Wonderful people and food! Live music and two stages, one inside and one outside! Owner is great!

Great food, cool story for the owners. Takes a bit of time because they hand-make EVERYTHING (like breading the chicken strips) to order...makes it amazing! Absolutely stop by if around. read more

Cougar Canyon Cafe - Fire Burger...it's HUGE!! - Salad Near Me - Monarch, Montana

Cool bar!!! Good food nice staff. I enjoy the burgers and mozzarella sticks here, good prices on beer!! Happy hour buy one get one half off ! read more

Service is horrible. The owner is rude and does not help his staff! Over price with the worst and rude services ever!!! It' sad as this place could be amazing. Given so many chances to give them the benefit of the doubt. The owner only caters to customers he is friends with!!!! Will never go back.if I could give negative stars that would a better option read more

Not a place to go for food. Jalapenos poppers can out frozen. Tater tots camp out cold asked for new one and never got them.

Just decided to run up to Monarch to have some lunch. Glad we did. Really enjoyed our burgers. Nice atmosphere. Will be going again soon enough. read more

Cougar Canyon Cafe - a view of the outside of the restaurant - Salad Near Me - Monarch, Montana

Great place for a quick bite. Great service and the food was delicious. Recommended for any time of the year. The bacon sunrise burger was off the hook. The cook actually came out to our table and asked us what cheese we wanted on it. read more

Cougar Canyon Cafe - a t - shirt hanging on a tree - Salad Near Me - Monarch, Montana

Stopped for lunch. They have a new chef and are planning a new menu soon. Can't wait to try it. As always, the burger was delicious. But we also tried the soup, since soup tells all about a chef. The posole was wonderful, better than we had in New Mexico. read more

LODGE CUSTOMERS BEWARE!!!! I brought my mom here for a quick overnight getaway to relax and enjoy the mountains. We went to check in and they didn't have my paperwork though I paid online. No big deal, I just filled it out. The lady at check in (super nice and super friendly) gives me one key and said "he" someone else, I assume the maintenance man, had the other one. So, we go on a drive, go back to the bar and order dinner. After we get back to the room and eat, I go sit on the bed and look over and see a needle/syringe laying on the ground right under the furnace. This was completely shocking, uncomfortable and downright DISGUSTING!!! The maintenance man comes in, picks up the syringe, opens it and looks at it like it was nothing!!! He asked if we want another room and at that point I was NOT staying there!!! He even made a point to mention "we have had some crazy people staying here". My mom and I loaded up our stuff as quick as we could and got out of there! While they gave us a refund, the lack of concern on the staff's part was downright concerning and again, disgusting!!!!! The lady bartender was amazing and while we were there. Great customer service and so personable. I just thank God we didn't have a young kid with us that found this and GOD FORBID contracted something. We ended up driving an hour back home after 9pm because we were so freaked out! BE CAREFUL!!!! read more

Went here on a very busy Memorial Day! Staff was very friendly and attentive. We enjoyed the cozy environment and food was delicious. The outside patio was open, being enjoyed by all! We will definitely be back and recommend this place without hesitation! read more

I've been coming to Cougar Canyon formerly known as Cubs Den for over 50 years. Always a pleasant visit. Haven't been for several years until tonight. Stopped by with my gorgeous wife and friends. Reacquainted with owners Rick and Kathy hailing from Minnesota. I had the spaghetti and meat balls and Cami the fried chicken. Or meals were the best. Prices very reasonable for being so far away from their food source. Rick and Kathy have done an incredible job improving this place. He has some great plans. We'll be back many times this summer. The mountain atmosphere is the best. read more

Great service and a very homey setting. Food is very hearty and filling. Drinks were good and never empty. They make an apple dumpling and if you get it I highly recommend the scoop of vanilla on top. read more

Great food. Go for the spaghetti and for dessert, the apple tart. As of 1/2014, the place is closed and awaiting reopen under new ownership. Keep your fingers crossed! read more

Glad they are located where they are!! Perfect stop for lunch... special was fried chicken and it was DELICIOUS!! Cooked to perfection!! They have a kids menu also!! Waitress/ bartender was not at all friendly, but I left 20% for the cook!! read more

You can safely eat here, and the cafe help (Evan, totally cool), drink selection and the food are very good in the cafe, seriously, I would eat there again. But the "Lodge": It smells very bad as soon as you walk in the door, and it has some other serious issues (I won't speculate for the record what's going on there), and, I definitely wouldn't book a room there unless you like stinky dives (one consolation, the bed was relatively new and comfortable, and I would have slept well if it wasn't for the overpowering odors (that's odors plural - septic but not so much sulfur (maybe related to the septic sump with grinder pump that operated throughout the night?); ammonia perhaps? formaldehyde? dead animal(s)? lots of chlorine; a heavy wisp of mildew: some kind of pine deodorant in a jar) in the room that you couldn't ventilate out the windows, and the soviet era space heater that rattled like a 1950's farm implement...). read more

Probably the worst meal I've ever paid for. They serve no salads or chicken. Skip on down the road to Neihart (10 miles) to Bob's Bar for real food. read more
