Three Forks Grille was recommended by our Airbnb host, and it was excellent. The setting is charming, with two levels and an intimate feel. We started with the appetizer special, a pear and feta salad, then split the bison short ribs and shared the lemon blueberry tart for dessert. I would happily go back for any one of those dishes. Our server was excellent. I believe his name was Eric, and he made the experience even better. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip. read more

Sat at the bar at Three Forks Grille, and the bartender was very friendly and attentive throughout the meal. I ordered the special, a New York strip. It was good, but it didn't quite blow me away. More importantly, it wasn't served as it had been described, and the sides were different from what I was told would come with it. Not a dealbreaker, but definitely a disappointment when ordering a special based on the description. The friendly, attentive service helped make up for it, and overall I still enjoyed my visit. A solid four-star experience. I would come back and give Three Forks Grill another try. read more

Between solid reviews here on Yelp and a recommendation from a friend, my wife and I decided Three Forks Grille was worth giving a try on a rare date night out. We arrived shortly after six on a Monday evening, easily found parking and, while about half the tables were full, we were seated quickly. Our waiter was kind but seemed nervous, reading the specials from a note pad. We started with sourdough and an order of calamari (yes, I know there isn't fresh squid within a hundred miles, it's one of our "always order to see what's up" dishes). Bread came out quickly with olive oil, balsamic, and some minced garlic - quite nice. A few minutes later, calamari - lightly breaded, perfectly fried, and a bit bland. It felt like they'd perfectly executed their vision, but it could've used a bit more seasoning to my taste. No tarter or other sauce, but a half lemon and some pickled sweet peppers. I ordered the bison burger and my wife went with the walleye. My burger was medium rare, as ordered, but the bottom bun was soggy and everything was buried in the thinly sliced red onion. It was fine but sadly forgettable other than having to slurp slices of onion after each bite. My wife raved about her walleye though, basically describing it as elevated nostalgia. It took her back to days of fishing on the lake with her family as a girl, but perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. We finished with an espresso crème brûlée, which took about 20 minute after our meal to arrive. Apparently the chef was newer and accidentally put pistachios on the brûlée, as we got the last espresso and the next batch was pistachio flavored. We didn't mind, but it had the thickest crust I've ever seen on a brûlée - probably an eighth inch thick. It took two solid whacks to break through and was so thick it felt more like a burnt caramel. The crème itself was lovely but, as someone who prepared hundreds of brûlées in an earlier job and has eaten many since, it was sadly overshadowed by far too much sugar on top. It was an overall pleasant experience but honestly I owe much of that to the company of my wife. If we go back, the only thing we'd reorder is the sourdough to start. My wife loved her fish but still said she'd try something else next time. read more

We tried to go one night but were too hungry to wait for a table - the hostess gave us a tip to get there right when they open for dinner and the timing after our hike worked out perfectly a couple nights later. They had a special on New York strips for two people in our group which were DELICIOUS, and I got bison which was unreal. Loved it! We couldn't leave without getting some deserts to go! All the food is really solid. We showed up in hats and hiking clothes and didn't feel out of place, but there were plenty others there in cute outfits having a nice date night! One note, they don't serve liquor there which was a surprise for us being from out of state. Not to worry, they have a great wine and beer selection! read more

Fantastic dinner. Our server was kind and kept our water glasses filled and brought our food in a timely manner. We ordered the NY strip steak, pork chop with huckleberry-jalepeno reduction sauce and the Flathead Lake Trout. The flavors were exceptional on all--so much depth of flavor it's impossible to describe. Well worth the visit. read more

Best meal I had in Glacier area. it was a long wait but it wasnt bad, there are some tables outside. the hostess said there was no wait before 6pm, not sure if it applies to everyday but if you dont have a reservation and wants to eat early without wait, it's worth a try. I was seated upstairs, our waiter was super friendly and very patient to explain the dishes and recommend some good dishes for us to try. I had the pork chop which is one of the most popular dish here. Usually i dont go for pork chop but they cook really well and the sauce is very well done with sweet and savory taste to it. the bacon burrata appetizer was just ok, dont think they actually go together well. my partner had the bison fettuccine, its really flavorful with large chunks of bison and a lot of meat. read more

We arrived around 7pm on a Monday and our wait was 20 minutes. There were many more people waiting as we exited after our meal so be patient. It's worth it. We split a garden salad with the bread service to start. They split the salad for us which was great. The bread was served warm with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Very good. It I chose the trout which was amazing. It had a nice light spice on top and came with broccoli and polenta. It was so good. Very happy with my choice. Husband had the bison fettuccine. It was a huge portion and I had a couple of bites. Also very good. It had a nice rich taste. We decided to get dessert and opted for the crème brûlée. Perfect choice that wasn't too heavy after so much food. It was a lovely place with a loft, smaller bar, and lower level seating with high and low table options. The bartender ended up being our server as our table was near the bar and he was excellent. Great stop. read more

