Stopped in because of the high rating on yelp. At first, however I was not too sure I made the right decision because it took quite a while for the server to take an order from me. It might have been because it was some sort of a trivia night and they seemed quite busy with a regular crowd that was there. However, I did stay and I ended up ordering the ginger bowl 2.0 along with a hummus plate and I was very, very surprised as how good it all was. In fact "excellent " tells it all. I would definitely come back just for those two selections alone. Not at all what I would've expected in a "bar" in Columbia Falls, Montana. Some Asian choices, some Middle Eastern choices, some American choices on the menu and more. I was very impressed with just the two that I got so I want to come back and try again. The ambience was rather an open environment, wood chairs, wood tables, no booths, but comfortable and had more of that "bar" feel to it but there were kids there so families were welcome read more

Came here because of the most reviews. Wanted to try just one brewery in the area. Had the Pilgrim Blonde which had a little more hops than I'm used to. Decent beer. The house fries are the BEST I've had, EVER. Didn't have luck with fries in Idaho but Montana came through. We originally just ordered the beef burger which had great quality meat ordered medium well. Once we tasted the fries I immediately asked to order a large batch. I'll be coming back. Also, great fast service. Helpful and nice waitress and great cook. read more

I really enjoyed Backslope Brewing. I love a brewery that also includes great food. Backslope's food is top tier for brewery + food spots. There's a wide selection of beer and some noted on the menu as award winning which may help steer your decisions. We went to Backslope after a full day of hiking and it definitely got the job done. Definitely recommend if you are in the area and I'd return if I ever find myself in GNP again. read more

This is my second time at Backslope. The first time I stopped in was years ago during my first visit to Glacier. I was really excited to go back as I had such a great experience the first time. We shared a flight and I would recommend each of the beers but really enjoyed the sours. I had the fish and chips for my lunch and really enjoyed them. The slaw had a little too much carrot for me but I still enjoyed it. We stopped for a late lunch and had no wait. If you are in the area, I would highly recommend stopping in at Backslope and I will definitely return during our next Glacier trip! read more

We haven't been in for about a year. They used to have a chicken sandwich I raved about to visitors but it's not on the menu anymore. This time the food was just so-so. I had a $16.00 chicken lemon salad. It was decent. My Mom had soup and they don't serve any crackers or bread with it. She asked for something and they brought some pita slices for $2.00. I guess everything is higher priced but that chicken sandwich I thought was the best thing on the menu. My Mom said the soup was "just alright" The service was good. read more

[ Food/Drink ] We tried the Bistro Burger, Pork Belly Sandwich, Mac & Cheese, and Fried Pickles; everything was pretty good, except that the Pork Belly Sandwich was kind of salty. I ordered the Ginger Lemonade and that was good as well, I liked that it was homemade. [ Service ] Customer service was good, the waitress was nice. The food came out fairly quickly. Just know there's a possibility of them not being able to accept new customers an hour before they close if they're super busy, which is what happened when we went. They posted a sign saying they were not taking any more customers for the parties that arrived after us. [ Parking ] They have a pretty small parking lot, but we were able to find some parking near their Annex. read more

Loved the gyro pita with falafel! Excellent flavor, with fresh veggies on top and a side of fries. The saison was also on point. It can be difficult to find a satisfying meal as a vegetarian when I'm traveling, and this place hit the spot. read more

I think Backslope has the best burger I have had in a long time! I was on the brink of being hangry after hiking and exploring GNP and stopped in for a late lunch. The beers are great and the burger was awesome - juicy, full of flavor, an all around classic burger. The lettuce, tomato, onion, and condiments are on the side so you can customize the burger yourself. The house style potatoes are salty but delicious. I am still thinking about this burger almost two months later, this is a must to stop by if you are in the area. read more

Pretty decent food and beer here. We started with a flight of the Leiwand Amber, porter, Foreman stout, and nitro stout. I liked the porter the best, while my wife liked the Foreman stout. We each followed up with a pint of those two. Intrigued by the bowls, I went with the bulgogi beef bowl. I was really impressed with the first few bites. I soon realized, however, the bowl hadn't been mixed up, and I had a lot more cabbage slaw and rice than bulgogi beef. I mixed it up, and it was fine, but not as good as the first few bites. Way too much cabbage and rice. My wife had the veggie burger with fries, and she thought both were delicious. Service was a little slow at the start, but it mostly picked up. I had to ask for more water, and once I got that, the waitress didn't offer to refill my wife's water at the same time, which was a bit strange. read more

