Delicious! Passing through on our way to Bozeman surfing Yelp for a bite to eat and decided to have lunch at The Durham based on the Sea Salt Carmel Fries and the claim to the best BLT. Yes, they do in fact have the best BLT and the Carmel fries were at a different level! Friendly staff and clean. It's worth stopping in. read more

Incredible food, great dining experience!! We ate at the bar, and our server was extraordinary. Delightful drinks and a welcoming atmosphere. Whether you are looking for comfort food, or a great steak, you can't go wrong here!! read more

Sat at the bar on a Sunday morning for drinks and brunch. We were completely ignored even though we were the only ones at the bar. The restaurant was not crowded. They had 2 servers and one bartender. Waited almost 10 mins to have our drink and food order taken. Waited another 10 mins or more to finally get our drinks even though there was a dedicated bartender. Food took another 20 mins or more to get. Tortillas on the huevos rancheros were very tough to cut. Right after we ordered we over heard the staff talking about being out of home fries. Then shortly after that they were out of ice because the ice machine was not working enough to keep up. I got the biscuits and gravy and the biscuits were very dense and not a lot of gravy. Most who were seated at tables were having to come up to the bar to pay as the wait staff was inattentive to the tables. Also, we found out after we had ordered and eaten that they had several specials that the bartender forgot to mention to us. We heard her mention them to another couple next to us and she looked at us and said "sorry, I forgot to tell you". The specials board was to the right of the door as you leave. To see it as you walked in, you'd have to know it was there, and do a 180 to the left to see it. Would we have ordered some of the specials? Yep! read more

Amazing food amazing live karaoke and amazing servers loved my experience would recommend it

The service was very poor. We waited 25 minutes after our order to receive our food. They completely forgot the order for one in our party and it required another 15 minute wait to receive it. I was told they were waiting for the home fries which were NEVER served yet we were charged full price for the meal. The waitress never checked on us. Ranch dressing ordered by two in our group was forgotten and we had to ask twice for it. Very poor customer service. I do not recommend eating here. read more

Every was horrible at the restaurant. Service was not attentive. We did not receive our drinks until after our food arrived. I had to walk up to the bar to pay our bill. We both had chicken fried steak. Both of our orders were wrong. The food tasted awful. The gravy tasted burnt, like ash. read more

This such a charming place! And the burger was sooo good! There was live music when we went which just made the evening warm. I tried this after sitting by one of their waitresses on the plane! She was right! This is a dor read more

The Durham - Kitchen and Cocktails - The table with our food! - Tacos Near Me - Polson, Montana

We had 1 day in Polson, and the Durham was recommended to us by a local. We came in for lunch and immediately loved the modern logging camp style, complete with a moose head and bison head. The menu was full of delicious options and we chose the street tacos and fish tacos with an IPA and a Huckleberry cider. The tacos were extremely delicious, as we're the drinks. We liked it so much, we came back for dinner and split some mango habenaro wings, a blue cheese burger, and spicy carmel fries. If you're looking for great food and a fun pub experience in Polson, the Durham is the place. If you're lucky, Shayna will be your waitress to make it absolutely perfect! read more

The food I wonderful. The service is good. The ambiance is great. Don't go if you're in a hurry but very much well worth the wait

We stopped here based on the advice from our VRBO host and were very happy we did. As others have mentioned, the street tacos are great! We actually had them twice. We sat at the bar each time, and the service we got from Liam and Sidnee was great. We only went during the week, so I cannot speak to how busy it might get on the weekend. Highly recommended. read more

Great view of the flat head lake , it's beautiful The food was fine , we had the French dip and the salmon The salmon portion was huge, I couldn't finish it, it served with some zucchini and squash, the mashed potatoes was a little on the cool side although I prefer it to be hot, my margarita drink was perfect Service was excellent If you like the lake view and not have to travel far from hotel this is the place. The view from the room was great and we love the room , very comfortable and cozy read more

