Great Northern Dining Room

Glacier National Park


This big restaurant in the Glacier Park Lodge serves upscale classics, such as prime rib, and more Montana-influenced dishes like braised bison ribs, as well as pasta and fish and chips. A good way to start off the meal is with the roasted brussel sprouts or a classic caesar salad. Much of the menu is available in the more casual Empire Lounge and bar a few steps away.
