For a very rural Montana restaurant this place is excellent. As a local I frequent this place. Good prices, great quality, good service and reasonable prices as long as you keep in mind that being remote means labor is in short supply along with most supplies. They do the best they can . read more

Ambience, service and food all are excellent. Must visit when in the area. Been going there for years and really enjoy it in recent years. read more

Need a new waitress, I have worked in nothing but great restraint all over the world. I have never been treated so rudely, I work 20 years in Las Vegas,She would not have lasted a week, no matter what you have to treat people like you care about every customer.I would never ever go back, I've heard from quite a lot of people who've she has been rude too. By the way she owns the place, so no satisfactory. read more

Excellent food from Prime Rib, pizza, burgers,etc. Prime rib on Friday and Saturday. Rick and Deb the owners are always great hosts. Service is friendly. Takes a bit longer to cook fresh food and the little bit longer is worth it. Sit down tables, bar area with tables, outside seating as well. Bar area is a mix of Montana bar and tiki bar vibe. Cold brews are great. Always a great spot to stop for a bite! read more

5 stars is not enough. Super friendly staff, beautiful location. But the food, the food was so delicious. I had the hang over burger. It was so good, I almost cried. My family also had the grilled cheese(with bacon!!!) and the dessert was so yummy. They had a huckleberry creme brulee. It was sublime. And the strawberry rhubarb pie was huge and so delicious. If you are ever in the Swan Valley in Montana, you NEED to go to the Hungry Bear. read more

Had the strawberry fields salad small size and BOY was it huge??? It was so delicious and filling I couldn't finish it all. Also had the soup of the day which was the broccoli asparagus and cheddar soup, it had a super smoky and delicious flavor, was piping hot. The inside was quiet and cozy, like being in a cabin, it was beautiful to see the foggy forest in the back. Service was exceptional, we had Leah take over from a wonderful woman who I forgot her name but both were super awesome and sweet. Genuinely recommend the fantastic food, service, and environment even just to visit. Love from Arizona! read more

We were traveling and in need of a lunch stop. There is not a lot in the area so Hungry Bear won by default. We were very pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. We are a party of 4 and everyone raved about their food. I got the french dip. It was real roast beef and it was delicious. My youngest son got the pizza burger, which was huge. My older son got the Italian sandwich. He loved it. My husband ordered a pizza, also a winner according to him. I didn't try anyone else's food so I have to take their word for it. Great place, nice atmosphere, friendly service, and delicious food. read more

Tasty food, beautiful country view. Our route took us through the country with not many dinner options and this place was great. They were a little busy so the food took a while but everyone was pleased! read more

A rural restaurant really involved in his community and has some of the best prime rib I've had in decades, Friday and Saturday nights. The interior of the restaurant gives the most inviting feel that you would ever experience. read more

Power went out shortly after we ordered and got our drinks. Oh well haha. The bad part was our server. She couldn't answer a question about an item on the menu ( maybe go ask the owner who was there or the cook ????? ) She never came over ( or the owner ) to tell us anything about status of order. They were still cooking other orders using propane. After 10 minutes we asked. Her response was well we lost power.so I said yes I realize that, but is there any part of our order that we will get? She says I don't know. so then I asked Can you please go check with somebody ? then she came back and said well we can do the sandwiches but we can't do the other things. Can't judge the food obviously but at least she could have not charged us for drinks, offered a salad instead? We were basically ignored. All attention was on the bar side which was packed. Since we live in the area we MAY try it again but I doubt it read more

Best wings I've ever had Pizza is amazing but prime rib on Friday and Saturday nights is a can't miss. read more

I have gone to the Hungry Bear many times. Last Saturday night was the best service we have ever had. It seems they have hired two women and they were doing a great job! Most of our party had prime rib and it was good. This is really the only game in town so at least they have good food and now better service. read more

Don't go there on the weekend, 1.5 hrs to get food. First off all the ma'trede was defensive, like he had been getting shit all night about the poor service and food quality. He never smiled, etc. We should have left at that point. 2 of us mistakenly got their pizza, it was like eating a frozen pizza with extra cheese add. We ordered thin crust and got thick crust. Told the waitress, and she blew it off, apologizing. Eating 3 pieces would have been equivalent to eating a golf loaf of bread. I should have insisted on a thin crust pizza when i saw this huge slab of bread with cheese and sauce., but I bet they didn't really have it. It was a bar pizza, prefabricated crust made somewhere else. Before ordering I asked the waiter if the pizza was good. She said yes. I believed her, dang it should have got the BLt. I'm sure the wait staff had to be ready to quit, what a nightmare to wait on customers who have been waiting a hour and a half to eat. At least what they could have done was buy our soft drinks, or my grandsons vanilla ice cream. read more

Great salad. Really. Lots of fresh, yummy, complementary ingredients. Fries and pizza were also delish.