Early dinner on a Tuesday, Durham's was a good choice. The BEST Cobb salad with grilled chicken! Balsamic dressing complements the sweet bacon and egg included in it. The crispy chicken salad was very good too. I am picky about my IPA beers, but try The Bob. read more

From the outside it looks like an old bar but the inside is so much more! The service was wonderful and the food was delicious! I got the Steak Tip Mac and Cheese and it was perfect! The house-made cheese cream was flavorful and the perfect texture. The steak tips were tender and flavorful! read more

The Durham - Kitchen and Cocktails - Entrance/bar - Tacos Near Me - Polson, Montana

The only reason we stopped by was because some locals told us about this place and highly recommended the Mac n cheese. We came here and ordered the breakfast shots which was 2 for $12. Comes with a piece of candied bacon which was my treat! The drink was pretty sweet, but the best part was the bacon anyways. We ordered the buffalo bacon blue Mac n cheese. The server placed on on another customer's table and it was sitting there for about 4 minutes. Although the patron confirmed that they did not touch it, who knows what happened. The server noticed it was on the wrong table and simply moved it back to our table. I kindly asked that they give me a new batch because it was on another table. They seriously took it back and let it sit under some heat lamps for 15 minutes before bringing it back to our table. The chicken was dried out and the pasta looked dry. read more

Dang good food and friendly, fast service! Thank you for treating my family and I so well. I hope to stop in again someday!

Out of this world bar food!!! I got the chicken sandwich and loaded sweet potato fries. If I lived in MT, I would be a regular at this place! I went for lunch and had no problems with seating, but it's a fairly small place and could be it being really packed/ busy at dinner. read more

The interior is small, but cozy. The staff is friendly and fairly attentive. The food was pretty good. The Durham burger is nothing special and that is what made it special!!!! I will definitely be going back here! They have a full bar and serve Non-alcoholic beer for ppl that still want the "beer" taste. Looking forward to the expansion and it's nice to have a place that looks more upscale with a decent menu in Polson. Hopefully this turns into a better spot than it's previous (lake bar) with younger crowds like 45 and below. The older patrons (locals) were rude and will definitely hinder business. read more

I really like the Durham. I sat at the bar and the bartender was super nice - we had a good conversation around the classic rock that was playing. Being a local Montanan I was pleased to see local beers on tap; especially Draught Works and Missouri River Brewing! For dinner I started with the garden salad (they Candy their bacon.....good lord it was so good.) and the Street Tacos that had steak in them as the protein. Both were delicious. "Almost a Shirley Temple" - NA with a different twist with Grenadine. Brought me back a little bit to when I was a kid. Service was also great. Low key and good food - give the Durham a try! read more

Horrible service. Made a reservation for a party of 6 confirmed by email and again by phone. Upon arrival the restaurant didn't have a reservation, staff were very dismissive, impolite and shrugged us off without any offer of a resolution of any kind. read more

If you're on Yelp looking for a place to eat in Polson, and you've come across this review; stop looking and just go eat at The Durham! A great selection of local beers on draft and a food list that will suit anyones desires...(unless you like oysters...but Rocky Mountain Oysters are plausible). Very attentive waitstaff and bartenders who make great recommendations. I had the BLT and my wife had the Cheddar Cheese burger on a GF bun...no complaints at all from wither of us. Hear me out hear, but the decor is like a local backwoods bar crossed with speak-easy...and I'm here for it. Seriously, if you haven't been here yet...that's not a 'we problem'. read more

We popped in 3/7/25 at 1:30pm. Ordered their delicious 3 Amigo appetizer, which contained homemade salsa, guacamole, warm queso, & freshly fried tortilla chips. We split the mushroom/swiss burger, it was amazing. The bartender was friendly & made me a refreshing Caesar. We had 3 Miller Light bottles & our bill was $55.00. Live Music was being advertised for later that night. Looking forward to going back! read more

