    Chicken sandwich with Brie cheese and bacon
    Joey C.

    Came in from out of town and this was the best food I had in all of Montana. Highlights from our meal was the grilled chicken sandwich and the huckleberry and Brie cheese salad. Simple food done really well Service was great the entire time all the staff members were incredibly friendly and if you have a nice day I highly recommend sitting outside to enjoy the patio with the creek going behind it. Great stop after a day on the lake

    Staff are very friendly and the ambiance is what you'd expect from a lively brewery restaurant. The food was very tasty, burgers & bison. Cooked to perfection and some great flavors. Went the IPA route and enjoyed the beers. Tasted the cider for fun and it was crisp, without too much sweetness. This place was packed, so be prepared to wait. Only downside, it's very loud inside.

    Cheese pizza

    The food is excellent. We've eaten here three times in the past week!! Best Gluten Free menu I've seen. We got the Garden City pizza and the Shroom and Swiss burgers. The Pizza is all thin crust and loaded with all the toppings - SO good. The staff is kind and helpful and the service was excellent. The GM was greeting people on a busy Friday night I loved the hustle and bustle - and the warm and cozy ambiance! Felt like a step back in time in the best way!

    Tamarack Alehouse is an ideal creekside restaurant in Flathead Lake area. Roadtrip from Glacier National Park, MT to Spokane, WA - recommended by another traveler from a previous stop. Signage is almost non-existent so follow the map on your phone because you won't see it until you've passed it. Ambiance is 5/5- great industrial mountain aesthetic with indoor seating by the fireplace and lovely outdoor patio under shade trees situated creekside. Service is 5/5 - server was friendly and gave us great suggestions. She was busy but made time for us and we didn't feel rushed at all. Food is 5/5 - great roadtrip stop and we'd recommend if you're staying in the lakeside area. Beers on tap are really good and I had a Huckleberry Blonde that was very refreshing. Happy Hour Ribs and Fries are the star of our dining experience!! Phenomenal Stout BBQ sauce and the ribs were perfectly cooked and falling off the bone. We'd order whole rack next time so we'd have leftovers. Portions are huge and we saw a lot of half-order nachos being served and the order filled a very large platter. The whole order must be enormous! Tamarack was a great recommendation and we look forward to our next roadtrip!

    Food Travel in Montana Save for your next trip!!! Tamarack Brewing Company has been brewing great craft beer for the past 17 years. This brewery and pub house is near beautiful Flathead Lake and it's definitely worth a visit! If you have a chance, sit on the patio. One of my new favorites when visiting Montana. They have rotating seasonal taps, which are quite good. Not sure which to try? Get their beer flight. The Mission Mountain Rib Eye was perfectly cooked!! It came with their house made chimichurri sauce. Their Brew Kettle Ribs were fall off the bone tender and had a tasty stout bbq sauce. Wonderful customer service from India! The only thing I would mention are the yellow jackets flying around the patio area. They can be quite annoying while you're eating.

    My husband and I stopped here for lunch after driving around Flathead Lake. We got the flagship sampler which included generous pours of seven beers - none of them stood out individually to us; if I were to choose, the oatmeal stout was our favorite but everything else was solid. For lunch, we got a cup of their daily soup (a Kimchi beef stew which was delicious), a Spinach salad and the huckleberry salmon plate (this was tasty but came with seasonal veggies and mashed potatoes which were the same color so overall not a very colorful/aesthetically pleasing plate - could use some garnish). The food was very tasty and honestly better than I would expect at a brewpub. Our server was super friendly and attentive and overall it was a nice atmosphere - there was outdoor seating with some fire pits going on outside. Good spot to stop for lunch!

    Gluten-free menu

    We've heard so many great things about this restaurant. It's kind of tucked away right beside a creek. I am gluten-free so I was checking the menu on yelp but didn't see much but we were excited to try it anyway. We sat outside and once I started looking over the menu and asked our server (who was wonderful from start to finish) about possibly gluten-free bread, she brought me the whole GLUTEN FREE MENU! I had the pub bread wrapped steak and grilled vegetables and it was absolutely delicious. The huckleberry vinaigrette for my salad was really good too. Of course their hamburger and french fries (not gluten-free) looked delicious as well .

    Having gone back and read my initial review, I had more knowledge, so my expectations were better set. The food here is OUT OF THIS WORLD good! The service was perfectly balanced and the ambiance is just GREAT, making one want to just hang out there all day (or night). Loved it! Not inexpensive, but worth the money.

    Garlic Bleu Cheese fries

    We did a day long excursion around Flathead Lake and down to the Bison Preserve just South of that. On the way back we stopped in Tamarack Alehouse for a bite and some beers. We didn't see much on the menu that appealed to us at the time so we just opted for the garlic and bleu cheese fries and two delicious pints of IPA. One was so delicious we grabbed a crowler to take back to our room for later! Service was good and it was a nice, clean larger place than we expected.

    Quality of food has gone down considerably last few months. Not just one time but during multiple visits.

    Brian Ashley and Lauren just made me have the best 250th birthday for American history I've ever…read morehad in American history. These three need to go down an American history. Absolute legends if you have the pleasure of coming to the sitting deck do yourself a favor and get yourself a beer. happy 4th the the sotting duck crew.

    If you're looking for a great meal with one of the best lakefront views in Montana, stop reading…read morereviews and just go to The Sitting Duck. We had an absolutely fantastic experience. The food was incredible from start to finish, and the service was even better. Bella was our waitress and was thoughtful, attentive, efficient, and checked on us frequently without ever being intrusive. Riley was also wonderful--bringing drinks, checking on our table, and making sure we had everything we needed. Behind the bar, Drew had fantastic recommendations and helped us discover some great drinks. They made my daughter's 10th birthday super special!!! Speaking of drinks- don't miss the fun cocktail that comes with a rubber duck. They also have an excellent wine list and a great beer selection. What really stood out was how friendly the entire staff was. We visited with our two children and our two Golden Retrievers, and everyone made us feel welcome. While we waited for our food, the kids had a blast playing by the lakeshore, throwing rocks, and enjoying the beautiful setting. As for the occasional negative reviews--this is a very popular lakefront restaurant, and during peak times it gets busy. That's part of dining at one of the most sought-after spots in Bigfork. Relax, enjoy the view, order a drink, and soak in the experience. Great food, amazing staff, beautiful location, dog-friendly, family-friendly, and worth every minute. We will absolutely be back.
