We were told to come try the pie. No Huckleberry. I had Blackberry Pie. Very good. Sis had Chocolate Mint Ice Cream Pie. She said it was good, especially the Oreo crust. Friend had the Razzleberry which is mix of blackberry, raspberry, and blueberry. He said it was good too. Park Cafe is a diner just outside the entrance to East Glacier in the town of St. Mary. Nice, casual feel to it. Looks like good place for a meal, not just pie. Service is friendly. read more

Park Cafe - Blackberry Pie ala mode. No Huckleberry Pie - American Near Me - Saint Mary, Montana

Pies, pies and more pies! I came to Glacier years ago and one of the places that I remember the most was Park Cafe's pies because they were awesome. I came back and they definitely lived up to the memory. Their pies are amazing. If you can, I would recommend getting the chocolate and coconut cream pies. They tend to run out of these pretty quickly because people love them so much. The chocolate pie is delicious. It's decadent and rich and oh so good. The coconut cream pie has little shavings of coconut in it and the pie filling is sweet but not too sweet. It's a little bit lighter but absolutely yummy. The berry pies are really good as well. The rhubarb pie is nice and tart while the blueberry pie is a little bit sweeter and full of blueberries. The pie crust is flaky and not too dense, providing a good filling to crust ratio. The food here is pretty decent too but always remember to save room for dessert! Overall: yummy yummy pies + decent food + nice staff + beautiful location right outside Glacier = I wish I could teleport their pies to my house because they are just so darn good! read more

This is for two different meals back in June 2008 when we visited Glacier. The first one was dinner. We had a longish wait, at least 20 minutes, since there are not that many seats. Sadly we made the mistake of ordering the special that night, which was freshly caught whitefish from Saint Mary Lake. The fish was bland and the sides were also unmemorable. Perhaps if we had ordered something off the regular menu we would not have had that impression, but alas. The pie was good, of course, though we thought the pie at Two Sisters Cafe was equally good. The second morning after staying at a cabin at Johnsons, we decided to avoid their cafe and come here for breakfast. Much better idea. It is hard to mess up breakfast (which Johnsons did), but Park Cafe was awesome. Don't remember what we had, but it all tasted great. And we might have had more pie. Yes, for breakfast. It seems to be the thing to eat around here. So 2 stars for the dinner and 4 for the breakfast makes 3 stars. read more

-The stuffed portabella was pretty nice. -Staff was pretty friendly. -The place seems to be meant for different pies. Wish they had a pie sampler. They said, they are considering working on it. Probably, next time, I would get, if they have. read more

Great food. Strawberry Rhubarb Pies are amazing. Milkshakes served with a spoon. Service is very friendly even when super busy read more

Great food, great atmosphere could bring our dog out on the deck with us! The manager and waitstaff are so nice and helpful. Great fresh and homemade food! Loved it read more

Park Cafe - Had a wonderful dinner here after a day of hiking in glacier. Had a buffalo burger and all the fixings and razz liberty pie - American Near Me - Saint Mary, Montana

Awesome food great service very quick to bring your food if they're busy you might have to wait a bit. Got the fish and chips and the Brie and bacon cheese sandwich. French fries are excellent. Great place to come when you're hungry from fishing or hiking they will take care of you. read more

Park Cafe - Awesome food Quick Service - American Near Me - Saint Mary, Montana

Not a bad place. We came here late and just got pie, but the servers were definitely not excited to see our group. They did what they could to get us our pie (a la mode, and it was very good--go for the Razzle/Triple Berry) and all turned out quite alright. I think we may have had a bad night there, and plan to return to give it a second chance one day. read more

5 stars not because it's fancy-schmancy... That, it's not! But the enthusiastic and upbeat atmosphere, great food, reasonably priced, and excellent service have made this a tradition for us whenever we come to Glacier. Perfect bison burger, cooked just right. I love the "Mountain Baker" baked potato smothered in veggies, olives, and feta with the lemon & olive oil dressing, which sounds weird, but it's terrific. Huge menu for such a tiny place which is, btw, always packed at meal-times. Awesome pies by reputation and my hubby's exclamation. (I'm not much of a pie person.) With such great food, no alcohol is necessary! Oh, and check out the gift shop--it's got all the usual and expected stuff, and quite a bit more. Enjoy! (Looks like there may sometimes be outdoor seating.) read more

