    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!

    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 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!

    After a long day of hiking at Glacier National Park, we were starving. The portion size was pretty good for the price. We ordered the gochujang ribs and also fried chicken sandwich with garlic Parmesan fries. The fries were soggy, but seasoning was good.

    Such an inviting ambience! Server was so kind, and we had a lot of kids with us. Food was delicious. Beers were fresh flavors!

    Gyro Pita
    Jenna W.

    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.

    House fries.

    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.

    We had a really great burger. Beer selection was great. We had a really friendly and attentive waitress.

    Hot honey flatbread

    Came here on our way back from Glacier and were so glad we stopped! The interior is super cute, and everyone was incredibly welcoming and friendly. 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!

    Specials of the day!

    Spacious tap room with food! Special of the day was a mushroom burger with homemade fries and fry sauce! I rate burgers on how much my wife eats.....normally 50%, this burger was Almost completely gone, this was a 5 out of 5 burger! Great sear and seasoning, very juicy burger! And great taste! Paige our server was very attentive and helpful to answer questions! I went with the Stony Stream as my beer and complemented the burger and fries perfectly! I liked the fry sauce option with a slight ting!

    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.

    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.

    Is there outdoor dining? Yelp shows no, but in the pictures I see patio umbrellas

    So when I was there it was a bit chilly and didn't see anyone on the patio, however, they do have a small patio area. I would call and ask, it might depend on the season. It was super yummy though!

    Do they have any gluten free dishes that are safe for people with celiac disease?

    Many of our dishes are made with ingredients that do not have gluten, for instance most of our rice bowls and the sauces that go into them do not contain gluten. However, we do have gluten in the kitchen so we can never guarantee that an item coming… 

    Do we need reservations for a group or 5?

    It doesn't hurt to give a heads up. I can't remember if they do reservations
