It was a Sunday Morning when we rolled into the Roy Rogers in Terry,Montana, to stop in and get a filling meal. We had a group with us, we hadn’t announced ourselves, and yet we still got good service, great pizza, and a wonderful experience all around. Continue Reading

I know it’s a national chain and all, and that we mostly stick to local Montana businesses, but we’d never been to a Fuddruckers before, and boy were we in for a surprise. The value is good, the food is great and the atmosphere is frankly second to none. Continue Reading

With over 14-years in business and a small chain of places to their credit, Guadalajara Mexican Restaurants strikes a fine balance between corporate food and unpredictable one-off stores. They boast a 95+% previous diner rate, and having eaten there myself, I’m not surprised as to why. They’re just plain great. Continue Reading

One place in the town of Philipsburg, Montana that just can’t be missed is the ice cream shop and restaurant known as Doe Brothers Soda Fountain. It’s a good restaurant, a fine place to stop in out of the sun, and great place to get old-timey soda, sundaes and shakes of all kinds, and just cool off in general. Continue Reading

Philipsburg is a great little town with an awful lot of things to do that draw in tourists far and wide. Considering what a hot destination it is for visitors, you may rightly fear that you’ll be unable to find a good meal at a fair price, but this town has the Philipsburg Café, which offers generous portions in a no-frills setting, at very reasonably prices. Continue Reading

During our latest tour, we took the time to visit each and every IHOP in Montana. It’s not as hectic as hitting every Starbucks in Manhattan or every McDonalds, well, anywhere, but it did make for a nice, familiar taste in many of the places we went. Continue Reading

Havre is a bigger city than its census population might suggest, and as such, it’s home to more restaurants than you could reasonably expect to try out in a single trip, regardless of how long it might be. This is a city big enough to have its own Walmart, so sorting through the noise to find the rose among thorns might be tricky, so let me suggest a place we sampled that we found exceptional. Continue Reading

Of all the IHOPs we’ve reviewed, and believe me, as big fans of IHOP, we’ve reviewed a bunch, this one is easily in our top three favorites. The food is good, the service is prompt, the value is expected and the atmosphere is nice. Add that to their laundry list of promos and you’ve got a dinner destination far better than taking your chances with the random restaurant any day of the week. Continue Reading

Co-owners Arline and Inger Koppenhaver named their 50’s style diner, located in downtown Terry, Montana, after the Badlands located just across the nearby Yellowstone River. Continue Reading

If you’re driving on Highway 93 in the area south of Missoula, Montana, there’s a certain family fun center you just shouldn’t miss. It’s got a name as unique as the super-fun offerings they have inside, but maybe you don’t have kids, you’re in a big hurry, or just some sort of general fuddy-duddy. I can’t speak to who you are or what made you that way, but I can tell you that if you’re in the area and hungry, forget what you know about afterthought cafés, because Café Gelato is well worth the stop whatever your reason.

We first visited Staggering Ox in Helena, where they have an unbelievable flagship eatery, complete with acres of kitsch, an art museum full of some of the least likely “art,” and a staff that just can’t be beat… they also have great food, but once you’re there, it hardly seems like the point. We loved the food, so we decided to focus on it more specifically this time around.

Big Sky Resort is already famous as one of the best skiing destinations in the nation. Its high peaks, long runs and vast diversity in types of runs available – designed to satisfy the first-timer, die-hard slope junky, and everyone in between – but once you get off the shushing slopes, you’re going to be hungry, and that’s where Big Sky really veers away from its rivals.

Feed your love! February’s Festa Regionale menu at Il Fornaio highlights the Italian region of Marche for a special Valentine’s outing, exquisitely pairing the cuisine of the mountains with that of the sea. The cooks in the mountainous region of Marche specialize in hearty meat dishes such as lamb and pork, while the coastal inhabitants take advantage of the abundant finfish and shellfish.

A decades-old fixture of Helena, the Staggering Ox was recently voted by MAXIM Magazine* as creating one of the top 3 sandwiches in the country (for “The Nuke”.) Our little stop off proved more to us than that they know their way around the kitchen. We found they know the way around the whole experience of people dropping by for food, fun and an array of stimu-tainment ranging from musical to visual with many stops in between.
