Montana- Flathead Valley
Bigfork Food/ Bar Suggestions
Best breakfast and lunch in the entire Flathead Valley!
Plus it is right next door.
Take a look at their menu (provided in rental).
My personal favorites are the Huevos Rancheros, Veggie Benedict, Rueben, Caesar Salad, and pretty much everything else!
They have a full espresso menu with almond and soy milk substitutes and well as homemade bloody marys with Titos, mimosas, and more!!

Seasonal (end of May- beginning of Sep)
BEST local burger joint in town. There is usually a big line. Grab a burger and Huckleberry milk shake togo, then watch the sunset on the rocks at Wayfarers.

Dive bar in Downtown Bigfork. Must visit. Cash only.
Great outdoor space in the summer with live music and dance floor. Drinks are strong, bartenders are sassy, and skip the food.

This is the South location. This one only has beer and wine.
I think the food at this location is better. It's quieter for sure.
North location has a full bar, and is a lot more "lively".
This is now a "chain" restaurant that started with one location in Montana.

This is a GREAT day adventure!!
There are several lakes, over 15 hiking trails, as well as the iconic Polebridge Mercantile. However, it takes about an hour and 20 minutes to get to Pole Bridge, and the road is about 45 minutes on gravel so be prepared for that!! There is no power, everything up there is solar or generators. No cell service. Such a cool place!!
We spend most weekends in the North Fork/ Polebridge area.

There are a few drivers, but they stay near Whitefish, which is 45min away. It is rare to get a ride to/ from Bigfork.
Just plan accordingly!
