Snowgoose Grille & Gift Shop

Stopped here on our way to Going-to-the-Sun Road for lunch. The view out of the windows just awe-dropping beautiful. This felt more like a fast food restaurant with upscale waiters. Service was quick and fast. We arrived just in time as the restaurant was filling up fast. I had the Chickpea Wrap which was quite delightful, family friend had the Bison Chili, Half Sandwich and soup, and one other had the Caesar Salad. All was well presented and no complains. Overall, a nice experience and relaxing spot before continuing on our way. The restaurant is located in the Lodge and sharing space with a gift shop. Entry is pleasant with pots of bright flowers along the porch.

I went there the first time as part of a tour. It was so delicious that I stopped in again before heading home at the end of my vacation. Their Bison Cheese Burger is delicious, and their Bison Nachos are, too. Their Bison Chili is amazing (I had a cup the first time and upgraded to a bowl the second!). The real hook is their Huckleberry Pie! It is hands-down the absolute best Huckleberry dessert I had during my week at the park. It's absolutely incredible!

I don’t really know where to start here. Weekend for the ages, but unfortunately the food we consumed after the hike was not great. I ordered the ribeye… very over priced, bland flavor and Walmart quality meat. The chicken sandwiches were very dry. The shrimp and grits was bad. Only bright spots here were the caesar and braised pork (neither of which I ordered). Save your money or lower expectations if planning to dine here. Service was 5/5 stars though.

We enjoyed all the dishes we ordered for dinner, maybe except the hummus. The salmon, steak and salad were all delicious. The hummus was a bit plain. The cocktail with boba was a fun try

We really enjoyed our meal. The bison burger and huckleberry pie were tasty and can’t beat the view. Service was also fast, def recommend.

The food is always absolutely awesome at Snowgoose Grill at St Mary's Lodge. I had the ribeye here this time, but no matter the food & dessert is always excellent! I've eaten here about a dozen times and the food is always top notch! Breakfast is wonderful too by the way.

Disappointed! Expected to go out for a nice meal to celebrate Glacier. I would find another place. Here’s why the one star. MENU: They brought us menus one for beer and one for dinner. The dinner menu was pricey, then I noticed the guy next to me eating a burger, that wasn’t on the dinner menu. I asked the server, turns out they have a lunch menu that you can order from. The managers want them to push the dinner menu, obviously more profit and tips. Ask for the lunch menu if you want sandwiches. See the pictures. Wanted the Amber beer, they were out. To RARE. Ordered the Buffalo burger. Server didn’t ask how I’d like it cooked and shame on me for not saying something. I like medium well and this came back barely cooked. I should have sent it back but we had already waited to long. See Picture. Slow food service. Way to expensive, I expect a lot more for the prices. We ended up drinking the huckleberry beer and the Buffalo stroganoff was pretty good.

My husband raved about the food when he visited glacier a few years back. This stay unfortunately has been less then ideal. They have been out of quite a few items - and don't seem to be restocking (end of season??) Food was decent - service was "ok" (lack of refills, lack of to-go boxes, wrong items on bill etc). Brandon who served us our first day for lunch was AMAZING and I should have tried to request him the rest of the times we dined in. Seems like we are at the "end of season" with burnt out employees, lack of menu items but full season pricing. Pricing is definitely "5 star resort pricing" but the overall quality just doesn't warrant it.

Third time here, still as good as I remember! The mac & cheese was kind of a hidden kids menu item, but the portion was really big and quite honestly it was the best part of the meal! Just enough cheese to noodle ratio, the noodles were al dente, it was so good. The Caesar was just a normal salad, nothing exceptional, but was not bad. The bison burger was cooked well, Everything that came with it tasted great. All in all, another great visit!

The lodge is rustic & lovely. We were quickly seated by a big window. Emma, our waitress was personable & efficient. Known for huckleberry & they have pie, crisps & margaritas. The bison entrees, salads & chili look delicious. There were gluten free & vegan choices. I started with the pretty & delicious margarita. I enjoyed my bison chili & snow goose salad with a huckleberry crisp for dessert. I enjoyed our lunch.

Service was great and because it's early in the season it is not crowded. Price are a little higher but you're in a tourist area. Food was good and the time from ordering to table was good.

