Glacier Highland

Had the best breakfast here at a reasonable price! Pancakes, omelettes and breakfast potatoes were delicious! The staff were nice and friendly and service was quick. It was cozy and had a nice home feeling to its ambiance and neat watercolor painting on the wall. Much better breakfast than what you can get in the park. Will definitely be back again.

Ive never written a reivew in my life but i left this place and have been so grateful for my stay there, and its been pressing on my heart to let this place know what a wonderful trip this ended up being. My husband and I were not disappointed in choosing The Glacier Highland. During our stay the staff was friendly and so attentive. The room was clean and felt like a combination of a much simpler time with some modern touch ups. The amenities in the room are limited (no microwave) but we enjoyed the food at the restaurant so much we ate every meal there. We tried several of the pies and they did not dissapoint. I was told the pie is made fresh each day by the owner by one of the waitresses. The customer care is unmatched. My husband and I have a hard time getting around these days and on our last day we were exhausted and we were feeling a little overwhelmed by the several trips we would have to make up and down the big hill to get our luggage to the train. Trin, who was cleaning the room next to ours overheard us talking about it (we are loud talkers) and told us he'd be happy to help get our luggage down the hill. We told him he didn't need to do that and that our train was later in the night probably after he was off work ( it was 10 am and our train didnt leave until night) and he asked what time our train was and we told him and he said it would "make his day if he could give us a hand down the hill" with enthusiasm. I actually believed it would hehe And truthfully we wanted the help but didn't know how or who to ask so this was a gift. Trin showed up later with a smile on his face in a golf cart and got everything including my husband and I down the big hill there and all the while making us laugh and doing all the work. It took 2 trips. We were so relieved and the interaction made us feel a little less exhausted. The highland makes you a part of their family. I've never been treated so well in a business. Thank you.

We made a last minute decision to come on over from East Glacier via Amtrak so that we could explore this side of Glacier. Would not recommend coming here without a car! Rooms were large and clean, location is amazing, and the owner/family is super nice. They saved my family's day since we had no luck with Uber, Lyft and Taxi and was almost stranded!

TLDR: The bare minimum for a clean stay was achieved, however 'low hanging' fruit didnt seem to be a priority and could have enhanced the stay. I understand paying a premium for convenience to the park and that hotels get alot of wear/tear, however I next time I think we will try elsewhere. We were able to get much more value for same price points at other hotels at similar distance to Glacier National Park. ||The hotel room was clean enough however very small esp for family of four adults. The sink drain was significantly plugged upon arrival late in day, but fixed next day, which was good, but seems that should have been observed before check-in. There were coffee grinds in the coffee maker upon arrival - yuk! The bathroom area has one small towel bar next to shower and the door hook was missing/broken. There was no towel bar at sink area so piles of towels sit there damp. ||Unfortunately it was quite rainy during our stay and there were no inside chairs (because the rooms are too small- there are chairs outside) or hooks to dry out clothes and coats in the main room and in bathroom area. So we ended up hanging wet stuff on things that probably shouldn't have gotten wet(cabinets, electronics etc) which probably doesnt help keep the room tidy over the long run. || The adjoining restaurant was great and we ate their several times. If the establishment could just finalize a few finishing touches at the hotel, or prioritize it as much as the restaurant, it probably would be a fine place to stay. ||I debated of 'average' vs 'poor' rating and went with average- because it was generally clean - i've stayed in worse for sure. We tried to like the stay- we really did- but we wont be coming back to the motel next time we come to Glaicer.

