GLUTEN-FREE FRIENDLY! Chef/Owner Chris made my life so much easier, being celiac. It is really difficult to find gluten friendly restaurants who understand, let alone that are delicious!
I ordered the amazing brisket and eggs, and the lovely waitress said they had gluten-free pancakes and they were excellent, and my goodness they are the best I’ve ever had! He also wiped down the grill for me! They also have GF bread that’s very good.
On top of it, there’s no upcharge for gluten-free substitutions, which is unheard of, and that’s so nice because we can’t help it. Plus the coffee is great and they offer oat milk.
Thank you so much for such a wonderful dining experience. This is my go-to spot in Helena now!

Delicious food! If you're looking for a great classic country breakfast, the Hardware Cafe is perfect. Our party was sat shortly after arriving (a party of 5 with kids). Our waitress was friendly and got the kids' orders in first for us. Our food came out hot and tasted wonderful. It's a drive for our crew, even so we plan to come back for breakfast again. Weekends are quite busy so plan for it to be a little noisy but that just adds to the country diner charm.

We went for brunch/breakfast, and the food was delicious. I got the French Toast with huckleberries as recommended by a friend, and I would get it again. The huckleberry cream was rich yet slightly tart, and it perfectly paired with the soft french toast. The atmosphere was relaxed and the restaurant is really cute.

Wish I could give this no stars. We eat here alot and stoppes to eat breakfast this morning. It was the worst breakfast I have ever had. It was so cold, the eggs were way over cooked and the butter wouldn't even melt on my pancake. My husband had a ham & cheese omelete and the cheese wasn't even melted. We will not return for awhile and give this place a rest.

I lived in Montana for 4 years, and only a month before moving to Nebraska did I discover this hidden gem – the Hardware Café. It’s even better than Steve’s Café! The coffee is roasted in-house and incredibly fresh. I had an espresso with my omelette and flapjacks, and everything was delicious. The service was great, and the best part? Our family of 5 enjoyed a hearty meal for just $75. The kids absolutely loved it, and I ended up going back three times in the two weeks before we moved. My only regret is not finding this place sooner! Please improve your marketing so more people can discover you. Highly recommend!
The chicken fried steak is the best I have ever had.

No longer have a separate vegan menu, but have vegan pancakes and waffles which is a rare find. Also have a vegan skillet with veggies and hash browns. Vegan butter and “not chicken strips” available upon request. Good food and super friendly servers who know what vegan is.

Their food is GREAT. Not the cheapest in town, but not terribly high. For the quality, it is definitely worth it. The only thing I would warn you about is if you prefer a medium roast coffee, this ain't it! It is a DARK roast that is very stout. Prepare for it to eat your spoon ? But their iced tea is lovely.

The flys were terrible this morning. My country fried steak was burnt. They did fix my steak. But the flys. Ugh!
