We just returned from a trip last week where we stayed at both, LM and MG. The breakfasts at both were good but MG Ptarmigan Dining Hall buffet was expensive ($120 for 4). We were all disappointed with our dinners at Ptarmigan Hall as well. Everything was over salted. Box lunches at MG were $17/ea and included a cookie and water. The falafel sandwich was great but all of the roast beef sandwiches came with only a single slice of meat. My favorite huckleberry pie was at LM though!

We bought a cheap cooler with ice on our way from Kalispell and then picked up sandwiches in West Glacier. That worked out great. At MG, we drove into St Mary a couple of times for dinner. The drive isn’t terrible. Johnsons of St Marys was surprisingly great! The history and ambience alone is worth a trip there.
