Windbag Saloon

Amazing location. Amazing food. Great service. Loved the history and vibe of the space! Our darling server even had the bartender make a nice French75 with a splash of huckleberry.

We started with a 25 minute wait but it was less than what they expected. Not grate but not bad for a Friday night. It is packed though! We got sat down and it took the waitress a few minutes to notice us. The chairs do hurt!
------
After about half an hour our food came. The (classic) burger was ok, not the best. The fish sticks were good. The fries were so good!!!
___________

Three of us were here the first week of March....behind in my posting.
There were two sides to this large restaurant. We sat in the restaurant section but the other side is a bar.
Two of us got a Mac n cheese dish and one got wings. I was really surprised at the size of the bowl of Mac and cheese. It came hot and was very rich, so no way I could finish it. I had a bowl of soup but it was just ok, nothing I would get again.
The wings were reported as good too. We got a side of fries and I was expecting something special but I have had much better fries elsewhere. Only ate two.
The server was good and supplied all we needed with a smile.
The tables were clean and the decor was good. Has some historical items and pictures that was interesting.
I would give it a 3.5....more than zero three but not a four. There are other places with a more varied menu.

Do you like -
good food in large portions?
Do you like -
to be treated with respect?
Do you like -
a feeling like a familiar family?

If YES,
then this is THE location
that has all that and
much, much MORE.


Always:
Smiles, Laughter, Etiqute, Manners, Gifted Laid Back Servers.

Always:
Good food like YOU want it,
Good drinks like they SHOULD be, not watered down.
Good History ( 1880's)
for YOUR mind and
Great ATTITUDES, not pushy or rushed, with pleasently beautiful like minded women.


This is THE place EVERYONE ends up in their search for excellent customer service in, around or near the gulch / downtown / business district:
food, beer, drinks, options for the disabled, WINDBAG has already thought your enjoyment thru for you, again no need to worry, it's taken care of.

Do you NEED silly hat's, t-shirts, stickers, dog collars,
go somewhere else,
this aint Wallyworld,
you came here for drinks and food, let WINDBAG do what they are good at, remember they're not checkers @ Wallyworld.

THESE people will take you in and treat you in a way you did not realize was missing from your life until your treated by "REAL" empathetic servers intrested in creating pleasant memories for everyone; NOT trained organ grinder chumps all FORCED to memorize off of the same SCRIPT, asking the same thing over & over & over.
(would you like a glass of blah)
and forced to pretend to be a friend to get your money and then hide somewhere once they have it.



THIS IS AN OPINION BASED ON TWO (2) YEARS OF ON / OFF USAGE.

Service was great here and they had such a large menu. I panicked while ordering and got the brisket Mac and cheese. It was alright, the bbq sauce was great, but the brisket was kinda sparse. They had a lot of local beers from Lewis and Clark brewery as well.

2.5 stars...

In town for lunch on the way to Gkacier, and this looked like a hood Yelp joint!

Started out with a huckleberry mule and local brew, there were many to choose from!

Ordered the gulch burger and substituted pepper Jack for the blue... great smoky sweet burger. Slightly overdone but was not dry. The sweet potato fries were lukewarm and mushy, but by the time we could flag down the bartender it was too late to get fresh ones. Salad was great mix of Southwest ingredients and greens, topped with sliced chicken. The dressing was spicy, so add to your taste.

Took a long time for the bartender to recognize us, and every action thereafter was delayed, disappointed.


This joint does not make the list...

The giant pretzel is a must-have when you come here, and when they say giant, they mean giant. The service staff are super friendly and attentive. The restaurant itself is very open and therefore gets extremely loud, do not come here expecting to have a nice conversation.
Overall I was very satisfied with my food. I got the Brothel Bites, which was deep-fried enchiladas chopped up and served with Verde sauce, sour cream, and salsa.

Good pub food, but listing it as a steakhouse is an error. They do not serve steak here at all. Salads, sandwiches, burgers, yes; steak, no. Very disappointed as I was looking for a steak. But the food, service and atmosphere is on point. Just not a steakhouse.

Tried the new updated restaurant for the first time and we were very impressed! The fish and chips and the fish tacos were excellent and more than enough food for one or two people (Good Friday)! Service was excellent! Atmosphere is very nice! The biggest complaint we have about this place is the extremely loud music, hard to visit because of it!

Good food, horrible management. The servers are nice and hustle but the tables are never cleaned quickly and there are always empty/dirty tables where people could sit but are waiting. The Montana Dip is very good and the brothel bites are also tasty it is a shame they can't get their act together. The waitress did great and was very kind.
