"As we approached the counter to place our order, we were met with a condescending smirk and an icy silence that rivaled the snowfall outside. There wasn't even a simple greeting; no "hello," "how are you," or "welcome." Instead, we were left with the impression that our presence was burdensome to her. When I inquired about her business's performance since our last visit, her curt response was a disinterested, "We're still here." Again, there was no smile, only an air of arrogance.
We ordered our meals with two decaf coffees, asking for a cup of water to accompany them. Her snide reply was that they only sell bottled water. After paying, we received no acknowledgment or friendly comment—it's as if we were doing her a favor by dining there. We eventually gathered our food from the various coolers and found instructions on the table for cleaning up after ourselves.
We served our own coffees from a thermos that was lukewarm at best, and it became downright cold once we added creamer from an open quart carton stored in the coolers. After finishing our meals, my wife decided to get another cup of coffee and approached the unfriendly owner. She begrudgingly offered to either make a new pot or microwave it, emphasizing the latter option. My wife agreed, and after two rounds in the microwave, the coffee was finally warm enough, even though it was roughly noon at that point.
I highly recommend avoiding this restaurant, given the dismissive and haughty attitude of the owner. When you spend over $20 on lunch, you should at least expect a cup of water, warm coffee, and maybe even a hint of a smile. There are plenty of dining options in the Flathead Valley—why spend your money only to be met with disdain?"