Worst pie I've ever had! Seriously! We went there based on recommendations from the Glacier Park group in Facebook - people said the pie was an absolute must have. Maybe it used to be, but not any longer. I wish we had taken pictures, but see the post from Swan L. Our pie was even thinner than that one. Obviously a store-bought crust with 1/4-in of filling at best. Ours was also served cold - not even microwaved. Crust was white with no browning and tasted like it hadn't been baked. My son also ordered a huckleberry milkshake. The shake was warmer than the pie and was barely flavored milk. (If you want a fantastic huck shake, go to Great Gray - that's what a shake should be like!). In the end, we paid $32 for a slice of huck pie; a slide of peach pie (obviously canned filling); one shake, and a cup of mediocre coffee with no refills. Even under COVID conditions, there's no excuse for this. read more

Sadly, the Park Cafe has lost its way. It used to be a must-stop for us, but after today's disappointing pie, I'm afraid we won't be back. Very sad. It used to be a favorite. read more

Avoid. Stopped here in early August because they allowed our dog on the deck with outside seating. The exterior was dilapidated: tall weeds, paint peeling, deck splintering, dirty oil cloth tablecloths with holes and frayed edges. Pancake syrup and Ketchup bottle on table in sun, lid stuck on caked with old, black ketchup residue. Tables and chairs covered with sticky residue. Service was extremely slow with surly wait staff. My full glass of ice tea spilled over table, I mopped it up with table napkins. Wait staff finally appeared and just looked at puddle/pile of wet napkins on table. I asked for towel to clean it up and she dropped a dirty rag on table, turned and went back inside. Cheeseburger eventually arrived covered with black ashes and grease, bun edges were black/burned and meat was burned/dry. Didn't eat it. When standing up to leave, my shorts were stuck to the chair. The back of my shorts were sticky, covered with pieces of paint and dark spots of pancake syrup. Although there aren't many restaurant options in this area, don't eat here. Wish we had stopped at the grocery store instead. read more

Horrible service! Came here yesterday after a day a glacier wanting to have dinner with my family. When we walked in at least 3 of the 7 total tables in the restaurant were dirty or only halfway bused so we had to wait for a table to be cleaned... not big deal... We sat down and ordered our food. All the food came but mine... which was nothing special a hamburger. My niece had to send hers back bc they forgot the bacon on her bacon burger. I figured when the waitress was finished with that she would bring my dinner... nope. The only other time she came back to our table was to drop off the check... didn't even return to the table to see if the rest of my families food was okay. The cooks had all left in the meantime to go out to smoke... when I pointed out that hadn't gotten my dinner she did offer to have the staff make it to go but at that point I just wanted to get the heck out of there. Then we had to tell her 3 different times to take the food that we had not received off the ticket... will never return... do yourself a favor don't make the same mistake we did and avoid this place! read more

Heard great things about this place....but will not eat here again. I think the only reason it is rated high as 4 stars is because the customers are so hungry from hiking in Park and then waiting so long for their food. Very poor customer service...It was extremely hot inside that day and my wife was not feeling to great so we asked to move outside, but we're told this is against policy, so she sat outside and waited on porch. This did not seem a ridiculous request as it was not super busy and the place is like 10 tables? Ordered a hot dog for kids that came burned, bun n all. The Thai burrito sounded great, but had absolutely no flavor. Did not bother with pie after waiting so long for food. Wish it could have been a better dinner after so much fun in the park. Will try Johnson's cafe next time. read more

Very cute place outside of Glacier NP. Nice ambiance and good service. Decent food and yummy desserts!

I have bragged on this hidden gem for years and sent many people this way, No more! New owners! Everything is changed, The menu is no where near what It used to be. Prices are a lot different, ie: UP! Then their is the pie situation, which is the reason for going here, right? Only three kinds of pie versus the MANY varieties they had before. This is NOT a pie cafe any more. And $10 for a piece of huckleberry pie is highway robbery! BEWARE tourists! The food was mediocre, as was the service. I will find a different place to eat next time! read more

If our family of four could give them no stars we would. We were starved from hiking in the park and ordered the burrito, spaghetti & meatballs, and the bison burger. The burrito was awful with everything but the kitchen sink cooked inside with no flavor. The bison burger had fake grill marks like something from a school lunchroom and was on a burnt wheat bun. How anyone could mess up spaghetti is a wonder in it's self but it was terrible. We ate outside because it was too hot inside but needed a complimentary fly strip to hold off the flies. The flies we could handle as it's summer. The horrible tasting food we could not. All four of us agreed it was the worse meal on our 11 day trip. Just don't! read more

best pie in the united states and sooooo many flavors. love it a katrillion times over. they also have creative vegetarian meal options, which can be difficult to find in montana. read more

I get that flies are an issue in region during certain times of year. But, for the love of sanity, do something about them. They were everywhere during our bfast. My French toast was some of the best I have ever had. However the bacon was some of the worst. Completely overdone and it cost $4!! read more