After heading out early on the Going to the Sun Road, getting a late lunch at Snowgoose Grille fit the bill. This is a casual and rustic restaurant. I had the fried chicken sandwich with fries, and it was solid diner food. The fries were really good with a slightly crunchy exterior and not mushy inside. The chicken thigh was small but sufficient. Service was fairly quick in terms of placing the order and the food came out quickly.

After a long hike at Scenic Point, we were too tired to cook in our cabin and decided to stop at Saint Mary's lodge to have dinner. The food is very good, a bit on the pricey side. Lexi, our server, was friendly and helpful in giving recommendations on what to order. The place is a bit dark, but very spacious. We ordered a couple of appetizers, the artichoke/spinach dips served with chips, and cauliflower Buffalo. They were not bad. For the main menu, both meat dishes ordered were good, trout was alright. Overall, we don't mind coming again. Restaurant choices are kinda limited in the Eastern side of GNP.

Great service, super friendly staff. Great stop for lunch while driving through Glacier National Park. I got the bison nachos and they were so yummy!

Nice place around the St Mary! Location is convenient. If you stay in Rising Sun, it is still pretty reachable. The waitress is nice and friendly. We took the RIBEYE and SHRIMP & GRITS there. They were wonderful. (Sorry no photos, as the food were so great that I forgot to take photos for them.)

The restaurant is tucked in the back with nice views. We led to a corner table, our waitress Mackenzie was super nice. We didn't wait for too long but she was apologetic about the wait as she was serving others. We ordered the recommended Bison Quesadilla and picked strawberry salad both are awesome, I love the salad a lot (it's huge!). We also got a roasted pepper soup (the only soup option they had) which was a okay. Mackenzie also got us a complimentary huckleberry ice cream for the wait at the beginning, it was very tasty and we appreciate it too.

We stumbled in here for a bite to eat for lunch after a nice drive through the park. We honestly didn't even know there was a town on the other side of the park but man were we hungry. The staff seemed chaotic and busy but brought us to a nice table by the window. They warned us they were busy but the greeting was still a bit odd. I ordered a seltzer and the bison quesadilla. We also ordered the fried pickles to share, but they forgot to bring them out. My food was good, everyone around us got their food pretty quickly but ours seemed to take forever. My friend got the beet sandwich but it was pretty inedible. The focaccia wasn't even focaccia and it was sorta stale. It was an ok experience, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it unless you're desperate for a bite to eat. We grabbed a coffee for the road on the way out.

Stopped in for lunch. Lunch was served in the bar area, not the restaurant portion, possibly because their season is starting to wind down. Had to wait for a table, probably less than ten minutes. Peak times can be longer. They have a captive audience as there are limited dining options available in the area. Prices are rather expensive for what you order, but you are in a touristy area. Great view of the Glacier National Park. Rustic ambiance. My server was friendly and welcoming. Hostess and a busser seemed a little stressed. I ordered their bison burger and substituted a house salad with their huckleberry vinaigrette dressing for a $4 upcharge. The house salad was pretty good. The dressing is a regional thing and wasn't too unlike a balsamic vinaigrette, just very purple. The burger is a 1/3 pound patty that could have been cooked a little longer. The burger was topped with a savory sundried tomato jam, herbed goat cheese, and arugula on a fresh ciabatta bun. Good tasting sandwich, but it's very filling. The sandwich costs $19. Overall, the food was tasty, friendly service, and great view, but rather pricey for what you get.

The food was so great, we visited twice. Once for lunch, and another time for dinner. The windows are large. So you get an excellent view while eating. We saw a bear wandering down the river while we ate. It was kind of fun, everyone stood at the windows and watched the bear meander. Now to the food. I tried the roasted red pepper soup and the bison quesadilla. Both had excellent flavor. The portion sizes were generous, I should've only ordered the quesadilla by itself or split a meal with someone. I thought the soup was absolutely perfect, my mother felt like it was a little bit bland. It is not spicy, which is good to know for people who have a mild palette. The service was great. The restrooms were downstairs, I did not pay attention to whether or not there was an elevator. It is also located in a building that has a coffee shop, and a gift shop. It just kind of makes it some fun downtime to wander around and Middlebelt and see souvenirs or get a good coffee on your way out the door.

