“I organized a surprise birthday dinner for my girlfriend and the Highlander went above and beyond for our party of 12. The food, atmosphere, and service was incredible. They created personalized custom menus with her name on them. The band playing that night also sang her favorite classic songs. Thanks for helping me pull off the surprise.”

“Nice place - just stopped in for a drink.”

“the service was the best I've experienced in a long time and the food was excellent, keep up the good work.”

“On Broadway has never disappointed, great food and atmosphere, when your food arrives, you lose the sense that there are people all around you, the cooks and waitresses are awesome, some even remember us from prior dinning experiences!!! absolutely nothing negative to say about the restaurant or the staff, except that they need to do the alligator special more often!!!! top notch dinning!!!”

“relaxing a park and no internet”

“Nice place! Good food! Live music 🥰”

The entertainment was engaging and unique, the food menu impressive and fresh, and the service excellent! Great job to the bar manager, Chase! We will definitely be back!”

“Beautiful place, wonderful food! Highly recommended!”

“Beautiful Resturant with AMAZING FOOD! The waitress was so kind! We left with full bellies & big smiles & we didn’t put a dent in our wallet! This is gonna be my new “must stop” when I come to Helena!”

“KUDOs. The pickled vegetables were spicy and replaced immediately (I was originally told they weren't spicy). The steak lettuce cups were tasty.
CHALLENGEs. The buffalo steak was okay at best; to be fair, buffalo is usually just okay.”

“The meno at Hokkaido is expansive, with options from sushi, sashimi, rolls, noodle bowls and lots of items prepared with jalapeños! The drink menu is also varied, with plenty of drinks to choose from. We chose Hokkaido for the convenient location, but we'll remember it for the fabulous cuisine and return when we're back in Helena!”

“Went here tonight for the first time and ordered the steak which was amazing! Our waiter was even more phenomenal with such a knack for customer service. Would go back again.”

“After my previous review, the manager at Haps Bar took the time to investigate the incident and made sure things were made right for both the bartender and the karaoke DJ. I was encouraged to give Haps another chance, and I'm glad I did.

I stopped in on this beautiful, relaxing Friday and had an absolutely enjoyable time. Marty was tending bar evening and did a fantastic job. Not only was he attentive and friendly, but he even helped us attempt to rescue someone's pet bird, which certainly made for a memorable night.

I also want to acknowledge that I was wrong to let the unacceptable behavior of one patron negatively shape my overall opinion of the establishment. Looking back, that individual's actions did not reflect the bar, its staff, or its management.

Haps Bar has a welcoming atmosphere, great service, and genuinely caring staff. If you're looking for a place to relax, enjoy a good drink, and spend time with good company, I would definitely recommend stopping by.”

“Went to the ranch at Helena mt Was completely amazed how good the food was there. The staff is amazing friendly and professional. Kept food fresh and the store clean. Would recommend it to anyone. Don”

“Lots of fun great food had lobster, shrimp,scallops very very tasty. If you’re in Helena, Montana you should check it out.”

“Food was great. This has been our second time here. We were sat near the kitchen area and everyone seemed to work together great. I heard kitchen staff call waiter/ waitresses and say “please” just about every time when food was up for them to get. TYLER was the best waiter we’ve had in a long time. (And we eat out ALOT). He had our order taken in a timely fashion, we got our appetizer and not long after got our burgers and fries! He refilled our drinks without even asking! Place was getting busy and he was running all over! Give this guy a raise!! Hands down recommend. *****”

“I love the Hub. I've been going there for years. I'm a pool player. Plenty of league nights and tournaments through the various leagues. I love the owners & staff, always helpful and friendly. Their food selection is great. My mom loves their steak fingers 🐺😎”

“Excellent food! Excellent and friendly service! I had the shrimp tacos and they were amazing. Also chose the sweet potato fries. We will definitely be returning soon. ☺️”

“comfortable rooms, great place to rest you weary travelers head”

“A friendly, welcoming environment, evident with friends who gather together. A stranger would feel safe to enter and might even make friends, if he or she is not rude, arrogant, or judgmental. Be nice and respectful, and it can be a great experience.”

“We met our family here for breakfast. We had 6 adults and 1 kid. We loved that we could be ourselves and have a great meal in a great atmosphere . The cooks and server even checked on us multiple times! Always love this place❤”

“Pizza at Ten Mile Creek Brewery is amazing. They just opened their new kitchen and they are crushing it with their pizza game! it is so so good!”

“Great cup of coffee! Highly recommend!”

“I made the mistake of placing an order through the app for great falls instead of Helena. Levi saw that I was frustrated with the situation and showed excellent customer service by getting me taken care of and providing me a cookie! Always take care of your customers and they will take care of you! Great Job Levi!”

“There is a huge hole on your Driveway on the main entry point. My car fell in it and worried about the tire!!”

