Please save your money to eat something else even just the pub next door where it serves sandwiches. the service was awful. I get they are seasonal but it’s August and they are still not trained at this point that’s a problem. our waitress has no idea what’s in the menu and doesnt know what’s prime rib i had to point it out on the menu to show her what i’m ordering. and for steaks, she didnt ask how to be cooked, until she is ready to walk away we told her how I want my steak to be cooked.

The bison rib is way overcooked in the oven, it’s almost like a jerky, super tough to eat and dry. worst bison ever.
The prime rib served in a very pale color that ive never seen a beef that pale. and it’s barely cooked , even the fat part is light pink that’s undercooked.

this place is only for a convenience of getting around in Many Glacier area especially during the construction, limited vehicle allowed inside. but the rooms are tiny and outdated. food are awful. worst money spent in the whole trip.

Had dinner here after our hike to Grinnel Glacier. We are vegetarian and had kale and tomato soup, pasta, potato leek mushroom ravioli, and cheesecake. Everything was delicious. We wanted to window seat so had to wait for ~20mins. Otherwise there was a wait of about 10mins for other seats. If you are very hungry and want food quickly the service may feel slow. But the place was very busy and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

For the price, it’s very okay.

The food is fine. The duck wing appetizer was pretty good. The arugula salad? Average. The prime rib with horseradish? Solid. A little dry. Rare is closer to medium rare bc it was later in the day. Diced potatoes with steam charred veggies? Solid enough.

Overall, good server. Food is 3 star based on flavor and for the price. Granted you are on a mountain in Glacier Park so you can’t expect amazing. I still enjoyed our meal and time.

Food taste amazing, service is excellent, atmosphere is superb! All 5 stars to this restaurant Food is taste better than I expected. Both salad and braised bison short ribs are very tasty. We also got sherbet crisp with huckleberry ice cream. It’s not too sweet. We love it.

We got table by the window. The view is stunning.

Highly recommend! If you come to hiking around many glacier hotel, you should stop by it. It’s located inside the hotel.

We really enjoyed the breakfast buffet at the dining room. Fine dining with a beautiful view! Considering where you are had to give 5 stars. Service was quick being a buffet. No line to get seated, easy to get a window seat due to large room and lots of windows. Food was excellent yogurt&oatmeal had very healthy fixings to add. Scrambled eggs, potatoes, CRISPY bacon, sausage, biscuits and gravy, French toast, muffins , pastry, toast. Lots of fresh fruits and berries. $21pp. Fair price point. Staff friendly and provide great service. Plenty of seating. Food was covered and didn’t want to open all the chaffing servers for pics.

Not so many options on the menu. Small portions with high price, especially the appetizer. The food tastes okay, but not very impressive. We added a steak for our pasta, but it was like $15 and very small and overly grilled with burnt smell. Also, there are lots of empty tables, but we still have to wait for half an hour.

We got the house salad, lentil burger, and pasta dish they had. Very happy with all the vegan options they had. The food was surprisingly good and would definitely come back here. Got a huckleberry Marg from here as well which didn’t quite taste like a margarita because there was no tequila but was still good

Came for lunch after hiking in some cold and rainy weather. Had wild mushroom cavatappi, elk brats, and hot cocoa. All were tasty and service was good. Prices typical for a hotel, but not outrageous. Nice if you can get a table by the window overlooking the lake and mountains.

Staff here were extremely nice, they let us order a few items off the other restaurants list on request, brought us those menus. The waitstaff checked in with us a ton, we never ran out of drink refills. The view of the lake was amazing. We hiked in from Logan pass so were disheveled, stinky. They kept our packs behind the check in desk which was very kind.

The food was atrocious and expensive. Our group ordered a house salad, lentil burger, pasta primavera, burgers and sliders. The salad was large which was nice but house dressing was not good. Lentil burger was literally a dry lentil paddy on a bun and a half dollar sized amount of odd sweet balsamic type sauce. No tomato, lettuce, onion, pickle, no toppings or veggies on a vegetarian burger. The pasta primavera sauce tasted like there was just a bunch of mayo dumped on it. I didn’t eat the other burgers but no one like them, all either way too minimal/low quality ingredients or poorly cooked. We are hungry, easy going hikers and none of us finished our food. I can’t say that’s ever been the case before. The host remarked they’d recently lost staff and had new folks in the kitchen which I can believe…end of season, low paying remote location jobs can be tough. Maybe learning the job was the cause, or maybe a recipe or ingredient issue.

If I returned I would get fries and a coke. Only safe bets from what we got.

Quick Summary
Great views of the lake, cool ambiance in the dining room, and pretty good service. Food was decent, but low expectations because it is national park dining. Would try to avoid rush hour times (there is a wait due to limited staff, and you’re more likely to get a window dining table if you arrive away from crowded times)

Food- 3 stars
Glacier burger- it’s basically a picnic burger. Fries were decent.

Bison chili burger- same as above. It’s not fantastic, but nice to have a warm meal after a long day of hiking

Service- 5 stars
Waiters and host were very friendly. Just be prepared to wait during rush hour, due to limited staffing

Ambiance- 5 stars
Love the rustic and Swiss architecture at the Many Glacier Hotel. The dining room felt very grand with its high ceilings, high lamps and decor. Great views of the lake by the window side

Bottom Line
Great service, ambiance and views. Food is average, which is expected for national park dining