We had lunch at this restaurant in the St Mary Lodge entrance to Glacier National Park. It was pricey but the food, service and view were outstanding.

Terrible Huckleberry Margarita. Probably the worst I've had. Huckleberry pie/ice cream was ok.

No straws, the waitress said they run out often. The hummus was flat without much flavor, and the Chili was extra spicy.

Food was amazing and great service!!!! We had fish and veggie bowl but the star was the pie!

With limited spots to eat in and around the park, you would assume that the majority of the restaurants are decent for their overpriced food... not the case here. The menu looked much better than what we were given. We ordered the Bison burger, the pickled strawberry chicken salad, and soup. The only reason why we finished our meal is because of how hungry we were after a long day of hiking in the park. The fries had to be at least a day old... not fresh at all. Should have sent them back. The burger was practically a piece of cardboard. Soup was watered down. The salad was actually decent. Hayden, our server was truly the only good thing about our visit. We wish this was a better experience. Certainly encourage other visitors to go elsewhere.

Bison burger was flavorless and the fries were cold. Service was fine. My wife's chicken sandwich wasn't a breast but a patty which wasn't very good.

Bison quesadilla is a must try! Love the chimichurri sauce with it also. I went with the pork tenderloin with the garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus while Mom had the salmon. Both were quite good and the service here was friendly and prompt. While staying near GNP this place is a good one to refuel and regroup!

Okay, I don't understand why this restaurant only has 3.5 stars - it's really much better than that. It's a slow, casual atmosphere that was perfect after hiking in Glacier National Park all day. Beer selection is better than most and not as heavy on the IPAs as we've been seeing elsewhere. We ordered the steak frites and shrimp and grits, which my teen wanted. My husband thought he was crazy since it's never as good as we make at home. About 15 minutes after we ordered we were told they would have to remake it for some reason which would take 20 minutes. We were offered soup for the wait - my husband said the tomato soup was fantastic. We were concerned our steak would be waiting under a heat lamp while they remade the grits but when it arrived it was very good. Nicely cooked (medium) and a giant pile of garlic fries. The shrimp and grits were the best we've ever had at a restaurant (and don't tell my family, but might even be better than I make at home...shhhhh...).

Bison chili was really good, but service was terrible. Our server Brandon from West Virginia was not professional or helpful at all. We had to ask for items multiple times. We were visiting from out of town and had heard good things about this restaurant. The other items we ordered were just okay but nothing special. On a positive note, we were seated and served quickly and the young lady in the gift was very nice and professional.

The service was great. It was a clean and rustic restaurant. The food was delicious. We had the huckleberry apple crisp for dessert and it was fantastic. Ate it before I could get a picture but it was great presentation with a nice scoop of ice cream on top. Pieces of huckleberry in the crisp, not just apple and flavoring. Great experience, definitely recommend it if you're in East Glacier!

Server was super nice, made great drink recommendations!! Food was good however the quality didn't justify the price. I suppose it's all about location. Wife had the Salmon which we loved! I had the half rack of Huckleberry Ribs. Sauce tasted sweet and tasty ribs where tough. The decor gave it a very restive mountain home type of ambiance which we liked. Overall due to limited choices in the area it was decent. We would give it another try some other time.

Fast service. Delicious salad and chicken salad sandwich. Crispy fries. Try the huckleberry vinaigrette!

Fine dining at a reasonable price. The server ,Ellie, was excellent. The food was excellent across the menu. We had 8 and were pleased with our varied sellections.

The food was absolutely disgusting. My child threw up after eating there. The grill cheese was gross, the fries tasted like they were left over from last years season. They were stale and had an old grease taste. However, the drinks, customer service, and view were good.

