Definitely a place where you want to bring a few of your friends to get a variety of plates and…read moreshare! This restaurant was extremely popular and we had to wait 40 minutes for a table for 6 on a weeknight but my friends and I just put our names down and headed to a nearby brewery while we waited. Once our name was called, we were seated and served fairly quickly. We got a combo plate, the sausage appetizer, and nachos with brisket to share between 6 people. Of the combo plate, the pork belly was unanimously the best (extremely juicy and tender), followed by the ribs (tender, well made home style ribs), and finally the brisket (a bit dry). The sausage platter was okay but not as memorable as the other items we got. To note, even though the nachos are listed as an appetizer, they are HUGE and with the addition of brisket on top it was probably the equivalent to getting one of the main entrees for 2-3. We found that the brisket on the nachos were better as maybe it was fattier cut of the brisket or the cheesy helped. Additionally the cheese sauce was fantastic on the nachos and they were one of the highlights of the meal.

It boasts of barbecue style sandwiches and menu and this place was packed on a Friday at 3pm! Hosts looked like are the owners of the place made every effort to go above and beyond to seat the guests and look after them. They have the bar seating facing the kitchen where we occupied the last 2 seats remaining in the restaurant getting the live action right in front of us. We ordered the PBJ (pork belly jelly bites) and brisket cheese steak sandwich with jalapeno mac n cheese on the side. Both the dishes were amazing and we will surely stop by here again when in the area. The whole sassy sandwiches section look like a must try. Only thing we will try to avoid here is the desserts that were not bad at all but because we saw them being made in front of us now we know it is just assembled we may not order more of that. We got the huckleberry peach cobbler and banana pudding. Both the dishes aren't really made from scratch and had we not seen how they're assembled we may not judge it too harshly.

There's an interesting selection of wine (not large, but interesting), and the popover bread thing is to die for. Maybe not die...but I'd be sick for a day if I got to have it the next.

But the filet (oscar style) was tasty and I would get it again. If I go back to Kalispell I'll make another visit to Mercantile. It's a nice, fine-dining experience without dealing with traffic and waiting in lines to eat like you do at Whitefish.

We stopped by Namaste Montana for their weekend lunch buffet around 2 PM and were pleasantly…read moresurprised that there was still a good selection of food available. The buffet was well stocked, with a nice variety of chicken, shrimp, and vegetarian dishes, along with salad, naan, rice and desserts. Overall, the flavors were enjoyable and well-seasoned. The only downside was that the chicken was a bit dry, though still flavorful. One nice touch is that beverages are included with the buffet. We ordered a mango lassi and masala chai, and both were absolutely delicious --definitely highlights of the meal. The dessert selection included carrot pudding and ras gulla (pillowy, spongy balls soaked in syrup), fruit salad and 2 other unlabeled square bars. While they appeared authentic, they were a little too sweet for our taste or lack of flavor so we weren't as excited about that part of the buffet. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was comfortable. We also appreciated how the buffet was set up and maintained. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and we'd be interested in coming back to try some of their à la carte menu items next time.

I thought they must've wrapped the cheese & canned(!) chilies in an old egg pancake & then put a tortilla around it before covering it with a delicious salsa verde & mozarella sprinkles. But after taking the 2nd one home, I discovered they actually used two old, tough & thin egg pancakes as the wrap for the sparse amount of canned chilies & an odd orange cheese. I'm used to rellenos being made with fresh chilies, cheese & and fluffy fried batter, so I'll definitely not order that again!

I haven't been to Panera in several years and I think this is my first time coming for BREAKFAST…read more Arrived and the building is HUGE. It was 8am on a Wednesday and the place was EMPTY. I wondered how they stay in business. Walked to the self service computer monitor and placed my order. Placed my order but was NOT given the option to have a receipt (not even an emailed receipt). They did have a barcode to scan and track your order on your phone so I did that. It let me track my order but had no receipt option. So I had to go to the counter and ask for one. Order came out pretty quickly. This is what I ate: 1 - latte - this was the best thing I ordered and was pretty good. Right amount of froth and temperature was good. Quality espresso as well. 2 - Croissant bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. This was a pre-made breakfast sandwich that they heated in a microwave. Similar to what you would get at Starbucks. Nothing special, just ok. 3 - Cinnamon roll - I saw they advertised a "new recipe" for this and I enjoy a good cinnamon roll and gave it a try. This was the WORST thing I ordered. It was cold and tasted like something I would buy at a grocery store. Would never food ANYONE for being fresh or homemade. There are better options elsewhere!

Great idea, actually, and the first couple of bites, I thought, hey, this might be a winner. Then the aftertaste started. Then my wife asked how the steak was, and I realized I hadn't found any steak yet. Lo and behold, after digging through it, I found the steak was actually a tiny steak, well, I'll call them flakes. I knew that because of the color, not the texture, they were too small to determine texture. My wife and I discussed it after studying the tiny flecks for a while, and we had to assume that was my steak. No thanks, I tossed it and looked for something to get the taste out of my mouth. I guess I am just not a sophisticated eater.

THEN, my rehearsal dinner location that has been putting me off for months about getting reservation details beyond "sure we can do that" comes back with "That will be $4k room reservation since its on one of our busy days, looking forward to working with you" 3 weeks before the wedding. In a panic I reached out to see if there was any way S&M would be willing to squeeze in some additional catering for me that weekend and all I heard was "don't worry! we got you!" at a fraction of the price of my previous intended location, on short notice and with a smile. Chef Star and her team have already gone above and beyond and we haven't even gotten to the good stuff yet. We are so looking forward to actually getting to taste the food (Which I've heard is incredible), but even if it was just mediocre, they will still get a 5 star review.
