Updating from a 2015 review. We noted how much we loved the atmosphere in the 10 years...well now…read moreit's been 20 years that we make a point to dine here, specifically on our anniversary. It's where we dined on our honeymoon and we'll be coming back for years to come. We stopped in a couple of times on this trip. The good - The smokehouse food is just what it should be! I mean, we really love this food. The first Cherry Old Fashioned. Made with care and good ingredients. The Meh - The service on Taco Tuesday. It felt understaffed and the server commented, "at least I'm not alone tonight". Very telling The Bad - The second Cherry Old Fashioned on a different night. Not good. It was Taco Tuesday and the Smokehouse felt understaffed. The drinks were just slammed together.

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. I really wanted to like this place it's a great location and fun drive, the patio was beautiful, great beer selection and the service was excellent. 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.

The chips were chips, they didn't make them, it was nice that they were included. I got waffle fries. They were good, thick and cooked through. I was hoping for a bit of a crunch but they were a good flavor. My disappointment was with the Watermelon Wave. It said a watermelon Italian soda with layers of cream and whipped cream. I got the soda but there was no cream or whipped cream layering for the delightful experience. I entered the problem through the DoorDash app, but did not hear anything back. I might go in to check the place out and try the veggie sandwich (Billy Bones). Seems like the only vegetarian option on a very large menu.

I've become a regular at The Shoe, and it continues to impress me every time I visit. My go-to…read moreorder is the grilled salmon, and the risotto that accompanies it deserves special recognition. It's flavorful and complements the fish perfectly. It's one of those side dishes that could easily stand on its own. Another favorite is the coconut shrimp. Sometimes I order it as an appetizer, and other times I make it my entire meal because it's that good. Crispy, flavorful, and consistently well prepared the marmalade dipping sauce makes it so delightful. I appreciate that The Shoe embraces its Montana roots with farm-to-table bison burgers and steaks. It's a great way for locals and visitors alike to experience something uniquely Montana while enjoying a quality meal. Oh, and western fanatics definitely check out the 'Lonesome Dove' decor! It's so fun and done with taste, I love the horseshoe chandeliers too! What really stands out, though, is the service. The servers are always friendly, attentive, and genuinely seem to care about creating a great experience. The restaurant is busy nearly every time I'm there, which says a lot in itself, yet the staff handles the crowds with professionalism and efficiency. I noticed some older reviews mentioning wait times, but those seem outdated. The most recent of those was many months ago, and from what I've experienced, it looks like they've built a strong team that consistently delivers both excellent food and excellent service. If you're in Polson and looking for a restaurant with great food, friendly staff, and a true Montana feel with an epic view of Flathead Lake, The Shoe is absolutely worth a visit.

She didn't mention happy hour so we missed that by 5-10 minutes - and acted like we should have known (3 pm to 6 pm, c'mon!).

Asked for our waitress. Took her another 15 to wander over. Ended up getting 25 percent off. That was also the last time we saw her except when she dropped a box on the table (forget about water refills). Food wasn't bad. Also wasn't good - and with no way to keep the pizza warm that cheese congealed fast. The service was as described.

Pops Grill had over 4 stars on google and the pictures of the food looked good. So with excitement and high expectations we went for lunch. Bad decision. My daughter and I had cheese burgers and our buns were charred to the point of being burned on the underside but actually cold on the top sides. Our fries were cold and limp. The melted cheese on the burgers look like it had melted on the day before. My wife had the French toast. It looked like it had been deep fried, again looked like food from the previous day. Not the soft and lightly browned French toast at most other places. Bottom line food was terrible and will never go back again. Darn, had hoped of finding a decent place to eat locally. Will keep searching.
