There is a reason this place has been around so long - good cooking made and served with love. Huge variety on the menu, so there is something here for everyone. My wife was wanting a home cooked type meal after we had been on the road for 10 days or so. We try to avoid restaurant chains when we travel, so this place fit the bill perfectly! We were a bit overwhelmed with the choices on the menu, so we sent the waitress away a couple of times be fore finally ordering. We were lucky to have one of those waitresses that was well experienced and offered some suggestions on popular dishes. I ordered the suggested pan fried Alaskan cod and baked potato with a delicious dinner salad and loved the taste and presentation. We finished by splitting a slice of homemade chocolate cream pie that was amazing! Great place - a MUST try! read more

Great food, friendly staff, good prices. Always left overs. Coming back for more!

Wonderful down home service. Good food, good portions. Not fancy but definitely delicious.

A great accidental find! Super friendly staff, fresh salads, good food, and a nice vibe. I stopped in for a bite and to kill some time waiting for a flight out of Glacier International Airport (FCA). I had the chicken fried steak with bacon/jalapeño gravy and ... tater tots (mashed potato, baked potato, or fries were the other options ... I just can't remember the last time I had tater tots these tots were crispy on the outside - the way they're meant to be) Obviously all homemade and I could have sucked that gravy down with a boba straw. It was good. Chased it down with their pistachio cream pie. Another winner. Can't wait to try their take on the banana or coconut next time. I noticed there were a few regulars that must go in on a daily basis. Two had the meatloaf special. I'll be looking more closely at that next time I'm in the area. Stop by if you're in the area. Apparently, the best prime rib Friday and Saturday. (See sign) read more

It's ramshackle but the people are great and the food is decent at a fair price. I drive by a lot of places to eat hash and eggs here and I've served 25 million breakfasts in Las Vegas. It's the diner I grew up with in 1969. read more

Always excellent food and professional service. I recommend Cislos every time someone is looking for a great place to go.

Not sure what all the hype was about on all the other reviews, seems like a really busy place so we are hoping the reviews were accurate, but was sorely disappointed. Hubby had the French dip, the meat tasted and look like it came out of a package was dry and had that packaged meat flavor. I had some sort of a grilled turkey sandwich on a ciabatta roll. ciabatta roll was extremely dry and the turkey was dryer making it very very difficult to swallow. The service was excellent, but I wouldn't go back read more

Cislos is a great spot for some classic diner food in a setting that makes you feel like you are among family. The restaurant is small and busy with a menu full of diner classics like breakfast platters, hot sandwiches and fried sides. I had a classic BLT which came with side options including fries, onion rings and, unusually, cottage cheese. I went with the onion rings, which went well with the crisp BLT and thick cut bacon. Service was friendly and speedy. I particularly liked that a jug of water was provided rater than having to ask for refills. read more

Was a great Friday night dinner. The staff gave us a floor show. Food is outstanding. Will be back soon read more

Cislo's Family Restaurant - American Near Me - Kalispell, Montana

This restaurant was a delightful reprieve from the standard burger/pizza/sandwich/beer places that are so pervasive in the area. It is an old fashioned diner with great food and service. I had liver and onions, and hubby had a (real) chicken fried steak. The mashed potatoes were the real thing too. The homemade pies were made this morning and were delicious. The cream of tomato soup was really good, and the side salad was fresh and generous. It all came with friendly smiles too. We will surely eat there again before we head back to Texas. read more

Hot food. Cooked as we like it. Big portions. The food is worth the wait. Friendly service. They help each other out. The building is bigger than it looks. Will be coming back. Remember Saturday is prime rib night. read more

Three stars at best. It's pretty much Denny's. Very nice staff though. Have no idea how it got listed as Italian, there's nothing Italian about it except the salad dressing and the kids "pizza." read more

Worst prime rib in the valley! Don't listen to the sign! Over cooked on a flat top grill!

We were on our way home from Glacier National Park and decided to stop in for a late breakfast. Delicious breakfast and lunch! By far the best chicken fried steak I've had! Husband had biscuits and gravy, we will definitely be back next time we are in town! read more

Great place for breakfast. Me and some friends were looking for a breakfast place before our flight back to Seattle and ended eating up at Cislos since its so close to the airport. Food was great, service was exceptional and the prices were decent. I got the strawberry waffles and my wife got biscuit and hash browns with gravy ( white gravy without sausage, vegetarian). Both were pretty good. The portion size on biscuit and gravy was huge (we ordered the large portion but didn't expect it to be this large ). Large selection for egg and meat eaters. read more

We are in Kalispell from Canada. Loved seeing a full parking lot, but don't worry, there's plenty of parking! We enjoyed a late breakfast and loved everything about Cislos. I had the meat lovers skillet and the hubby devoured the the kitchen special omelette with a massive pancake instead of hash browns and toast. The food came out fast and hot! Our coffee cups were always topped up and the service was super quick and friendly. We loved seeing the obvious regulars come in and exchange friendly banter with the staff. read more

I had the chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes, with salad, the salad was nice size and very fresh. Chicken fried steak was large and cooked perfect the potatoes and gravy were good but could of used little more seasoning, but I would order again. My husband had fried chicken and French fries large portion and cooked perfect he enjoyed it very much. Service was fast and friendly and bathrooms were clean, all the food that went by looked very good, I would eat there again if in the area. read more

Not a bad place to eat, gets busy really quick. Came here twice while visiting family. Food is good for that diner experience. A little outdated, but i think it works for the Area, it is Montana! Waitresses were very nice and coffee never went empty. Breakfast was delicious, but the kitchen could use a little help. We sat at the counter and I work in the field of food, won't say exactly. But the tall cook, blonde needs to work on better cleanliness techniques when handling food. Just because your wearing a pair of gloves doesn't mean it's for everything your handling, like duh, right! And what's with the grabbing of the owner's butt while your working? Yes I asked one of the waitresses and she was like "OMG" and didn't know what to say. It was obvious from sitting at the counter, she definitely was after her boss, yikes. Get a room, well after your done eatting! read more

Simple and tasty diner food. Great spot for breakfast for those who believe it's the most important meal of the day and like good variety of classics. read more

Kalispell was packed with late middle aged bikers and families featuring misbehaving children. We wanted something simple for dinner that we didn't have to wait over an hour to get. I get the feeling we would have liked breakfast more, but we were satisfied with our meal, and we got it quickly at Cislo's. read more

Small and crowded, but the food is Excellent and the service is great! definitely a go-to place for an awesome meal.

If you're looking for good food and a very reasonable price, absolutely awesome service look no further. My wife ordered the chicken fried steak and it was so big she could not finish it, I had liver and onions and it was fabulous! I highly recommend. Going to try the breakfast later this week. They advertise that they have the best prime rib on Friday and Saturday. I only wish I was going to be here on the weekend! read more

Had their prime rib they brought the salad in the prime rib together the prime rib was cold so I advised the waitress to take it back. Request the manager and the manager argued that I still had to pay for it. I I told him to call the sheriffs department because I was not going to pay for it. He said fine took the prime rib back and I left. read more
