“ Come. here. We landed at Nickel Charlies for breakfast based on a recommendation from a local. I am writing this after our 3rd breakfast visit in a row. We really enjoyed it! Nice staff, fun ol’ country atmosphere with old pedal cars hanging from the ceiling. First morning we ordered the breakfast special of a prime rib scramble and felt like we were getting a lot of good food for the money. Went into Glacier NP and weren’t hungry till dinner time! Second time my husband had sirloin steak and eggs for under 10. The scratch made biscuits were fluffy hearty additions to every meal. I enjoyed a tasty basic eggs, bacon, hash browns breakfast with large dinner plate pancakes one morning and a steak scramble the next. Every breakfast choice was excellent! The only thing I’d hope for is a bit less bitter coffee but that’s nothing a little cream can’t fix. Overall we loved it! Go here for breakfast and enjoy, leaving full and satisfied! ”
“ Nickle Charlie's is a pretty neat little casino and bar/grill. This review is after my third time there, all of them being enjoyable dining experiences. The pasta dishes are excellent. The ranch dipping sauce is one of the best in town. The nachos with real cheese are quite tasty. Service even during rush hour was good. The servers are friendly and experienced! All in all a comfortable place to grab a good bite or drink and relax. ”
“ I really enjoyed that I could go to the casino and play a little while waiting for my food. Didn't have any luck ”

“ We got there before lunch and had our hearts set on clam chowder and salads. Our Sever made this happen for us and everything was delicious as always! Thank you young girl, we didn’t get you name but you were awesome! ”
“ 03/08/2025. Nickel Charlie's breakfast can't be outdone! Their Chicken Fried Steak w/country bacon gravy is the best in the Flathead valley! Possibly...In the state of Montana! I brought 3 friends whom have never been to Nickel Charlie's before, and they raved about the food! The CFS, the huge cinnamon rolls, the corn beef hash! I miss you, Rachel! Nickel Charlie's is one of my favorite all-time go to family restaurants. The experience I had with the prime rib dinner, this time, was good. The prime rib itself was an end cut and it was extremely large. The flavor was good, I thought, for my taste, it was too rare. The loaded baked potato was awesome. The house salad was the freshest and crispiest green salad I have had. I highly recommend Nickel Charlie's ”
“ Took my family here for breakfast today and it was great! Service was friendly and fast and the food was wonderful. It was busy on a Saturday morning, so be prepared to wait. Will be back again! ”
“ We were passing through town, and this restaurant was recommended to us by a local. The place is really nice inside. The decor was very unique, with a Montana look. My wife and I both got sandwiches, and they were excellent. I got the rubin, and my wife got the BLT. We would definitely eat here again. They also have a very nice clean casino, which is attached. ”
