I enjoyed this little cafe in Babb Montana Two hard working men was all i saw. The food was great the place was packed to the point that they would put a sign on the door telling want to eats that the place was at capacity and no more were allowed in. I had the Babb breakfast, 2eggs, toast, hash browns, with 2 sausage patties. They grind thier own sausage. The only thing I faulted was (and this is just me) the patties were a little dry. They were good , just dry for me. I would give more but only have 5 stars to give. Well done to the 2 gentlemen . read more

Everything here was amazing. It was just about time to switch to lunch so they offered us breakfast or lunch. We all decided on breakfast. Everyone fully enjoyed their meals and the service was awesome. The only downfall is the restaurant is small so I'm sure they fill up often. read more

Great food, fast service. Salad and salmon were delicious. Very convenient in park restaurant.

Excellent home cooked meals and genuine service. This is the best breakfast in St Mary's / Babb area outside of the lodges.

This little gem is in the middle of nowhere a nostalgic road diner fun decor very inviting. As soon you walk in you are greeted with a warm welcome and a smile. They are very proficient with their small staff. I had a Rueben my wife had a club sandwich they were large made with fresh ingredients. PS. there is a single unmanned gas pump must use credit card just south of the diner can come in handy. read more

A great little place to stop and grab breakfast. My normal place was not open at that time and this was suggested by a forestry division ranger. read more

This is a tourist dream! Huge portions of fantastic food. The staff is super friendly, and it is obviously that they cater to tourists. The restaurant has the feel of a 70's dinner. No frills but great food. We ate there every morning of our stay, doesn't disappoint. read more

The service was awesome and the food was very good. It's got a solid diner vibe, and the traditional breakfast options were very tasty. They told us that we were there the last day they were open for the season, on Sunday, September 22, 2024. read more

My friends and I were traveling and I desperately needed to use the bathroom. With the strength of 100 men, I took a massive duke in the pristine and cozy restroom. The soft toilet paper they had soothed my wounds and enabled me to continue pursuing my lengthy journey home. The woman there was very kind and let all of us use the bathroom. The food looked very good, and if I wasn't trying to remove food from my insides, I would partake. 5/5 would recommend read more

We've been traveling for over 4 weeks and it was our worst breakfast we've had. Condiments on table needed to be cleaned. Overall very disappointing read more

This aging diner was quaint. The food was good, if insufficiently seasoned. My over easy eggs had runny whites so a touch under cooked. The pancakes were giant. The waitress was friendly. Overall not bad. read more

Great place for breakfast! Open at 7 am, good food, reasonable prices, friendly staff. We drive 8 miles from St Mary to Babb just for early breakfast in the morning , especially on days we are hiking. read more

Great cuban, and excellent chicken sandwich. The staff were really friendly, and it's in a really scenic area. Definitely recommended when they're open again! read more

Excellent breakfast and service. Clean cafe. Great place to stop on way to the park. Service, quality and value far exceed the park lodges. read more

The service first, if you find yourself driving to Many Glacier or Lake Mary, stop at the Cafe. The staff is fabulous. The food is even better. We drove out of the park to eat there. The Veggie Hash browns are amazing. Hubby had the buttermilk pancake it was delicious. Treat your self to a later snack and ask for zucchini bread. The restaurant has a 50's look dinner to it, but look around the walls and check out the pictures of the town, restaurant and the store across the street. Thank you! read more

Our server was very attentive and kind. My husband's BLT salad was huge and looked great. He enjoyed it. I had the Mad Max burrito and it was tasty, but very messy. They really needed to drain the green chiles; the juice dripped out from the first bite. By the middle of the burrito, the bottom fell out and the contents were in my hand and on my plate. The salsa was tasty, as were the burrito fillings. My daughter loved her burger, and I appreciated that they were able to give her a side of tomatoes so she got some veggies. My son liked his chicken fingers and coleslaw, but found the BBQ sauce unpalatable (he's never done that before!). The server got our drink refills to go since we were finished with our food, which we really appreciated! Everything was clean and the bathrooms were good. read more

This cafe is a hidden gem near many glacier. I had the Gibbie wrap and the ingredients were so fresh. Also the apple pie tastes like home made right out of the oven. Really impressed with the food and the staff was super nice. Definitely will be coming back for a couple meals here. Good price, better ingredients read more

