I ordered to go through Door Dash and got a cove cheesesteak and a watermelon wave. I know that the prices are a bit higher, but I felt that the sandwich was a bit small for the cost even with the small bag of chips it included. The sandwich was good, not great. It was ok. 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. read more

They need more staff. Waited too long for someone to take our order. No one in the back would even acknowledge we were waiting to have our order taken. The pulled pork sand was dry. The salad had a hair in it and was refunded. The young man was polite when I gave him the hair but pretty much threw the refund on the table and ran. Hair nets are a good idea. The young lady who made the ice cream cone was smiling and polite so she gets the 2 stars everything else really needs improving. There were 2 ladies eating a pizza one gentleman eating tacos and the 2 of us in the restaurant. I was disappointed. I hope it improves. Ill wait for better reviews before I go back. read more

Food was great. Got a pizza, fries and wings. They lose a star because it was just simply not clean. Tables were filthy, window next to the booth had never been cleaned, food all along the bottom. It was a shame bc the food was good read more

We call in and order pizza often in the summer and it's always a hit! They are so friendly taking orders and they have it ready on time. Our favorite is the white based pizza that was newer this summer - ordered it again and again! Love supporting a local business especially when it's been such a great experience. Will be back! read more

A traditional ice cream parlor to turn to on a hot day. The establishment also features a small arcade with claw games. Would return! read more

The Cove Deli and Pizza - Ice cream menu - Delis Near Me - Polson, Montana

The sandwiches are the star here. I love getting sandwiches from here when they are made correctly. I have had sandwiches that have had little to no meat once or twice. Most of the time my sammie is spot on and the pirate sauce is great! Most talk about pizza but the pizza is just ok. The nachos aren't anything special, but they are filling. The ice cream is good! So this is a one stop shop if you are in polson. The staff tends to get overwhelmed. But they are kind and the place is cute especially for families. ***If you ever call in an order and the phone is busy go down there they have removed the phone due to being overwhelmed. Order and take it to go. read more

The Cove Deli and Pizza - Nachos - Delis Near Me - Polson, Montana

We stopped and had lunch here. It's an old school deli. Wonderful food and good service. We since have been back several times and everything always good. Highly recommend this deli. read more

This was a tough review. I really dislike giving bad reviews. I was driving through town and needed to stop to feed the family and didn't take the time to read reviews. The greeting was terrible from the young man working. Just, what can I get you? The tables were uncleared around us for the duration of our visit. Three tables total. The pizza dough was the part that down graded the meal. The crust tasted like elementary school pizza squares. That probably dates me, but it's true. read more

The Cove Deli and Pizza - Chicken Caesar Wrap with Avocado - Delis Near Me - Polson, Montana

Pizza was great. We had a 16" Meat Lover and a 12" Cheese. They had plenty of toppings and lots of cheese. Sauce was tasty and the pies were well cooked. We ordered online and it was ready exactly when they said it would be. Solid place for takeout. read more

Delicious sandwiches and great location next to a park. Perfect picnic set-up. I understand that most places are short staffed but if there's an hour wait - being notified at time of ordering would be appreciated. While waiting one worker was walking around commenting that we are going to be here a while. Not sure her role but she wasn't helpful in assuring us or appreciating our patience. The customers were all understanding though, sounded like a lot of locals. read more

if i could rate this 0 stars i would. this place has gone so downhill within the past couple of years. it's very uncleanly. there was dried up food in windowsill and in seats. i overheard a girl complain about not wanting to sit in a booth because it was so dirty. the service was poor and we weren't acknowledged when we walked in. they forgot to put in one of our orders, and put it in once we got the rest of our food so one of the people in our group had to wait and ended up not eating. when we got ice cream, the area was absolutely disgusting! there was a milkshake cup that had ice cream dripping from it onto the counter from earlier, there was absolutely no sanitation. everyone had long hair and no hair nets, no washing of hands. nothing was being wiped down. the sanitation cup of the ice cream scoops was filthy and creamy looking. we are all at home now with gurgles and cramps and will not be going back! read more

We stayed in Polson for a few days for a summer vacation and we loved this spot. My husband who tends to be a very picky eater (and my kids) loved their pizza and sandwiches. I got the fish tacos. So good that we came back the next day and ordered the same things. If you have kids, the arcade type games they have in there will keep them entertained for a bit. Right next door, they have a connecting ice cream shop that serve ice cream, and I especially love their huckleberry ice cream. The owner was friendly and lovely, gave us some advice on what to check out around town. read more

