Delicious food, friendly staff. Nice atmosphere. I’d say this is one of the best places to eat in Columbia Falls! My lake trout was amazing! My wife’s chicken risotto was delicious. And the lamb skewer was a delicious appetizer! Highly recommend!

Every dish we had throughout our meal experience was unique and made of high quality, fresh, ingredients. The bison fettuccine is a large serving! Our server, Melissa, was highly attentive and kind despite navigating the dinner rush hour. My group of friends and I could not get over how delicious our respective meals were! Highly recommend if you’re in the area.

Three Forks Grille comes highly recommended around Columbia Falls, usually described as the kind of place that serves good, honest food in generous portions without an ounce of pretense. Based on reputation alone, expectations were rightly set, so I stopped in solo during a recent visit to see what all the local word-of-mouth buzz was about. That buzz, it turns out, isn’t wrong, but this particular visit came with some real bumps.
Let’s start with what Three Forks does well. The staff was genuinely friendly and attentive from start to finish, the kind of hospitality that immediately puts you at ease. The dining room was clean, comfortable, and welcoming, with an atmosphere that felt relaxed rather than showy.
The meal began with the pork belly and burrata, a dish that sounded like a safe bet but quickly faltered. The pork belly arrived in thin strips cooked to a chewy crisp, missing that tender, luscious texture you hope for. The salad itself wasn’t actually dressed, the “vinaigrette” was drizzled more around the plate than through the greens and leaned heavier toward an aioli than anything bright or acidic or peach as the menu describes. The burrata felt like an afterthought, dropped on top rather than integrated into the dish.
The grilled pork chop showed flashes of what the kitchen is capable of. The chop itself was cooked beautifully, juicy and well-handled, but the supporting cast let it down. The bacon jam and reduction carried a burnt edge that overwhelmed the plate, while the vegetables and potatoes were pushed past their prime. Dessert followed a similar pattern. The crème brûlée arrived scorched, tipping past caramelized into bitter.
Despite the missteps, it was hard not to sense effort and care behind the scenes. The fundamentals appear to be there, and the reputation suggests this meal doesn’t reflect their usual form. I’m inclined to think this was simply an off night rather than a true measure of the restaurant.
Three Forks Grille still feels like a place worth rooting for. With tighter execution, it could easily live up to the honest, hearty praise it’s known for.

Amazing food , beautiful decor and lovely service. We ordered the scallop for appetizers and trout for entree . Both were delicious. It had a wait time of 40 minutes , so arrive early . We also had the canoli as desserts .

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.

Nice little restaurant in downtown Columbia Falls. There was a little bit of a wait midweek, but not long. Our server was very friendly attentive, and the food was very tasty after a day of hiking in Glacier. I had the small plate of gnocchi that had a delicious sauce on it. My husband had the ribeye with the potatoes and brussels sprouts and said it was quite tasty.
The atmosphere in the restaurant was very lively not too loud but just right and the temperature inside was wonderful.

The place is popular. It’s quite busy and they don’t take a reservation. We have to wait for about 30mins. It’s worth to wait.
The food is good. Scallops appetizer is tasty. I enjoyed Goat cheese salad a lot, great flavor with a lot of texture in one bite. Pan roasted wild walleyes is amazing. The only dish that we didn’t enjoy that much is special ribeye. Mashed potatoes are flavorful but the meat is over seasoned. It’s too salty.
You should stop by this place if you get tired of burger or sandwich!

If we could give it more than five stars, we would! We ordered the New York Steak special and the Chicken Saltimbocca. Very delicious! Highly recommend this restaurant. We will be back!

All the dishes we got were delicious! Pan fried fish was very crispy, although could use a bit more seasoning. The seasonal salmon with huckleberry sauce tastes fresh and balanced. The steak and shrimp and grits are also very good.

A friend and I had a solid experience at Three Forks Grille! We were in town visiting for a few days and decided to try out the place for dinner. We had the crostini special for an appetizer, then a braised bison risotto and halibut special for entrees. Everything was delicious and our waitress Lisa provided a great service throughout. A good local restaurant with some unique dishes!
