Had a fish sandwich because if Lent. It was par for the course for our area except the bun was phenomenal. The mound of fries was huge, must have cut up 4 potatoes to make it. As mentioned great atmosphere here awesome stop will be stopping in again and again.

Being “Out of Towners”, my wife and I were treated not only to authentic, personable staff, but also to a delicious home cooked meal at budget price. This find may not win any awards for ambiance, but I’m giving it one for the food.

Nice simple small town café. Don't go in there expecting fine dining, but expect friendly people and a nice meal. Menu is normal American offerings, you will leave the place full.

Stopped in on my way thru Butte and found this little local gem. Staff were friendly and they boxed up these fresh-off-the-pan cinnamon rolls for me! Only $2/roll - what a yummy steal

Wonderful well worth stopping in. Make their own bread for the toast. Hands down, bar none awesome. No jelly needed although I did add. They 100% make in house sausage patties, which are the BEST! (like cafes myself, dinne at them a lot. This place's patty's are the best). The hash browns are made real in kitchen with real potatoes. (Hats off to the kitchen Staff for not just dumping a bag of store bout harsh browns!!!)Staff is lovely, jokes, talks to you like a human (hard to find). Very affordable! Hole family, it was WELL WORTH the ticket. Thank you Firehouse bakery & Cafe!!!
