Stopped by Black Star Brewery while visiting family in Whitefish and had a great experience. Henry helped us out and recommended the smash burger and the pizza--both were delicious. Great atmosphere and a really solid place to grab dinner if you're in town. read more

Some of the best food in the valley. Jeremiah Johnson beer is no joke. I love the shift back to the name Blackstar for us locals. My favorite is the Vanilla Porter. I also enjoy most anything else. You can not go wrong on their beer. Solid choices. I would say Blackstar has one of the best if not best burgers in the valley. The pizza sandwiches when they have them are excellent. My kids love the pizza and I do too. The chicken sandwich is also a solid hit. You will go up the line to order or use the QR code at the table to order. Some things come out sooner than others but the runner do a good job of getting what you need. The second floor is a great spot to hang especially in the summer the mid level tap bar is open. The best is the top floor and deck. It's a hidden gem. read more

Lunch at Blackstar Brewery in Whitefish, MT. Let me just cut to the chase. Lunch was excellent! It's a modern brew pub with a big menu. It has three levels, 1st and 2nd floors with a roof top. You pick a table and order from the bar giving them your table number or or from the table using a QR code. We each ordered a beer. I chose the Hazy Pale Ale and was happy with my choice. Then we ordered a Bavarian Pretzel for the table and it was OUTSTANDING! We each ordered the Cowboy Chicken Sandwich and it was excellent. The sandwich comes with char-grilled chicken breast, southern coleslaw, tangy BBQ sauce, pickled red onion, ob a potato bun. It was excellent. Blackstar is a fun venue with a wide variety of menu items. The food was excellent and the prices what you'd expect. read more

Blackstar Brewery was our first stop in the area. We really enjoyed it. You seat yourself and order from the QR code at the table. There's not too much to comment on as far as service goes with that, but it is quite efficient. It is a sizable restaurant with a 2nd floor and an outside rooftop area. We looked around for seating options outside but determined it was a bit too hot out. We made our way back downstairs and ordered at a table near the bar. We ordered the pretzel and smashburger with fries. The pretzel is ginormous! The smashburger was very solid. I was hungry after a day of travel and devoured it. This is a cool spot and I'd recommend giving Blackstar Brewery a try if you are in the area. read more

10/10 spot to eat and have a good time! Great setup indoors where you can find a table, order and get food quickly. But also it's great food! Everything we ordered was throughly enjoyed--even specifically the chicken pot pie talked about days after visiting! If you are looking for a high quality place to grab a bite to eat or a drink, I would highly suggest Blackstar! read more

Food was delicious highly recommend their smash burgers and french fries, great atmosphere friendly service with a smile

Stopped here for dinner and they have an interesting set up. Seat yourself and order from the table or bar. Couldn't order a flight from my table so had to go to bar and order it all. Then had to keep going back to the bar to order more beer on the same table not the most convenient. Other than that, the guac was amazing, wings were very good, and the chopped salad was awesome. Beer was on point and not too strong, unless you wanted that! Would definitely go back! read more

Surprisingly awesome salad for a brewery. My friend had the burger & fries and really liked it. I was here on a busy day and the seating was a bit chaotic, but overall great vibe here and the beer was good! read more

Very good beer, really great (and filling!) pizza, and a cool building with different options for groups of various sizes. I would have loved to sit on the rooftop but it was hot and the evening sun was angled in a way the shade covers didn't help much. The QR code ordering feels impersonal, but it worked great, everything was speedy and service was extra friendly & helpful throughout. read more

We were here pretty much every single night we were in town. I'm slightly ashamed to admit. But this place is great! They have 3 floors so there's something for everyone. You can sit inside, outside, rooftop whatever you like. At $12 for a pitcher of blonde ale you really can't beat it. The food and service are all great! Can't go wrong. read more

I loved our stop at Blackstar Brewery! We had lunch here on our way to Glacier Park. We came for a late lunch and there was plenty of seating. We chose to sit on the first floor but there are two floors and a third floor roof top with outdoor views. You can stay where and either order at the bar or order through a QR code. We shared a pretzel for our starter. The pretzel was soft and great with the cheese. I had a smash burger and really enjoyed it. The burger was juicy and I liked the sauce as well. Service was great and we didn't wait long for anything. We would return if we are back in Whitefish! read more

We enjoyed our lunch at Blackstar Brewery. We dined on the 2nd floor, ordered from the QR code and got our food fairly quickly. Bathrooms are clean, the restaurant is spacious, food is good, and right near a great park with a gorgeous view! read more