Delicious and fresh. I was originally upset when they took the chicken sandwich off the menu, until I tried the Greek food, so fresh and amazing. I love the shwarma plate with a side of thaziki, bonus, it seems the chicken sandwich is back seasonally as a special. Beers are great as well. read more

The menu is varied with an enticing surprise for everyone. I had the Ginger Pork Sandwith a side house salad. The house salad is the best I have ever had! It was more than a spring mix. There was shredded cabbage, carrots, and pepitas with a peppercorn ranch dressing that was light and tasty. The Ginger Pork Sandwich was am amazing mix of flavors. The ginger is absolutely delicious. It comes with a sirachi Mayo that I didn't think I'd like. I requested it on the side and quickly became a convert, Absolutely delicious! My husband had the Winter Glory Salad and it was definitely glorious. Once again, the mixture of tastes was a surprise to the taste buds. The salad had mixed greens, spinach, kale, red and green cabbage, carrots, and the addition of beets and Brussels sprouts were excellent. It also came mixed with flavorful quinoa and toasted almonds. The creamy tahini dressing finished it off perfectly. This is absolutely a place worth visiting over and over again. We don't drink but I assume the same attention to detail and flavors is taking place on the brewery side. read more

Fabulous menu with fresh interesting food, not run of the mill bar food. Highly recommend!

My husband and I decided to explore outside the park and all the beautiful nature today. We decide to drive up to and try the brewery. The waitstaff were attentive and friendly, helping us to pick out a flight of their brews. All four were exactly what we had described and wanted. Delicious! The porter was my favorite. Then we had the labneh- it was delicious with the pickled cucumbers and soft pita. Then we decided to go with the summer special of the veggie burger. I am not lying when I say it was the best veggie burger I have ever had with the fries! Oh it was delicious! We also decided to buy a few of their cookies to take home- they are as big as a dinner plate and still thick with all the flavors. Thank you! read more

Backslope Brewing - Bowl with Steak + side of fries - Breweries Near Me - Columbia Falls, Montana

This is a must when you're visiting Glacier National Park. It's not far from the park, so the perfect place to hit up after a tough hike! The burgers, the fries, the brews. All top notch. They don't take reservations. Usually busy (bc it's so good) but never took long to sit or get our food. Fun atmosphere inside, seating outside as well. The fries are really like a hybrid of fries, wedges and chips. Amazing and unique. Definitely recommend the truffle ones. Homemade ranch is awesome - get it on the side! The burger is so flavorful and toppings are fresh. I recommend caramelized onions on the burger instead of raw. So good. read more

Stopped by during our annual ski trip to Whitefish and we're sooooo disappointed. We came in February and all was great, came again in March and the menu is completely different! The hostess was kind enough to let us know that the menu had changed, prior to seating us. As we were perusing the menu, 2 other groups came in. They too looked over the new menu and walked out, as we did. My entire family is still talking about how disappointing the menu change is. The 'bowls' were always amazing, my extended family here in Seattle said that they would go back to Whitefish just to get the Bulgogi Bowl at Backslope! Well, I guess that will not happen any time soon. UNLESS, UNLESS, Backslope is smart enough to bring back their old menu. The beer variety here has always been decent but we truly only drove over to Columbia Falls/Backslope for the food. Nobody in our group ever said, 'Hey, let's head to Backslope for beers!', it was always, 'Hey, let's head to Backslope for lunch!' My review is not intended to deter anyone from going here, I'm just leaving my feedback for the management, as we were loyal customers for years. Unfortunately, we'll be going elsewhere. So so sad. read more

Inconsistent food and poor service...if this is your thing, then you'll love it here. We used to enjoy coming here years ago but it's a big NO now! In addition to the poor service, we got a flat tire in their parking lot once and the owner would do nothing! The flat was cause by rebar sticking out of the ground. read more

This spot was such a great find! While traveling through Glacier National Park, we dined here on our way in and enjoyed it so much that we stopped again on our way back. The beers and all of the food items we tried were delicious. Was impressed that the menu rotated quite a bit in the week between our visits. We were seated and served quickly both times. The stand out items for me were the garlic parm potatoes and the rice bowls, but I really don't think you can go wrong with any of the items on the menu! If I was a local, this would be a frequent stop for sure! read more

I'm always down for a local brewpub, and this joint came highly recommended on Yelp! Started out with a flight, and loved them all...ended up having a pint of the hazy because it was my fav. Had the fried chicken sandwich... crispy, sweet vinegar bbq, and cool crispness of the slaw... paired well with the garlic parm potatoes. Ambiance is industrial campsite, service was not beer knowledgeable, and prices were in line with expectation... this joint makes the list! read more

