    French omelette & GF toast w/ homemade cherry jam.
    Sophie B.

    Swift Creek Cafe delivered good service, a delicious meal, and an accessible location. I am gluten free, so we searched online for a spot with GF options and found Swift Creek. My reason for deducting one star is because we saw that their online menu included GF pancakes... but when we got there, the pancakes listed were different / they did not have a GF batter. I urge the business to update their menu with changes like this - as people who are GF often feel as though there's a lack of options for them, so saying you have something like that online and then you don't actually can be really disheartening. Nevertheless, I got the French omelette with greens and a side or GF toast with homemade cherry jam. The meal was delicious. My partner was also really happy with his breakfast steak sandwich. I'd recommend getting here on the earlier side if you want a comfy table, as we ended up having to sit at the high-top tables to which I found the seats a bit uncomfortable. Service was good, our waiter was nice & attentive. Overall, I'd come back to Swift Creek but I'd hope the business may take into consideration the gluten concern.

    Cool little brunch joint, eclectic menu, high quality food, and friendly service... SCC is a must stop when in town.

    Delicious food and decent service, the wait at Loula's was 70 minutes so we went across the street. Eggs Benedict was perfect!

    We stopped in on a Thursday morning around 9am and had to wait for a 4 person seat (very limited seating). The place was nicely decorated with books and for sale art. Staff was very limited with only one waitress but she did an amazing job. Our check was messed up a bit with another table merged with ours, but they fixed it promptly. The food was amazing!!!

    Biscuits and gravey.  Very good.  Gravey flavor and consistency were excellent.  The biscuits are very good.

    Sunday Brunch at Swift Creek Cafe, a lovely little cafe with charm. I ordered the busicuits and gravy, Jan ordered the eggs bendict. The wait time from order to serving seemed extraordinary long. When our order was served, my gravey was cold to luke warm. The busicuits were excellent, and the taste of the gravey was excellent. The consistency of the gravey was perfect, and the volume of gravey was more than adequate. Jan's eggs Benedict was ordinary. There is nothing special about this dish to get excited about. I had ordered coffee, and my request for a refill never came. I asked a different server, and it did not come. As we were preparing to leave, the first server brought my refill. The cafe was not slammed, just moderately busy, and seemed adequately staffed. I believe that Swift Cafe has the potential to be very good with moments of culinary excellence, but that moment was not today.

    My partner and I were in Whitefish for a month and ate at Swift creek many times! It was the only place in town that we felt was worth returning too honestly. Every dish they make is great, especially the more elaborate/unique dishes. The holiday hangover cure was a favorite, when they had it, which was only once or twice in our visits. It's a great space, with very small town vibes. My gripe is really to do with the very steep drop off in service when they get even the slightest bit busy. Going on a Tuesday morning versus Saturday were sadly two completely different experiences.

    Eggs in Pergatory - the egg was perfectly poached and the greens amazing!

    Prompt service if you are trying to make it to Glacier on a time crunch like we were! So glad we stopped!! The Food and service were amazing! The potatos had the best flavor!! Their in house triple berry jam is to die for!

    Our favorite breakfast spot in town! We came twice and they did not disappoint! We order the local and the gluten free pancakes and everything was perfectly cooked. The staff is so friendly and the pace is super clean. Highly recommend!

    Stopped by today for breakfast. (Saturday morning after Thanksgiving). I chose this place because it had some unique menu items. The available items were different than I saw online, but the cuisine was similar. Started with coffee. The coffee was really good. Locally roasted - a little bright but not too much. I ordered a summer sandwich. This came with shredded corned beef. The corn-beef had a nice and warm flavor profile. The egg was was cooked with a little crispness to the egg whites and the yolk was a little over for me. The bun was soft and tender. Overall, I would order this again and maybe ask for the egg to cooked a little less. My wife ordered eggs Benedict. She said the hollandaise sauce was some "Fairmont quality" and one of the best she had had. Would recommend adding one more piece of Canadian bacon or a thicker slice. Overall, she would order this again too. Her dad ordered the Local. The bacon was delicious. Overall, he liked the dish and would order it again. The potatoes came with all three of our orders. They were a bit saltier than we usually salt our potatoes. We shared that with our server and she shared it with the kitchen. The flavor (seasoning) on the potatoes though was a nice flavor - just a bit salty for us. The space was clean, bright, and nicely decorated. It wasn't loud. The large windows in front let in a lot of welcomed light. Parking was easy today and the cafe is in easy walking distance for a lot of stores in downtown. It was a friendly atmosphere. Service was friendly, attentive to customer needs (more coffee, water, etc.). Customers included a couple of families with younger kids. We would definitely stop here again. Thank you, Swift Creek Cafe!!!

They told us our room was ready and then they changed their mind and said it wasn't ready and that we had to wait a half hour and we should go to the tiki bar when we tried to get couldn't because we didn't have a room key yet my needed a computer charger. They told us no problem. They'd have one sent to our room, but that never happened when we did get into the tiki bar we ordered mahi tacos and were given pork. we asked our waitress to charge our the room, she said she could not do that. The pool was wonderful. The hot tub was nice. The view of the lake was remarkable. The rooms were very comfortable. We got to see deer right outside our window. We were celebrating our 36th anniversary we checked in on Monday night. We wanted to have dinner at the boat club. They told us there was one table available. I was so excited until she came back and told me sorry we are completely full. I asked I could change the time of my reservation and she said no only two servers tonight and they could not squeeze one more table. That was a huge disappointment for us because that's why we chose the place.

    Beautiful property with amazing views. We did not stay at the rooms, but we did go to the tiki bar…read moreat the back. There was complementary free car parking across the road, even if you were not staying at the hotel. It is the lot with the hotel extension.. The property is based on a lake with so many activities like kayaking etc . There is a gated pool area for people who are staying at the lodge itself. If I was to return, I definitely would possibly stay here as it is close to lots of different trails and amenities and access to the lake which is absolutely stunning and is a must do. The weather was not the best when we went so we couldn't enjoy much outdoors .. but would love to visit and stay at this property ! 100% recommend

Honestly, seeing that it was never not busy says a lot about how well this place is doing! We tried the burrito and the Shifty, and the Shifty was easily my favorite. It was so different and absolutely amazing! We also tried the honey spice cake, morning bun, and overnight oats, and everything was delicious. I especially loved that they had several GF/DF options, which can be surprisingly hard to find. It made it so much easier to actually enjoy a full breakfast without having to settle for one option. Great coffee, great food, fun atmosphere, and clearly a local favorite. Definitely worth stopping in if you're in the area!

Have been here before, and it's now always been a 1st stop when revisiting the area.. Their menu is particularly perfect for my kind of appetite, I had 2 bowls of their oatmeal (overnight oats) with house fruits (berries) with a vanilla frappe.. All were devoured in seconds.. It's the coffee that sticks out!! I went for the simple coffee, was not disappointed.. Even took a to go cup with me, always look forward to my next visit here..
