We went for dinner & it was somewhat of a maze to get to the back where they serve meals for dinner. Once we got there it was very busy & very loud, we could barely hear each other talk. My husband ordered the brisket with coleslaw, beans, red potatoes & the fry bread. He said the brisket was ok & he thought the 4 sides would be a lot of food but they were very small servings...tiny cups of coleslaw & beans & 2 small red potatoes. I am gluten sensitive so I ordered a grilled chicken breast with a side of red potatoes. The chicken breast was completely burnt & dried out & I literally got 2 small red potatoes that cost $2.25! When I ordered my meal the server responded, "No fry bread?" so I explained to her that I could not have it as I am gluten sensitive. She replied, "Well you better get that fixed for the next time you come in." Lol, sure wish I could "fix" it. You might want to do some employee training on food allergies with your servers. There are a lot of positive reviews so maybe this just wasn't our type of place. If you like loud surroundings with substandard small portions of food please do try it out!

My husband and I eloped outside of Columbia Falls and we ate here 3 times in a week and a half. We even went here RIGHT AFTER our elopement :) It was all perfect! There was a 20-45 min wait each time we went (Mr Tien makes it all to order- WELL worth the wait). He can make most everything on the menu gluten free, just ask! The Curry is delicious yellow curry. The Ginger Stir Fry is every ginger lovers dream! If you LOVE ginger, this is for you. My husband RAVED about the Sichuan. Thank you Mr Tien and Team! You guys are so awesome. Tip- call ahead to place your order, the ladies will tell you the wait time. Could NOT recommend this place more. Great prices as well, we ate here for under 30 bucks everytime!
Bacon is standard on their burgers. Bacon is in the special sauce. Not much more needs to be said.
The gluten free bun was delicious. The special sauce was wonderful.
If I come back I’m getting twice as much sauce and half as much seasoning in the fries.
Excellent coffee, delicious pastries, good breakfast. We went here twice during our visit to GNP and loved the lattes. I tried a tumeric spice latte and it was both unique and delicious. They had a lot of variety on their menu. I appreciated the gluten free pastry options and the lemon raspberry poppyseed muffin I had was the perfect texture, not dry at all!
We tried the Big Sky for breakfast. The salsa was homemade and fresh - super yummy. We found the breakfast itself to need a little more salt but overall really good! If you’re in the area, give this place a try! Staff was always kind and helpful.
The Wandering Gringo's tacos are probably a few of the best tacos I have had and will ever have. It is a great place for family's to come, hang out and eat and has good gluten free options for those with allergies or Celiac. Amazing quality for the low prices and the size of the burritos are insane.
Our favorite place to eat. Usually once a week. Gluten free option with Vegetable or Spinach Enchiladas. However, not gluten free chips but we sometimes bring our own! Incredible salsa!
Gluten-free yummy quinoa bowls, gf pastries, and gf protein pucks. Yummy coffee - sugar-free dairy-free milk options. Friendly baristas. The nicest owner. Open until 5 a couple nights and working on maybe more in the future. Local female owner who bought it right before everything shut down - and she stayed open! Love supporting her. Cozy fireplace. Amazing attention to detail including decorations. A lot of effort to make a cozy and welcoming hangout and it really shows. Love this place.
In a sea of restaurants in this area that all serve pretty much the same bland Americana, this place is a shining beacon of hope for diners here. Absolutely incredible food. It was so good you will have to excuse our half eaten plates in the photo I should have taken one when it first came out but it was too good. We had 4 dishes and every single one of them was executed perfectly. The gluten free options don’t leave you hanging either! They make a gluten free crostini that came with the mussels and it is divine! It’s kind of euro style the dishes come out as the chef prepares them, so sharing is the way to go. We were so well taken care of. The staff is lovely. It’s a beautiful spot. We are so fortunate to have this out here in the Canyon, thank you.
Gluten free pasta, but no gluten free pizza crust. Gluten free pasta was delicious. Ambiance is nice, lots of outdoor and indoor seating. Allow for 20 minutes for the pasta.
My roommates and I go here at least once a week; most weeks twice. Great food, great drinks, great vibes, and usually a great band too! Buck, Celeste, and Stephanie are the best bartenders ever! The food menu is diverse enough to offer something for anyone and they offer gluten-free options as well. They also offer a good selection of cocktails and brews at the bar, and have some nice regional selection too. Don’t think I’ll ever get tired of this cool spot!