Get yourself over here IMMEDIATELY!!!!! Literally want to shout from a mountain top!!!! lol Visited this place with a friend on a road trip to Montana. Best food we had in Montana hands down!!!! Came in for lunch and had the Best Fish Tacos in the world and the BLT sandwich with sweet potato fries. Everything was TASTY!!!! The aioli sauce was like nothing I've ever tasted before, it was sweet but cinammony! The BLT, oh Lawddd the Bacon was thick and fresh!! The bread was perfectly toasted. The sweet potato fries were just *chefskiss* crispy, tasty. Everything we ate was PERFECT We met the owner and Our server Kianna was patient friendly and explained everything she recommended the tacos and they stood to their name of best tacos in the world. We also had the breakfast shot with bacon and 2 of the peach ciders. Refreshing read more

This is a newer place in town and while there are still some minor kinks to work out, mostly it's a perfectly adequate place to have a meal in a town that really lacks dining options. The big problem I had when I was there is that the place smelled of varnish pretty heavily. They were just opened and finishing some woodwork in the back. The smell was quite strong, and it couldn't be helped. They were one of only a few open places on a Monday night, so I persevered. I had the grilled chicken sandwich with bacon and avocado and a chipotle aioli. It was cooked well, and the chipotle aioli was not spicy, if you're fearful of heat. It was savory and I enjoyed it along with a beer and a side of beer battered fries. The place was adequately staffed and the food came out quickly. Other than the smell which would be gone in a couple of days, I have no complaints. read more

The place is nice looking inside and our server was great. The food however is average even with the fancy aioli sauces. The Montana beef tasted the same as any other beef and the burger was small for the price. The price's are way too high especially in a small town, people can't go broke eating out! read more

There were 3 of us. We all ordered different dishes, and all of us liked what we ordered. We would go again

If I could give 0 stars I would. Waited over 30 minutes even to order drinks. had a table of 8 so think the bartender could care less. As I'm typing this it's been over an hour and we still don't even have waters. This place is a joke and won't give us good service because we are from out of town. People that came in after us have received food and drinks within 10 minutes. This place sucks. ALSO update: didn't get our drinks until we finished our food before we got our drinks. Food was cold server sucked. read more

If you're in town, you've gotta come here. This place was amazing. The food was incredible and the general manager, Ginger was attentive and friendly. Can't wait to bring friends and family here. read more

Had lunch here. Good, friendly service, fast. Carne Asada tacos and pulled pork tacos were amazing.

Overpriced for the small and bland amount you get..cute little place with good servic..this local will not return

Pleasant atmosphere and a stage where live music can be played on the weekend. Delicious food and something for the whole family. I would have taken a picture of my meal, but I was too hungry; and it was too delicious! Friendly service. Will definitely be going back! read more

Place had been recommended by friends, so we went. Friendly staff, but waited an hour for lunch while others were getting served. Explanation was they were short a cook. Both dishes we ordered arrived cold (should've been hot). Mac n cheese and a "grilled" cheese sandwich. Terrible when cold. Asked to have warmed, and came back a minute later barely warm. No offer to remake or discount check. Weren't planning to spend that long sitting inside on a gorgeous day just for lunch! Next time we'll skip it and bring a picnic. read more

Beautifully remodeled inside. Food was fast & fresh, but most importantly delicious! The French Dip special looked tempting, but the Carne Asada street tacos won me over. The marinade was outstanding and the flavors were great! I saw a burger go by with an onion ring on top and wanted to follow it to the table for a bite but I refrained. There was only one server in the place and she was friendly and efficient. Never wanted for anything and there was no rush to get us out of there. The place was packed when we left. I look forward to going back. read more

The Fish Tacos are amazing! Yes, in Montana fish. Awesome I highly recommend them. The best I have ever tasted.

Waited 30 minutes for cold food. And horrible service for not having a lot of customers. Don't know why we didn't just walk out...
