Customer Reviews

"My wife had the ribeye steak with baked potato garlic, toast, and veggies. The steak was really delicious and it's at very reasonable price. I had the burger with the onion rings on it. It was also very good. Fries were hot. Burger was good. Bun was good. Thank you for the delicious lunch."

- Mike

"This place serves great steaks. And fries. Insider tip--locals go nuts for the cocktail sauce which is *full* of horseradish and very tasty. Hand cut fries were delicious. I ordered the sides and an extra plate for $10 and we still took home two to go's. If you are in Bozeman and can get in, do it. I include the bar menu because I haven't seen any shots of that."

- Jan V.

"This is a favorite we bring all our out-of-town friends and family to experience now. The steaks are a delicious thick slice of Montana and all of them have loved it. It's the old-fashioned steak supper club experience that anyone passing through Montana should stop and savor! (And be sure to show up hungry. The portions are sized to feed a hardworking cowpoke who hasn't eaten since breakfast.) This place is clearly a favorite of locals - it's not just Manhattan residents eating here, anyone who lives in Gallatin County has likely made a special trip for the amazing plate of food you get here. You can look around the crowd and tell. Excellent service. Love the cozy wood-walls-cabin-feeling atmosphere. Automatic Veggie/pickle tray to start and Ice Cream for dessert."

"One of easiest the best places I've ever experienced. Food shouldn't be this good at restaurant like this! Definitely coming back to this spot again!"

- Nikola D.

"Maaannn.. our expectations were set pretty high for this place and they came up a little short. First off, service was good. We sat on the bar side and with just about a full bar top and a couple tables, they had 1 waitress hustling and giving everybody the same amount of attention. Very impressive. The atmosphere was very enjoyable also! Now to the food. I'd say the portions were pretty fair for the price. The one pickled cauliflower head you get is absolutely delicious. We both chose a loaded potato and were told that a loaded potato had evverryyytthhing. When that arrived it was just bacon and green onions. No sour cream, no cheese.. just left disappointed on that "loaded" expectation. The steak was good. Decent size as well. We also had ordered a side of large fried shrimp. The first and only bite taken was met with raw batter. The waitress gave no fuss about taking it off our bill and it was all dealt with respectfully. Just again, disappointed. Overall, it was just a little mediocre with our food but service and atmosphere was good! Bonus points for being next to the train track though! It was awesome to see the train flying by and feeling the ground vibrate from it all!"

- Ginnie J.

"Good place to eat, not far from Bozeman. They are famous for their steak fingers so that's what I got. The large portion is enough for 3 meals I kid you not. Also tried a Huckleberry liquor which was an interesting experience. They have a good mix of craft local Montana beers. Solid place to eat."

- Rob Y.

"Good prices, 2 people eat with $26 plus tip, wedge fries are good, bag salad it's just ok, coffeeGood, excellent customer service. We ordered 2 coffees 1 big hamburger no sides, small salad, fries."
