Two Sisters Café is the rare kind of roadside stop that manages to transcend its humble setting and deliver an experience that could rival fine dining. Tucked just outside Glacier National Park, it is both a destination and a discovery.
Our group visited after passing by several times, curious from the buzz of other reviews. What we found was a restaurant that exceeded all expectations. The atmosphere is lively, but the real stars are the food and the people behind it.
We began with the smoked trout dip, an appetizer so flavorful it left us wishing for just a little more bread to scoop it up. It was a perfect start, bright and smoky without being heavy.
From there, we sampled across the menu. I ordered the lamb meatball flatbread from the nightly specials. The crust struck a rare balance, thin and crisp around the edges while still soft and satisfying at the center, supporting roasted peppers, artichokes, olives, feta, and tender house made lamb meatballs. It was vibrant and well constructed, the sort of dish you would expect from a chef with a deep respect for ingredients.
Another standout was the trout and waffles, which might be the most memorable dish of the evening. The marionberry syrup tied the entire plate together, enhancing both the savory and sweet elements without overwhelming either. It was playful, unexpected, and absolutely delicious.
The chef’s cut of bison was another highlight. Cooked to perfection, it melted in the mouth and was beautifully paired with green beans, mushrooms, and fingerling potatoes. Even the salmon, often an overlooked option, was elevated by thoughtful sides, including a delicate corn preparation that surprised us with its depth.
Dessert felt essential after such a meal. We shared generously: a huckleberry shake, a slice of huckleberry pie, peach cobbler cheesecake from the nightly menu, and a scoop of house made butter pecan ice cream crowned with toffee cake crumble. Each was indulgent in its own way, but the cheesecake in particular was a revelation, comforting and refined at once.
The service deserves equal praise. Our waiter was absolutely incredible, attentive and kind despite the café being completely packed. Genuine hospitality is rare, and here it is abundant. After our visit, I realized I had left behind a water bottle. To my astonishment, both sisters not only reached out but went so far as to ship it across the country to me. That level of thoughtfulness speaks volumes about the care they put into their entire operation.
Two Sisters Café is not just a roadside café. It is a restaurant of remarkable quality that happens to sit beside one of the most beautiful parks in America. If Michelin stars were given to seasonal establishments in rural Montana, this place would be on the map. Until then, it will remain one of those special finds travelers whisper about and...
Read moreThis roadside eatery that is "near Babb" is more than meets the eye. It's an establishment with some deep-rooted character, and (really) good grub to boot.
There was a 45min+ wait the first time my hiking/camping crew tried to get a table on a Thursday after 7PM. We were hungry from a day of outdoor adventure so we satiated our hunger elsewhere that evening. But then we tried again the next day for an early Friday dinner around 5PM, and got seated right away. And it certainly did not disappoint.
Service was homey and attentive, and also very well-oiled and efficient. For instance, when one of our entrées came out with the incorrect sides, they recognized and acknowledged the discrepancy and then quickly brought out the correct sides for that order.
The restaurant decor largely consists of license plates and bumper stickers covering the inside walls, providing ample entertainment while we waited for our food. During the meal, it was clear that the clientele consisted of a mix of regular locals and out-of-state tourists (like myself). Always a good sign.
I ordered the "Chef's Bison Cut of the Day", which was a generous helping of NY strip steak, with a mushroom sauce that was surprisingly complex and tasty. I wish we had had more days at Glacier National Park so that I could've come back and ordered more of the menu.
And yes, at Two Sisters restaurant I definitely did get "hucked up" (as they say). I got the Huckleberry Cream Soda, and the Huckleberry Pie PLUS a scoop of Huckleberry ice cream. IMO the Huckleberry ice cream here was better than the version you can find within the national park itself at the...
Read moreVery disappointing, the signs on the side of the road were saying they had the best food.The food was gross and bad quality. The service was even worse. We got no refills, they don’t do separate tabs and add 18% on bills of parties of 6 or more. Our waitress wasn't very friendly. (She could of just had a bad day.)
We were given freezer burnt tasting burgers and the 15-20 shoe string fries and a wilted salad. The salad I ordered was the half caesar salad, the leaves were very dark green and the 5 croutons were stale; it didn't have any tomatoes, cheese or egg there was barely any dressing. We had to wash it down with our saliva since our drinks were never refilled, the water was served with no ice and was warm. We unhappily paid our bill (they added 18% gratuity). Our waitress said “I haven’t sent it this slow in here for a long time, the fires must be turning people away” Still, why the awful service?
We loaded up in the car to leave, we all had our seatbelts on and we were pulling out of the parking lot and a waitress that wasn't ours ran out to us and said “Did you leave a tip?!” Thrown off guard by this the driver handed her $14. Then we decided to go in and verify the bill and we had the bill thrown at us and and was told “Your bill is right there take a picture if you’d like”. We were all very frustrated and we got back in the car and drove away.
I would never recommend this place to anybody, I would never eat there again. That was pretty disappointing. I’m 700 miles from home and would rather drive home hungry then eat here again. It deserves less...
