Marli's at the Pollard

Marli's has a broad menu with all the top crowd pleasers - hearty, comfort food classics. Awesome place for breakfast. The portions are large and obviously fresh made. Service was super friendly and definitely gives off the small town vibe. The atmosphere is perfect for what it is - a quaint and iconic mountain-town staple. A must-go when visiting Red Lodge. You won't be disappointed.

Food was alright, but service from Rossilynn was absolutely lacking, she asked me for a drink, I said a soda, then she ran off to do other things till I reminded her about my soda. Then, from there on out she was very quiet, dropped off my food without saying a word. Felt very cold and judging! Same with her dropping off my ticket. (which yet again i had to ask her to do that as I was in a rush to get ready for the renaissance festival and I had at that point finished my food like 5 minutes before) Only thing I liked about this place was the atmosphere, loved all the old photos of red lodge on the walls. Best in red lodge for breakfast joints in that regard... but to be fair there isn't all that many breakfast places here.

Great breakfast! Had the western skillet and the eggs Benedict and the ham in dish was high quality and delicious. The service was great. Shout out to our server Maya who was a blast to talk to! She was friendly and awesome! The cafe has a great ambiance to it. The eggs were cooked perfectly as were the veggies. Never ran out of coffee or water! Excellent service and excellent food. Highly recommend!!

There is an older waitress there who treated us less warmly than the other patrons. The only difference between us and them was the melanin in our skin 🤔. Food tastes good albeit a bit overpriced for the portions you get (see 1/2 sandwich in pic).

The hostess was amazing and sweet, but the server was one of my least favorite on this trip and fairly rude. We were ignored and left without beverages for a long time. Had to wait until the food came out for cream and sugar for the coffee. The food was decent, but so highly overpriced. Worst coffee I’ve had in a long time. Had to wait for about ten minutes at the bar to check out after being given our receipt. Decided to just grab water in the car because we could not wait for a refill. Probably the worst service I’ve had over the last few years. I got sick just a few hours later. Im impressed that they maintain such a high ranking on google.

Beautiful building and friendly server, but the food has consistently disappointed. During my recent visit, I ordered over-easy eggs, but the whites were completely uncooked—just running all over the plate. I couldn't eat them. For reference, here’s how to cook over-easy eggs properly: First, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil. Once hot, crack the eggs into the pan and let them cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Then, gently flip the eggs using a spatula and cook for another minute until the whites are fully cooked, but the yolk remains runny. Our server didn’t check on us after the initial bites, and when she finally returned, we were already pressed for time. Her suggestion to order them “more over medium” made me laugh; I specifically wanted a runny yolk with properly cooked whites. I hope the owners take note of this. It’s essential to train the kitchen staff on how to prepare eggs correctly.

Breakfast was quite good, but a bit pricey. But when we went back for dinner, we could not even find a host or waiter. Left after waiting ignored for 15 minutes!

Polite, quick, and professional service. Wonderful presentation on the food and it was amazing too.
