Snow Goose Grille is a nice, clean place attached to the St Mary Lodge that sits at entrance to Glacier National Park. We stopped in after an exhausting day of hiking for replenishing and were well pleased! The bar area had semi big screen tv for Monday Night Football and same menu as restaurant. We both enjoyed the food and drink. I had burger and my wife had a tasty chicken sandwich. St Mary is not the middle of nowhere but you can see it from there. This time of season we counted ourselves lucky to have found this grille! read more

Stopped in for lunch. Very nice place and service was quick. The chicken sandwich was thin chicken and dry. Went a different night for a cocktail and dessert and the dessert was good. Nothing crazy special but good. read more

Bison chili was really good, but service was terrible. Our server Brandon from West Virginia was not professional or helpful at all. We had to ask for items multiple times. We were visiting from out of town and had heard good things about this restaurant. The other items we ordered were just okay but nothing special. On a positive note, we were seated and served quickly and the young lady in the gift was very nice and professional. read more

Very pricey food with limited vegetarian options. We ordered a bunch of stuff and the food was just tasteless. With the limited options for meals, it becomes challenging finding food which is why such places dont try to improve. read more

Nice place with friendly, attentive service. Don't order the fish. The dinner menu sounded incredibly tempting--I had the "steelhead trout with beurre blanc, risotto, and glazed carrots" for $30--but the dish was really disappointing. Maybe 4oz of overcooked fish with plain melted butter and a lump of risotto. It was kind of like the guy who wrote the menu and the guy who cooked it never met each other. In retrospect, I should have sent it back. On the other hand, my husband had the bison stroganoff and it was really good--tender meat, flavorful sauce. A little too gloopy to pass muster at a French restaurant but it was delicious. I'd stay away from the fish and stick to classics here. They also do a more low key breakfast and lunch which is totally fine (burgers, breakfast burritos, etc,). read more

Since our choices for dinner were extremely limited, we chose this venue as it looked very nice. Our waitress Andreea was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. Her service was impeccable. The restaurant was clean and the food was satisfactory. We ordered salads as they were not as expensive as other menu items. Our meals were not special or remarkable. We expected them to be since our bill was $31 for a Chicken Caesar Salad and Chicken Cobb Salad. Andreea did ask the chef to heat the chicken for the Caesar salad, and it WAS warm. But the chicken on both salads tasted prepackaged - not fresh. The lettuce in the Cobb was mixed Spring greens - I expected bib, iceberg, romaine or a mix of all greens - not just a spring mix. On the Cobb, I tried the Huckleberry vinaigrette as well as the honey mustard. Both were good. The dressings were memorable, as was Andreea. read more

Snowgoose Grille - Restaurant is inside. - American Near Me - Saint Mary, Montana

Fast service. Delicious salad and chicken salad sandwich. Crispy fries. Try the huckleberry vinaigrette!

Fine dining at a reasonable price. The server ,Ellie, was excellent. The food was excellent across the menu. We had 8 and were pleased with our varied sellections. read more

The restaurant located inside the St. Mary lodge. It offer the some view. But most of the snow mountain view is block by tree. The restaurant has two story height ceiling. It make the open space of the dining room. We were here for lunch. Their lunch is reasonable. I have the Elk Sausage Link (Elk Brat Po'Boy). This sausage is from Elk meat and mixture of spice. This is a local product. I would said if you are here try some elk, deer or bison dish. The sausage is good taste. Although this is my first on this game meat, it give me a good experience. The service is good. Food came out at right time. The restaurant is actually busy because not many restaurants in this area. They have extensive menu for the game meat if you like to adventure the new items. Be brave and concur. read more

Snowgoose Grille - Elk Brat Po'Boy - American Near Me - Saint Mary, Montana

We stopped here as many others do after visiting Glacier NP - it's pretty much the only choice after exiting the park at Saint Mary. We both had the chicken salad, mine with the wrap and my wife without. It was OK - chicken salad is not a difficult dish to make. However WAY overpriced - it was $35 w/o tip for the two of us, no drinks. The lunch menu is pretty limited, so not a lot of choice. The service was very nice. If you're hungry after Glacier, just don't expect much at Snowgoose. read more

