    A great breakfast place, with the food well prepared and outstanding service. It's a classic…read more1950-60's small town diner with a loving and careful waitress. The rest of the menu is classic. Great job!

    The bottom line: can't recommend it. See the pic? The dark brown puddles on my omelet are dirty…read moregriddle grease. The hashbrowns, starchless and un-crispy, seemed to be roped with it too. I ate half my omelet out of hating to waste food, but I feel like they wasted it, not me. The eggs were paper-thin and dry, with the sliced American cheese and cubed ham adding a ton of salt. I prefer well seasoned food, but this was too much. Three stars also might seem like too much, but the bacon was exquisite in quality and preparation, my husband's sunny-side-up eggs were perfect, the coffee was good and hot (even if the service was a bit chilly) and the people watching was excellent. NB: I don't "people watch" with contempt; I care about people. I particularly like to see regular visitors enjoying themselves. That morning we had two older gentlemen meeting for breakfast and Bible study; a quiet interaction between people engaged in sobriety support; a young family trying to wrangle little ones and mostly succeeding; and what appeared to be a trucker taking a late breakfast before hitting the road. All of these could have been regulars from my childhood and I enjoyed the ambiance very much. My family used to go to the Nite Owl in the late 70s / early 80s for rare restaurant dinners. Their Chef's Salad was my favorite treat at the time, and I really savored it. Before moving away from the Valley a few years later, I started ordering breakfasts and they were also grand: fluffy omelets rich with cheese, crispy hash browns...a real treat. Revisiting last week it was not the same. Too bad.

    Great Food Indoor and outdoor seating…read moreIncredible beer menu We made a stop here late in the day for some food and we were shocked how FANTASTIC the food was. Rarely do you find a spot that has great beer and great food, but Backslope does both But if you read my reviews, you know I like to steer you through the menu, at least what we tried. Foreman's Stout - full bodied, delicious. Ginger/Lemonade - refreshing, sooooo GOOD. House Fries - sliced as chips, but so good. Hummus - great consistency, but needed some citrus to finish it off. Still good, but I am picky about hummus. Tzatziki sauce - incredible, delicious, get this. Pecan Salad with Chicken - HOLY SMOKES, my wife loved this dish. She made me come back another time just so she vould have it again. Gyro Platter - light on the chicken, but really delicious. It was enough for two or more meals. Gyro - so full I could not fit it into my mouth. But enough for two. Really great find,

    Stopped in because of the high rating on yelp. At first, however I was not too sure I made the…read moreright decision because it took quite a while for the server to take an order from me. It might have been because it was some sort of a trivia night and they seemed quite busy with a regular crowd that was there. However, I did stay and I ended up ordering the ginger bowl 2.0 along with a hummus plate and I was very, very surprised as how good it all was. In fact "excellent " tells it all. I would definitely come back just for those two selections alone. Not at all what I would've expected in a "bar" in Columbia Falls, Montana. Some Asian choices, some Middle Eastern choices, some American choices on the menu and more. I was very impressed with just the two that I got so I want to come back and try again. The ambience was rather an open environment, wood chairs, wood tables, no booths, but comfortable and had more of that "bar" feel to it but there were kids there so families were welcome

    This meal was probably my favorite during our three day trek in Montana. Just what I was looking…read morefor- tons of veggies and flavor. We stumbled upon the Tuesday night farmers market in downtown Whitefish and Phat Wombat was there. Their menu was chock full of flavor packed, veggie-filled dishes. The staff was incredibly helpful and enthusiastic in helping lead me through the menu and navigate my shellfish allergy. I ended up ordering the bowl filled with pickled poblanos, onions, carrots, sriracha mayonnaise, sweet potatoes, avocado, tofu and an egg on top. Wow, I'm still thinking about this delicious bowl days later. To top it all off, I ordered the ginger lemonade that had pea flower extract (hence the purple color). If I lived in the Whitefish area, I would certainly be a regular. Healthy and interesting food can be hard to come by in smaller towns and Phat Wombat is filling that void.

    I knew Phat Wombat was going to be amazing. It's even…read morebetter than I expected! We had the jerko bowl and the happy wombat. Insert drool here. The jerko is an explosion of flavors. Perfectly balanced, creamy, tangy, crunchy, spicy, sweet.... I never want this to end. It is scrumptious. We chose chicken but I would love to try it with pork or even tofu. I cannot wait to eat this again. The happy wombat is all of my favorite things. Roasted tomatoes, creamy goat cheese, perfectly chewy brown rice and some green sauce that is vibrant and tangy. I have to look at the menu again now! I also got Rice Krispie treats, I can't wait to try one. They are huge!