DO NOT RECOMMEND HORRIBLE SERVICE It is exceptionally rare that I leave poor reviews. Most of the reviews I leave are 4-5 stars. Not today. The location is right downtown Whitefish. It looks great inside and out. That's all the nice things I can say. When we arrived, we wanted to sit on the rooftop terrace. When we got there, nearly all the tables were dirty. There was no staff anywhere, except one that was busy serving drinks one floor below and two more serving drinks on the ground floor. No big deal....I've worked in restaurants before and know they can get busy (even though it was 3pm and not full at all). I found some napkins, got them wet and cleaned off my own table. All orders are done via a QR code. There is no one to ask questions to about the menu. We keyed in our order and I was surprised to see that the app they use asks for a gratuity, for table service (default to 20%), before getting your drinks and food....and without having any servers! Knowing that towns like Whitefish survive from summer tourism (and with a background in restaurant management) I decided to still leave a 20% tip. When our food came, there were no napkins. We asked for utensils and the food runner (not server) was clearly annoyed and gave us a sarcastic remark before getting them. It was obvious that we ruined his day. Forget about getting water served. You have to get it yourself. The food was decent, but not great (the queso dip was a yellow, solidified sludge). If you are going to ask for a tip, with 20% being your default setting, try having some service. Your establishment has NONE. I had to clean my own table, get my own napkins (which I found on a table of people who had left) and track down a glass of water. Getting utensils was an inconvenience to your staff. At no point did anyone check on us to see how our food/experience was. It is clear Blackstar does not care about their customers. They only care about their money. Go to one of the MANY other places in town that actually care about you. read more

Lively spot on Whitefish's Main Street and near the depot. Order at the bar or using the QR code. Nice (but limited) selection of local beers. Friendly staff at the bar. We tried the chop salad and Japanese fried sandwich. read more

Best beers I had in my trip through Bozeman, Helena, Kalispell, Whutefish , and Missoula. Every appetizer we ordered had a unique twist on the usual brewpub stuff. This is a top notch brewpub. read more

Drinks are good, and there is lots of seating capable of accomadating most needs! It seems to always be busy and the service slow. There is no full bar, but the beer/wine options are not too bad! read more

Stopped in for dinner and beer after a long day exploring Glacier. Pretty easy to order from your table using the QR code vs. ordering at the bar. We started with a pitcher of scotch ale, which arrived fast and was delicious. I had the cheeseburger and fries, while my wife had the falafel burger. My burger was perfect, while my wife's had almost no sauce and no other toppings. She went back for more sauce but didn't bother with the toppings. I'm not sure what the point is of asking for tips here, when everything you're getting is basically at the bar, unless you're getting it yourself. Oh well. read more

I gotta say this was a super solid place! The devil Smashburger was solid although a bit small, but those french fries take the cake because they're so crispy yet super light and airy. Their beer cheese chorizo was legit as a starter, and the chips were amazing, I know that sounds weird, but these are the OG Taqueria style chips. I recall getting in California as a kid that somehow disappeared, possibly due to governor newscum? I digress, this is a must stop place if you are in Whitefish, grab a brew and enjoy the scenery from the rooftop area. read more

Decided to go for a bite around 7:50 pm. Shared to order fast from the bartender). Which we did, they proceeded to wipe everything around us and put up stools. "obviously we didn't hang out" food was okay, could of been take out from McDonald's with a glass of bad wine.,, read more

Great food. Beer served is brewed by Jeremiah Johnson (and was great). Sat at the bar and had excellent service. Fantastic vibe overall. read more

We really enjoyed this restaurant twice last year during a visit. Unfortunately tonight was a huge disappointment. The food was ok and the ambiance is always upbeat, but we had no service to speak of and one person never ever received their meal even after asking 3 times for it. Hope we have a better experience next year, because we will not be coming back this visit. read more

You order on your phone and I ordered first at my table. We had a group of 9. Myself and the other burger ordered never came. My nephew went up to get his son's burger, it's supposed to be delivered to your table. My burger never came and twice I was told "we're very busy". I told them to take my burger off my bill, then maybe 5 minutes later they brought the wrong burger and no fries. When I went to the bar to make sure I wasn't charged, they did see my order and did take it off my bill. read more

I'll be honest, I didn't expect to love this place. It is large and just didn't give the vibes I usually am looking for. I was wrong. We started with a flight of beers to see what we wanted to hone in on. One sip of the Belgian Strong Ale and the Imperial Stout and we knew which pints we were ordering. Serious flavor and alcohol with those two so we dove into the food menu as well to balance it out. We ordered the chopped salad (curiously NOT chopped though ) and it was just ok. Weird veggies in there and just lacking in flavor as a result. We then ordered a smash bacon cheeseburger and a side of Brussels sprouts and those both hit the spot. Great service and a sweet bartender, a great night out in Whitefish! read more

Had the pleasure of sitting next to Jeremiah Johnson at the bar. Unbiased review: - Beer had solid hops and quality. Good variety if you are looking for flights this place checks the box. - Food took a little, but to be fair this place was packed, very much worth the wait once I received. - Bar tenders were friendly and kept me entertained as I traveled alone for this Biased Review: - Jeremiah is a great person (from my limited exposure) and genuinely cares about providing quality in all respects for his business. All in all this is a great piece of whitefish that was started by a hometown hero. Worth checking out. great modern aesthetics which can be hard to come by in breweries. If you hate it, worst case go to the rooftop and you have a beautiful view of the area! read more

Ordered the Japanese fried chicken sandwich...fire. Wish they had a side salad option that's not a caesar salad

Excellent pizza and Brussels sprouts. Service was good but I don't like how they (any establishment that serves food that is) asks for a tip when you're ordering at the bar. Not knowing if the food or service would be good, I'm inclined to give zero tip, but when the service and food is good, I want to tip extra. Besides that, the food was excellent, the staff very friendly. Really cool building and lots of games on to watch. We had a pizza that was delicious and Brussels sprouts. Good BUT very spicy. read more

Watched some Sunday football. Great selection of beer. High quality and enjoyable experience! Would go again.