We were famished! I took my 85 yo father to this place after sightseeing/driving through Going -To-The-Sun -Road in National Park since 6am. We stopped at Logan Pass Visitor Center which had info for tourist where to go to eat. So we chose to eat at St Mary's at this place. We arrived around 130pm, we saw signs that said kitchen was overwhelmed, so the restaurant would be closing for the afternoon. We saw the maitre d', Camille who stated she had a list of people she needed to seat, referred us to another restaurant 20 miles away. I asked if she knew if the restaurant she was sending us to was still open. She said to look it up on the internet. We had no cell reception (it's the mountains), so we couldn't look it up. She had to have known that. We just hung around a little more, used the restroom and noticed a group of 6 white people after us asked to be placed on the waiting list. I saw Camille placed their name on the list and got very irate. I confronted her and she denied she placed them on the list. So curiosity got a hold of me, something told me to wait and just see what she was going to do. Some of the people who were already on the list were a no show, and I heard her verify with that group after us "a party of six"? She then had to seat us as well. She was very unprofessional berated us to her coworkers. We were surprised we ended up getting hamburgers we ordered on the house. But, while trying to get our servers attention for the bill, a blond worker guy with ponytail was prepping utensils just kept staring at us, rudely. He looked like he was looking to start a commotion. The restaurant was practically empty. Not a great impression, rude workers, apathetic workers, our server , blond gal with long hair kept rolling her eyes. Would not go there if you're a person of color. Agree with others here, subpar food, overpriced and the current workers acted like it was too busy , while it was practically empty. Now I know to pack an icebox next time I'm going to Glacier National Park. read more

For starters, this place is ridiculously overpriced for the service and quality of food. We brought our family of seven here after a long day in Waterton Park and what a disappointment! Salads were large, but my 17-year-old daughter found a hair in her salad. I got the special of the day, bison stew, which was just MEH. We had to ask for bread, and the first I asked person replied, "you'll have to ask your server" and just walked away. So I asked someone else, and what they brought out looked like day-old rolls from the St. Mary Supermarket across the parking lot which had been warmed up in the microwave. Keep moving, folks, and don't waste your valuable time or money here when there are so many other quaint options. Subpar food and service for high resort price. Do. Not. Recommend. read more

This is a lovely resort owned restaurant serves local food with great quality. I would say go try their taste of Montana pre-fixed menu! It has a great value. The freshness of the food is good. And service is just perfect! Food is brought up very quick and we do feel warm and welcomed from this restaurant. read more

We visited Snowgoose once for lunch and once for breakfast during our time at Many Glacier/St Mary's/East Glacier - and the overall experience was very good. The service was prompt, the staff was attentive, and the food quality was very good. I am giving it 5 stars to make up for other reviews who unfairly review a business because they themselves didn't do any research. Running a small business in a rural area is more logistically intensive than in a large, urban supply hub. Things cost more. Adam Smith called it market economics. So do your research and be fair to small businesses. That being said, the burgers we had for lunch were cooked to order and their fries are pretty good. The breakfast burrito is huge (which you'd expect for a premium price) and I was very happy with my eggs and bacon (and potatoes and slice of toast). There are not a ton of choices in St Mary's, so do your due diligence and pick according to your preferences. Snowgoose delivers quality service and food at a fair price point. read more

After visiting Glacier National Park, we decided to drive around and passed through St. Mary's, MT. Luck was with us, sat down an ordered the sausage, cheese and fruit plate for two. This plate was enough for two people and the sausage was excellent and was the pairing of the crackers. Highly recommend this plate. read more

Service is stellar. Ambiance is breathtaking. Food: ordered the pork tenderloin with wine reduction sauce however... it was not a tenderloin, my guess based on the large portion of fat and gristle is that it was a pork chop. No one said anything about the substitution. read more

Good location if you are staying on the east side of the park. We ate breakfast here before heading in to the park for the day. Scrambled eggs were like they were cooked first thing in the morning and just kept warm (rubbery). Staff was pleasant and the view is nice. read more

A good place to eat after driving and hiking. We stayed at the St Mary's lodge and the restaurant was part of the lodge. Friendly servers and good views. We ate the garden salad with huckleberry dressing, chicken wrap & white bean and mushroom burger. Everything was delicious & refreshing. When in Montana, enjoy everything huckleberry! read more