The best part? The awesome staff member who greeted me at the door! Very kind and immediately got me seated with ice water and menus. Beautiful interior and nice feel! I had the Three Forks Burger with a GF bun and opted for coleslaw as the side. The slaw was terrible and I couldn't eat more than 2 bites- chewy larger pieces of purple cabbage and seemed like no other ingredients- maybe some oil and vinegar? The Berger was impossible to pick up and eat. The meat was good- but is was my mistake that I didn't catch that the cheese was Gorgonzola- which mixed with the garlic confit to create a mess that had melted and made a mess. Upon delivery of the food, I asked the server if he could bring me mayo. He walked away and never came back- just walked upstairs. I waited more than 6 minutes and finally asked another staff member who walked by if she could bring mayo, which she did. A few minutes after that, seriously 10 minutes after the burger had arrived,my server appeared with mayo.??? I wouldn't say this is not a good eating spot, as I only had a burger, but I can't give a high rating- my experience was only fair. read more

Waited about 45 minutes for a table this past Wednesday evening, but grabbed a drink and went to an outside patio to enjoy it so didn't mind waiting. Food was delicious and service was great (thank you Aaron). Highly recommend! read more

Have been here many times since it opened. The unique approach to food is never wrong. They focus on local and seasonal fare while using middle eastern spices as well as Asian approaches. The food is delicious. The servers from the time you walk are delightful and warm while knowledgeable about the menu. Wine and beer only. Good choices of Oregon and Washington vintages. Beers are often local ale makers. It is a warm and welcoming setting, you feel comfortable from the start. They take no reservations. A definite must go. read more

Three Forks Grill is a place with good food, outstanding service, and a great atmosphere. The menu changes twice a year (summer and winter), so if you are looking for something specific, call ahead. Our favorite appetizer is the roasted quail...outstanding. We love visiting this establishment, and so should you. read more

Oh my goodness, we were so excited for this meal. After a week of OK meals, we were ready for some fresh prepared food. Something with more of a farm to table vibe and we were not disappointed. I have zero pictures because we were so focused on the menu. We started with the prosciutto and Mellon appetizer, which was a little different than what I expected but delightful. We also shared the Caesar salad with trout, which was amazing. Between the three of us for dinner, we ordered the bison Bolognese, the trout and the risotto. We all got to try a little bit of everything and we're really pleased with the choice we made for dinner. I would definitely return. The service was prompt and helpful and the food the best we had all week. read more

Outstanding food with great service. The menus changes every six months and continues to amaze the pallet. You can't go wrong in dining here...highly recommend. read more

When we came in to this restaurant, we were warmly welcomed by the host at the front. We had excellent service from Kevin, our waiter, and all the staff in the restaurant. The food was amazing! A great menu with creativity and our choices did not disappoint! The scallop starter was delicious! My friend's Wagyu burger was awesome and my Lemon Chicken so flavorful and with such depth of flavors! The Italian Sangiovese red wine was a perfect pairing with all our menu choices. One of the best restaurants in Montana in my opinion, a great find! I have family in Columbia Falls and I will definitely go back again! read more

Great restaurant! Service great. Food good, although the gnocchi were a little over done.

Went here on a whim looking for some nice fish after going to the glacier park and this place did not disappoint! We were going to go somewhere else for trout but this place caught our eye with its fresh fish and locally sourced produced. Thursday night no reservations for a party of 3 took about a 40 minute wait, which is totally okay because we didn't have a reservation and we walked around the town. The host, Lily, was super friendly and made sure to pronounce my name right! The small things especially being a minority visiting in a town out here was very nice and she got us seated with waters and we didn't have to wait any longer than the estimated time. Our server whose name I did not get checked in once and took our orders, but I overheard Erin tell the other tables the specials and he seemed like such a charismatic person! He kept our water refilled and was very friendly. I had to ask our server about the specials, but it was a busy night and I'm there for the food so all good! The food was SO yummy! I had the salmon special myself. It was a pan seared salmon with roasted vegetables and I believe it's a polenta cake that was so good. Well balanced and the fish was cooked perfectly. The sauce wasn't overwhelming on the fish and was very pleasant. I tried the salad which I thought had a nice summer brightness to it with the blueberry balsamic I think it was, and the trout from their regular menu was also cooked nicely, but I loved my salmon for sure and would recommend trying their fish dishes. Would love to try their bison fettuccine if I get the chance to! read more

Great place to eat while in Columbia Falls. Service was great as well as the atmosphere. Limited seating so get there early. Had a family of 4 and everyone found something on the menu. read more

We didn't have a reservation and waited about 10 minutes. We were able to get drinks at the bar and sit out front and wait. We were sat upstairs and it was a cozy environment. Our server was very friendly, funny, and attentive even though he was busy with tables both up and downstairs. We got a Greek salad to start and my friend and I split it. It was pretty big. It came with a yogurt Greek dressing that was just ok. I got the trout for my entree. It was interesting and had lots of fancy additions like zucchini cakes, peach salsa of sorts. The fish was a little undercooked in some parts but otherwise it was good. read more

