order you stand in line and you receive a buzzer when your food is ready, efficient model, but loses the personable feel of being waited on. The Philly cheesesteak was good, but nothing special, just your typical cheesesteak. Same for the cesar salad. The sweet potato fries are what stole the show! Gunsight definitely knows how to make sweet potato fries, they were thin enough to be soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. The flavor of them was amazing. The pricing was also slightly high, but with competing prices and tourist season it's to be expected. For example, the basket of fries was $11 and should have been about $8. read more

We got there just before the kitchen closed, but got our order in just in time. Friendly staff, tasty food and great live entertainment. Fun to experience a more locals' favorite rather than one geared more for tourists. read more

We stopped in for a late lunch after arriving from the airport in Glacier. There were 4 of us. We had hamburgers and a rib dinner. All were good. We also had the burnt ends appetizer- very good. I was kind of expecting the burnt ends to be tough but they were not - very tender and tasty with a tasty glaze on them. The only thing 2 of us weren't a huge fan of were the fries. Now they were fine, it's just the type they were that we personally don't like. The other 2 with us like liked them. We did eat some of them. The restaurant has a great atmosphere inside- old western saloon - which goes perfectly with the name. You can also sit outside. We sat inside as it was a bit chilly. Would eat there again. read more

This was highly recommended by our host and some publications we read everywhere else. This place has a huge outdoor park like benches where kids can run around. It has a stage for performance, there was a music when we were there. You went to the counter to place your order, they gave you a buzzer, you find a table, pick your food in the kitchen area after your buzzer goes off. The food is probably okay when they call you once it's ready, we waited for about 45 min for both meat and veggie burgers, Mac and cheese, fries, their special platter and burnt end belly. I checked 10 min before our buzzer went off, because there were a couple of people who ordered behind me they got their orders, ate and bussed their tables and our orders were not out yet. It turned out the Mac and cheese were popular that night and it took a lot longer to cook. As a result the rest of our order just sat on the counter. They should have called us and perhaps saved the dishes. The ribs were dry as well as the burgers and burnt end belly appetizers. No amount of sauce helped to add some moisture to the dish. The only decent meal is the Mac and cheese. The burnt end belly was overly sweet and salty, they must have poured 1 cup of hoisin sauce too much. The veggie burger was very disappointing both in flavor and texture. This place i think is not ready for vegetarian diner unless you just want to eat fries. I don't think I will come to this place again unless I just want a meat burger. read more

We walked here so no worry about parking, staff was kind... you seat and serve yourself! I like that they offer live music most nights of the week, with a large back patio. While my partner enjoyed the pull pork, I thought there were little to no veggie options- my only choice was the caprese burger, which was soggy and dull. Wouldn't recommend for vegetarian options, but appears to have good nightlife and would be a great place to hang out with pals. read more

Interesting concept, you order your food at a table by the kitchen and find a table and order drinks separately. Not sure why but that's how they do it. We sat at the bar to be close to the alcohol. they had live music and the place was packed. Bar tender was attentive. Food was ok.

Very neat place with live music! We stumbled upon this place while trying to find somewhere to eat for dinner and loved that there was live music outside. This place is cool because theres indoor seating then the whole space in the back for live music, a whole bar and bunch of picnic tables and chairs. You go up to order your food at their counter, you wait for your buzzer to ring and pick up your food so there's no servers but someone did bring us some waters. We got the Philly cheesesteak sandwich with fries, huckleberry bbq wings and a side ceasar salad. Also a huckleberry mule. Philly cheesesteak sandwich 4/5: fries were good. Huckleberry wings 4/5: had good flavor, it was sweet, tangy and had a little spicy kick to it. Came with some celery and carrots. Their ranch was very watery and not good. Luckily the wings didn't need any dipping sauce. read more

First time in Montana this week, and I went to this place twice! The gunsight burger is the best burger I've ever had. The inside feels like modern western, and outside has a bar and live music in the summer. Service was great, everyone was really nice. Everything was super clean as well. Highly recommend if you live here, are visiting, or just passing through! read more

If you read my reviews it's rare when I give a 3 star review. I love restaurants and admire the effort and determination it takes to succeed. Some misses for me...No servers at table side. You stand in a line and place your order at a cashier. It's not personable. I felt much is lost in our connection to a server. Some of our food came out cold. It wasn't great!! The menu is diverse and there is plenty to like about the food selections. Pricing was fine!! Among the misses there are some major hits!! The backyard feeling outdoor space is crazy good and ambiance is off the charts!! Our bartender outside was amazing and she won the day for our experience!! She was witty and quick with a drink !! If you know what you are getting into without table service most likely you wouldn't be as disappointed as I was. I hope you think through your service business model and switch back to old school!! read more