We had a lot of difficulty finding a place for breakfast after leaving the Many Glacier hotel. Having pulled into three parking lots earlier in the day of places that were listed on Yelp (but all being closed or out of business during our visit), we finally found breakfast here. We opted for the Eggs Your Way option. Simple enough - two eggs, veggie sausage as an option, potatoes, toast and a side of coffee. That worked. The breakfast menu was modest. A decent option (and maybe your only breakfast option) in the area. read more

After reading the reviews, I was a bit hesitant on this place, especially with the dated decor, but I was surprised at the food. My husband and I ordered the baked Brie, the charcuterie plate and the wings. I also had a bowl of the potato leek soup and we ordered buttered noodles for the kids. The noodles were not anything special, but they were decent. The potato soup needed salt, but otherwise, very tasty. The wings (Parm garlic) had great flavor, but we like our wings more on the crispy side. There were soft. The baked Brie was very tasty and the presentation was well done. Nice to have some berries and honey on the plate. The charcuterie plate was a lap delicious. The honeycomb was a nice delicious morsel and the huckleberry jam with rosemary was delectable. The pickled onion was stellar and the whole grain mustard was perfect. Order the charcuterie plate, you won't go wrong! read more

There are only a few dining options on the east side of Glacier, and this one is a great option. We got there after the usual diner crowd, and our service was quick, polite and attentive. We got the steelhead trout special and deviled egg appetizer special, which were both very good and well above our expectations. Prices are steep, but it's a fine-dining restaurant right outside the National Park in a secluded area of Montana. Potential patrons should anticipate and do some research ahead of time instead of complaining about the price when they get here. Worth it in our opinion. read more

Was visiting Glacier National Park. Stopped by at this place for lunch. Ordered pulled pork sandwich. Apparently pork was fried in its own fat to the point that it was hard to even chew. And it was super greesy, so much so that the bottom half of the bun was completely soaked. read more

Two things come to mind when I hear the word "goose." 1) Loud 2) Annoying So you couldn't have chosen a more appropriate "spirit animal" to represent your rather mediocre restaurant. But in your case, our experience encapsulated this devil bird's flaws except it was covered in heavy, wet, dense "snow." Allow me to explain... 1) I am as open-minded and culturally sensitive as they come, but when your waiters and waitresses can't answer simple questions about your menu (or know the names of everyday vegetables for that matter), their responses can sound like a "loud" cacophony of honking similar to your beloved snow goose. When I asked your thick-accented, foreign waiter, Marian, what the vegetable of the day was, he proceeded to tell me "cornflower." Naturally a bit perturbed, I asked "what is that?" Considering your menu is stamped with an array of codes, I thought that it was either a "regional" or "Made in Montana" delicacy a city slicker like me hadn't tried yet. His description was "it is kind like broccoli but it is white." The lightbulb went off... He meant cauliflower. But the most surprising part of my meal wasn't that he couldn't pronounce or know the proper name of cauliflower, but that he doesn't really know what cauliflower is at all. Instead of cauliflower, I got the reject of the veggie world - beets. As soon as I got my plate, I wanted to "beat" silly Marian because I highly dislike these blasted, bitter roots. If I would have known of my sad, side veggie fate, I would have swapped these tough, cringe-worthy bits of blah for something more appealing like asparagus or actual cauliflower (and I don't even like cauliflower), which should tell you how much I despise beats. Now, I have to ask... Was this intentional? Did you tell your waiter to trick your guests into thinking they're getting a somewhat decent vegetable when, in fact, you dump one of the worst vegetables on the planet on their plates just to get rid of an overabundant supply you received from a bad trade post deal with the local Black Foot Indians? That's the only explanation for this egregious, egregious error... 2) There's nothing more "annoying" than food not coming out together. Granted our party was on the large side, but we even forewarned you at check-in to expect a big group. Our dinners all arrived at our table in different intervals. Some of us would start to "peck" at our food while the others waited for their entrees. The guilt factor would set in, so then the "pecking" would cease causing the "early bird" entrees to become as cold as wet, slushy snow. My mashed potato heap got so hard and frigid, it could have been mistaken for a glacier. If you're trying to recreate some type of snow goose habitat for us with this staggered food arrival, you can just stop - like yesterday - because my family and I were simply not amused. And the worst part of it was the baby received his meal dead-last when he should have received it first! You can't tell me it takes longer to cook chicken tenders than it does a steak or even hamburger - unless, of course, you forgot to put in his order in the first place... When I saw you have three Yelp stars, I wasn't surprised. Your restaurant isn't terrible but it's not great. I mean even the most "annoying and loud" creatures like geese have a couple redeeming qualities... 1) Pretty - your entree presentation was very impressive and definitely above average. 2) Variety - like the different geese breeds, you offer a nice, balanced variety of local fare and American classics. Overall, everyone in our party enjoyed their meals. Like anything, you have to take the good with the bad and I live by that motto every day. But, in your case, I'd like to see less "bad" the next time I visit your restaurant. read more