This amazing restaurant was over the top in every way possible. We stopped here after a long and beautiful day at Glacier Park! We arrived hungry and we left satisfied. The first thing I noticed was that the ambience was warm and welcoming. The wine list was great! Lots of choices both bottles and by the glass as well as beers and sparkling wine. A great wine can make a meal! We had the calamari and it was delicious. Cooked to perfection. Our mains were the Walleye which was the best I ever had and let me tell you that this fish is so rarely on the menu because walleye is not that common. It was a large portion and it is a mild and delicious and it came with polenta, green bean sauce and some arugula. Yum! We had some sourdough bread with oil and balsamic! My friends had one of their delicious goat cheese salads. It was so fresh and delicious! We also enjoyed their delicious flowerless chocolate cake. It was over the top! I Am a foodie and so a meal of this caliber is something that makes my day! It certainly did today! The only thing I can say is DON'T MISS THIS PLACE! read more

This restaurant was obviously very busy... too busy for the servers to keep up. We were told it would take 20 minutes to get a table but it was actually around 40. Our server took our drink and appetizer order but our apps came out before our drinks. We were completely done with appetizers before our order was taken and then had to wait almost 40 minutes for our food. Burgers were wrong and over cooked. read more

What a wonderful restaurant! We showed up 20 minutes before closing. They were very gracious and allowed us to join the waiting list. They are willing to seat people right up to closing and then do not rush you to leave. The food was delicious. I highly recommend the Bison fettuccine. It was so good! read more

Three Forks Grille - Bison Fettuccine - New American Near Me - Columbia Falls, Montana

An establishment to match the "Crown of the Continent!" Only 1200 miles away from Home in Montana. The food in this local establishment in Columbia Falls was unbelievably delicious and the service was exceptional. The food was so delish that our family came back to eat here twice on our visit to Glacier National Park. We appreciated the hostess for sitting our party of 12 quickly on a busy Friday and Sunday evening. We were the last customers in the restaurant on both nights (large family) and they were very kind and attentive to us even after closing. Highly recommend the Ribeye, New York Strip Steak, Rainbow Trout, Walleye Fish, and the Bison Pasta. Also don't forget to try the Pork Belly and Hummus appetizers! The desserts and kids options were great too! The prices are very reasonable considering the food quality, service and ambience! Highly recommended!!! Don't miss on your trip out to Glacier! read more

This might be the best trout I've ever had. I believe it's sourced locally from Flathead Lake. The sauce on the fish is top-notch, and the broccoli has an incredible amount of flavor. It's a refreshing and light dish. The atmosphere is great, with paintings hung up and the restaurant feeling very clean. Service was also excellent. Well done! read more

Food was delicious and the restaurant had a cool ambience. Service was great. Highly recommend.

Excellent food and service. We visited twice on our rent trip to Glacier National Park.

This place was busy so we got a drink from the bar and sat out front under the umbrella for about 15 minutes. Ordered the calamari to start... crispy warm squid mixed with cool cucumber corn salsa. It was a unique dish, but not sure I'd order it again. Couldn't pass up the peach feta salad, and loved the dressing! Opted for the trout special, and really enjoyed the fish, broccoli, and slaw. Ambiance is city bistro, service was prompt and friendly, and prices were slightly above expectation but in line. read more

Dinner with three fellow travelers during trip to Glacier National Park. I thought it would be a good idea to order fresh water fish, and was right. My Walleye consisted of large chunks of tender fresh fish, perfectly spiced and cooked. Delicious as it was, my wife's Grilled Lake Trout wit spinach and zucchini was even better. We traded substantial pieces and I agreed with her that it was the best tasting trout that we ever had. The bread was fresh and the service excellent. Altogether, this was one of the best meals I had in 2024. read more

Back from a long day at Glacier, this place, even though they were about to close, really stepped up. The service and ambiance were maybe too casual for food this good, but that's only to say the food really hit the spot. We had an excellent quail app, very tasty trout entree, and a bison pasta that was to die for... Really hit the spot! read more

Was looking forward to this meal coming to Glacier. Reading many great reviews. I guest my expectations were high but My whole group was disappointed with our meal. Even though it's off season, we still had to wait 30 mins at 6 pm. No reservations allowed- has to put your name on the list. Plus is they had some seating outdoors while you wait and can have a glass of wine. Our server is nice but a little bit slow getting our orders after they gave us water to start. We started with the calamari salad and fried avocado. The salad was great but the avocado is bland. We ordered the house special - with rainbow trout- ran out of halibut, the Berkshire pork chops, a vegetarian dish- stuffed zucchini squash, and walleye. The pork chop was the best dish. Has good flavors from the huckleberry. The rest of the dish was just ok. The fish dishes lacks acidity and taste, had to ask for extra lemon. The vegetables dish is ok, nothing spectacular. Place is very clean. Staff is nice and helpful. Street parking. Clean bathroom. read more
