Bulldog Saloon was recommended on Yelp, so we made it our first stop in Whitefish during our…read moreGlacier vacation. Unfortunately, it was disappointing. It was a busy Friday night, and there was only one bartender working behind the counter. It took a very long time to get our first beer, and then just as long to get a second. Of course the bartender had plenty of time to do shots - with other servers who didn't seem to be able to help with any bar service. The food was fine, but nothing memorable. The positives were the fun decor and the fact that they serve Cold Smoke beer, although we quickly learned that most places in the area do too.

A MUST!!! Happened upon Herb & Omni and had fabulous drinks and an outstanding dinner. Bennett the…read morebartender was happy to explain everything. We started with a clearly number 1 cocktail served in a beehive glass--cool looking and a perfectly balanced/composed cocktail . We also had the seasonal shrub which was watermelon jalepeno and again delicious--not overly sweet with a nice kick. I did get to choose the heat level, and it didn't disappoint. For food , we started with chickpea fritters with a tamarind chutney. The presentation and taste were flavorful and creative. For our main, we both had the tempura golden enoki. I don't often eat vegetarian dishes out but glad not to miss this outstanding creation with a sticky rice waffle base, baby bok choi, black garlic XO tempura enoki and a green curry sauce . Certainly the best meal I have had this year and quite surprised to find it in Whitefish MT. Props to the chef !!!

Let me start off by saying this place looks and feels lush, it is beautiful and the yelpers who…read morementioned to go to the ladies bathroom (yeah you should looool) I'm going to jump right into the food. We started off with the Alaskan Halibut Corndog, its more of a cooked more inside, and I kid you not I wish I ordered another of these it was so good! We also had the  Bunuelo which is shaped to mimic a pretzel that was filled with a glorious goat cheese mousse and kraut powder and a little jalapeno relish I have never in my life tasted anything like it, it was sensational. If you see this on the menu immediately order it. Next up was the Dungeness Crab Cake there is something to be said about a beautiful rendition of this dish with its flaky generous portions of crab, thoroughly enjoyed. The Grilled Korean Short Rib was an absolute favorite of mine as well, there is no way you cold get enough of it. For the mains we had the Pan Seared Duck Breast 4/5 came with the most beautiful cherry mole and corn succotash that was just exception, the balance on this speaks to the chefs talent. Now the issue here was actually the duck, one side of the breast just seemed very over and chewy while the other was perfect which is a shame but I am glad to have tried it. My kid thoroughly enjoyed Lamb Ragu with gnocchi and I honestly couldn't agree more and how well made the gnocchi was, pillow soft and utterly flavorful. But the real star of the night was Wagyu with tallow fried tater tot, chimichurri and brown butter carrots I would say though this dish commands a price, it was absolutely worth it, done exactly as ordered and every bite of each component was heavenly. For dessert we had the Cornbread dessert with miso caramel and burnt honey ice cream and it blew my mind, I am not a honey person but there's also a sense of trust you gain while eating that the kitchen knows best so dive in head first and it didn't disappoint we also had the Evening in Missoula Panna Cotta with rhubarb, orange blossom meringue and coconut boba the burst of flavors I kept getting and the delightful panna cotta was superb. Both the desserts were comped by the restaurant since even though we had a reservation we waited far too long of a time, it was close to 45min before we were seated because the previous customer had paid but were holding the table up. To me that's not something I can shrug off, I understand that they were full but 20min max I can excuse more than double is a hard swallow regardless of how great are host eventually was (Hi Dennis, you were awesome thank you!) and I appreciate the free deserts but overbooking might have been your issue here.

We came here on our first night simply because it was the only place open on the mountain. Everything was delicious- so much so that we went back two more times. The location was amazing, service was great, and the FOOD! The food was exceptional. Everything we ate was perfect. A few days after our first dinner, my boyfriend proposed. We called a few hours before heading over, and despite the restaurant hosting a wedding in the dining area, they made our day feel so special by serving us fireside in the lobby with champagne and the full menu. The staff went above and beyond each time we visited and everything we ate was cooked to perfection, including: The seafood fettuccine Caper chimichurri steak Bacon mac and cheese Chop house tataki Thank you guys so much for making our trip so special!

The chef prepared a beautiful confit cauliflower dish with black garlic purée, toasted pine nuts, and pickled huckleberries that was both creative and delicious. The salmon with huckleberry sauce, rice, and sautéed broccolini was also excellent and showcased local flavors well. If you're looking for a restaurant with attentive service and a team that's happy to accommodate special requests, Buchanan's Chop House is well worth a visit.

Parking out front or in the rest of the place as well. Staff is very friendly and can give great suggestions on the local draft beers and menu items to choose from. Light music in the background and a ton of TVs with different items playing with closed caption to keep your viewing interests if needed. Had the Reuben and upgraded to the potato salad to enjoy. If you need to add a little spice there is a hot sauce rack that has just about every crazy concoction know to the human race on it! Oh by the way...the Reuben was fantastic! Worth the hype, full of meat, grilled perfectly and tasted amazing!!

We are traveling with my family of 6 and our BFF's family of 4, equaling 4 adults and 6 young adults, all of which love food and love to eat! Starters: calamari and Brussels were good. The shishito peppers were barely cooked and crunchy. My husband had I had Caesar salads with chicken and I had grilled shrimp. My shrimp was not grilled, lettuce was a wilted and the dressing was subpar. 3 ordered the bolognese which is typically everyone's favorite, and they were all sent back. I tried a bite and honestly have no idea what flavor I was tasting... maybe really bad game, besides the unrecognizable flavor, it was dry with little sauce and less meat and no parm topping. Four ordered Chicken Forestiere and would rate it a 5 or 6. My last guy had the filet with extra veggies which ended up being 3 small carrots. Our server was amazing and didn't charge us for the bolognese. This morning I learned that my eldest was up all night with a very bad stomach. This place has a ton of potential so I hope they can turn it around.

It has a lot of Montana beers on draft. We ordered pizza and the pretzel. We wanted to try the pies but they were out. Pizza hit the spot. Pretzel was okay. Beer was tasty. We had played some pool (it was free!) It wasn't super busy at first but picked up later in the evening. Seemed to be a mix of tourists and locals/people who worked at Glacier for the summer. They have karaoke on Wednesdays which I'm sad I missed! Perfect spot for a few drinks with a chill vibe!