I echo Gregory B. Just get the bison quesadilla don't mess with anything else. Well worth the price. Very very good quesadilla

Service was very good. Menu was okay. Quality of food was bad. Way too crowded with bus tourists. Salads were large portions. Nice ambiance. My biggest issue here was with the quality of the food. The salads our group ordered were okay, the appetizers used a lot of cheap ingredients, the sides were very dry and flavorless, and worst of all, all the meat was severely overcooked. The very kind waiter said all meals had to be cooked medium well or above. Made for very dried out fish and hockey puck type burgers. Have a drink here and enjoy the ambiance...then go to any of the other restaurants in the area. Try the cafe up the road, north towards Babb. read more

A typically average restaurant, with average food. The mixed drinks were very light on alcohol content. Very small! The dinner was good, but nothing to write home about. Nothing really stood out. Well, my daughters thought the chicken balls were excellent, but that can't possibly make a restaurant special! Make no mistake about it, the food is good. It's just lacking something and I can't quite put my finger on it. It wasn't the staff! Our waitress was really good. And she got a pretty complicated order spot on correct. read more

Good menu, comfortable surroundings, good drink list, good service, gorgeous views. We had a very pleasant evening I had the trout - recommended by an employee - and it was tasty. I was pleased, and I am really picky about fish. I don't remember what everyone else got, but no one was disappointed. Really surprised by the quality given that it is a "hotel" restaurant and they have a captive audience Many wines by the glass and some good cocktails. Probably your best bet on the East side of Glacier for a "traditional" dinner. If you want a steak, go to the Cattle Baron in Babb, though it is not as good as this place in most other respects. Recommended! read more

Let me start by reminding folks that we are in St. Mary's, MT. And the compound is pretty impressive from the exterior, since I'm pretty sure the restaurant, lounge, hotel and supermarket are all owned by the same folks. Secondly, based on the Yelp reviews for the area, it seemed to have the most consistently mediocre reviews of them all. So, what the heck? Dinner at the Snowgoose Grill it is. Cameron was new to this waitering gig, and his fellow restauranteurs made sure to check in on us frequently to see that we had been attended to properly. Don't ask about the wine list...it's not his thing. Questions about chicken bruschetta? They went over it but he can't remember (it's just not the actual bruschetta...just "a garnish" if you're wondering. I didn't order it). I'll give him dessert though. While the apple huckleberry crisp was way too sweet and way too soupy, it did taste good with some sweet peaks huckleberry ice cream. Despite the sarcasm, the food filled you up and tasted pretty good, especially after a long day in the park. So...if you want some awesome subjects for your own self-made comedy skit, it was well worth it. read more

Being connected to a "lodge" and "resort" I really had a lot of hope for this place, and I assumed the prices would reflect the quality. But man, the food and service was offensive. First off, the waitress scoffed any requests in our direction and seemed as if she didn't feel like serving/us. At $30, I thought the beef stroganoff would be delicious and of sizable portion, but it was neither. It barely had any sauce and maybe a few pieces of meat. Trust me when I tell you, you can make this better at home. On to the $20 burger: the only redeeming factor was the sauce that disguised the burnt taste. It was definately not half a pound as described, a quater pounder at mcdonalds would eclipse this. The fries were all burnt, most of it was thrown away. The Cole slaw didn't even have dressing on it; I was served shredded lettuce. This was thrown away as well. Listen, I really don't mean to rag on this place and being right outside of a national park...no one should be picky with food. But anyone who is spending $20-$30 on a plate in a place that appears as fine dining, should expect the quality and service that's rendered. I highly advise anyone seeking food to explore the other options across the street...or maybe even drive the extra 30 minutes to Browning. read more

