Bulldog Saloon

First place we head to when arriving, and when leaving our Whitefish vacation home is The Bulldog!!
Greasy? Check.     Tasty? 2 checks.   Real Onion Rings. Check!
Really, what else do you need?  This place is renowned through tout the valley; some of it is the bathroom nudies, but mostly it's the cheap drinks and juicy burgers that make it special. And by special, I mean front-of-the-bus special!  Just do it! (Not everyday, but today; today you need this!

Great food. If it wasn't for the great food I'd never come here. The food and the help taking your food orders are great. The bartender, however, is another story. Asked for a beer twice, got walked by three times and more than 15min later finally got a beer. The burger though was hands down the best I've had. If not for the bar service it would have been an easy 4 stars.

Well, it's definitely not the fanciest place in town, not by a long shot, but is does have appeal.  If you're more of a Casey's or Boat Club kind of person, you're probably not going to get much out of the Bulldog.  However, if you're looking for more for a "Montana experience" then this is where you want to be.  They server bar food, but man is it good bar food!  In my book, it's the go to place in Whitefish for burgers and wings.  Also, do yourself a favor and get the sour cream & chive fries...trust me on this one.  

If you're at the Bulldog and have to avert your eyes as order after order of those delicious hamburgers keep going past your table, because you can't have one due to your unfortunate gluten allergy, FEAR NOT!  The Bulldog is 1 of only 2 places (that I know of) IN THE WHOLE VALLEY, that are considerate enough to offer gluten free buns to their customers.  So get in there, you poor gluten free soul, and get yourself a burger!!!

As to the star rating, I was really torn.  I really wish Yelp offered a 1/2 stars option or I would have given the Bulldog 3 1/2 stars.  I wanted to give it 4, but when I looked at  the other places I was awarding 4 stars to, in my opinion, it just isn't a 4 stars place...by comparison.  Sorry Bulldog, I still love you and will still keep coming back, so to all you people reading this, don't let the 3 stars deter you.  Go!  You'll have a great time and eat some really good food.