We stayed at the motel for 4 nights during the heat wave earlier this month, July 2024. I was initially concerned about the lack of air conditioning because we prefer our room to be cold, cold, cold, but once we opened the bathroom window and then put the box fan into the main room window and pumped the warm air to the outside, it cooled right down and it wasn't an issue. What a surprise! The room was recently updated but still needs some bathroom accessories (towel racks, hooks) and was otherwise clean and comfortable. There was a coffee maker and a mini fridge. The bed was very comfortable, and I consider myself a mattress snob. There was a stand-up shower (no tub) with nice shower stream with hot water. We also ate at the restaurant, twice for dinner and 4 times for breakfast. All of our meals were excellent with top-notch service. The huckleberry pie was an absolute delight! I would have given 5 stars, however, there was one glaring issue that I must address. We stayed in one of the rooms halfway up the hill, and there is a retaining wall that runs the length of the driveway to the rooms. Along the top of the retaining wall there were several short iron posts (I counted at least 5 of them) that were hammered into the ground, and each post had a steel-jaw leg trap set to catch ground squirrels. Throughout our stay, as we drove up and down the driveway, several of the traps had caught a squirrel with the poor little things screaming and dangling by their caught limbs, fully alive, suffering, and waiting for death. It was beyond horrific. We came to Montana to enjoy nature, the beautiful scenery, and the wildlife. I cannot imagine how a small child would have reacted upon seeing the squirrels in their anguish, flailing around helplessly, trying to free themselves of the trap. While I fully realize that ground squirrels can be a nuisance and destructive, there are better, more humane, ways of eradicating, or at least managing, their numbers. For every squirrel that we encountered caught in the traps, we were able to set them free.

Chose this motel based on proximity to Glacier National Park and price, as accommodations in this area are $$$$. We were greeted by a very friendly and informative front desk person. Wish I could remember his name because we had a very positive check in and check out experience. We stayed in room 6 and expected a rustic room. It was updated and very clean, and I'm picky. While the accommodations are basic, we were impressed with the bed comfort, and how cool the room was despite not having a/c and the 35 degree temps outside on arrival. The train noise was minimal during the night with windows wide open and did not hear other guests despite neighbouring rooms being occupied. The proximity to restaurants, gas, and having West Glacier village within walking distance was perfect! It was a great stay on a budget for our family of 4. Would 100% stay here again if we return to the area.

Says that it's updated recently but I don't see where. Our family had 4 different rooms and they were sad. Bathroom was dirty with blood spots on the walls. Boogers on walls in bathroom and by bed closest to window. Pillows were flat and blankets were not the best. Only thing going for it was the location and ease to the park. Does have a nice general store/gas station/restaurant right in front. Never ate there but the store was clean and had basic things and cute souvenirs.

Review is based on restaurant: Friend and I stopped by for a meal as we made our way through the park. I got the blue cheese burger and it was okay. The blue cheese was mild and wasnt as strong as I'd like it. The large stick fries that came with the burger was equivalent to 1.5 potatoes. I probably wont't come back here in the future. Staff was nice but not necessarily attentive.

Pie is super fruity, flavorful with a great toasted crust! Portion size is generous with the pie slice and the ice cream scoop. After tasting pie at three places in the area, this really was the best one. Huckleberry ice cream was also delicious Huckleberry - classic and very fruit filled. Had a bit of a tart flavor too so it's not just sugar Huckleberry Peach - my favorite I enjoyed the peach slices in addition to the tart huckleberries Coconut cream - super fluffy, airy and light coconut flavor Service was a bit slow but it was a busy day with most/all tables filled even for a Monday evening. Was able to get a beer pint while waiting

We search for breakfast place on Glacier and we decided to try Glacier Highland Restaurant. Food was super good, we came in lunch time and we try a delicious burger and soup. I try 2 of their beers and they were refreshing. The place is clean and nice, very comfortable to rest and continue with our adventure. The food was fresh and tasty and our server was nice. I do recommend this place and I'll make sure to try the breakfast next time

Stopped here for dinner after a tiring day of hiking in Many Glacier and a long drive back to West Glacier. Food: good. Service: bare minimum. Ambiance: crowded. Value: OK. Overall: Good place to eat dinner if you need to relax before heading back to your campground or hotel. We got the bison burger, huckleberry burger, and steak salad. All were good.

The best meal I had in Glacier NP was at this place. I had the trout with spinach quinoa and took a huckleberry pie to go. We also had the steak and that was tasty. To start I had the salad with huckleberry dressing. I suggest you go early if you want to be seated right away.