Amazing spot to come and watch the sunset! Had the pretzel and a couple glasses of beer. The best part of it all, is our new friend Henry! He made it worth it. Certainly felt the hospitality. If you're reading this Henry, we tried to say goodbye but couldn't find you! read more

This is the best brewery in town! My daughter and I went twice during our short visit to Whitefish. The food was good and ordering was so easy and quick. Great service and we both loved the atmosphere. We will return if we find ourself in Whitefish again. read more

Not only is the beer good, the food is even better! The queso dip is addictive. they put chorizo in it. . . and oh my, is it soooo good! We also order the pretzel with dipping sauces. That pretzel was the side of a toddler. Crazy huge. Soft and delicious. We ordered several flights of beer. The beer her is very good. the service is set up really well. you grab a table (note the number) and head to the counter to place your order. They draw your beers on the spot and put in your food order and when food is ready, they bring it to your table. if you need to order more of anything, head to the bar again to place another order. The place has a lot of seating (2 levels) and has a nice ambiance. I most def recommend eating here!! read more

(I would highly suggest Mackenzie River across the street instead of this place. Great service, good value, and tasty food at a well-established restaurant at Mackenzie). Our first time at Black Star Brewery will be our last. Not greeted or acknowledged at any point. Ordered with a QR code with no one available to ask questions about their menu. Required tip at time of ordering and checking out online. 13 dollar burger was burnt and dry. The meat was at best 1/3 pound. Not a "smash burger" as described and unlike any that I have ever made or ate. It was just burnt. No fries or side came with burger for that price. The food runner appeared annoyed when we asked for ketchup. Napkin holders were dirty. Table and floors were dirty with food debris. Guacamole and chips were good. Iced tea had an off taste. No one came to check on our table (or any other table for that matter). Chopped salad was indeed not "chopped"- just big pieces. Bathroom was dirty. As a former server, I give grace to busy times, short staffed, new menu items, etc. This didn't seem to be the case- just a lack of training, staff, morale, and/or pride for the surroundings. 60 bucks for no service, a dirty restaurant, and subpar food. Super disappointing. read more

Every meal that you eat at a restaurant should be this good. Happy to pay the price that eating out costs these days when it is like that. We had beer that was the perfect temperature, a super fresh and delicious salad- not drowned by a high calorie dressing, and the spicy gochujang wings that were not overly spicy, a little crispy and also very fresh. Great ambiance as well and clean facilities. PS my husband calls me the pickiest person he knows... read more

Really love the feel of this place- great atmosphere and helpful staff. They would quickly clear dirty tables and answer questions if you had them. You can order using the QR code or at the bar. We ordered at the bar since our phones just haven't been working well here in Whitefish. Food was excellent- except for the gluten free bun. It was more like a biscuit and just crumbled as you tried to eat your burger. That is the reason for the 4 stars- paid extra and needed up leaving over half of it on the plate. Most of us had the smash burger, one person had the chicken (he loved it), good fries, try the Brussels sprouts if you like spicy- but the big winner was the pretzel! Beer was good! read more

This place has definitely been more consistent lately. As usual the saison was on point. The beer is always fantastic. The food, while not stellar, has been more consistent and a more reasonable value. The vibe has been more family friendly, too. Today they had a really great singer playing acoustic guitar and the music was heard through ALL the in-house speakers, with no audible house music, so...GOOD JOB, THANK YOU. I still wish they (and all places) would not play their music on speakers facing AWAY from the establishment. How did that become normalized? Anyway, great beer and great views! All the staff was super helpful this time especially the tattoo'd man and the quiet kid. read more

In theory I want to like this place but so many poor situations happened. We didn't receive half of our orders. We had to go up to the counter and ask 3-4 times. Then the WRONG order was delivered. After the rest of the family finished eating, we decided to just forgo the rest of the order since it still was not delivered. A Togo order that was placed at the beginning of the visit never came. One hour later and we are ready to go with no Togo order. So frustrating. Lastly, none of the cooks were wearing gloves. Just not very appealing to watch someone slap bacon and burgers together with bare hands. No one seemed to care about the service or our complaints. read more

This place was our favorite of the trip!! Food and drinks were great. Fantastic ambiance inside and the staff was super attentive and helpful. Would definitely go back! read more

A disappointing visit. Food was poor, service doesn't exist. But of course they ask for a tip up front when you order off a QR code from your table. read more
