Great food! We had the hummus plate which was incredible. Also, had a burger which was great. Definitely a lot better than any other place we had tried on our trip. read more

What a delight to come here after eating the terrible food within the park. The hummus was super tasty and the chicken shawarma was delicious! Lots of veggies so I felt good about myself eating it. Really cool beer I had too. Place was popping by 12 when we left, and I understand why! read more

Backslope brewery has the best food I tried on my recent trip to Glacier! I came here with my friends after a long day of hiking at the park and it completely revived us. I especially loved all of the vegan and vegetarian options which are not easy to find in this area. The tofu sesame almond salad was easily one of the best salads I've ever had in my life and I've never had tofu that had been prepared to perfectly. The beer was also fantastic. The brewery is very cute and staff is friendly! I'd highly recommend backslope, especially if you're vegan/vegetarian! read more

Backslope Brewing was recommended by our Airbnb host, and we ended up going twice during our Glacier trip. On our first visit, we had the mushroom burger special, and it was excellent. Easily the best burger of our trip. The fries and fry sauce were also great, and the beer selection was solid. My husband especially liked the Leiwand beer, while I loved the ginger lemonade. We came back a second time and split the fish and chips. They were also very good, although the burger was still our favorite. Definitely worth a stop, and clearly worth a return visit. read more

Our first place we ate out in Montana, and turns out to be a fan favorite! I went with the standard burger and up charged for Parmesan fries, charged definitely did not disappoint. Burger was cooked to perfection and seasoned well. I got a side of picked red onions to go with my burger & omg these were amazing--had a kick of ginger flavor I believe which I loved. I ordered the Soft Static Hazy IPA and it was amazing, easy IPA to drink. Love this place so much, I bought a sticker! The menu has an extensive list of Mediterranean/Greek options two, which was surprising for a burger/brewery place! read more

Great Food Indoor and outdoor seating Incredible beer menu We made a stop here late in the day for some food and we were shocked how FANTASTIC the food was. Rarely do you find a spot that has great beer and great food, but Backslope does both But if you read my reviews, you know I like to steer you through the menu, at least what we tried. Foreman's Stout - full bodied, delicious. Ginger/Lemonade - refreshing, sooooo GOOD. House Fries - sliced as chips, but so good. Hummus - great consistency, but needed some citrus to finish it off. Still good, but I am picky about hummus. Tzatziki sauce - incredible, delicious, get this. Pecan Salad with Chicken - HOLY SMOKES, my wife loved this dish. She made me come back another time just so she vould have it again. Gyro Platter - light on the chicken, but really delicious. It was enough for two or more meals. Gyro - so full I could not fit it into my mouth. But enough for two. Really great find, read more

There were plenty of beer options but neither one we ordered really wowed us. However, the food menu looks really good. We only sampled the garlic Parmesan fries which were simply amazing. There is indoor and outdoor seating and service was prompt and friendly read more

READ THIS REVIEW!! This is our second season in Columbia Falls, and I cannot believe we let other reviews keep us from trying Backslope Brewing! I saw several reviews from people who were upset that something they loved had been taken off the menu, and because of that, we almost missed what has turned out to be THE BEST RESTAURANT IN COLUMBIA FALLS! Let me tell you how impressed my husband and I were with everything. We started with the hummus plate. I didn't even get a chance to take a picture because we dug into it too fast! It comes with housemade hummus, thick tzatziki like sauce called labne, Kalamata olives, pickled cauliflower, and more than enough pita for both of us to eat our fill. Then came our "holy cow, this is the best fish we have ever had" moment. And when I say the best fish we've ever had, I mean it! The fish is house beer battered, and I believe it has panko on the outside. Honestly, had I noticed the panko before ordering, I probably wouldn't have chosen it. That would have been a HUGE mistake because this fish is AMAZING! It was so good that after finishing what came with our meals, we ordered an extra piece of fish! And oh my goodness, the garlic Parmesan potatoes. I could seriously order those by themselves and be happy. I'm also not normally a slaw person, but even the slaw surprised me. It wasn't the typical heavy mayo-based slaw. It tasted more like a light lemon, vinegar, and olive oil dressing, and I loved it. Then there's the beer. How did we let other people's opinions keep us from some of the best beer we've had in Montana?! The beer batter on the fish is made with The Pilgrim, their blonde ale. I normally don't even drink blonde ales because I like dark, chewy beers, but we included The Pilgrim in our flight and I think it may have just become a new favorite! Last but definitely not least was our amazing server, Karson. She was on top of her game the entire time. She was all over the place taking care of tables but still made time to chat with us. I swear, if I even looked up to find her, she was suddenly at our table asking if we needed anything. That kind of service makes an already great meal even better. It's going to be REALLY hard not to eat here every other day for the next month and a half that we're in Columbia Falls. In fact, if they were open today or Monday, I think we'd already be heading back! So yes, you may see a few reviews from locals who are upset because something they loved was taken off the menu. I even voiced my own opinion that they should PLEASE never take this fish off the menu! But don't do what we did and assume whatever was removed must have been the only good thing here. Everything we ordered was amazing, and the gyros, chicken sandwiches, and burgers being delivered to the tables around us looked pretty amazing too. We waited until our second season in Columbia Falls to try Backslope Brewing. That was about one season too long! read more