We loved this little diner-style restaurant in Glacier so much we went twice! We tried the trout, chicken pot pie, cold noodle bowl with crispy chicken, and bison meatballs. Everything was delicious and you can't leave without a slice of homemade pie!

A great stop while in the Glacier Park area. The service is friendly and efficient. The food is home style and delicious. Don't leave without a slice of pie!

MT: 4.5 stars. It was good enough to go here 2x during our stay at Glacier Natl Park. Dinner was great so we came again for breakfast on our last day. All entrees were good. The ramen dish had too much sauce so was salty

The Huckleberry Pie... Tell me I haven't died and gone to heaven. It was an ethereal experience. Literally mind bending and I don't even like deserts. The bison burger was good too and it has an outdoor patio and dog friendly too. Yeah it's a little pricey but everything is pricey these days. Check it out.

We came here for dinner when everything at Apgar Village was closed. I asked for a refreshing beer as I was tired after st Mary falls hike and one more hike and drove all the way back from St Mary to Apgar village. The waiter recommended a Lager which worked pretty well. I don't remember the name of the beer but it was really refreshing. Food was good as well. The huckleberry pie was awesome, pie base was so soft and melted in my mouth. The ambience was clean and calm. Please reply with the name of Lager If someone knows it.

My family and I ate at this restaurant twice, once for supper and once for breakfast. Can not recommend this place enough. We had pizza for supper which was so cheesy and had a satisfying crust! Had an omelet for breakfast...and also more pie. They have real half and half for coffee which I prefer. If I ever make it back to Glacier I will surly be eating here again.

Our server was Kristi and she was very attentive to our needs and responded well to my husbands silly jokes.

Good variety, good food, good service. Prices are high, but I realize all these places in this area have a short season to recover their costs and make a profit.

Looking for restaurant that was open late. Stopped in at Glacier Highland and was very impressed. I had the meatballs and i am still craving more now that I'm home. All the sides were really good. My husband had a burger and loved it. Food served quick and friendly service. Of course we had some pie to go. Yum!

Came here after hiking all day in Glacier National Park. We ordered these items: buffalo meatloaf with mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables (broccoli and carrots), chicken pot pie, hiking poles (essentially a flatbread with pesto and cheese), a slice of huck-peach pie a la mode, and a slice of huckleberry lemon cream pie. Overall, our consensus was that the food is good but pricey for what you get. The pies are $8 a slice regardless of whether you get them a la mode or on their own. The buffalo meatloaf gravy was flavorful and the meatloaf wasn't dry. The chicken pot pie was unique in that it was deconstructed with the filling sandwiched between two flaky layers of puff pastry. The hiking poles were amazing. We didn't have any expectations but we couldn't stop eating them. If you're visiting Glacier, looking for a good meal, and aren't on a tight budget, Glacier Highland Restaurant is a solid option.

The food and service here were amazing! Our first night in West Glacier and we found this spot. There were four of us and we all had something different. It was all delicious and our server, Dan, was awesome.

We were greeted right away and told to sit wherever we liked it was around 11am and it was pretty busy as it is right in front of GNP west entrance however the wait was not long at all plus the server was very friendly. The food was good. My first time eating huckleberries they are a little tart but go well with the syrup. This place is connected to a gift shop/gas station but the food doesn't take like gas station food at all it's clean and quite Lots of pies to choose from.

Food was delicious. Huckleberry cream pie and banana cream pie were SO GOOD! Huckleberry burger had great flavors. BUT they basically served the meat raw, without asking, so -2 stars for that. It should've been -4 but the lies were just so delicious. The burger was seared but the inside wasn't even pink, it was straight up RED. NOT how I like my ground meat to be cooked. It was the same with the steak. We couldn't eat it. If you're going to serve your steak blue (and ESPECIALLY if that's how you prepare burgers), you've got to check with the customer if that's ok! Nobody ever asked how we wanted our meat done. And of course we didn't discover this till we were miles away trying to eat our dinner, so we couldn't ask them to finish cooking the meat.

