Jameson BBQ brisket sandwich with garlic, parmasean cheese fries.
Maria D.

The food was delicious and served fast. I had the Jameson bbq brisket sandwich on a pretzel bun and garlic parmasean cheese fries. Our server was gracious and attentive. This is my second time eating here when visiting my son in Montana.

Definitely a popular place to eat. Special of the day was Fish and Chips $12 Clam chowder $2 The clam chowder was delicious and you could actually see clams. Fish was good but I had to pull the breading off it was soaked in oil. Service was friendly.

Three of us were here the first week of March....behind in my posting. There were two sides to this large restaurant. We sat in the restaurant section but the other side is a bar. Two of us got a Mac n cheese dish and one got wings. I was really surprised at the size of the bowl of Mac and cheese. It came hot and was very rich, so no way I could finish it. I had a bowl of soup but it was just ok, nothing I would get again. The wings were reported as good too. We got a side of fries and I was expecting something special but I have had much better fries elsewhere. Only ate two. The server was good and supplied all we needed with a smile. The tables were clean and the decor was good. Has some historical items and pictures that was interesting. I would give it a 3.5....more than zero three but not a four. There are other places with a more varied menu.

Gulch burger(great!) texMex salad(good but spicy)

2.5 stars... In town for lunch on the way to Gkacier, and this looked like a hood Yelp joint! Started out with a huckleberry mule and local brew, there were many to choose from! Ordered the gulch burger and substituted pepper Jack for the blue... great smoky sweet burger. Slightly overdone but was not dry. The sweet potato fries were lukewarm and mushy, but by the time we could flag down the bartender it was too late to get fresh ones. Salad was great mix of Southwest ingredients and greens, topped with sliced chicken. The dressing was spicy, so add to your taste. Took a long time for the bartender to recognize us, and every action thereafter was delayed, disappointed. This joint does not make the list...

They don't bring the starter out till quite a bit after you get your meal. They charge a lot and it's not worth it

This is also your typical sports bar with lots of TVs and if you aren't going outside to golf there's a golf simulator inside. They have about 10 beers on tap; I got the cold smoke scotch ale which was good. I also ordered the tater tots ($4) with salsa, shredded lettuce, and jalapenos which are toppings at no extra cost. However you can add other toppings such as guacamole, meat, queso, and sour cream each for a couple bucks more. I was actually hoping to get some dinner here based on some previous pictures and menus. However the bartender I talked to mentioned that the owner was leaving and taking his recipes with him, meaning that they had to scale back their menu to only be the typical dive bar food like wings and things. She also mentioned that the customers at the golf course actually prefer it to be a quiet bar for the golf course goers instead of a busier place so there isn't much desire to get a new full menu. If you're looking for a more substantial meal now moving forward this is not the place for you.

Great service, good good, wish menu had more items that seemed a bit innovative like I had seen…read moreonline!

Looks almost like a dive from outside but once you walk in they have a fantastic selection of fine spirits and a few good beers on tap along with a whole section of slots and gambling but it has a great atmosphere and feel inside.

He gave us peppermint instead. I told him I didn't order that and he said that I did and that's what I said. I hate peppermint! I asked for our money back as they didn't have it. There obviously was miscommunication, he told me to get the "f" out of the bar and if not, he was calling the police. My husband asked him what we had done, Luke wouldn't answer him. He was violent acting! He grabbed our beers that we hadn't even took a sip out of, called us MF and to get the "f" out. We felt harassed and embarrassed. I had a Haps hoodie sweatshirt on at the time which I am burning. He doesn't know a thing about customer service. He could've handled that situation differently, like offered something else instead but didn't. UPDATE: After a night of no sleep, I called Brent the owner the next morning to talk to him about the incident. He was very understanding and empathetic. He would speak to Luke and ask him why the situation escalated to anger over something so insignificant. He told us to come back in and he would make it right. I definitely will. I love this bar, have been patronizing this bar off and on since the late 90's.
