Ive eaten here serveral times. Each time the food and service are outstanding. The chicken succotash menu entry is one of my favorites. Generous portions always insure that I have a healthy take-away. The tables are spaced far enough apart so that real conversation is possible even when the restaurant is full.

About the restaurant

When ever possible we will accommodate walk-ins.

PLEASE NOTE: We have a 10 minute grace period for reservations. Please call us if you are running later than 10 minutes.

Legendary Dining & Hospitality
Acting as stewards of traditional hospitality, the dining room offers world-class cuisine in a warm and welcoming environment. Serving an array of local beer, spirits and craft cocktails and all brought to you by our friendly staff, the Belton Tap Room is a favorite of locals and guests from around the world.

With an outdoor elevated deck and original 100-year-old fireplace, this is the perfect place for all that Montana summers have to offer. Every evening, our staff lines the balconies to welcome the evening train, just like they did in 1910. Steeped in the romanticism of a bygone era, this is the perfect setting for a special evening - whether you're celebrating an anniversary or the completion of a ten-mile hike.

Well, I just found my new favorite restaurant in the Kalispell area. Food was excellently prepared and presented, service was great, and the restaurant itself is very cool with log home paneling, big, natural timbers and all-Montana style stonework. The Pork Belly bao was spectacular as was the pasta arrabiata was spicy (as any arrabiata should be) but not overly. The mix had pork sausage, shrimp and andouille sausage and, I think, a nice chunk of beef chuck. Very tasty. Can't wait to go back and try something else. Highly recommend.

About the restaurant

Here at Logan's, we specialize in that classic Montana blend of cozy, casual and delicious. Just off the expansive timber-framed lobby at Grouse Mountain Lodge, locals gather with friends, sports fans catch the latest matches, visitors share stories and everyone enjoys good Montana living. Summers on the patio and winters snug inside, there are four seasons of good meals and friendship here at Logan's, breakfast through dinner.
Our brand-new menu features local specialties, light snacks to pair with your après, and fresh and hearty meals designed to fuel your adventures. Join us by the towering stone fireplace, next to the rustic bar or in a quiet corner for some really good food, a pint of local brew or a specialty drink. And, of course, a warm Whitefish welcome.

This is a wonderful restaurant in Bozeman. Close to fine dining as you will find. I'd give it a 9.5 out of 10. The night before we dined at the new BISTRO restaurant in town. A real "find" and I'd rate it a 10. Both are worth visiting, but BISTRO was one notch better.