Great food and good service. Fish and chips and specials were good choices. Would recommend in Columbia falls

Not too far from the National park, this brewery is a great spot not just for their beer but also their food. We ordered an appetizer of fried pickle spears and in came out within 2 minutes of ordering! There's a decent amount of seating and a small patio, hard to escape the sun at times. I got a veggie burger that came with a fried egg and it was great! The beers that I tried were all good, seems that they have a decent amount of rotating season offerings. I would highly recommend this place to anyone nearby! read more

Arrived and seated quickly. The server was not attentive at all. Took way too long to come check on us for the first time. We placed our order and then waited and waited for her to pour a beer and bring some ice. Finally the beer came but no ice for my water. Fish and chips were good but beware they will charge you $1.50 for a cup of ranch!! Once we had finished our meals she dropped off our check and said she would be right back. We could see her over by the register behind the bar eating, and we waited and waited for her to come back so we could pay. Finally she noticed we were looking that way and came to take our money. Could be nice place but the surprise charge for the ranch seemed a bit much and the service was terrible! read more

This spot was recommended by a friend as having the best chicken sandwich. She was not wrong! The sandwich is huge and has a really yummy sauce as well as slaw spilling from it. I had to unhinge my jaw to bite it. We also got a special for the day, fish and chips, and that was great also. We stopped on our way to Glacier National Park, and enjoyed it so much we stopped when heading home and tried the pork belly sandwich which was delicious as well. Sampled some brews and the selection was great. Service was excellent and fast despite being busy. read more

The food and drinks were just what we were looking for after a long day of hiking. The service was great, too.

Standout experience. Tried a lot of really fun unique beers that were super enjoyable( I would highly recommend getting a flight or two so that you can try a lot. Some of them although good and fun to try, I do not think I'd like having a whole glass of it. The Mac and cheese was stand out and I would recommend getting the smaller cup size that I don't think was listed in the menu as a little side. The bulgogi bowl was solid but the bistro burger really stood out to me. One of the most juicy, savory burgers I have had and all the flavors just compliment each other so well. The staff was all super kind and were very attentive. Ambiance was lively and they had big windows looking into their brewing process which really helped you feel immersed in the whole beer experience. They also have an awesome patio for the nice months! read more

Backslope Brewing - Shawarma pita with pork - Breweries Near Me - Columbia Falls, Montana

I'm always looking for my next impossible burger, and in my search I found folks raving about Backslope's handmade veggie burger. Now I'm usually not too fond of such things: They tend to be comprised of tasteless grains that fall apart when you try to chow down on them, have no crispiness to them, then you have to slather them in ketchup just to get through. But since self-proclaimed veggie burger experts on here had pronounced them one of the best, I needed to get a taste of one too. They weren't wrong, although nothing compares in my mind to the authenticity of Impossible Burgers. The burger did come crisp, well-spiced, and delicious. I opted for the salad instead of fries, which adds another $2 to the bill, kinda lame. Hubs had a rather plain looking chicken and rice bowl, but he seemed to enjoy it and felt a little angelic about his choice afterward. I also tried the gluten free beer, and in IMO it was delicious, with fruity and flowery notes in the mix; dang, I think I watch too much hallmark channel. I'd definitely order it again! read more

Backslope Brewing - Veggie burger with salad - Breweries Near Me - Columbia Falls, Montana

For some reason they don't allow dogs on their patio. My dog is a service dog but we left on principle. That's ridiculous. Also not very friendly about it. Most restaurants allow dogs outdoors - the owner had a ridiculous response to another comment saying restaurants with table service don't allow dogs outside - that's untrue. Also they don't have table service outside - there's huge signs telling you there's no table service in the beer garden. Owner must have an issue with dogs. I'm sure they're losing a lot of business from travelers stopping by. read more

Stunningly enjoyable medi food. Everything was great. Super flavorful chicken and loved the fries. The beers weren't very good.

Love the food and the beer! I haven't been lately, but heard they had a new menu...can't wait to get back there!

This gem of a family owned brewery and eatery is easily on a really short list as one of my all time favorite places. Multiple beer and beverage options for all tastes crafted lovingly by the brewmaster and great food that pairs with the community focused dining area and ambiance. It's not uncommon to see regulars just come and hang at the bar. The waitstaff is attentive and friendly and the service is great even when they are busy. When they bring it back for a limited time, I grab the Gochujang Ribs (also known as the house ribs) with a side of rice and the All day Porter as a cap to my week. Lovely place that you would not regret trying. read more
