Johnson's Of St. Mary - Browning

Came in on a Sunday after driving through GNP and ordered their special. The fried chicken wasn't served hot. It wasn't very warm when tearing it apart either so I only ate one piece. My favorite part of the meal was the homemade bread that came out with the soup. The soup was a bit salty but still tasty. No complaints on the service, staff was friendly and attentive that day, but I agree that the check in/waiting system they have going on is a bit odd. I made sure to sit in front of the door to be seen. I will say that had I read the review that was posted a few days prior to my visit, regarding the mocking of Asian accents I would have had lunch elsewhere.

Overall good food but not a great experience. The good: the food was decent, we had the Sunday fried chicken special and the bread, soup, and chicken were all tasty. Large portions as well for $22 a person, which is slightly pricey but realistic for the area. Additionally, the servers were friendly and attentive once seated. The bad: be prepared for a bit of a wait?or not. The waiting system is strange and inconsistent. We wrote our names down for a party of 2 (no one gives you an actual time estimate to be seated). Two other parties of 2 were seated before us, and after about 25 min, another party of 4 showed up and put their names down ? they were seated instantly. Obviously looking confused, the waiter let us know they had to wait for a smaller table to open up in order to seat us. About 10 minutes later we were seated at a table of 4, and noticed the party of 4 was seated at a table of 5 which made no sense. We could have been seated 35 minutes earlier at the table of 5, and the party of 4 could have been seated at another table (there were plenty of other larger tables available). It just made no sense for them to wait that long when they had the capability of seating and serving us. Additionally, they were still only serving their lunch menu rather than their dinner menu they advertised online at dinner time which we didn?t know until we sat down. The ugly: during our meal, the employees were talking on the other side of the restaurant, and we overhead one openly mocking people with Asian accents. This last part is seriously not acceptable.

This a great little place! The food was wonderful and the staff friendly. We will be stopping again. The price was fair considering the normal price is a such a tourist area and plenty of food. We had the Sunday chicken special with an extra bowl of Good Soup and split it. It sure was good soup too. I could smell it as soon as I walked in and wanted some.

The service was great, and the food tasted wonderful. love that they say it is made from scratch! my fewer than 5 stars is because of portion size and pricing. i am not sure if things changed after the pandemic to make up some sort of cost, but the portion to cost ratio didn't seem to add up. having never been to glacier and not having piles of cash, i just felt a little cheated. paying almost $14 for an open faced BBQ with a bowl of soup seemed a bit much. almost $4 for what seemed like a literal one scoop of huckleberry ice cream didn't seem right either! but we did it all because when you stay in St Mary, this is about your only food option available. i left with a good taste in my mouth but still feeling hungry, and for about $40 for two, that just shouldn't happen. again, food tasted really good, but i wish there was more of it if you are going to stick with those prices.

Lexie and Tony ? are AMAZING!! We enjoyed the help from these two during check in and selecting hikes and sights for our time in Glacier. The campgrounds are generally well kept. We did have our first grizzly encounter! Apparently he?s a frequent visitor who likes to just pass through KNOW BEFORE YOU GO: You get shower coins for 6 minute showers one per person, per night . Thankfully you can skip nights and take a longer shower if you?d like. The water temps aren?t consistent but do get warm. Some showers will take your coin but give you know time. Happened to me and I overheard someone else have the same problem Thankfully you can go back and let them know to get your coins back, but since you only have 6 minutes, you?ll already be naked when you find out it doesn?t work!! So you have to dress back up . . . Really inconvenient. The back shower house is also mildly maintained. The counter is always soaked, making it hard to set anything down. There?s no paper towels to help the case. This location was almost always out of soap during our 3 night stay.