Wrong order made. We requested a 16 inch pizza and received an 8 inch pizza instead. Apparently if they took food handlers they don't use it. Cooks playing with phones on the food line. Long hair with no hair bets. Very poor food handling skills. Cross catamination. No washing hands as I saw them making my food. They kept playing with their hair and phones. As they touch my food order. Recommend better training. Since food bourn illness is the number 1 killer... as a prprer cook my self. I disagree with their training. For this is why people get sick eating here read more

A very nice restaurant and gathering place for the community. Food is typical, pizza is great and atmosphere is nice and friendly. Great local place, nothing fancy but clean and predictable. read more

Kindness, coincidence, and a really tasty sandwich... I got all of these on Sunday and in spades. I was in a rush to get to the airport in Missoula from Whitefish to catch my flight back home to the Bay. Running low, I stopped to get fuel in Polson on Flathead Lake. For some reason, the fuel filler door wouldn't open nor could I pry the door open manually. I called roadside assistance and they hung up on me repeatedly. In a jam and running out of time, I saw a couple people in front of me talking and I told them my predicament and asked them if anyone has any ideas for a solution. One guy grabbed something from his car I think a flathead screwdriver and asked me to try the fuel door lever again - I did and at the same time he pried the door with his tool. It worked - the solution required two people working together simultaneously. I thanked him profusely and he said "no problem" and drove off. As I started filling the tank it occurred to me that my own biological fuel tank was on empty as it was by then 2pm and I hadn't yet eaten. I really craved a sandwich so started asking if there was a deli nearby. Most locals said no place was open because it was Sunday. One clerk said he knew a place - Cove Deli (http://covedeli.com) that's definitely open on Sundays and only a cuppa blocks away. I drove there. The place looked closed but I tried opening the door anyway. It was locked but before I tuned away towards the car, the door opened and standing there was the same guy that helped me with the fuel filler door just minutes before. Turns out that he, Ryan, was an owner. His shop was closed to repair some equipment. We both smiled at the coincidence and I shared with him my most amazing personal coincidence story which partly took place in South Korea and he remarked he just hired a South Korean. I then asked him if he knew of a place to get a sandwich and after a pause he said "come on in I'll fix you a sandwich. I'll be quick - I know you gotta get going soon." He then makes me a tasty sandwich and also Hands me a Wilcoxson's ice cream fudge bar saying it's Montana made and I'm going to love it which I did. While I waited, I noticed some excellent bottled and draft beer options. We exchanged contact info and I thanked him yet Again. In the span of 7 minutes, Ryan, this helpful stranger, helps me big time not once but twice, first to help get fuel for my car and second giving me tasty, nourishing fuel for my body not to mention the soul. read more

We are at the Cove for lunch today and had a wonderful experience! Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The food was great. Some our party had sandwiches others had pizza and one had the fish tacos. We order the cheeses stocked with marinara sauce. The y were fabulous! The jalapeños were warm so we picked them off. The dough was so fabulous. They were the best I've ever had. This place also has ice cream. Yum! I highly recommend this place to eat! read more

Was not waited on for over a half hour even though we watched them wait on others . So my wife went to the counter to place our order and was told it would be a minute . Then with my wife standing at the counter they then went and took some people's order that just walked in . Then after a 15 minute wait at the counter they finally took our order . Then to make it worse after another half hour no pizza so my wife went back to the counter and ask why everyone else is getting there orders . They said the waitress that took our order never put it in and the ended her shift . So after a hour and a half we left without eating . I would never recommend this place to anyone ever read more

My ham sandwich was great. Super nice people work there too. I pass through Polson every so often and will hold off to eat here if close enough. read more

Very cool stop. Really like the atmosphere and combo with the ice cream side of the shop. I like local healthier options, and while it may not be the healthiest option in the area, one could certainly do worse! This is a convenient and attractive spot that will have me coming back. read more

We thought this was a great, quirky, yummy little spot to grab food on our way through town. The service was great, the atmosphere was fun (we did get to see the Memorial Day parade and program from our window seat) and we really enjoyed our soups and sandwiches. Only complaint was stale chips with the tortilla soup. It is a fast and affordable diner and the town and lake are beautiful! read more