It was early morning and I was heading to one of the more remote sections of Glacier National Park.....the Two Medicine area. Randomly coming from Many Glacier, I stumbled upon the St. Mary Lodge and Resort and this.....the Snowgoose Grill - connected right next door. At that point in time, I was interested in finding breakfast anywhere I could as I was hungry and wanted a satisfying start towards my day before hiking and exploring at Two Medicine. Being around 7:30am, I walked around the rear section of the lodge and there was the Snowgoose Grill. Upon entering...the mood reminded me of a quaint mountain and rustic lodge. I liked the ambiance. It was quite early and I was seated right away with virtually no other customers inside the restaurant. This place was pretty big overall, with plenty of comfy space and oversized booths. Initially I was pretty happy I chose to come here as it gave me a moment to gather my thoughts and have a quiet breakfast. The menu was customary for any sort of lodge and grill you'd expect to find in the middle of nature and the outdoors. It featured classic favorites like eggs and bacon, egg sandwiches, biscuits and gravy, and a breakfast burrito. Other options included french toast, various styles of pancakes and skillet omelette scrambles with diverse mixes of ingredients. They even had oatmeal and granola. One drawback was the menu prices. Higher than I expected....I guess with limited options in the area to choose from....I felt sort of hostage to their prices which seemed inflated in my opinion. Regardless, I was on vacation and money doesn't matter when I'm having fun. I chose to get the Denver Scramble. It consisted of a chopped up egg omelette with ham, bell peppers, onions and cheddar cheese for $15. This also included breakfast potatoes and toast. When my food arrived, everything looked fresh and appetizing and the food tasted good. But....I only got 1 piece of toast. Really? That was disappointing as I am a bread person and at the very worst anywhere I have ever been...I've received at minimum 2 pieces. Whatever....I just let it go. Another disappointment I found was the ration of eggs scramble compared to the amount of potatoes. Typical.....I had not nearly enough eggs and just a boatload of extra potatoes filling up leftover space on my plate. So....I finished all the eggs and my 1 piece of toast and discouragingly there were only so many potatoes I could eat. Ultimately I left the Snowgrille Grill not stuffed or satisfied. I could have eaten a lot more. With my meal I also got a glass of orange juice. In total after taxes and leaving a $5 tip for the waitress, my meal came to $27. Meh....the whole experience didn't sit well with me. Eventually I continued on my way towards Two Medicine to sight-see for the day and remained positive about my travels. I had plenty of snacks, fruit and nuts in my car to tide me over until dinner time. Lol....always good to be prepared and have a backup plan. Overall I'm glad I had a free moment to sit down for a meal even though the Snowgoose Grille wasn't a winning restaurant. Since I was spending a few more days in Glacier, I was determined to find better opportunities for more comforting accommodations for breakfast. And actually I did. The following morning I discovered the Glacier's Edge Cafe down the road on my way towards Waterton National Park, and I had a much more hearty breakfast experience there.

Thankfully they were open. The food wasn't terrible but end of the season caused some menu adjustments and no toilet paper in the restrooms. When we mentioned the lack of toilet paper to the management we were told they close in a few days and supplies were limited.

Had the veggie burrito while looking out at Glacier National park. I've learned to reset expectations since most businesses in the area are only open in the summer with seasonal staff. So far one of the better meals in Glacier area

Very pricey food with limited vegetarian options. We ordered a bunch of stuff and the food was just tasteless. With the limited options for meals, it becomes challenging finding food which is why such places dont try to improve.

Stopped in for lunch. Very nice place and service was quick. The chicken sandwich was thin chicken and dry. Went a different night for a cocktail and dessert and the dessert was good. Nothing crazy special but good.

We stopped here as many others do after visiting Glacier NP - it's pretty much the only choice after exiting the park at Saint Mary. We both had the chicken salad, mine with the wrap and my wife without. It was OK - chicken salad is not a difficult dish to make. However WAY overpriced - it was $35 w/o tip for the two of us, no drinks. The lunch menu is pretty limited, so not a lot of choice. The service was very nice. If you're hungry after Glacier, just don't expect much at Snowgoose.

Service is stellar. Ambiance is breathtaking. Food: ordered the pork tenderloin with wine reduction sauce however... it was not a tenderloin, my guess based on the large portion of fat and gristle is that it was a pork chop. No one said anything about the substitution.

Nice place with friendly, attentive service. Don't order the fish. The dinner menu sounded incredibly tempting--I had the "steelhead trout with beurre blanc, risotto, and glazed carrots" for $30--but the dish was really disappointing. Maybe 4oz of overcooked fish with plain melted butter and a lump of risotto. It was kind of like the guy who wrote the menu and the guy who cooked it never met each other. In retrospect, I should have sent it back. On the other hand, my husband had the bison stroganoff and it was really good--tender meat, flavorful sauce. A little too gloopy to pass muster at a French restaurant but it was delicious. I'd stay away from the fish and stick to classics here. They also do a more low key breakfast and lunch which is totally fine (burgers, breakfast burritos, etc,).