Loved this place! Glacier's Edge Cafe was right up my alley.....exactly what I was looking for on my way towards crossing the US - Canada border and onto Waterton National Park. I was actually looking for a quaint and quiet little breakfast spot before starting my day, and actually, randomly stumbled upon this place. And I was quite happy I did. The moment I saw this restaurant from the side of the road....I knew what this place was all about. Glacier's Edge Cafe is the ultimate diner/ "mom and pop" stop for a comforting homemade meal. It's located abut 10 miles north of the St. Mary eastern entrance of Glacier National Park. And, situated immediately off Highway 89 headed north....it can't be missed. I arrived here about 7am. I stepped inside, took my own seat at a booth by the window. There was 1 waitress attending the whole restaurant with 1 gentleman behind the scenes cooking the food. It was real easy to recognize, this place oozed simplicity. There's plenty of countertop space for those who'd like to sit up front. For me....I was in no rush while sitting down at a table. I must say...something about this place....just gazing out the window onto the road....I was quite refreshingly rejuvenated while eating here and knowing I was continuing my journey into Canada and Waterton....I felt quite humbled within my travels here at Glacier and beyond. It was quite a reflective moment for me, lol. The menu was easy. A handful of items to choose from. I picked The Western Omelette which came with hashbrowns and toast for $11.95. Btw, the omelette consisted of onions, green peppers, ham and cheddar. In all, there were 6 omelette styles to choose from. They also offered the usual stuff like biscuits and gravy, pancakes, breakfast sandwiches....etc. Breakfast is served until 11am. In all, my service was quick and efficient. My omelette tasted just fine....hash browns were good....I had no complaints, lol. For me, most importantly was the atmosphere here at Glacier's Edge Cafe. The setting was so typical of your classic blue collar diner. I couldn't have asked for a better start to my day! For anyone out there who'll happen to be heading to Waterton National Park and needs a breakfast place to get their day started, I absolutely recommend Glacier's Edge Cafe. It's real simple home cooked food and ideally located off the road in Babb, Montana.....10 miles north of St. Mary and 10 miles south of the US - Canada border. read more

This cute little establishment was quite the relief and refreshing experience of a quaint little rural town café should be, rather than we experienced the day before (See my review of Johnson's at St. Mary's). Immediately upon entering the diner we were warmly greeted by the staff and sat down immediate. The server was friendly and personable. The food was comforting as to what you would expect diner food to be, not disappointing at all, and definitely worth the price you paid for it. We left satisfied and happy. I would definitely recommend the huckleberry shake if you go there. Delicious! Friendly employees, good food, and we left with a wonderful memory. Definitely would eat there again! Go give it a try. read more

We spent the night in Cardston on our way to Whitefish this past summer and decided to make a stop for breakfast once we crossed in to the US. Our stop at Glacier's Edge Cafe was a bit random, but we're glad we stopped. A very run of the mill looking roadside diner , we sat at the counter and had an awesome breakfast that was the perfect start to our day. Service was friendly, coffee was good, and food was served fast, hot and tasty. I had the Cattle Grazer Burrito (eggs, marinated steak, green chilies and peppers) and was impressed. Everyone else had omelettes and loved theirs as well. A great breakfast stop with reasonable prices! read more

Great food and the BEST servers. Consistent quality on the food and amazing service! PERFECT diner setting for the whole family.

Such a cute little cafe, very welcoming to travelers! We had breakfast twice on our stay near Babb. Burritos, omelette, pancakes, and French toast....all were great! read more

I went here for breakfast and had a great experience. I got the morning muffin which was an egg on an English muffin with your choice of meat (I got the bacon). It also came with hashbrowns. Service was great and the restaurant was clean. I will definitely return! read more

Cute little breakfast place. There are booths in the front room along with stools at the bar, but there are also extra tables in the back dining room. We ordered buttermilk pancakes (huge!!!) and biscuits with gravy. Both were very satisfying. Service was wonderful and food came out quickly. We left stuffed and satisfied! read more

Nice place to eat. Good staff and the food was excellent. Ate there twice. Very friendly.