This place is wonderful! It is such a shame that they closed their doors forever this past Friday due to some sort of issue with the owners of the land (apparently they plan on taking over the place). We ate here daily (sometimes twice a day) during a recent week long stay in Glacier National Park. St. Mary, Montana will never be the same again, nor will my annual trips to Glacier. This place will be very much missed. I loved their pies, and their employees were always excellent and interesting. The pies were out of this world! Very sad about the closing. I will not be frequenting the new place. read more

We called in here on our way back from Glacier National Park. It's a small place, which is fine. We didn't want a chain restaurant and we were looking forward to a simple and tasty lunch. The first thing we noticed was that every table needed bussing. Except one, where the cafes only other customer sat. A young guy who worked there, saw us standing and continued talking to the other staff. He eventually came over and was courteous, but when we said we wanted a table but all of them needed to be bussed, he suggested that we sit at the counter. I said no, we wanted a table. and so he cleaned them. This got our impression off to a bad start. I wanted a cold sandwich and fries. The waitress said no problem, they had turkey and ham. I chose turkey. She didn't ask what type of bread I wanted which was odd. I got the turkey sandwich and the bread was a bland white, which was hard on the outside, it was clearly not fresh that day. The contents were sparse and basic. Turkey, cheese, tomato and a bit of lettuce. Very small amounts of each. My wife had a hot sandwich which came advertised with a side salad. It's a good job she asked what the side salad was, because the waitress said there wasn't any. It was chips and salsa instead. My fries were salty and almost impossible to eat. I asked if the coffee was fresh. The waitress said yes. I ordered the coffee and had to send it back, it was cold. but she gave me fresh heated coffee and didnt charge for it. She apologized and said the burner must be not working. But I do have to wonder how it could have been 'fresh' if it had sat long enough to go cold. The whole meal was about $25.00 and not worth it. Worst meal of the trip. read more

Fantastic! Everyone who works here is a hiker, outdoorsy, or just mountain lovin person. They have so many varieties of pie and I tried 4 - yum. The food is really good in general and there is nice outside seating, but small inside so you may have to wait awhile. If there's the blueberry apple pie special, get it! And look for Leoti, the coolest waitress there! Ask her where to hike. read more

The change in management has made some changes to the menu. I went to this cafe twice last summer, and was looking forward to pie and breakfast again. One positive change was the coffee! A MT coffee roaster makes GREAT coffee and quite a few places in the area are serving this great coffee. Breakfast was great, the same multi grain pancakes and menu seemed unchanged. We went back for dinner, and this was disappointing. It was the end of the day, the restaurant had been busy all day, and they were running out of some items. We waited a long time for our order to be taken, and even longer to get food. Granted, we were a group of 6, but food came out at different times, and two dinners were cold by the time they arrived. I had spaghetti and meatballs, meatballs were delicious, but there was very little sauce. And one dinner was forgotten and had to be hastily prepared, it was cold. I hope this is just a matter of the new management getting organized. This cafe was such a treat when traveling around Glacier and needing a break from camp food or over priced fast food. read more

The new Park Cafe is a no go for me, the bison burger was really salty, the kitchen put out so much smoke the whole place was smoke filled and the $8.50 huckleberry pie did not taste like huckleberry at all and they charged another $1.95 for ala mode bringing the price of one slice of pie to $10.45. The meal was expensive, four of us ate for $100.00. I miss the old Park Cafe, so sad to lose such a great restaurant. I will not be back! read more

The Park Cafe used to be a highlight of our trip to Glacier, until 2013 when it started to be under new management. We tried 3 times since then and every time the service was terrible. This last time we were directed to sit at a dirty table, ( a definite no no and gross) then the employees sat at the counter and did mot even attempt to clean the table. A piece of huckleberry pie with icecream was nearly ten bucks. read more

So disappointing. This place used to be incredible. I heard that management changed and it seems to be for the worse. The food, the service, the vibe, even the t-shirts - everything seems to have tanked. Sad. read more

A very solid restaurant all around. I went in for breakfast and got the french toast, an oj and a coffee. Now I know that's not really pushing the boundaries for culinary excellence, but the french toast was good, the coffee was fresh, the oj cold and refreshing and the staff was friendly and attentive. The ambiance... not as great. Just a little sprucing up would do wonders. Oh and I got a slice of pecan pie to-go. I ate it the next morning for breakfast and it was pretty darn good, nothing super gourmet, but a good slice of pie for a place as remote as it is! read more

