Hungry Bear Steak House

We were on our way to Columbia Falls. We were looking for a quality spot to eat that wasn't fast…read morefood and was open past 8pm. We happened to find Lindey's Prime Steakhouse and read the reviews. We happened to be a mile away! Not the simplicity of the menu and the flexibility that you can share a meal and have the meat cooked two different temperatures was very appealing. The salad was crisp and delicious and the salad dressing was wonderful. The garlic bread, albeit was a little overcooked. It was very tasty. The button mushrooms were tender and sautéed perfectly. The steak was amazing and a lot more than two people could complete in a meal. The potatoes were the only lackluster item that we received. They looked like some type of breakfast potato. They were a little bit undercooked, and there was a spice that was odd tasting on it. Otherwise excellent service, a great view and a great atmosphere and fabulous food There was a $2 charge for credit card that we weren't told about.

Okay, I read the other reviews and we decided to give Lindey's a try. It's been there for YEARS,…read moreit's kind of an icon. So we took the drive from Missoula to Seeley Lake, which was beautiful. The location is marvelous, a beautiful place with a great lake view. It was lunch, so we ordered a hamburger, the menu was different from what their website shows, be forewarned. Your burger options are listed with fewer cheese and topping choices. We both opted for the side salad instead of a "bag of chips" as our side. (No fries, tots or onion rings, just a heads up) The meal arrived, the salad was super cold, crisp iceberg lettuce with 3 tiny tomatoes and western style dressing. It was small but very tasty. The menu said the burger would be cooked medium, that sounded fine but but was actually much closer to well done. The meat itself had virtually no flavor and would have been terrible if not for the toppings. The server was fair, it seemed a little like she really didn't want to serve us, maybe she was having a bad day. There was only 1 other couple in the restaurant, I understand why. With mediocre food and service we certainly won't be back!

Our waiter who is from Ecuador could not have been more hospitable. We had the flatbread, quail and spinach artichoke dip for starters. Incredible! We then had the ribeye with mashed potatoes and veggies. Another incredible choice. Steaks were cooked to perfection, and you could taste the fresh sourced taste in the beef. We give this hidden gem 10 stars! If we are ever back to Montana, we will be back with reservations! Thank you for accommodating us! The "Pin Pals" Maurepas, Louisiana

Stopped there for dinner on September 6 as we were driving back to Columbia Falls, a big mistake!!…read moreThe service was very slow although the place was not that full. The guy actually asked us if we had a reservation when the place was not that full. I ordered a New York Strip and it was the worst one I have ever had, Over half of it was fat and was so hard to cut probably would have been better off using a chainsaw. Ordered medium well and it was way undercooked Then the desert, we ordered a Huckleberry Cheesecake and the slice was the width of 2 cookies put together Only good part of the meal was the potatoes. Told and showed the waiter all of the steak fat and he said he would tell the cook. WOW

It's easy to see by the number of cars when we drive by. It's a popular restaurant for a good reason. The Meh - nothing to report. The Bad - Staffing has been short each time we're here. We had to remind the front desk twice that we hadn't seen a server in 20, and the 30 minutes after we were seated. We were reminded that we did the same in 2022 and moved into the bar side to get served. A server said that someone hadn't shown up for their shift, and maybe that's why the owner was there helping out.

But because they have a distillery on site it made the wait more than bearable. We headed up to the distillery and ordered a few of the delicious cocktails. The staff gave us a "by the looks of the parking lot" estimate of our wait time and they were spot on. The restaurant is decorated with tons of antlers and taxidermy of the local wildlife. Their food and specials were fairly priced for the amount we got. Friends ordered the rib eye and shrimp special. We got the porterhouse. They were kind enough to split our entrees given the huge portions. Great service and a fun restaurant!

The fresh chips were nice and the pico was good but the combo of veiny, bony chunks of dry chicken with the sweet BBQ sauce and sour "cheese" made it inedible.

Maybe the nachos are just a bad item and they have other good stuff. I wouldn't give it another try unless to grab a beer.
