Everyone says to get their bear claws, but the turnovers are so much better. They do have credit card machines and public bathrooms outside during business hours. Also was told you can get their bakery goods at local weekend markets.

No gas station so get gas beforehand or enjoy your walk through prime grizzly habitat. The staff is very friendly and ready to answer any question you may have. Small playground with climbing bars in the shape of an old steam locomotive. 16 miles from the Canadian border but the checkpoint is closed. There is a mercantile with outdoor seating to buy hot food and sit before starting your next journey. A gift shop as well. Friendly loveable dog roams the property ready to greet the next vehicle in exchange for a scratch behind the ear.

Additionally, the lack of cell service in the area allows you to truly enjoy your surroundings! I highly recommend the jalapeño rolls and the ricotta poppy seed rolls—they're a perfect 10 out of 10.

We purchased 8 bear claws (possibly the best I've ever tasted), 1 fritter, 1 lemon huckleberry bar, 1 monkey pull-apart loaf, and 1 huckleberry loaf, totaling $85. I was taken aback by the lack of listed prices. The food was exquisite! If I return, I would definitely choose the lemon huckleberry bar over the bear claw, and I'd also get the monkey pull-apart loaf.

It's a stunning area, and the Mercantile Shop has gained a reputation for its delicious Huckleberry bear claws. A freshly made Huckleberry bear claw is not only incredibly tasty but also makes for a great start to your camping breakfast. Just a heads up, the road to get there is gravel and might have some rough spots if it hasn’t been graded, so be prepared for a bit of an adventure. It's a bit off the beaten path, but if you haven't experienced Huckleberries before, this is a must-try! The bear claws are truly something special. It's a worthwhile stop on your way to Lake Bowman, as it's the only place around where you can grab food, gas, and souvenirs. The sandwiches are massive and quite filling, and there's a good selection of Montana souvenirs to choose from. Kudos to this place for successfully maintaining their business for so long and providing essential services to all visitors!