We stopped at this place for lunch. No signal in the park so we had to stop at the first place we saw. There is a little gift shop on one side of the restaurant. The staff was friendly. And we got seated pretty quickly even though they were very busy. Our friends ordered the fish sandwich and the bison burger. My husband got a cheeseburger and I got a turkey sandwich. Everything tasted good. Just not spectacular. We all had pie after the meal. And that was the best part !! Just go for the pie! I had apple with ice cream my friend got huckleberry peach and let me try a bite but it was very tart and I didn't like it. The guys got lemon cream that was very delicious. Skip the meal and just get the pie!

I ordered the bision burger, I love bison this was maybe the most disappointing burger. It was flavorless same with the side soup it came with, Moroccan beef. But sure what this place has that gives it a 4 star rating but it's not these items. The service was fine, I mean I walked in said it was just me then told "since it's just you, you want to sit at the bar" I said ok. I already knew what I was getting so I ordered, got my food, ate it, paid then left. I do not recommend based on the one menu item I ordered but I did see a lot of pizza to go orders so maybe that's their thing.

Great spot with a great menu and lovely staff! We stopped after the road trip and there were bus loads of park visitors. A bit of a delay to order, but the meal arrived quickly and hot!

I'm getting on this app because this place deserves 100/10. So yummy. The food is spectacular and service so friendly and kind. We ate there twice on our trip! Get the huckleberry pie obviously

Great Food! They were a little busy, but it didn't take too long. My husband raves about the pot pie to everyone!

Ate here four times during our stay and had different food each time and everything was excellent, not just your average burger. Hummus fries? Stop the train! Inventive pizza, fresh ingredients--cannot recommend enough! Right outside Glacier NP.

Food is not worth the price at all. Decent but not good. Just wanted some food after a long Day in glacier park. Local rainbow trout was the best but the Buffalo meatballs were not great.

I'm honestly confused by the menu items and restaraunt theme and it was not worth the price. Upon entrance and look at the menu, the place gives a more high end fine dining expierence. They offer wine, beer and a variety of menu options. Their menu items on average is $20+ and for 2 people, drinks, dessert and entrees we paid over $70. You'd expect something of more higher quality on food expierence, but that did not deliver during my visit. Their silverware is wrapped in paper napkins. You get water served in a plastic cup and then a gorgeous water jug made of glass. The receipt is given in a written pad check given on a table made of granite and fine wood chairs. Their menu items absolutely does not tie into their theme (whatever the theme is) - you have things from homemade huckleberry pie, chicken pot pie, tacos, and a Thai bowl. That is American, Mexican, and thai inspired dishes in 1 menu - which is something I'd expect at a Cheesecake Factory...but even Cheesecake Factory has a theme with menu items averaging below $20. Don't even get me started with the Thai Bowl. It was definitely not worth $20+. It was basically a garden salad & quinoa with sad breaded chicken with a side of peanut sauce. Nothing Buddah or Thai about it. It's like they added peanut sauce and called it Thai.They could have at least aligned the bowl with some authentic Thai ingredients and flavor profiles like rice, lemongrass, rice noodles, coconut, etc. Definitely not worth $20+. If you're trailing Glacier park looking for some food or driving by on a roadtrip, I reccomend you eat somewhere else more affordable to meet your need for food. This is not the place to go unless you're looking for something different like bison sliders or steak skewers with chimmichuri. This $70+ check would have gotten me a way better fine dine-in expierence in the city. Also, the service was ok. The first thing our waiter said was "you know what you want?" Nothing else - didn't introduce themselves, didn't offer any drinks to start with. Yeah. That was it. Anyone who has worked at a fine dine in restaraunt or who understands the class of the industry will know that this restaraunt can do better. Even if they weren't going for a fine-dine in feel.

