We tried to give them warning, but we basically took over the bar area tables to get us all sat. The divide and conquer was fine and pretty easy. The quality of food was as expected, and came out as soon as it was ready versus waiting till everything was ready at once

Huckleberry breeze - yumm! Really flavorful…read more Huck mojito - very minty which was fantastic!! Prefer this one. Hot Hawaiian pizza - 5 stars! Original crust has excellent flavor and texture (chewy) and pizza is superb. Sauce is reminiscent of BBQ pizza sauce but the jalapeños add some depth with heat and the pineapple adds a touch of sweet. Perfectly balanced. Smokehouse burger - heard it was very good! Fries are great - crunchy and flavorful. Beet salad was also good re wifey. Pro tip - ranch is extra good here so great to dip food items in! Place is clean, staff is friendly and attentive. Can't ask for more, and food is top notch!

The inside is a bit tight and outdoor seating is available but due to wildfire smoke we couldn't sit outside. We had a young man named McCoy who was working with mom to earn some money and honestly this made the whole visit worth it. The food was on par for a diner. The coffee was good and the scrambled eggs my husband got were perfectly done. My burger was tasty and they have good ranch dressing IYKYK we will visit again when we are back in town!

Moved to the Polson area from LA about a year ago. We love the area but are always looking for good…read morelocal food. Pops Grill had over 4 stars on google and the pictures of the food looked good. So with excitement and high expectations we went for lunch. Bad decision. My daughter and I had cheese burgers and our buns were charred to the point of being burned on the underside but actually cold on the top sides. Our fries were cold and limp. The melted cheese on the burgers look like it had melted on the day before. My wife had the French toast. It looked like it had been deep fried, again looked like food from the previous day. Not the soft and lightly browned French toast at most other places. Bottom line food was terrible and will never go back again. Darn, had hoped of finding a decent place to eat locally. Will keep searching.

I've become a regular at The Shoe, and it continues to impress me every time I visit. My go-to…read moreorder is the grilled salmon, and the risotto that accompanies it deserves special recognition. It's flavorful and complements the fish perfectly. It's one of those side dishes that could easily stand on its own. Another favorite is the coconut shrimp. Sometimes I order it as an appetizer, and other times I make it my entire meal because it's that good. Crispy, flavorful, and consistently well prepared the marmalade dipping sauce makes it so delightful. I appreciate that The Shoe embraces its Montana roots with farm-to-table bison burgers and steaks. It's a great way for locals and visitors alike to experience something uniquely Montana while enjoying a quality meal. Oh, and western fanatics definitely check out the 'Lonesome Dove' decor! It's so fun and done with taste, I love the horseshoe chandeliers too! What really stands out, though, is the service. The servers are always friendly, attentive, and genuinely seem to care about creating a great experience. The restaurant is busy nearly every time I'm there, which says a lot in itself, yet the staff handles the crowds with professionalism and efficiency. I noticed some older reviews mentioning wait times, but those seem outdated. The most recent of those was many months ago, and from what I've experienced, it looks like they've built a strong team that consistently delivers both excellent food and excellent service. If you're in Polson and looking for a restaurant with great food, friendly staff, and a true Montana feel with an epic view of Flathead Lake, The Shoe is absolutely worth a visit.

Haven't been here since 2020. Came for prime rib and it did not disappoint. Arrived at 7 pm. Most…read morerestaurants don't have rare prime rib at this time. However this place had it and it was fantastic. Comes with two sides so we had a baked potato and risotto. Our server Sophie was fairly new and had the bartender open a bottle of Josh cabernet . It was great and complimented our entree. We shared the dinner and it was way enough. Generally when dining at our areas where we live we bring our own wine and pay a corkage Generally 10 to 15 dollars and 25 at high end establishments. I asked and their corkage is $35. Obviously not familiar with how things work. A corkage makes up for trouble of storing and serving wine. $35 is ludicrous and not productive to profit management. However run your business the way you want. Great views and atmosphere.
