The Craggy Range Bar & Grill

First night in town. Stopped in late for a bite to eat. Staff so friendly and welcoming. The interior was so warm and comfortable. Reasonable prices and food was upscale bar food. Loved the Southwest egg rolls. Seems like a really fun place.

Have been to the restaurant many times because it, for some reason, is a favorite. I have struggled to see why. I believe people enjoy the restaurant because it is a good location and has nice décor (the outdoor patio is the best feature), but beyond that the restaurant leaves little to be impressed by. The food seems pre-​prepared and bland. The staff gives attentive service, but it seems like they don’t really enjoy their job. This speaks more about the owner than the servers. Come to find out the owner owns several «favorites» in Whitefish, so while it seems like a unique restaurant it is ran with out true attention to detail. I would suggest finding a different restaurant in Whitefish if you want a complete dinning experience, you have many to choose from.

Poutin was amazing! Burgers were so juicy and homemade buns! Highly recommend this place! Service was excellent, Jaimie, was a superb waitress, quick and knowledgeable.

Actually pretty good! It was reasonably priced. WONDERFUL service, it started to get louder at the usual loud bar time so we left but that’s not their doings. Overall, it was a lovely experience.

This is a fun place to go to if you want drinks and food. Its not the BEST place in Whitefish for food though so i would not go there and expect an out of this world dinner. The staff is pretty good and the atmosphere is enjoyable

I came here for lunch and I had the smoked turkey and bacon sandwich with a side salad. This was an absolutely amazing meal. The taste was impeccable and was exactly what I was looking for. I had a huckleberry vinaigrette with my salad and it was the best vinaigrette I’ve had in a long time. Great atmosphere and I would love to come back in the evening sometime.

Pros: good food, friendly waiting staff, good atmosphere, located at beautiful Whitefish downtown
Cons: small portion

This place is pretty damn good!
Prices are great and service is outstanding!
Good was really good. I had the weekly burger special that had a Hawaiian twist with a jalapeño and pineapple boba sauce and sesame seeds. Cooked to a perfect medium and the fries where on point.
Also, had the creamy artichoke dip with grilled pita! Perfect, I was actually full with the app!
My sister had the craggy French dip and it has bacon… Anything with bacon has to be good!
I will definitely be going back here.

Good food and service on a busy night. Say at the bar watched football… had the southwest eggrolls well done and the salad with the huckleberry vinaigrette was amazing! I’ll be back!

Our last night in town and really hoping for a good dinner. So disappointed. I had the center cut sirloin. Mashed potatoes were bland and tasted like they were out of a box. Couldn’t even eat the green beans– disgusting!
Husband had the meatloaf if that’s what you can call it that. Didn’t taste like meatloaf and was way over seasoned.
Plus the beer options weren’t that good! Go elsewhere!

Staying in the area while visiting Glacier we decided to stop in for happy hour. The beer offerings were great, but the service left a lot to be desired. We ordered poutine which was ok, and our dinner was pretty good. I had the Mac n cheese which was not real cheesy. My husband had the meatloaf, which he devoured, so I guess it was great :)

I had the wings as an appetizer and the fish and chips as a entrée. The wings were pretty good. The fries were soggy, and the fish was over seasoned. The meal was uninspired. I will try somewhere else and not return.