Breakfast was very good, but with other reviews, this place does seem to be money hungry. Ordered the pancake egg and sausage combo. $2 uncharged for patty. But. I do not like eggs so asked if I could sub for hash browns. Waitress did not like this at all and said would ask. I said that was fine, if could not sub, I would change my order. Food was very slow in coming out, when did, she dropped off really quickly and left. No has browns and no eggs with mine. She never returned until way after we were done. I asked for her to change bill to pancake and sausage, which is what I had. She argued and insisted that word be more money which is absolutely NOT true. It was $5 more the way it was. I had already looked it up. I just paid cash with a tip and told her it would just be more tip for her. She was so insistent and making a scene and had no worries about the customer.

Wonderful!!!! Excellent staff and service! We just finished a long bike ride with Trek Travel and had lunch here. Big Bleu Burger and Razzleberry pie a la mode. Can't be beat!

This lovely restaurant has been the bright spot during our stay in Glacier. The food is phenomenal. Dana is kind and took really good care of us. We've generally been there for breakfast but plan to try lunch today. The restaurant and gift shop, surviving Covid, has been in business and owned by the same family for 60 years. We highly suggest you give it a try.

If you are looking for a good meal near the west entrance of Glacier National Park, this is your best bet. The food is fresh, hot & the best in the area. The pies are excellent---try one of the huckleberry pies!

Very cool place, with very tasty Sammy's. Server was friendly and helpful. You have very few choices near the entrance to west glacier. This is a standout.Try it I think you will be happy

The food was good and reasonably priced. The service however is slow our waitress was busy visiting with customers and we had to get our own menus. She is young and has a lot to learn

What a fun filled day. It is great for the whole family. There is the ropes course a zip line and don't forget the water slide fun fun fun.

This was a great place. We got lucky and came right before a rush. Regardless it would have been worth the wait.

A cute place in West Glacier with a nice gift shop to walk through. First of all I have to give a shout out to Daniel H. as he was our server and the one who seated us. He was great to talk to and was very prompt on the service with great follow up. I had the Thai Buddha Bowl which was not great. The meat was so over seasoned with Mediterranean spices it was too difficult to eat. I love seasoning and spices just not that much. The Thai Peanut sauce cooked it down some, but there wasn't enough to make a big difference. Hubby had the Bison burger. It was juicy and flavorful and what a good burger should be. The onion rings were amazing. Crunchy and hot and dipped into the ranch dressing....yum. The pie, oh the pie. We shared a piece of the Glacier chocolate pie. Daniel recommended it over other choice. It was so good. If you like chocolate, you'll love this pie! He told us about another pie that is good too, we brought home a slice of that (Candy Bar pie?) and we can't wait to try that.

Great food, great service! Definitely recommend the huckleberry cream pie, it's so delicious!

Great place. Competitive prices, excellent food. Ate there 3 times. Breakfast was great. Crispy bacon, eggs over easy were perfect, as were the potatoes and pancakes. Late lunch/early dinner was a bison burger. Presented well, great fries. Tasty.

The restaurant was very nice, the staff friendly and the store very well stocked. The food was not great. I had the Chicken Thai Bowl. The concept was great, not the execution. There was so much funky spice used for the chicken that I could not taste anything else in the bowl. All I tasted was the overpowering spice. My wife had the quesadilla and she said it was so greasy and tasteless. For the most part it was nothing but beans and a small amount of cheese on the inside.

This place is absolutely AMAZING!!! Family owned and operated and the food is incredible. We had lunch here and decided to come back for breakfast. Needless to say we will definitely be back! Don't waste your time or money at the restaurants inside the park, they're terrible and overpriced. You're definitely missing out if you don't eat here!

When on vacation, my family usually makes a point of trying different restaurants. However, we kept coming back to the Glacier Highland, eating dinner there all three nights of our Glacier stay. It was fantastic every time! Their menu is unique, and the food is to die for. One night we ordered from the pizza menu, and it was also yummy. The service was friendly and fast. I can't recommend this place enough. After dinner, you can shop at the attached store for needed supplies. Both were open until 10pm, which was great for our late-night family.

