We got here at 9:30, and put our parties name on the list. We got sat at 10:22. Our food came at…read more11:30. Potatoes were completely inedible-Hard and cold. Tasted and felt like they came right out of the fridge or were just cut up and served raw. There was very little seasoning on everything. Burger we ordered was also pretty bad. So so dry, completely overcooked. Ate 1/4 of it. Everything was under seasoned and very under or over cooked, and things like canned mushrooms instead of fresh, made it pretty disappointing. We left at noon. We heard this was a fluke and that something was going on in the kitchen both with how long it took and how things were prepared. So hopefully that's true. But honestly 2.5 hours for a sub par meal isn't worth a return for us. We ate here last year and it was better, but it still took forever and some of the food was still just ok. The service was good. The girls were accommodating and our server comped my meal and only charged me for the eggs I ate. But honestly the entire dish and more should've been comped as all our potato sides were inedible and were left. Disappointing.

Since we were a party of 2, we did get a small table right around the corner from an exit area. It wasn't bad. Another party had taken our chair (I'm guessing they said they had 4 guest instead of the actual 5) so we did have to wait for the hostess to find a chair when we got to our table but that's not on the restaurant. Patrons of the establishment seemed entitled and rude but the restaurant and wait staff itself was ok. The girl who sits outside to put you on the waitlist seemed like she'd rather us leave than wait 20 minutes. Food was fine. Drinks were good. You may have to wait a little bit, but choices in the area are limited. Prices are on. We spent $63 before tip for 2 burgers and 2 drinks. We were able to walk here from our tiny Airbnb so that was an added plus for us.

The food was incredible from start to finish, and the service was even better. Bella was our waitress and was thoughtful, attentive, efficient, and checked on us frequently without ever being intrusive. Riley was also wonderful--bringing drinks, checking on our table, and making sure we had everything we needed. Behind the bar, Drew had fantastic recommendations and helped us discover some great drinks. They made my daughter's 10th birthday super special!!! Speaking of drinks- don't miss the fun cocktail that comes with a rubber duck. They also have an excellent wine list and a great beer selection. What really stood out was how friendly the entire staff was. We visited with our two children and our two Golden Retrievers, and everyone made us feel welcome. While we waited for our food, the kids had a blast playing by the lakeshore, throwing rocks, and enjoying the beautiful setting. As for the occasional negative reviews--this is a very popular lakefront restaurant, and during peak times it gets busy. That's part of dining at one of the most sought-after spots in Bigfork. Relax, enjoy the view, order a drink, and soak in the experience. Great food, amazing staff, beautiful location, dog-friendly, family-friendly, and worth every minute. We will absolutely be back.
