Last night...rain at last and the smoke is much gone from the Valley, but the quality of the Wild Mare stays up there. Another excellent dinner. Talking with Pam, she is preparing for winter with guest chefs coming in, soup and stew nights and less formal menu items. She wants to maintain the cozy atmosphere with good eating and drinking deals for those long, cold winter evenings. She also has been hosting private dinners and lunches for organizations as well as private individuals in addition to her Wednesday - Saturday 4 - 10 operating hours. My wife and I both felt that we were having dinner at a friend's place where we were part of a group of invitees. I still fear that my writing good reviews that the tourists next year will dominate the tables. But that is good news for the Wild Mare. read more

First off, the best things was the wild mushroom bruschetta with goat cheese and a balsamic reduction. It was 5 stars, what a wonderful trifecta! Next was the Cesar salad which had too much dressing so maybe get it on the side next time. We had the ribeye which was great flavor and the garlic potatoes which were ok. read more

The Wild Mare - Steakhouses Near Me - Corvallis, Montana

Had a very lovely glass of red, the top sirloin was delicious and the creme brûlée top notch. Will definitely be back!

The food was good but nothing outstanding or that warranted the price. When I'm paying a premium for a meal I'm looking for an experience. This place is noisy with giant tables making table talk impossible when it's busy. Some of the tables are simply overweighted picnic tables with benches. I guess that's the 'Montana' experience and decor. So if you want ok food but don't like the people you're with, go here when it's busy and won't have to or be able to talk to them. Pick up the tab and you'll look like a hero. read more

food was extremely presentable but very bland. our server had a cool vibe to her with her tattoos and such but her serving skills are very sub par.. i hope it was just an off day for her, but leaving here left such a sour taste in my mouth. read more

A hidden gem. Delicious food! Everything on the menu is amazing. Great wine too! One of the best restaurants in the area.

My husband and I stopped in after a recommendation from a close friend. We had the mussels to start. Served in a coconut sauce, they were incredible. For the main course we each had a Rib Eye. Both were cooked medium rare as requested and both were delicious. The portion size was large and neither of us could fit dessert. They also have a local cider on tap. It's the best cider we've had so far! We'll definitely be coming back to The Wild Mare on our next trip. read more

Had dinner here with another couple. Overall the food and service were very good. Everyone either had the Rib Eye or Fillet. Would have probably given the Wild Mare 4 stars except that they tack on an extra charge if you pay by credit card verses paying in cash. Left a bad taste in everyone's mouth.... read more

Amazing place and great people just a wholesome group of people. The only reason it's not five stars is because it could have been a bit faster considering the amount of people in there. read more

My wife and I ate at The Wild Mare tonight. We are visiting this week looking at properties and chose this restaurant based on Yelp reviews which were generally very positive. The restaurant wasn't overly busy but there were a good amount of diners there by the time we left. Our server, Holly, was very friendly and attentive. She answered all of our questions. The food came out relatively quickly. I had a cup of soup followed by a ribeye with risotto and vegetables. My wife had a Caesar salad followed by a sirloin steak with garlic mashed potatoes and vegetables. Every bite of every item was simply fantastic. The steaks were cooked perfectly and they melted in your mouth. The sides were a spectacular complement to the meats. For dessert we split a huckleberry cheesecake that was like no other cheesecake I have had before. It was light and delicious. So, the bottom line is my highest recommendation. Do not pass this place by. The food is really fantastic. read more

This place is usually pretty good. Last time we stopped by for steaks, I ordered a sirloin cooked medium. My steak was gray on the inside and not very good. I could only eat a few bites and ended up getting very ill when I got home. I told them the next week but they did not seem to care. We will not be returning to Wild Mare again. Seems like they have gone downhill. read more

This restaurant has a nice atmosphere that combines elements of fine dining with an overall rustic feel. The menu is typical for a small western steakhouse but the food is prepared and served very well. There's also a nice beer, wine, and cocktail selection! read more

Expensive for the quality. Run by good people. Spotty quality. Don't go there very often and kick myself when I do. Hopefully you catch them on a good night. read more

Perfect steaks and beautiful salads with tasty dressings. First class service and warm cozy ambience.

Couldn't even get waited on! Sat for 15 minutes or more and not even a drink order. What a waste. Waitresses seemed disinterested in clientele. read more

Here's the deal with Wild Mare. It's the only steakhouse between Lolo and Darby. They only take reservations for larger parties. If you are a couple wanting to dine here, get there when it opens! Otherwise, you'll wait up to an hour before you even see a bread service. Believe me this has happened to me twice. Last night being the second. We waited for a 1/2 hour drinking some wine, had to get the attention of a waitress after people arriving after us were getting their food ordered. We were seated, and then forgotten. We hailed are waitress asking if we could at least get our salad. She said, yes, but our entrees were a 1/2 hour from even starting to be cooked. What?!!! We've already been waiting 1/2hr, now another 1/2 hr before you "even start to cook our order." Nah. We're outta here. My advice...take the time and drive to the Lolo Creek Steakhouse. Better service, better food. read more