Stopped here after a day of hiking for dinner and got a seat right away for 4 of us. The menu is a bit limited in options with only a standard burger, a chicken sandwich, some bowls and wraps, and a pasta dish. I ordered the Gyro Pita with chicken and it was good. The chicken was tender and seasoned well, but some of the pieces were room temperature like the chicken was made prior and heated up when I ordered. There were also only a few chicken chunks in the pita, so the protein level wasn't very fulfilling. The remaining part of the pita was full of cucumber, red onion, tomato, cabbage, parsley, and a drizzle of delicious house tzatziki. The tzatziki was wonderful, just wish there was more to have with every bite and help keep the ingredients from falling out of the pita. The dish was also served with house fries that were seasoned with parsley and sea salt. I definitely would have liked a larger portion of the pita, I still felt a bit hungry after my meal and for $17 it should have been more. As a drink I ordered a sour with cherry and plum flavor, along with a few other fruits and spices. It was great and refrshing! Overall, the food and drink was good but left me wanting more. read more

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

Five years ago I met the owner of Back Slope Brewery at a beer tasting in western Montana. That conversation convinced me to make the trip to Columbia Falls to visit the brewery, and I'm glad I did. What I discovered wasn't just excellent craft beer--it was some of the most memorable brewery food I've ever had. Back Slope took ordinary menu items and turned them into something extraordinary. The pulled pork sandwich and fried chicken sandwich were simply exceptional. The chicken was hand-cut, brined in pickle juice, carefully breaded, and fried to a perfect golden crust. The sauce brought everything together perfectly. Those sandwiches weren't just good--they were the reason I looked forward to returning. Unfortunately, on my most recent visit I discovered that both signature sandwiches are gone. The pulled pork sandwich has been removed from the menu, and the fried chicken has been replaced with commercially prepared chicken. We ordered other menu items, and while they were perfectly acceptable, they lacked the creativity and quality that made Back Slope feel special. What was once an unforgettable dining experience has become, in my opinion, just another brewery with decent food. The service, however, remains excellent. Our server was friendly, attentive, and greeted us with a genuine smile, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. I understand that restaurants evolve and sometimes difficult business decisions have to be made. Still, it's disappointing when the very dishes that set a place apart disappear. Back Slope still has good beer and great service, but the unique culinary experience that once made it worth going out of my way to visit no longer seems to be there. I sincerely hope they consider bringing those signature sandwiches back, because they were truly something special. read more

The food here is so delicious! Seriously. Might have to go back tomorrow night. The garlic Parmesan fries are like none I've ever had before- amazing! And the fried chicken sandwich was incredible. The flavors on that thing were so unique and, well, outstanding. Kudos to the chef!. One of the best meals I've had in a while. Oh- and a great varied selection of hand crafted beer- yummy. 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

We ordered the hot honey flatbread (10/10), ginger lemonade (10/10), chicken sandwich with garlic fries, and the fish & chips.! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and hit the spot after a day of exploring. Definitely worth a stop if you're in Columbia Falls! 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

Service was great but the beer was not to my liking. Had the flight but wasn't a fan of any of the beers I picked.

We often stop here after class in the park. Fresh menu and many beer choices. My husband likes a bock beer and it isn't always in stock. Friendly efficient staff. Plenty of parking. You may wait if it is busy but if the weather is good they have an outdoor patio area. read more

Best brewery on your way to glacier!!!! Personally recommend the mindless philosopher beer.

Food and beer were outstanding. Highly recommend a stop here if you're in the area. The truffle parm fries are delicious.

Amazing food! And their provision of the Falls Flash was a stellar bonus. Fantastic job!

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

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