*NOT IN THE LOCATION YELP TELLS YOU IT IS.* It is across from thronson's general store and by a Sinclair gas station. We got there by finally typing it into google maps. Good portions for the money. Good burritos! read more

What a great find!! We did breakfast one stop and lunch another. Between the 4 of us we had omelettes, fried hashbrown scramble adding an egg and burritos. Good size portions for the price & location. Great flavor!! For the lunch stop we had huge salads, southwestern chicken and chicken bacon ranch salad and a club sandwich. All very good and good portions if you're hungry for the price. Homemade breads & cinnamon rolls also. Thanks guys!! Great job for such a busy location. read more

We stopped here for lunch when we were driving between St Mary's and Many Glacier. We chose it based on the Yelp reviews and were not disappointed. Although we arrived just at lunchtime, there were two tables available and the friendly waitress invited us to choose one. The price points are pretty fair, given what it takes to run a restaurant (successfully) in a less populated area. The service was quick and accurate and the food was good. read more

Excellent sandwiches and service. It's not high end, or particularly striking inside, but it's a good place to fuel up before tackling the Road to the Sun. read more

I really don't get the "hidden gem" thing about this place. Thronsons across the street is a hidden gem, but this diner left a lot to be desired, despite the dearth of places to eat on the East side of GNP. The service was downright hateful and rude and left a nastier taste in our mouths than the cardboard-textured/tasting cold hash browns . The eggs were so inconsistent--either overcooked or undercooked. The bacon was decent, as was the coffee. Our server seemed annoyed at the world, so we tried to not be too demanding, but she didn't even give us napkins or utensils without having to flag her down. The only time she checked on us was when she dropped the check, and when we told her about the food she told us that salt and pepper were on the table (huh?). I get that folks around GNP get sick of annoying tourists, esp in August, do something else if you don't like interacting with people! That, or treat people kindly and you may end up creating a terrific experience for yourself and your guests in the process. read more

We stopped at Glacier's Edge after hiking the Grinnell trail and we're not disappointed. Sarah, Ron and Griddie all work hard and put out quality food. Lunch was great, good selection of wraps and sandwiches. Definitely worth the stop and they do a good job of COVID distancing and cleaning. read more

Seeing 5 roaches gets an auto 1 star review. Had I not seen any roaches I'd have given it 3 Stars. The salad was pretty sad with wilted lettuce. Our son said the burger was good. Other son said said his BLT was good. read more

Everyone is very friendly and fast service. We had a ceaser salad and ruban sandwhich which both were excellent. I would highly recommend this place. read more

My family of 6 came to this restaurant based on the reviews from Yelp. We were seated quickly but waited a bit before being given menus and then again before getting drinks. We were told the fryer was down and that they were out of potato salad so our options for a side were limited to tortilla chips, cottage cheese or coleslaw. We placed our order and after a pretty lengthy wait again, finally got our food. Four of the six meals were pretty good-pulled pork sandwich, grilled chicken wrap and turkey Rueben-but the steak on my sons wrap was really overdone and my pastrami rueben was definitely on the burnt side and very dry. I was so hungry from hiking and waiting so long that I didn't complain but I was definitely disappointed, especially given the price of the meals. No way was my sandwich worth the $14. To top it off, when my hubby went to pay the bill, the gratuity for 18% was already added on and couldn't be changed. Don't know if that's for all the bills there or just us because we were a party of 6, but would have been nice to have been told that ahead of time if that was the case. I understand staffing is really tough everywhere and our waitress looked like the only one working, but it was a lot longer than we'd planned to break for lunch and quality of food was sub par. I would not recommend. read more

Great breakfast burritos big portion got pork chilies delicious! Iced coffee also really great

Opened up Yelp just to sing praises of Glacier's Edge Cafe. My father and I spent five days, four nights in Glacier National Park. Hiking roughly twelve miles daily, we came into lunch hungry as a bear. There's little choice of selection for diners near Glacier. Little cafes dot Highway 89 while some food resides in St. Mary, but pickings remain slim. Blind as a bat with a tourist's sense of direction, we decided on the aptly-named Glacier's Edge Cafe for our first lunch. Perhaps guardian angels guided us, maybe fate had a week of shining glory, or God erred on the side of good deeds. Whatever the cause, I humbly thank whatever divine force directed us to this hidden gem nestled in Babb. Two Diet Pepsis, a Cuban, and a chicken salad later, two satiated individuals reflected on perhaps the most enjoyable lunch of their year-to-date. My cuban was perfect, with a flawless pickle-to-cheese ratio complemented by a savory sauce. The protein, a mixture of ham and turkey from what I recall, seamlessly blended with the saline pickle and melted cheese for, to put it bluntly, a goddamn good sandwich. We ate lunch there for the entirety of our trip. It was simply too good to pass up! read more

A great small town cafe!!! I was initially disappointed since they just stopped serving breakfast. we had their coffee which was robust and not bitter. I also recommend their philly sandwich and thick tortilla soup. I would come back in a heart beat. read more

My husband and I had breakfast at the cafe. The omelettes were good and came with hash browns and your choice of bread. The service was good as well. I'd would recommend this restaurant. read more
