Wetlands - (Near Cusick, WA)

4 /5 R More: The Kalispell "Wetlands" is a really unique spot, tucked in the middle of nowhere. They have a nice little casino and an RV resort. I haven’t stayed in the cottages yet, but I plan to this summer. I have eaten at the restaurant several times over the years. The food is good—not amazing, but definitely better than just going to the bar. They could easily offer a few standout meals at reasonable prices. Over the years, I’ve tried their Indian Taco, which was unique, as well as their burgers (solid, standard burgers) and a Reuben. The fries are decent, salads are well done, and the service is pretty good. The restaurant itself is very clean and comfortable. My main thought is that they could push the menu a bit more. There’s been very little change since they opened. Perhaps a monthly special or some upgraded dishes could really elevate the dining experience. I think they have the potential to do better—after all, the food at Northern Quest Casino on the West Plains is really good. Interestingly, when they owned the corner restaurant in Usk, some of those dishes were better than what they serve at the casino. If business allows, I’d love to see them reopen the corner restaurant, even if only for breakfast and lunch.

3 /5 Al S.: We have never been disappointed with the food, or the prices at the Wetlands. Unfortunately we cannot say the same thing about the service. There are a couple of ladies who have been there a while that almost always provide good service, but most of the other servers that we have had are slow, and sometimes just disappear on you all together. One big problem is that even if there are just a few people in the restaurant, if a server is not assigned to your table they will not help you, even just to refill water etc. We have often had to flag down other servers to find our server for assistance. I guess that many servers do not understand that they could make much more in tips by hustling and providing better service!

5 /5 Sheralee Ronan: Great friendly service. Staff are overly accomodating The fry bread is the highlight IMHO. Vegetables with entree are freshly prepared and cooked. Not reheated from frozen. Only downside for me personally is wishing the bar selections were more varied. But each to their own in that regard. Bourbon/Coke - Mushroom Soup - Fry Bread with berry compote - Steak, herb butter, roasted red potatos, aspargus

1 /5 Kimberly Ross: Stopped for Breakfast, which apparently ends at 11. We were then told we would not be seated, along with another couple waiting, for thirty minutes. Most the tables were empty, other than the larger table of people already seated. It appeared they arent staffed enough to accommodate the dining room! This is the second time we have had a bad experience there, and we will not waste our time again. The first time the food was sub par, and the service was terrible.

4 /5 gcleff11: This place reminds of when their sister property (Northern Quest) first opened, and actually had good food. While the menu doesnt knock your socks off, what they do have is prepared well, and isnt too terribly expensive being in the middle of beautiful nowhere. My burger was robust, Wifeys wings were fine, and the Cheeseburger Soup side I had was excellent. The staff made this experience great. Everyone was so friendly, and it was good to see young people that actually get off the couch and go to work. We would certainly dine here again when we visit the RV resort. Spotlessly clean place, too...