This place was great. They are over staffed, I was over stuffed and the price wasn't silly. For sure worth the trip in to town, bring the kids or don't. read more

We had a birthday party for 12 tonight, including 2 children. The food was all excellent, prepared as requested, and served piping hot. We had a variety, Rib Eye, Sirloin, Glazed Shrimp, Beef Stroganoff, Lamb Burger, Cowpoke and Ranch Hand burgers. Dessert was wonderful, Lemon Tart and Cheesecake. Every time I visit The Wild Mare I am impressed with the food, service and atmosphere. We were not rushed, leaving after they closed, and all the service gals were great. I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. Thanks for making our celebration so enjoyable. read more

Our family of four recently stopped for dinner at the Wild Mare on a whim. We were on our way to another steakhouse but decided to try something new (to us). As you drive by the Wild Mare it looks kind of sketchy on the outside, but not so inside. It is beautifully appointed: clean and classy, but not over the top. We were there on the first night of summer, a Saturday, and the place was hopping. The first thing we noticed after sitting down was that we were in for quality service. Indifferent to poor restaurant service is one of the reasons we don't go out to eat much in our home area. The Bitterroot is notorious for mediocre servers unmotivated by pride in their work and oblivious to the concept that their livelihood depends on their job performance. Anyway, I didn't catch our server's name, but she was friendly, attentive, and never over-the-top. She made sure our water glasses stayed full (important to me because I don't drink). She answered questions and made recommendations that we were glad we listened to. My wife enjoyed her small filet, which she always wants what she calls true RARE (they complied). Daughter had chicken strips from the kid's menu. Son had burger and fries. I had chicken parmesan with home made marinara. The chicken dish was prepared very well, but a touch bland. Maybe that's a hallmark of chicken parmesan, but the red sauce could have used some spicing up for my taste. I would order something different next time. They make their own salad dressings, which is such an easy thing to do you wish more restaurants would do it. Fresh, delicious, and no chemicals. These were the best french fries we've had in a restaurant. I don't know what the secret is, but they were crispy outside, tender inside, and the oil they were cooked in must have been the perfect temperature and must have been changed recently. They were outstanding! The menu prices were very reasonable for the area. Lots of good choices on the menu for the budget-conscious. Portions were such that we couldn't stay for dessert. Overall, we were so surprised and impressed with the ambiance, the service, the food, and the value, that we will definitely go back. read more

I have been here a couple times in the past and it was great. Tonight however was complete disappointment. My husband and I went in for a very rare date night. We walked n and were told it would be around 15 minutes but that we could take a seat at the bar. We took a seat and waited and waited and waited. People that came in after us got drinks and were seated before us. Once we finally were seated it took around 20 minutes to even get anyone over to take our drink order. We were not told The specials, had to ask, had to request silverware and plates. Appetizer was on our table for a good 15 minutes before we even had plates. Food was pretty great Then told that we were going to be charged an additional fee to use a card. We had never experienced this in the past. Horrible service. Sadly with not many choices in the bitterroot that will be our last time there. read more

Just the restaurant this area needed! While we were on vacation it was the best food we had. We started with the spicy cheese dip that was to die for. The rib eye steak with the bourbon glaze was amazing - very tender. Another night we had salads which were excellent, as was the cheeseburger. But leave room for the homemade desserts. Be sure to say hello to Pam, the owner when you go as she is usually there making sure everything is running smoothly. read more

We have eaten at the Wild Mare on several occasions and it has become one of our favorites in the Bitterroot Valley. The food is excellent, the atmosphere is comfortable and entertaining, and the service makes you feel like you are part of the family. We'll definitely be back and would highly recommend you give it a try! read more

Found this gem on Yelp! My father lives in the area, but I am from Spokane. Everything we ordered from the chicken skewers to the salad and soup was masterly crafted and set us up for one of the best steak dinners my father and I have had in a long time. Top that off with really 5 star service from Shar-lissa, and we had a great night out for a meal. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting a great meal served with class! read more

The service was great! The food is overly priced and the menu is limited. They charge for paying with a card, but you don't find out about until you get your check. You have to run your own card on their system which is awkward. There was an strange guy who sat and watched us throughout our meal. I don't know if he was an employee or what but all the staff seemed to know him. It just made our time there very uncomfortable. Not a place I would recommend. read more

Went here for dinner with my husband and was slightly confused as to where the front door was, but found it once we circled the building. The atmosphere is great on the inside, and we were able to be seated in a secluded area which was nice as it was our anniversary. The wine selection was pretty good and we enjoyed some appetizers while we waited for our food. The wait was a little longer than usual but the food was delicious. The staff was friendly and prompt wth refills. read more

What a little gem!! Mother and I visiting family from Seattle, we stopped on a whim and so very glad we did. The steaks were tender and full of flavor, vegetables perfect and the berry Creme Brûlée...outstanding! And to top it off, they had Tamarack Merlot on the wine list. The waitress was friendly and helpful with menu; good service!! read more

Good food and good staff. Our steaks were cooked perfect. Make sure to try the chile mango dressing on the salad. Sooooo good.