We left glacier national area because of whitewater rafting and needed to find a place to eat (that was still open) on the way to Billings, Montana. This was the only place open but also the only place that my family and I would have been happy with. The service is slightly slow but it makes sense due to short staffing and the connected bar on the left of the establishment. However, the food and the friendliness of our server were both great (especially at the lateness of our visit; maybe an hour before they closed and we left right when they closed their restaurant). My parents ate a single order of the large tacos with their serving of tortilla chips and salsa and could barely finish their food. They bought the tacos with BBQ pork and it was cooked perfectly; no dryness, no pink, and had a lot of flavor. I got the Western Burger, which has a 1/4 ounce patty, and it really stuffed me; I could not finish their fries. The jalapeño on it didn't leave me burnt out and left a sweet heat that was very enjoyable. 10/10; we will come back through here when going on road trips or pass through there at all. This is a super long review... but that's just cause I am buzzed; nursing gas stop coffee, at 12:30 in the morning. BY THE WAY, I saw some reviews complaining about them not serving steak anymore but, at least right now, they serve steak dinners on Fridays and Saturday (starting maybe around 5:30). read more

Road food rescue on a rather desolate but beautiful highway in the winter. The bar is straight out of central casting with various taxidermed local beasts. The food is fine, and there are healthy selection like a quinoa bowl. Yep the new owners are service industry pros and want to introduce healthy eating options. This was yet another great Yelp recommendation. read more

Their HBMud Pie is to die for! Layered ice cream and chocolate crumbs w whipping cream laced on top & side. We ordered a large prime to share. It wasn't as thick as we're used to but tasted good. The baked potato was small with a single slice of garlic bread. They were understaffed so long waits throughout our evening. read more

We love this place. We stopped on our way through the swan. Had salads and wings. Delicious. Small salad very big portion. Wings perfect. Gin and tonic delicious. Will stop again read more

Great find while traveling in the area. Recommend the Cobb Salad, burgers, and pizza. Service a tad slow (pizza was super late) but otherwise a really nice experience. Try it!! read more

Service was a bit slow at high noon on a Thursday, but then all restaurants are seeking more help these days. My husband I shared a small spinach salad and a meatball sub. The small salad was plenty big and had generous toppings of goat cheese, nuts and craisins. The meatball sub was very good and served nice and hot. If you are on this lovely scenic road stop by this spot---very pleasant staff. read more

Really getting to like this place! We haven't had pizza this good for over 40 years ... HB Placid pizza reminds us of our favorite pizza spot in college days! Fabulous crust, sauce, and just right ingredients. Prime rib is also a big hit ... it will keep drawing us back! read more

Exceeded our expectations! While there isn't a lot to choose from in the area, this restaurant doesn't take their customers for granted! The food and service were all really good. read more

Wanted kore than 5 minutes for a drink that never came at 4 on Saturday when there were no customers. Not a steak house only sandwich and pizza. Really bad read more

Absolutely excellent service and food. Chicken wings are to die for. Rick and staff are Amazing. A definite must for us.

Piss poor service. Yes you are short staffed but, do not serve people that walk in after other patrons and then give those people drinks and take their order nearly immediately. Very disappointing. The sign on the door acknowledged the lack of employees. Just present your situation correctly. If you cannot keep up, don't let people continue to sit down. The management of employees and processes was poor and the one waitress we talked to was rude and she insisted that she had not taken the order of the table behind us that arrived 20 minutes after us. We sat for 30 minutes and got a water and never once had anyone come to the table. If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen. This is super disappointing because the food is good and we drive over half an hour to eat there. Won't be back. read more

Stopped in for lunch on our way back from Condon hiking all day... me and the hubs ended up splitting the Lindbergh and did a double side so we could each have one :) did fries and potato salad and the potato salad is amazing!!! It had a ton of flavor and wasn't drowning in mayo!! So good. Potato salad is a hard one to get right and they nailed it... pretty much wish we skipped fries and got more of that bc it was really amazing!! The sandwich was really good too... and a colossal portion just like the menu said! Really good food, really good service and they have huckleberry margaritas... it was super! read more

Love this place, we try and stop here Every time we down the Swan Mountain Range. I've had the fried oysters steak hamburger and alway have their Wonderful Soup and Salad Bar. They are the nicest people you could meet. You can sit there and enjoy your meal and watch the deer humming birds and barn Swallows. I'll give it read more

We just moved to Seeley Lake, MT and finally made our way up to the Hungry Bear! My wife and I were greeted with a warm welcome! We sat in the bar area next to the cozy fire with an amazing view of the mountains! Rick and Deb took the time to talk to us about their menu and upcoming events/entertainment. They have something special for each night of the week! We had an appetizer and a couple beers, we'll be back soon with our friends and family! If you're passing through or live locally this is a MUST STOP destination! read more

