"When we approached the counter to place our order, we were met with a cold silence and an annoyed smirk that was as unpleasant as the winter weather outside. Not a single word of greeting from the young lady behind the counter—no "hello," no "how can I help you," not even a "welcome." It felt as if we were intruding on her space rather than being guests in her restaurant. I asked her how business had been since our last visit, and she responded with a curt, "We're still here," again without any hint of a smile or warmth.
We placed our order for our meal along with two decaf coffees, and when we asked for a cup of water, we received the snide reply that they only sell bottled water. After paying for our meal, we were met with more silence from the owner—no kind words wishing us an enjoyable meal or a simple "thank you for coming."
As we gathered our food from the various coolers that lined the space, we discovered an explicit sign instructing us to clean our tables after we finished eating. The coffee from the thermos was lukewarm and flat, and the cream was left open in a quart carton in the same cooler. After finishing our meals with the tepid coffee, my wife tried to get another cup, but once again met with indifference. The owner begrudgingly mentioned that she could make a fresh pot or reheat the one in the microwave, to which my wife agreed. After two rounds in the microwave, the coffee was finally warm enough, yet it was disappointing that she couldn't be bothered to brew a fresh pot at lunchtime.
So, my advice is to skip this place, despite the good food. The owner’s haughty, condescending attitude leaves much to be desired. If you’re paying $20 for lunch, you should at least expect a cup of water and warm coffee, not to mention a friendly smile. There are plenty of other dining options in the Flathead Valley—why spend your money here?"