Since our choices for dinner were extremely limited, we chose this venue as it looked very nice. Our waitress Andreea was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. Her service was impeccable. The restaurant was clean and the food was satisfactory. We ordered salads as they were not as expensive as other menu items. Our meals were not special or remarkable. We expected them to be since our bill was $31 for a Chicken Caesar Salad and Chicken Cobb Salad. Andreea did ask the chef to heat the chicken for the Caesar salad, and it WAS warm. But the chicken on both salads tasted prepackaged - not fresh. The lettuce in the Cobb was mixed Spring greens - I expected bib, iceberg, romaine or a mix of all greens - not just a spring mix. On the Cobb, I tried the Huckleberry vinaigrette as well as the honey mustard. Both were good. The dressings were memorable, as was Andreea.

Good location if you are staying on the east side of the park. We ate breakfast here before heading in to the park for the day. Scrambled eggs were like they were cooked first thing in the morning and just kept warm (rubbery). Staff was pleasant and the view is nice.

The restaurant located inside the St. Mary lodge. It offer the some view. But most of the snow mountain view is block by tree. The restaurant has two story height ceiling. It make the open space of the dining room. We were here for lunch. Their lunch is reasonable. I have the Elk Sausage Link (Elk Brat Po'Boy). This sausage is from Elk meat and mixture of spice. This is a local product. I would said if you are here try some elk, deer or bison dish. The sausage is good taste. Although this is my first on this game meat, it give me a good experience. The service is good. Food came out at right time. The restaurant is actually busy because not many restaurants in this area. They have extensive menu for the game meat if you like to adventure the new items. Be brave and concur.

Good menu, comfortable surroundings, good drink list, good service, gorgeous views. We had a very pleasant evening I had the trout - recommended by an employee - and it was tasty. I was pleased, and I am really picky about fish. I don't remember what everyone else got, but no one was disappointed. Really surprised by the quality given that it is a "hotel" restaurant and they have a captive audience Many wines by the glass and some good cocktails. Probably your best bet on the East side of Glacier for a "traditional" dinner. If you want a steak, go to the Cattle Baron in Babb, though it is not as good as this place in most other respects. Recommended!

We were famished! I took my 85 yo father to this place after sightseeing/driving through Going -To-The-Sun -Road in National Park since 6am. We stopped at Logan Pass Visitor Center which had info for tourist where to go to eat. So we chose to eat at St Mary's at this place. We arrived around 130pm, we saw signs that said kitchen was overwhelmed, so the restaurant would be closing for the afternoon. We saw the maitre d', Camille who stated she had a list of people she needed to seat, referred us to another restaurant 20 miles away. I asked if she knew if the restaurant she was sending us to was still open. She said to look it up on the internet. We had no cell reception (it's the mountains), so we couldn't look it up. She had to have known that. We just hung around a little more, used the restroom and noticed a group of 6 white people after us asked to be placed on the waiting list. I saw Camille placed their name on the list and got very irate. I confronted her and she denied she placed them on the list. So curiosity got a hold of me, something told me to wait and just see what she was going to do. Some of the people who were already on the list were a no show, and I heard her verify with that group after us "a party of six"? She then had to seat us as well. She was very unprofessional berated us to her coworkers. We were surprised we ended up getting hamburgers we ordered on the house. But, while trying to get our servers attention for the bill, a blond worker guy with ponytail was prepping utensils just kept staring at us, rudely. He looked like he was looking to start a commotion. The restaurant was practically empty. Not a great impression, rude workers, apathetic workers, our server , blond gal with long hair kept rolling her eyes. Would not go there if you're a person of color. Agree with others here, subpar food, overpriced and the current workers acted like it was too busy , while it was practically empty. Now I know to pack an icebox next time I'm going to Glacier National Park.

Snow Goose Grille is a nice, clean place attached to the St Mary Lodge that sits at entrance to Glacier National Park. We stopped in after an exhausting day of hiking for replenishing and were well pleased! The bar area had semi big screen tv for Monday Night Football and same menu as restaurant. We both enjoyed the food and drink. I had burger and my wife had a tasty chicken sandwich. St Mary is not the middle of nowhere but you can see it from there. This time of season we counted ourselves lucky to have found this grille!

