About This Place

Located in the vibrant heart of Missoula, Montana, Laughing Grizzly Restaurant, Bar & Casino is a truly unique destination that expertly combines the warmth of a family-friendly restaurant with the lively energy of a bar, grill, and casino. Whether you’re craving a comforting breakfast, a satisfying lunch, or an entertaining evening out, this establishment delivers an inviting atmosphere paired with robust flavors and excellent service.

The culinary offerings at Laughing Grizzly reflect a Northwest comfort style infused with hearty, bold flavors that leave a lasting impression. Breakfast enthusiasts delight in the Classic Eggs Benedict and the indulgent Huckleberry French Toast, each bite dripping with rich hollandaise and sweet berry essence. Meanwhile, the Breakfast Tacos—stuffed with homestyle potatoes, eggs, Cheddar Jack cheese, house pico de gallo, and your choice of pulled pork or sausage—deliver a satisfying twist on a morning staple that’s both zesty and comforting.

For lunch or dinner, the menu expands into a tempting array of grilled classics and fresh salads designed to satisfy every appetite. The Buffalo Burger stands out for its savory, juicy profile that pairs perfectly with sides like jalapeño poppers or a crisp Cobb Salad loaded with daily’s bacon and fresh greens. The Captain’s Catch Ale-battered fish is a must-try, boasting golden-brown fillets served with tartar sauce and a squeeze of lemon that invigorates the palate. Seafood lovers can also indulge in the Shrimp Tacos or the hearty Clam Chowder, each crafted with bold seasoning and fresh ingredients.

The bar experience complements the meal beautifully. Guests rave about the expertly mixed Bloody Marys and the bright, refreshingly sweet Raspberry Lemonade, perfect companions to the savory comfort food. A Mimosa Pitcher adds a festive sparkle to brunch hours, enhancing both the flavors on the plate and the convivial dining experience. Bart Ratner’s appreciation of the spicy Enchiladas and Eggs underscores the kitchen's ability to balance bold, nuanced flavors with tender, fresh ingredients.

Atmospherically, Laughing Grizzly strikes a wonderful balance between a casual family restaurant and a lively social space. The restaurant sections are thoughtfully separated from the bustling casino floor, creating a comfortable environment for families and those seeking a quieter meal without losing the vibrant local energy. Friendly, attentive staff like Tristen and Tamaya ensure every visit feels personalized and welcoming, whether you’re dropping in for a late breakfast or unwinding after a day of work. Cassie’s endorsement as her “absolute favorite place to eat breakfast” captures the genuine affection this community hub inspires.

From the warm embrace of their hearty dishes to the spirited ambiance enhanced by cold beers and cocktails, Laughing Grizzly Restaurant, Bar & Casino offers an authentic Missoula experience that delights every sense. Whether you’re a local or just passing through near the airport, this is a destination where food, fun, and hospitality come together seamlessly.

    Great place for a late breakfast! Not far from the airport, very family friendly restaurant section apart from the casino. Large portions, great service and good comfort food. Their raspberry lemonade is amazing!

    1st time, decided to stop in around 11am on a weekday. Between breakfast and lunch and not very busy. Waiter, Tristen, was awesome and took care of my order. Thank you. I knew I wanted the Enchiladas and Eggs. Breakfast ! Wish more diners had this on their menu. They were excellent. Spicy enough to get the nose a lil runny. Chicken was tender, wrapped in corn tortillas. Paired excellently with over easy eggs mixed atop my hash browns. I will come back every time I'm in town to try all the menu items that caught my eye.

    Recently had lunch on a rainy Saturday while waiting for a car repair. We had never been in this local hang out. It has a great atmosphere--typically Western bar and grill. The wait staff was super friendly, the beer was cold, the menu varied, and the quality was about what you'd expect from a grill. Although I didn't have one, the Bloody Mary's looked great.

    My absolute favorite place to eat breakfast (even at lunch time!) in Missoula. The hollandaise is amaaaazing, in addition to each and every dish I've tried. The servers are awesome and super efficient. I constantly recommend this restaurant to my bar customers. And the Caesars and bloody Mary's are great too!

    I've wanted to check out the Laughing Grizzly for a few years, unfortunately I was always too late in the day. I went today and I am so happy I finally was able to eat here!!! Emmy, our server was friendly. The food was really good. I had to try the Pop it's, they were amazing!!! I love spice, these burned so good! It was a buildable heat though, so I'm definitely going to order Fry bread with my poppers from now on! I ordered the chicken strip and claw fries. Both cooked perfectly. The portions were on point for a moderately hungry person. The casino was clean and the games were good too. Crystal was friendly too. This was seriously one of the best restaurant experiences I've had in the last few years! Really a great lunch. I gave atmosphere only 4 stars was the seating seemed a little close for my comfort. The decor and signage is fun and welcoming the lighting is great. There is and outside eating space also.

    The Laughing Grizzly is a great spot to have a nice comfort breakfast/lunch, serving food that is delicious every time. Amanda was our server this time and she provided excellent service and made us feel taken care of. Will definitely be coming back.

    By FAR one of the best food experiences I had enjoyed in quite some time! Service was prompt, friendly and highly responsive. The food was mouth watering! I have absolutely NO doubt as to why The Laughibg Grizzly has been voted best in Missoula. This is definitely my new excuse to make the 2 hour drive to Missoula! I want to try everything! Update: ordered a Buffalo burger to go for my lunch!