I can't rave enough about my experience at this restaurant. Our server was 100% stellar, I wish I could remember her name so that I could rave about her some more! Great service, friendly out the wazoo, and the food was delicious! 5/5 am planning my next visit already! read more

Had dinner here and ordered the special -- a buffalo bratwurst sandwich, salad, and soup. The sandwich and salad were good, yet not outstanding. The soup was really good. Enjoyed a delicious local Octoberfest beer with the meal. Nice decor and a pretty big place make this a good place for nice dinner with a date, family or friends. The wait staff was very attentive, and I didn't wait long for my food. read more

We had heard great things about this place but our experience was far from it. Eight of us stopped in for Wednesday dinner and to start off the waiter only took the drink orders of those folks drinking alcohol. Those of us not drinking had to wait much longer to get our watered down lemonade; we're guessing it was just crystal light with ice. We weren't served our appetizers until just before the food because they "ran out of dishes". When the salads came out, we sent back one that must have been a joke - didn't even fill the tiny bowl with lettuce. We waited an hour for any sign of food and when the main meals arrived the two $23 Scallop plates were cold, had to be sent back to be microwaved. The two burgers were overcooked - had ordered medium but they came out well done and without pickles as a stated on the menu. The waiter never refilled any drinks at the table; the hostess did get one refill of the watery-lemonade for one person. When we presented all this to the manager she ARGUED with us, saying she never has complaints and she has an excellent chef who wouldn't send out bad food. She had to go talk with the chef before she would agree to comp anything on the ticket. He did own up to sending out cold food and overcooked burgers, so we'll give them that. Still, she only took the scallops of the bill. She had a very poor attitude for someone in the "service" industry; acted like we were wrong and should just deal with it. So, overall it was terrible. Oh, and to top out all off - the undercooked food resulted in FOOD POISONING - good times. read more

Didn't care for either of the appetizers we ordered which was the artichoke dip and crab wontons. The entrées were good but nothing to rave about. Service was excellent except it's awkward to have someone stand there and watch you complete your transaction on a tablet. read more

What a fantastic surprise tucked away. Great atmosphere, food & service. Thanks yelp for finding this fir us

Just had one of the greatest meals I have had in the Bitterroot Valley. A party of 5 and a 3 yr old. All had something different and each one was spectacular in taste and presentation. The price was well within reason for the meal and atmosphere, but still not cheap. The service was wonderful, attentive and personal. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience. read more

The food, rustic Montana atmosphere and service was absolutely amazing. The steak was ridiculously tasty, savory, juicy and clearly superior... I think the best in Montana, based upon my experience.! We drove from Darby to check out this wonderful place based upon the reviews and we're so happy to have discovered The Wild Mare and it's staff. We are coming back and are bringing more people. Oh, and we don't have to do dishes read more

We went to try the Wild Mare for our anniversary tonight. They asked if we would like to sit in the tall table section since the main dining room was filled. No one gave us water or menues for about 10 minutes and just as we were about to walk out he brings water and asks if we know what we want . We told him, not without a menu. Then when we finally look thru the menu we decide on a small steak. They were completely out of all the smaller steaks and they are a STEAK HOUSE. So we left and went to Bradley O's where we actually got treated like real people with menus and everything and still had delicious food. read more

This steakhouse was a great place the first time there but the 2nd time was oh so diff. The first thing was the waiter not addressing 2 of the members at our table when they didn't want wine, for a party of 8 they did only bring 6 wine glasses but still did not ask the other 2 what they wanted. They finally ordered Lemonade which turned out to be water with a slice of lemon in it. Then appetizers were ordered and we only got 6 plates because the others were not clean yet. Finally the meal was ordered the two hamburger's were overcooked and did not have what was specifically asked for, one person's salad was about 4 leaves of yellow lettuce meaning, it was taken from the inside of a head of lettuce, this was sent back. Then the 2 most expensive items, Scallops were tepid and also had to be returned, only to get them back on warm plates indicating the had been microwaved and still were not real warm. The Alfredo was good,no meat, and the Mediterainian Fettucini was good but the person that had the Chicken Alfredo person was very ill the next day. Then the owner argued with the people about the meal and wanting some refund, they tried to give us coupons for further meal discounts there. ARE YOU KIDDING, after one of the mother's or you might say elders arouse from her seat with coat and purse in hand did the owner finally say that the 2 scallop dinners would be removed. That was a little relief for a 200.00 meal with very little wine. I might add the steakhouse was NOT full. Please think twice about choosing this place for a family meal. Thank you for your time. read more
