10. Vine and Tap

Zilch on an entertainment level. Zilch on atmosphere. A wine bar that doesn't give pour options. 5-5.5 oz pour. I asked for another glass, but was informed that I needed to finish my glass so it didn't break the owners 5-5.5oz rule. Apparently pouring another glass before finishing the last swig of wine throws the pour off. I headed back to the Polson Motorcoach Resort, opened a bottle of wine, and waved at people walking by. Much better option. Skip this place.

A genuine old fashioned diner that serves good home cooked food including excellent freshly made onion rings.

We dropped in for breakfast on 4th of July weekend, so it was predictably busy. Inspite of this, our waitress was very apologetic and sincere about the delay. She worked hard to keep us comfortable during the wait for our breakfast. Honestly, the portion sizes and quaint outdoor setting made it all 100% worth the wait. My wife's French toast was a winner and my big breakfast was one of the best on our trip. I loved this place and our brief time in lovely, sincere Polson, MT. Our destination later that day was the town of Ennis, MT a town that could learn more than a few things from the friendly, outgoing, kind-hearted folks in Polson.

Pete's is going through remodeling (July 2019), and it looks like more room is in store soon. Don't be fooled by the frontal view. The construction area is an eyesore, but you will be rewarded for stepping inside. For now, you can't beat the view to Flathead Lake and the Mission Mountains beyond to the east. We had a party of 11, and the staff easily accommodated our seating on the deck. It helped that we arrived early for dinner. The crowd had swelled by the time we finished dinner and were ready to leave. Food was mostly excellent. While we waited for entrees, the kitchen sent out a bottomless supply of chips to go with our drinks. Several guests raved over the pizza. Another guest had the flatiron steak sandwich, and he loved it. I had chicken marsala, and it was delicious. Main dishes were a little slow in clearing the kitchen, but that was understandable, given the size of our party. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience.

We saw this place coming into town and knew we had to visit! They have gourmet pizzas, american-style fare, beers, and cocktails! Great family-friendly environment, but would also be great for couples, adults, etc. Our server was great as was our pizza. They let us to two of their specialty pizzas as a half-n-half on one pizza. That was great for us as I like to indulge in something new at a place like this, and my husband always sticks with pepperoni! Pizzas are great size, even the kids pizza is pretty good size. I would say two younger kids could share one kids pizza!

Every year when we spend a month on Flathead Lake we manage a visit to the Sportspage Bowl Grill. Several years ago my son took a poll. He asked everyone he talked to in Polson where to,get the best hamburger. The consensus was Sportspage. That is his standard orderâBig Louâs Burger. My wife and I usually opt to share an order of fish and chips that have always been excellent. This year, not so great. They had a very thin coating rather than a thicker batter coating. We had the same experience at Tamarack in Lakeside. I hope this is not the new way to prepare fish and chips in Western Montana. I have a suspicion that both places get their fish from the same restaurant supplier. I hope I am wrong and they are better next year. Our waitress was heads up. We were meeting anther couple for lunch. We were waiting for them in the bowling alley. They were waiting for us in the bar. Our waitress recognized the problem and got us together in short order.

We were a group of 18 and piled into the place for pizza and soda pop. Ordered at least 6 giant pizzas of many flavors and pushed together tables so we could sit together. People working there were really nice. BTW it is connected to a ice cream shop and the huckleberry ice cream was awesome. Prices are reasonable. I paid for a GIANT pepperoni and it was $25. We had lots of left overs.Thank you for coming in! We strive to have affordable prices, our dough is made in house daily, as well as the sauce. I'm glad you liked the ice cream!

Stopped by this diner for a weekend breakfast. Food was very good and service was very friendly. Cafe is a little small, so there was a wait to be seated. There is outside seating, which was nice, although the view is of the parking lot.

Delicious food! We stopped in for a quick lunch. My husband ordered pulled pork sandwich with beans and homemade chip/fries. The sandwich was good but the chip/fries were amazing. Iâm going to be thinking about those for a while. I ordered the Flathead salad with pulled chicken and it was delicious. Fresh greens, topped with slaw, pea salad, and chicken. The half size was large and ample for lunch. Would definitely return. Yum!
