Cool place!! Definitely will come again when I'm in town. The pretzel is huge, the Buffalo mac n cheese was really good too.
It was a very nice experience. The food is nothing special but we enjoyed all the flavors. Everything was good and well made.
First time going here and it didn't disappoint. We loved the pretzel for starters and our meals were awesome too! Can't say enough for our waitress either. She was on top of it. So, thanks goes to her for her help and kindness today.
Food and drinks were great, HOWEVER, I left my wallet on the table when I left. Our beautiful waitress found it and secured it. We drove back to the Saloon and told the sweet lady behind the bar, she had it in a secure drawer. My cash was all there. How often do you find wonderful and honest people who go above and beyond and even more above and beyond. Just wanted to say thank you, thank you, thank you!
This place has amazing food & was very accommodating to our large group. The drinks were good. The gin huckleberry martini I had was unexpectedly sour but, still good. The staff was very efficient and polite. The gyro meat was very tasty and the Buffalo chicken sandwich was cooked perfectly. (It's not an option for recommendations.)
The place is bursting w excitement, plenty of table. Good ambience for family get-together, dates & friends. Friendly waitress. Brisket mac & cheese is awesome. Montana is a cattle state. Best to order bison or beef, truly all beef. Burgers on pretzel bun is satisfying for the men in my company. Parking is free after 5 pm. Nice location in walking mall.
You’ll love this place, great drinks, great food. Fun atmosphere with good service, choose a seat in the bar and watch the game on a giant 4K screen or sit in the restaurant side and read the history about Madame Dorothy. But there is 1 weird issue because of a problem Dorothy created. In order to keep the bed count high with all the Dirty Girls, (not cocktails), rooms were at maximum capacity causing only one bathroom. Yes really, there is 1 single toilet to serve all the men, women and children. Plan on waiting during game day. But the rustic charm mixed with a new old world remodel filled with laughs and cheers will keep you coming back. Just like me, for the Extra Dirty Girls.
Amazing food! Grant was a fantastic waiter! So attentive and one of the best waiters we have ever had! Loved this place, definitely a can't miss when visiting Helena!