The Cove Deli and Pizza - Half sized walk the plank and the cheesy tortilla soup! - Delis Near Me - Polson, Montana

We stopped here the day after Xmas while driving through, after walking around Polson looking for an open restaurant. I was about to settle on the salad bar when we noticed they had gluten free pizza. My son and I were stoked. The pizza was excellent - one of the best gf crusts I've ever had and the sauce made it one of the best pizzas I've ever had. Our travels brought me through Polson again so I stopped in to verify my initial findings. I just took my first bite and am a happy man. Ps my wife said the gf crust was better than the regular one. read more

Got VERY sick after eating melted ice cream from the ice cream parlor section. Most of the flavors were melted so we just thought oh let's get it. NEVER AGAIN. Being pregnant I will never return here as there seems to be no one managing or following food safety protocols. Just kids clocking in an out. read more

Never got to eat here but gave 4 stars because of customer service. There oven broke offer a full refund plus free sandwiches. Nice place will try again when things are up and working. read more

If you want to spend $60+ for mediocre sandwiches and some ice cream and get a side of attitude and eye roll for free, this is the place for you. The girl that took our order was friendly enough, but the girl that delivered it to our table and scooped our ice cream clearly hates her job and customers. When we asked what was in a flavor ice cream that had an obscure name, she seemed bothered and annoyed to have to answer and mumbled incoherently beneath her mask. When we didn't tip on the ice cream (we had tipped on the lunch bill, and honestly she was so rude getting the ice cream she didn't deserve one) she shook her head like she couldn't believe it. I've never felt so unwelcome as a paying customer. The ice cream was good, but the Montana made brand of ice cream can be found in many other places. We were looking for a good regular stop for our weekly trip between Kalispell and Missoula but we will definetly keep looking! read more

on vaca, saw high marks for Cove Deli & Pizza. Got the salad bar (very fresh) and the Mary Read pizza. The pizza is Terrific, yep. This was first venture to Polson from far away. If/when back this way, Cove is a must stop. If you're anywhere within shot of Flathead Lake, it's worth the drive. Excellent. read more

Amazing pizza disappointing service. Stopped in here on vacation for a fun dinner with my kids and family who was visiting. Upon entering we notice that the tables were dirty and that the bus boys were lounging in the entryway. After deciding on our meals my husband and father went to the counter. Upon ordering they were told that the soda fountain was not working. My father asked for a pitcher of water instead. The cashier then stated that if he were to get a pitcher of water for our family that she would have to charge him $8. My father refused to pay $8 for tap water and the cashier ultimately relented. After ordering we grabbed a seat. The pizza came after a good 20-25 minute wait. The waitress brought it to the table and placed the trays on the stands with the stands being upside down making them unstable. We grabbed our plates and cups (which had wash residue on them) and proceed to dig in. At this point my daughter needed her pizza sliced into smaller chunks and there was not cutlery. We asked the waitress for a knife to a slice the pizza smaller to which she handed us a butcher knife stating that didn't have butter knives or anything smaller. We also had to ask for Parmesan cheese which was not on the tables and I had to ask for toilet paper for the bathroom. Overall the food was delicious but the employees sorely lack customer services skills and do not present the business in the best way. Yummy pizza but maybe get it to go. read more

Believe it or not, this place serves ice cream. Literally the best ice cream I've had in a long while.

This seemed to be the only place open in Polson on Saturday for lunch, so the wife and I stopped in. Did not know exactly what to expect. The menu has a lot of options so we both got sandwiches. They were mediocre at best. A little too much bread and mayonnaise on mine, hardly any meat. Wife had similar issue with her sandwich. Employees were friendly to us and the service was pretty fast, but I don't believe we will be making a stop in here again. read more

Most unfriendly employees I've interacted with in a long time. If you hate your job, find another one. My group of eight came here for lunch today and left after realizing we'd rather be hungry than hang out in this depressing spot. The employees lost a hundred dollar order for this place today. Polson was a weird place -- we went up to Kalispell instead. read more

Given the opportunity, I will choose differently next time through. Service was the standard fine. Food was standard Sysco-ish. Bummer! read more

Got a "take and bake" pizza to prepare at home- we were tired and hungry, but it was really good. They have great ice cream too! read more