Good service and good food. Nice view by the window. The grill mark makes steak bitter and portion is small. read more

I'm appalled that this place only has 3 stars. Given the limited choices in St. Mary, this place could very easily take the lazy foodservice route and offer "Applebee's" quality fare. Instead, they ya locally sourced ingredients to create very tasty meals. The breakfast is solid. I recommend the biscuits and gravy. The specialty cocktails are great. They often use local distilled spirits. The draft beers are mostly local craft beer. But the food.. man... it's great - sincerely great. I travel for a living and the amount of terrible food I have to eat on business trips has me hyper sensitive to "hotel food." This place could easily offer crappy food because, wel, guests have little choice. Instead, their menu is thoughtfully prepared with great ingredients. read more

Its ok Views are beautiful but they serve small amount of veggies for main plates. My kids nuggets were over cooked read more

I would give this zero stars if I could. The customer service was beyond terrible. The minute we walked in the server rolled her eyes at us. The manager was standing next to her the whole time. She had the same rude attitude the whole time. The food is not worth it and low quality. They were out of half the menu. Save your money and go somewhere else!! Worst service!!!! read more

Food not tasty , bland. Great views though and nice staff. Don't come for lunch maybe dinner is better

Pretty expensive but delicious. The secret is the BISON QUESADILLA. Only $16 for a BIG plate of food. The Mac n Cheese was also divine. Highly recommend. read more

Don't waste your time and money here. At first glance, I thought the prices were a bit high, but not entirely unreasonable for a good meal, and the menu offers a nice selection. The service was a bit slow and disorganized, but friendly enough. However, when our meals came, each person in our group found ourselves wishing we had settled for the sandwich shop that is attached to the convenience store. The trout was thin and muddy tasting, and it was thrown skin-down on top so the rice and two pitiful sprigs of broccolini tasted fishy. The bison stroganoff was on par with Hamburger Helper, and I don't have the words to describe the bitter bowl of greasy slop that was the cauliflower and cheddar soup. After riding through heavy rain and kidney-rattling construction, we all agreed that Snowgoose Grille stood out as the worst part of our day. read more

We ate many meals here while staying at the St. Mary's Lodge. Dinner, Breakfast, , Breakfast and Lunch over the course of our four day stay. Food was fine. Nothing terribly exciting, but fine. Considering the food at most of the places in this area, this was pretty good. There were about 35 of us in our group, so it is safe to say we had most things on the menu. Breakfast was especially good. All the usual components and options of a typical breakfast- eggs, french toast, crunchy french toast, waffles, pancakes and more. We tried everything huckleberry we could-- pretty good, but tasted like other berries. Service was great! We had the EXACT same people waiting on us for ALL of our meals here! Not sure if we just meshed with their schedules or they were the only staff of the restaurant or they purposefully assign the same people to you. Regardless, she was very nice and on pointe. Offered all kinds of tips on places to visit and what to see. It seems most workers in the area are tourists who found a way to make money and visit Glacier Park on their off days. I would definitely eat here again. read more

Ate here three nights in a row while at Glacier in summer 2021. Service was great and food was decent for the area. They spaced out patrons which was nice. Unfortunately, for my third meal, I found a hair in my bleu cheese and a tiny bug in my water, hence removing a star. read more

This is for the lounge, not the restaurant. Our first meal this side of the park during a 3 day at St mary's. The lounge menu was smaller but they can prepare food from the main dining area. Plenty of good beers and quite an extensive wine selection. Service was great considering there were only two servers in a full lounge with multiple very tired and ornery children. I had the hazelnut mushroom veggie burger. It was actually very good. Large and filling with a generous portion of fries. Beers came out quick and cold. It is a little pricey, but there's not many options this side of the park. read more

We stopped in for breakfast. The place was HUGE! Definitely set up for bus-fulls of ppl. So we were super disappointed when the place was basically empty and our food still took 45 minutes. None of us got anyhting complicated. They apologized, saying a 9-top table ordered just before us. But considering they had room for another 40 tables, I'm not sure why that was a good excuse. Server was nice. -Breakfast tostada: big w flavorful chorizo, crispy potato chunks: food quite tasty read more