We visited Snowgoose once for lunch and once for breakfast during our time at Many Glacier/St Mary's/East Glacier - and the overall experience was very good. The service was prompt, the staff was attentive, and the food quality was very good. I am giving it 5 stars to make up for other reviews who unfairly review a business because they themselves didn't do any research. Running a small business in a rural area is more logistically intensive than in a large, urban supply hub. Things cost more. Adam Smith called it market economics. So do your research and be fair to small businesses. That being said, the burgers we had for lunch were cooked to order and their fries are pretty good. The breakfast burrito is huge (which you'd expect for a premium price) and I was very happy with my eggs and bacon (and potatoes and slice of toast). There are not a ton of choices in St Mary's, so do your due diligence and pick according to your preferences. Snowgoose delivers quality service and food at a fair price point.

For starters, this place is ridiculously overpriced for the service and quality of food. We brought our family of seven here after a long day in Waterton Park and what a disappointment! Salads were large, but my 17-year-old daughter found a hair in her salad. I got the special of the day, bison stew, which was just MEH. We had to ask for bread, and the first I asked person replied, "you'll have to ask your server" and just walked away. So I asked someone else, and what they brought out looked like day-old rolls from the St. Mary Supermarket across the parking lot which had been warmed up in the microwave. Keep moving, folks, and don't waste your valuable time or money here when there are so many other quaint options. Subpar food and service for high resort price. Do. Not. Recommend.

This is a lovely resort owned restaurant serves local food with great quality. I would say go try their taste of Montana pre-fixed menu! It has a great value. The freshness of the food is good. And service is just perfect! Food is brought up very quick and we do feel warm and welcomed from this restaurant.

After visiting Glacier National Park, we decided to drive around and passed through St. Mary's, MT. Luck was with us, sat down an ordered the sausage, cheese and fruit plate for two. This plate was enough for two people and the sausage was excellent and was the pairing of the crackers. Highly recommend this plate.

We had a lot of difficulty finding a place for breakfast after leaving the Many Glacier hotel. Having pulled into three parking lots earlier in the day of places that were listed on Yelp (but all being closed or out of business during our visit), we finally found breakfast here. We opted for the Eggs Your Way option. Simple enough - two eggs, veggie sausage as an option, potatoes, toast and a side of coffee. That worked. The breakfast menu was modest. A decent option (and maybe your only breakfast option) in the area.

A good place to eat after driving and hiking. We stayed at the St Mary's lodge and the restaurant was part of the lodge. Friendly servers and good views. We ate the garden salad with huckleberry dressing, chicken wrap & white bean and mushroom burger. Everything was delicious & refreshing. When in Montana, enjoy everything huckleberry!

I echo Gregory B. Just get the bison quesadilla don't mess with anything else. Well worth the price. Very very good quesadilla

There are only a few dining options on the east side of Glacier, and this one is a great option. We got there after the usual diner crowd, and our service was quick, polite and attentive. We got the steelhead trout special and deviled egg appetizer special, which were both very good and well above our expectations. Prices are steep, but it's a fine-dining restaurant right outside the National Park in a secluded area of Montana. Potential patrons should anticipate and do some research ahead of time instead of complaining about the price when they get here. Worth it in our opinion.

After reading the reviews, I was a bit hesitant on this place, especially with the dated decor, but I was surprised at the food. My husband and I ordered the baked Brie, the charcuterie plate and the wings. I also had a bowl of the potato leek soup and we ordered buttered noodles for the kids. The noodles were not anything special, but they were decent. The potato soup needed salt, but otherwise, very tasty. The wings (Parm garlic) had great flavor, but we like our wings more on the crispy side. There were soft. The baked Brie was very tasty and the presentation was well done. Nice to have some berries and honey on the plate. The charcuterie plate was a lap delicious. The honeycomb was a nice delicious morsel and the huckleberry jam with rosemary was delectable. The pickled onion was stellar and the whole grain mustard was perfect. Order the charcuterie plate, you won't go wrong!

Pretty expensive but delicious. The secret is the BISON QUESADILLA. Only $16 for a BIG plate of food. The Mac n Cheese was also divine. Highly recommend.