This is a great food diversion for those who have been dining on camp food or national park food just a little too long. I went here twice, and both times the place was pretty packed. I enjoyed the Heaven's Peak burger I got for dinner and the pie that followed afterwards; the standouts for me, though, were the vegetarian Gypsy Burrito my friend ordered and the Montana Migas I got for breakfast the next day. Splurge for the chorizo, my friends; you will thank yourself later. Great food for the location. read more

Everything there is delicious and pretty cheap. They have tasty beef and buffalo hamburgers. You can ask for medium rare if you like, the meat is really fresh. But the best part is the pies. After discovering the place, we ended up coming every day after our hikes. We tried the strawberry-rhubarb, the razzleberry, the lemon meringue, the raspberry and the peach pies. They were all delicious. At the end of the day, they may run out of the most popular ones, so don't go there too late if you want a specific kind. read more

A - List. Likely The Best Food You Will Find In Very Close Proximity To The Park! Peope come here for the food. It is fresh, tasty, served at the right temperature and, they claim, organic. It is a cute spot with that country charm that you can't find in the big city. This place is usually always busy, with a bit of a wait to get in. You do not want to miss this one on your way to Glacier. read more

Went for Pie... If you are going to have a huge sign advertising pie, it better be damn good. Meh... $6.50 for a small slice of pie that looked butchered? Not worth it. Three of the slices we got were warm on the outside and cold in the middle. I got the chocolate pie and threw it up that night. Can't say anything about the food, but wouldn't recommend it. There's better food in St. Mary. read more

We stopped here 2x this past week on a trip to Glacier Park. Excellent food. Between my wife, son, and myself we had a very interesting salad, fish and chips (salmon... mmmm..... the tartar sauce is made on premises and delicious), excellent coffee, several burgers, and of course "Yay Pie!". Huckleberry/blueberry for my wife and me and banana creme for my son (14 years old). All were excellent. Almost a 5 star, but the service on our 2nd visit was not as good as our first visit. As another reviewer noted, the host is kind of a sourpuss. Our waitress on the first day made up for him, however. read more

I can't attest to the food because we never got any. We waited 45 minutes for a piece of pie and finally walked out. The waiter had a real attitude. I think he asked us 3 times what kind of pie we ordered. It had been recommended to us as a place with great pie and 17 different varieties . They only had about 5 choices. I would not recommend this place. read more

Down home style place w great pie! Not as obvious as the modern rustic looking place at the cross roads. Great service. Best waiter we've had in years. Looks like this is a favorite local hang out. Likely we'll be back. read more

We were so disappointed to hear that the Park Cafe changed hands and isn't as good as it used to be. BUT...the GOOD NEWS is...we found out the former managers are STILL MAKING PIES!!!!!! Just in a different location! You can find their delicious pies at Two Medicine Grill and the Rock'n Roll Bakery in East Glacier Park, MT. You can also get one of their equally famous "Pie for Strength" T-shirts at Old Goat in East Glacier. We are very happy campers! read more

Worst disappointment of our trip to Glacier in July. Lonely Planet raved about their pie and called it a must-do, so we stopped in. Couldn't get menus from the waitress, had to ask for the table to be wiped, then for silverware, They only had 2 kinds of pier and they cost $8.50 - EIGHT-FIFTY - a slice!!! The crust was like cardboard and the filling very ordinary. A complete rip-off; maybe because of the LP review they don't have to try. This place might be OK for a hearty breakfast - the other patrons' portions looked big - but don't make a special point, and DON'T ORDER THE PIE! read more

How can you not stop at a place where "Pie For Strenght" is their motto. There are some seriously good homemade pies here. I also love the local, non corporate atmosphere. You should eat here rather than at one of the restaurants in the park. Even if you are not hungry, you must stop here for pie, take it to go. You wont be disappointed. read more

This was a nice little cafe. Food came out nice and quick and was very good! Fries are very good, as well as the pie! Great service too! Great place to stop if you're coming out from Glacier National Park! read more

Just finished paying $21 for the worst meal I've had in a week, I ordered the fish and chips with an iced tea. The tea had no taste. Maybe because they only used one tea bag per one gallon of water. The ketchup on the table looked old and soured. I opened the bottle and found old and hard ketchup on the rim. The meal arrived and consisted of 3 over cooked commerical grade frozen breaded fish filets. You know, the kind you buy from the grocery store. The fish was over cooked. The more I ate the less I wanted to get sick from tainted food. I left most of the meal on the plate. As you can see I wouldn't recommend this cafe to anyone! read more

Took forever to have someone wait on us. Way overpriced. Guacamole was 3$ for a tiny cup. Food not very good.
