The food was delicious, but our waitress took a very long time to take our order. The place was not too busy bc we came at 4pm

Fish and Chips. Parmesan Garlic Fries
Amy T.

Came in at 11:30 right at opening. Service was great-- awesome server Amanda. Atmosphere is really fitting for a rustic upscale grill. The food was pretty good. Unique menu. Got pork belly with Korean bbq appetizer. It was good. 7/10. You have to like Korean flavors. I ordered the fish and chips for Meal. Fish was breaded well and tasted good. 6.8/10. The fries were good. The plate just lacked some flavor overall. Many wine choices and draft beer options available. Prices are higher for lunch but overall I would give this grill a 7.5/10

New York with fries.

We had visited in the past before the name change and enjoyed our visit. We tried the place again for dinner only to find to a limited menu which only included high dollar items. One party member ordered the walnut salad only to find no walnuts. When brought up the staff had to find out from the kitchen they were out of walnuts. It was discounted 20% after we mentioned the discrepancy, but they were happy to serve it without the main ingredient. When ordering a $35 New York strip blackened it was noted that they rarely do it and it'll be up to the kitchen. While they did it and it was well done it was off putting to question the request. It was a very expensive experience without the accommodation that price point usually entails. It was a good meal, but for the price was poor value. The restaurant aims to be something it doesn't deliver on. Consider a more established steakhouse for dinner.

Good beer selection

Just had a beer ! Looks great in here, love the atmosphere, good selection of beers and the menu looks delicious. Coming from a former employee of the last name, this is a significant improvement ! I will be coming back with an appetite.

We came here while in town for a wedding. The service was great. The place was packed on a Monday…read morenight. I had the sirloin with mushrooms. It was done perfectly. It came with a salad and Texas toast and a table shared plate of spaghetti. My husband's pork chop was tasty, too. They have a decent wine and beer list, too.

Worst filet mignon I have ever had…read more I don't say this lightly, but this was honestly one of the worst meals I have ever had at a steakhouse. I eat A LOT of filet mignon, so I know what I expect from this cut of beef, especially when I am paying $44 for an 8 oz filet. The filet came with garlic toast, a side salad, and a bowl of spaghetti for the table. I also added a side of mashed potatoes for another $5. I ordered my filet medium, just like I always do, and while it did come out medium, it was completely dry with absolutely no juice. Even after adding a liberal amount of salt and pepper, it was unbelievably bland. I have never had a filet mignon that I needed to put steak sauce on just to be able to chew and swallow it...EVER. At first I thought maybe I had just gotten a bad filet, but my husband's was the same way. For $5, I expected the mashed potatoes to at least be real potatoes and a decent-sized serving. Instead, they tasted like instant potatoes and the entire serving was about the size of one small ice cream scoop. Then I tried the spaghetti, hoping the sauce might be amazing. If that wasn't Ragu or something extremely similar, I would be shocked. There was nothing about it that tasted like the kind of homemade sauce I was expecting. The rest of the menu and experience were disappointing as well. There was no bread brought to the table, there were no appetizers on the menu, and we were told none of the desserts were made in-house. What was especially strange was that the lady at the table next to us ordered salmon. Salmon was nowhere on the menu we were given, nor was it ever mentioned or offered to us. Apparently there were options available that we had no way of knowing about. Even the presentation of the filet was disappointing. It came out on one of those old-style metal hot plates that reminded me of the plates Mexican restaurants used to serve enchiladas on. Our waitress also never asked us to cut into our steaks to make sure they were cooked correctly, which is something I normally expect when ordering steak at a steakhouse. The one genuinely good thing I can say about my meal was the house-made ranch dressing on the side salad. It was very good. The garlic toast was fine, but certainly not enough to make up for everything else. I was incredibly let down. I went in expecting an amazing filet mignon, especially with the advertised Montana beef, and this was absolutely not it. For the price of this meal, I expected a completely different level of quality. Overall, this was a one-star experience for me, and that one star belongs to the salad and the house-made ranch.

Stopped by here for a quick lunch after seeing some great reviews online. They had just opened when…read morewe arrived and so we had the place to ourselves for a bit. The atmosphere is very laid back: good music, bright and eclectic decor, and seating ranging from lounge to high-top. The menu is easy to read and enjoyable while you're selecting your drink. I was very impressed with their high end cocktail selection. We ordered a margarita and an old fashioned to start. Both drinks were meticulously crafted and were bright and refreshing. We opted for food and ordered the jerk tacos and nachos. The food was great and we ended up ordering another round as well as a bottle of their Contraband Whiskey to go. Service, ambience, drinks, and food were all excellent. I highly recommend this spot for a nice lunch or dinner.

I would take one anytime. We bought a bottle to take home. The cinnamon and apple notes was one of a kind fall flavors all around. I was even offered a free Bag of chips. Great cook! The small homey Feel is Nice comforting makes one want to relax.. I like the copper bar. Negatives; Ordered 1 drink .I was the only order. She forgot I told her a second time. She pulled glasses down and again forgot why. She is a nice girl The bartender wore an extremely tight cropped top cut down the middle. with her chest hanging out. Filtering with my date. Even saying I put lipstick on to get free drinks. She made me insecure, uncomfortable and being on a First date set the stage For me to act sexual to get his attention away from the flirty bartender. Yea she is cute sure she is an amazing. If you want female client please have them Do there job not giving men a Show. I would 100% recommend! go for the drinks and burgers if You are looking for A crafted spirit they hot the bar. Or flirty bartender

We like our steaks cooked differently and sometimes that seems to be a challenge for other steakhouses, but Buchanan's got it absolutely right! My husband's ribeye was perfectly cooked between medium and medium rare as he prefers, and my filet mignon was medium to medium well, just the way I like it. The steaks were accompanied by garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli - all cooked to perfection. The toffee pudding dessert was a mouthwatering finish to a fantastic meal. The service was excellent - all of the staff that we interacted with were friendly, professional and attentive. The restaurant was bustling but we were never ignored. The ambiance was cool, with historic photos and comfortable seating. We will return every time we visit Whitefish. We can't wait to bring our son and spend some time at the whisky bar.

The chef prepared a beautiful confit cauliflower dish with black garlic purée, toasted pine nuts, and pickled huckleberries that was both creative and delicious. The salmon with huckleberry sauce, rice, and sautéed broccolini was also excellent and showcased local flavors well. If you're looking for a restaurant with attentive service and a team that's happy to accommodate special requests, Buchanan's Chop House is well worth a visit.