We are so bored with the limited food and drink options of Whitefish and the larger Flathead Valley. The tourist come through in droves during the peak Summer and Winter seasons. Tired from their travels or busy excursions to many of the nearby outdoor destinations. Clamoring for a place to sit, rest, and be merry.
So the little bit of competition we do have is largely negated. Don’t expect much in the way of buybacks, specials, sizzling deals, or eateries being forced to provide outstanding cuisine in order to stay alive. This seems to apply to all of the area businesses. Collusion? Price setting? Who knows. One thing is for sure, the food scene changes very slowly, if at all.
To the review… I have not been a big fan of the Craggy Range in the past, but our most recent visit was relatively pleasant. We ordered a Caesar salad which my Wife said was about 3.5 stars. The salad included a few slices of thin lightly toasted and seasoned bread with a few slices of tomatoes on the side. Not required but we appreciated the effort to mix things up a bit. Sadly the tomatoes had not been ripe, still green in some spots, which was a bit disappointing since it is the end of July. The salad did appear to be made to order.
The sweet potato spinach salad was very good. What one would expect from a dinner salad, made to order and substantial. See the photo for details. The sweet potatoes had been nicely cut with fresh red grapes mixed in. Appropriate amounts of other ingredients had been incorporated to create a good blend of flavors. The spinach may have been sitting out for a bit longer than it should have in the kitchen. Not wilted by any means but have lost a little bit of it’s crunch. I was informed the vinaigrette dressing was made in house. Four and half stars.
Given the lack of vegetarian salad options in the Whitefish area, this was a win. For the the petite ladies out there, this salad can likly be shared by two.
Service was very youthful but clearly working exceptionally well under what seemed like discreet leadership. Young staffers moving quickly about keeping all the water glass from falling below the halfway point, and doing so without being obtrusive. Meals came out quickly but not so fast to cause me to wonder if they just pulled them out of the fridge. If anything, the bustling staff may want to just make a bit more eye contact with patrons. If for no other reason to slow them down just a tad.
Overall four stars. Enjoy!

Fabulous food and we lucked out and caught part of their local music festival, too. Started with Jalapeño margaritas (house infused tequila with jalapeño and mango purée with a pickled jalapeño garnish) and black and bleu bites — blackened prime rib bites with a bleu cheese sauce — delicious. Then a Smokey Stone burger — smoked stone ground mustard, burger cooked just right and topped with bacon and a slice of smoked mozzarella. Wow! Finished with caramel, butterscotch crème brûlée. Amazing. Service was great, live music on the patio was great and family friendly, too.

The place to go in Whitefish!
After a long day in a Glacier we went here for dinner. Food was super good. Bleu Cheese burger and sweet potato fries. They give you maple syrup with the sweet potato fries! It’s amazing. Service was excellent and professional. Go here over Casey’s.

I went to this sports bar to watch the NBA finals and that’s about the only thing I enjoyed… and the local beers I guess. I sat down at the bar and wasn’t greeted for 5+ minutes, and they were not very hospitable once they came.
I ordered the blackened catfish sandwich and it had absolutely ZERO flavor and I ate about a ¼ of it. Maybe this was a one off cause they have decent reviews but I would recommend trying something else.
Game was good though :)

After previously having a not-​so-​great experience, the management at Craggy Range reached out to me and invited me back for a dinner date with my wife – on the house. That was a very classy move. Our experience this time was wonderful. Even before who we were, the staff were much more professional, friendly, and attentive. Within 60 seconds of sitting down, they already had water on our table. We had our food in LESS than 10 minutes.
As for quality, the food was excellent. We ordered a burger which was amazing. We also ordered one of their steaks, and I would argue that it was one of the best I’ve ever had.
I’m happy to say that I would return, not only because they tried to make it right after our last experience, but also because I could feel a difference before they even knew who we were (so it wasn’t just fake service). Thanks to the manager Sara who made it a great date night for my wife and I to enjoy.

This place has some delicious food!
I ordered the fish and chips, and while it was tasty, I wish I had ordered one of their burgers which looked insane, and tasted as such. We had appetizer mussels and these prime rib steak bites with a blue cheese dipping sauce — both appys were very tasty!
The prices were a bit high, but the service was great, and the food was really tasty. Overall it was a fun night out.

This place is really good!
We ordered the Molokai Burger with sweet potato fries and it was delicious!
In my opinion best burger I ever had!
We recommend the southwest chicken rolls as an appetizer as well.

4 stars for Whitefish. Easily the best dinner experience in our three nights in Glacier NP!
The drinks had a solid measure of alcohol and the wife’s cocktail (the Pimm’s cup) was well made.
We had the Asian Tuna Sliders which had a very nice ginger-​y taste. For entrée we had the Salmon which was not perfect (probably just a touch overcooked) but still very nice.
The service was very good as well, our waters were filled and the gentleman had great sense of timing — leaving us alone when we were in intimate conversation.
Overall, good food and I would go here again.