This place is wonderful. We sat outside on a beautiful day and met one of the owners, Deb. She was so courteous and helpful with suggestions. We had the spinach artichoke dip for an appetizer which was a perfect size- not too big not too small-, the huckleberry blu burger- a surprising choice that was absolutely delicious- and their other bbq burger that I can't remember the name of but was really good. We also ended up trying some wings and their dry rub on the wings is amazing. I thought I only liked sauced up wings, but the flavor was amazing and they were perfectly crispy. I should have taken pictures, but we ate it all way too fast. We will definitely be coming back! read more

I am a local resident in Condon and visit this establishment at least 2-3 month. There are several negative reviews here but am not sure why. The owners of the Hungry Bear (It's really the HB Grille) have worked very hard to provide an updated décor, high food quality and service. Granted, there have been issues finding people to work, but they have done the very best they can during the very high traffic tourist months, being understaffed and overworked. The food quality has increased since they took over, as they added and upgraded the menu. For an eating establishment out in the middle of nowhere, I'd say it's pretty dang awesome. If you talk to Rick and Deb you will get the feeling that they do really care about their customers and the business. If you ever make it here, try the pizza, wings, any one of the delicious salads and/or sandwiches. They have the best prime rib I've ever tasted. OH, and huckleberry ice cream -- a MUST in Montana! read more

An awesome place in the middle of nowhere! We stumbled on this place our of desperation during the long drive between Kalispell and Great Falls, and it was definitely a lifesaver. We both had awesome steaks, salads with amazing homemade garlic toast croutons, and pie. The service was great, and you can't beat the view. Our table had a view of the forest outside and we watched young deer grazing right outside our window! On top of all this, you've got to love the fact that you can order a pizza, get an order of rocky mountain oysters (which we weren't ballsy enough to order), and get a great fillet mignon all from the same place in middle of the forest. read more

Four dudes, one lady, and five servings of tiny-highway-in-MT breakfast inside a wood-paneled, deer-mount-studded lodge with 1980s conference table seating. Atmosphere was delightful for people not used to taxidermy; biscuits and gravy was delicious for people raised on it. We decided the secret ingredient was sage, and also that if we were not already planning some backcountry excursions in Glacier we would stick around and experience all the additional antler racks that night life in the Hungry Bear bar side had to offer. For breakfast at least, a hearty recommendation. Our meal was inexpensive ($49 for 5 giant plates) and tasty (also rec the breakfast brat) and above all, we received very pleasant, timely service. read more

If you happen to be near Condon , Montana on a Friday night do yourself a favor and stop in for the Prime rib special...AMAZING....best prime rib ever and the staff were so nice and friendly read more

When here with my family on a road trip and absolutely loved it! I had three people got the soup of the day and it warmed the bones this Christmas. I had the buffalo chicken wrap and it was so good! Hot chicken, lots of cheese, lettuce, tomatoes. Fries to die for!!!!! Brother in lawgot the gyro, and said it was awesome. My fiancé got the chicken fried steak and practically licked the plate :) This place gets 5 stars for ambiance, decor, food, service and exactly what you want from a Montana restaurant. I wouldn't drive out for this place alone, but if you are on a road trip it is perfect!!! read more

The Hungry Bear is a friendly, very-serviceable place for basic food and booze. It saved the evening when our hosts' power remained off for over 24 hours after a summer thunderstorm festival. Two sets of locals told us to avoid anything but the prime rib or pizza. We did, and happily had good solid meals of each. The salad bar is simple but fresh and satisfying -- it comes with the meat dinners and as an add-on to pizzas. The staff was extremely helpful. They phoned our cell when our table was about ready so we didn't have to wait long in the packed halls and bar. (The power outage in midsummer made lots of people decide to dine out, and I overheard a worker explain that our evening there was by-far the busiest of the year.) The service was friendly and personable -- quite a feat in the chaos of hungry people. The prime rib was 1 shade overcooked, and the pizza was 2 minutes underdone (doughy, but not raw). But, the quality was good. The pizza sauce was interesting and fresh-tasting, and veggies were plentiful. The mushrooms were canned, but, hey, this pizza is served year round and I'm betting fresh mushrooms don't come out here in February. Stick to the prime rib and pizza, and you'll like your meal. read more

On the outside of The Hungry Bear, It looks like a cheap disgusting resteraunt. On the inside, it looks amazing, fragrant smells everywhere.

We come here every weekend. The new owners have done a great job with the menu, and the bar and meal prices are very reasonable. Prime rib is a great special on weekends. Great people, and super community oriented. Keep it up! read more

service is horrible waited a half hour for a table and went to the bar to get a couple drinks said it would be 20 minutes and when I ordered was "too busy" to make a mixed cocktail. waited 45 minutes for a table and would not seat 6 people at one table. food has previously been ok but prices have went way up and a 4% charge to use my credit card!!! ZERO STARS read more

The huckleberry margaritas are INCREDIBLE. Not to be missed! The burgers were fine, not amazing, but I'd go back for one of those drinks forever and a day. read more