We were staying nearby for a wedding. With not many options close by, we were here each day of our stay. Food was excellent and portions hearty. Nice selection of local beers and wines. Mimosas served in silver flutes to keep them cold. Our server was friendly and accommodating. Only negative more- they are serious about timing for breakfast, lunch and dinner. No flexibility there. Very good at enforcing safety rules.

Stopped at this restaurant on the way back to the hotel from a day at the state park. Was seriously disappointed with the route the management decided to take on the mask. Requiring mask is one thing and understandable. Placing signs in your lobby that shame anyone for not wearing them was not a good choice. Simply require it, don't go to shame. My biggest take away was the fact that they have signs at each table saying your required to put your mask on if a waiter comes by. Meaning every time a waiter was to grab a cup, bring anything to the table or ask if we needed anything eating had to stop and a mask must be placed on your face. Paying for a nice meal out and receiving shame and being irritated with continuous mask wearing while eating and drinking was a huge disappointment.

We spent the day hiking with only water and protein snacks to sustain us and were starving. We ordered the bison burger and the bleu cheese burger with hand cut fries. Everything was amazing. They have a nice selection of local beers on tap, also. We ate every single crumb of our delicious food, and unfortunately had no room left for the pie. Next time! Oh, I would be remiss if I did not mention the service, which was swift and friendly, even though the restaurant was filling up with early diners. This place is a gem in a humble setting. Don't miss it.

What a great little place outside the park. We came here late one night and had to wait a bit for seats but that was ok. The staff was wonderful and all masked during the time of Covid. The menu was very unique, def not what I was expected. We ordered chicken pot pit and a thai bowl of some sort. Both were excellent. The service was super on top of things and we received our food quickly. Prices were good as well. The inside was a little tight but everyone was social distanced so that was good!

I'm so glad we decided to try this place. It was so good we went back for lunch the next day. I had the trout with rice and vegetables. I don't know what they put on those veggies but I could have eaten a whole plate full. The trout was light and tasty and perfectly prepared. My husband had a burger and fries. I admit I stole one of his fries and that was what sent me back for day two. Hubby and I both had the bison burger (medium-rare for me) and it did not disappoint! The fries were perfection. If we ever visit again I'm ordering a whole plate of veggies and another whole plate of fries. And after that I'm getting several different slices of pie. You just can't leave without trying at least one slice. The huckleberry is fantastic and I'm sure all the others are just as good. Thank you Glacier Highland Restaurant for four excellent meals and dessert!

I wish I had checked yelp before dining here. The "Buddha Bowl" was more like a bag of iceberg lettuce with microwaved chicken on top. The fresh veggies in the description excited me. I love vegetables but they must have considered a few strands of grated carrot qualify. I would say the description is misleading at best and a complete lie to be more accurate. I'd liken it to a prepared salad you would find at a gas station for $5 and maybe it would be ok because the only other option is a gas station burger, but not here. This does not feel ok for $5 let alone $21 I feel violated like I just got scammed. This is not an honest business.

What a treat to find this place when we stopped for gas. Has the Caprese Sandwich and a BLT. Both fabulous. Came with a delicious soup, and great salad. We will be back in West Glacier tomorrow night and can't wait forburgers and the draft Cold Smoke Scoth Ale. Yum!!

Great food and extra great friendly service. We went two days in a row, high quality food, nicely presented. One of our favorite finds on our trip to Montana.

what a surprising delight! The Grizzly was fantastic. Excellent onion rings-- they even have a nice little selection of beer on tap. wonderful hosts, too. will return for pie!

We stayed in West Glacier for 6 days and found this place the 1st morning there. Had the huckleberry style pancakes and was hooked immediately! We went back that night for dinner, which was absolutely great, but the pies! Cheri (owner) makes THE BEST homemade pies! Needless to say we ate there every day that we were there. Left this morning but made sure we stopped by for lunch and pies to go. I highly recommend this place.
