    Food quality / price (value) rating 9. The atmosphere is country-rustic, with some high quality taxidermy . This restaurant was recommended to us by a few local people. They offer a popular array of pub / tavern food, and serve breakfast , lunch , and dinner, and they are kid friendly. I had a "Blackwell Dip", basically a French Dip with some sliced mushrooms and caramelized onions and Jack cheese, and a well made tossed mixed salad. The wife had the "Taco Salad", served in a corn chip bowl, that was good sized. We also split a hot brownie Sundae with vanilla ice cream. They have a limited but well rounded draught beer list, and a full bar. The drinks were very reasonably priced, and our bill was less than we both guessed. They're open Monday through Saturdays, closed Sundays, and operate a small casino with about 8 or 10 slot machines. They have Happy Hour, and daily specials, and while you're playing casino games, you can have every other drink for free, or unlimited free draught beers. The service was excellent, and the two servers with whom we interacted (Celia and Kiri) were personable and loads of fun! We originally were just going to have drinks, but stayed for dinner because they were instigators of our good time! The food was prepared well, was good quality, and the charges were very reasonable. Their clientele is made up of local townspeople and travelers visiting the area and just passing through. While visiting Libby, Montana, be sure to visit Kootenai Falls, a beautiful series of large, beautiful, rushing waterfalls that are a short hike from Highway U.S. 2 just a couple miles West of Libby, fantastic! There is also a World Championship chainsaw wood sculpting competition in Libby every year in August where sculptors from all over the world compete for large cash prizes, and offer their creations for sale.

    Pretty good food for a tiny town. Salads and sandwiches were fine. Service was excellent but food came out pretty slowly.

    We ordered the large portion of prime rib on a Saturday night advertised as 16 ounces for $35, but I know it was at least 24 ounces.

    River Bend Restaurant was recommended by some friends so while we were visiting the area, we made…read moreit a priority to stop in for dinner. When we arrived, the restaurant was busy which was a great sign. Our server and bartender was Corey. Corey was absolutely outstanding. She was extremely busy but she constantly stopped by to check on us throughout our service. We were never left waiting for service. I'm disappointed I didn't take pictures of the food but three of us ordered the ribeye steaks, one person ordered a tenderloin steak and the others ordered burgers. The tenderloin came out perfect. She said it was excellent. The burgers were fine, not cooked to order but they said they were tasty. The issue came with the ribeyes. First, the ribeyes were between a quarter inch and half inch thick which is unusually thin in my experience. We all ordered the ribeyes to be cooked medium. Two of the ribeyes came out well done. The last ribeye came out a few minutes after the rest of the food was served and it was completely raw on the outside and well done in the center. We all commented they must have forgotten about it threw it into a microwave at the last minute to be cooked. Unfortunately none of us ate much of the ribeye steaks. They were a disaster. This dining experience was unfortunate as it sounds like most people have had excellent meals. It must have been an off night.

    Smoked chicken was delicious! It was served off the bone which was unexpected when I ordered it but…read moremuch appreciated cause it wasn't messy to eat a 1/2 chicken. I also had the slaw and mashed potatoes which were tasty. I ate the meal too fast to snap a picture! Service was excellent and atmosphere nice.

    This was a dive; an all around dive. Under most circumstances, I like dives if the reason I'm…read morethere makes it worth it. On a recommendation from a local, who raved about the burgers here, I stopped in on a way back from a day hike. First, there's nice, covered outdoor seating -- a promising start. To get there, though, you have to trash the suspension of your vehicle via the dirt driveway that had potholes big enough to swallow any of the local moose population. This is a four-wheel, off-road ride kind of entrance. Despite that, the ramshackle building still looked like fun in the way a dive can be fun. As I walked in, I was assaulted by the smell of stale cigarettes. Uh-Oh. There's no smoking inside any more, but years of being a smoking establishment leaves that smell permeating everything. I suppose once the party starts, and the place is busy, and I've had enough to drink, I wouldn't notice. The menu is limited, and on Tuesday's it's an all you can eat taco buffet and you can have anything you want as long as it's a taco; but I wasn't there on a Tuesday and wanted the burger the local recommended. The burger was okay, cooked the way I asked, but not worth the wait -- at least 30 minutes -- even when there were no more than six customers in the entire place and only two of us who were there to eat, not drink. The bartender probably figured out our tip wouldn't include bottomless alcohol and didn't spend much time with customer service -- evidenced by bringing out the orders of some to-go customers who came in after us and ordered after us. Aside from the bartender, the other patrons were funny, recognizing me as an outsider and dishing out the requisite insults. I don't know, maybe I need to go back sometime when I can sit outside or drink myself stupid -- enough so I can overlook the other stuff anyway.

    This business Promotes an entertainer by the name Anthony Ray of Elk, Wa and Rathdrum Idaho who…read moretook the money of the small community of Elk, Chattaroy, all the way to Clayton, Washington. I was one of those vendors that was scammed by him. while it may to him be only 25 dollars for the fee to be a vendor at the event, His comment about how that was nothing to his 100k a year he makes according to him is where the problem lies. Also, if your making that much just return the money! Why do we have to wait for you to get a refund from the permits? Don't you make enough for the overhead of suck an event?? Libby Montana is a small town just as we are. Foxy's Bar and Rv park has done everything to hush me up along with Anthony Ray. That is bad business and I will make it known, no matter how hard he tries to silent me. No wonder so many were timid to confront this. I have been blocked all comments and reviews taken down if they can be. Get some good local talent that really does care and support the locals! A meet and greet with Anthony Ray is a rip off at best!
