Hiking, biking, rafting, fishing and even driving through Glacier National Park can work up an appetite. And whether you need to fuel up before, during or after your adventures, there are plenty of choices for your hungry crew.
If your outings find you in West Glacier Village, or the area near Glacier National Park’s west entrance, the only dining problem you’ll face is choosing where to eat. Here are a few options — pick one, a few or explore every menu during your stay.
More than 100 years of history and tradition precedes every plate at Belton Chalet, a destination that offers locally sourced and artfully crafted meals for visitors and locals alike. Since its opening in 1910, the Belton has maintained a historic vibe honoring a bygone era with tasty flavors of today.
West Glacier's historic dining isn’t limited to the Belton — the famous front porch of Freda’s has hosted countless gatherings since opening in 1936. Along with its storied legacy, Freda’s has everything you need for breakfast, lunch and dinner — perfect for family friendly dining any time of day.
Just need a slice? How about a whole pie? Glacier National Pizza has you covered. With plenty of al fresco seating right in the heart of the West Glacier Village — plus delivery within a 5-mile radius — this outdoor spot is perfect for both big appetites and small bites. Pair your meal with a cold craft beer for a combo that’s tough to beat after a day of Montana adventures (or anytime, really).
After a round of mini golf, there’s only one thing better than an ice cream cone: winning a free huckleberry sundae on hole #19! Stop by Golfing to the Sun to play a round and test your luck. Even if you don’t win, the Cub House’s menu of espresso drinks and ice cream is sure to cheer you up.
Part cafe, part grocery store, Eddie’s Cafe & Mercantile is an Apgar Village staple. Inside Glacier Park (but with no vehicle reservation required), this spot is the family destination for both sit-down dining and grab-and-go options. Eddie’s is also mere steps away from Lake McDonald, so you can’t beat the view, either.
Located at the Great Northern Resort, the Railway Cafe is as delicious as it is quaint. Inside an antique caboose, the cafe offers breakfast, lunch, espresso and beer. For a culinary experience all its own, be sure to stop by this train car.
Find food, fuel and hospitality at Glacier Highland. Located on Highway 2 near the west entrance to Glacier National Park, this is the perfect spot for a delicious meal on your way to or from your day’s adventures. Enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner with an authentic family-owned vibe.
If you’re in West Glacier to improve your golf game, don't miss the 19th Hole. Relax in the restaurant or order on-the-go for pick-up, available at the 9th hole turn or after your last putt of the round.
Pick up a prepared meal on your way to the trailhead or settle in and stay awhile at Park Provisions. Open year-round in Coram, this one-stop-shop offers hearty dishes and trip essentials together — all just 15-minutes from West Glacier.
Breakfast, brunch or barbecue lunch — whatever you’re craving, Sunflower Cafe & BBQ has it. This open-air (but covered just in case) cafe is a one-of-a-kind dining stop for whatever weather the season has in store. Tasty treats and creative culinary combos await!
The Wandering Gringo Cafe is the place for tasty tacos, burritos, quesadillas and more. This walk-up food truck is super-seasonal with outdoor seating only. Locals never drive by without stopping, so make sure you stop by, too.
Inside the Crown of the Continent Discovery Center is Last Best Pizza. Open for lunch and dinner, this spot serves flavors as bold as the Big Sky. And the centralized location makes it easy to drop in between activities.