“Service: Excellent, unless your DISABLED Ambiance: Smallest ski lodge in world, no fire, or many places to sit, or stand. Food; what food?????? Beer: Some are delicious, some are okay, some are only half flavour. * I NEVER ONCE HAD A BAD CREAM ALE. THEY WERE ALWAYS TOPNOTCH. * * So today Dec 13th 2023 I was Locked out of a public Business until Bethany(mgr) opened the door, good thing there was no fire. I was told by Bethany to take down my review because their workers think of themselves like angles who can do no wrong and they have Never Ever in the slightest way Ever offended a disabled person? (besides myself I guess) I invited Bethany to go to lunch with me so she could experience real empathetic servers that help everyone and to witness how truly nice they are to EVERYONE, not just to their FREINDS, TIPPERS and good looking people W/$ Of COURSE she declined, no need to witness excellent service when GOOD is GOOD enough. Sorry Bethany, you are the one who is incorrect, I can not even began to list all of the wrongs done to me as a disabled individual at your business, nor do I want to relive them. WHAT STARTED Blackfootriver's HATRED TOWARD ME, YOU MAY ASK, "A CONVERSATION WITH A BARMAID" after about 3/4 - 1 year (of filling the Growler I used to have, ALSO this is THE ONLY WORKER THERE that said more than the required MEMORIZED, "can I get you a glass of beer" , as in she could and would talk to me, until a mgr would see her talking & then she would go quite. * THE CONVERSATION * ME "If you ever find that you have extra time on your hands AND you also want to add a friend, I volunteer. " BARMAID " That is the sweetest thing you could have ever said to me" Now she comes back from filling my growler and when she gets; back she grabs my money I have on the counter and disappear's into the crowd for the next 1 1/2 days....... she hides, behind workers, behind the bar, telling everyone I am the problem. Unless she has told everyone about taking my money & hiding away from me after stealing, then she is not telling Blackfoot the truth. And no, I did not get to give a tip to her like normal, it was grabbed off of the counter like some kind of ripoff. So, Bethany, in all honesty I can NOT retract my original review as it is based on 2 years of service, although I don't think Blackfootriver even KNEW I was a customer for the first year, year and half. Nope I am positive no one there ever even ONE TIME said hello to me for the first year. *Comments* to me over (2 years time) . -"Maybe you should go sit in the street" -"Why would we need that for the disabled" -"Don't mind me cutting in front" -"Let me finish with him first, you come in here all the time" -"I didn't think you wanted anything; you were sitting in your chair" -"Go Ahead, serve them, even tho I was at the bar first" Just How Many Times Does A (disabled) Customer have to feel worthless from comments and actions? * THIS IS AN OPINION BASED ON 2 YEARS OF * Original Posting : I was wondering why your business does not have any type of disabled ANYTHING. No chairs, no tables not even a small stool for anyone who does not have working legs, and forget about a table upstairs, THOSE are stairs, not an escalator! In fact the only thing I could find you do for the disabled or more like to the disabled is to clog up the sidewalk on Park Ave. During the summer, with a bunch of drunks who do not want to move out of the way of people In wheelchairs. And THANK YOU for the trash, broken glass and vomit all over the sidewalk come Monday Morning. Thank you so much for your disability support, (I mean REALLY, not even a chair) ; and OH WELL, for reccommending your business to any family or friends, this, coming from a 3rd generation Montanan in their later years, with hundreds of family & friends. Also your crew needs to learn how to talk to the disabled without making them f”

“We always stop for chicken when we come to town. It's always delicious! We always plan for a bit of a wait for a table and a bit more of a wait for food, but the chicken is worth it. Sadly tonight we had a less than pleasant experience. We were able to get a table and order right away, things were looking great. Then we waited and waited and waited... The table that sat down after we ordered got their food. Then we waited and the table next to us that arrived 20 minutes after we ordered got their food. The waitress was friendly and apologetic and told us it would be 7 more minutes. Ten minutes later and over 45 minutes after we ordered our 1 chicken dinner it arrived. The chicken was good as always but we weren't offered any type of recompense for our wait and in fact were given the wrong ticket. Not sure where the error was made but do better Suds Hut! We will be thinking about this experience next time we are in town and may choose to go elsewhere.”

“The chicken fried steak is worth the drive.”

“Rib Shack went above and beyond our expectations for wedding catering. Not only was each plate affordable, we also had plenty of food for guests to eat what they needed to be full. The food was delicious and we received so many good complements about it!”

“Justin is amazing! Very professional and friendly and most importantly caring about his patients. Justin is always courteous with a smile and resident are happy hours later and sometimes days later expressing what such paramount care Justin gives them.
Than you!”

“The young man, Chance at the cashiers station is amazing !! He takes his time with each customer to remember their names , make personal connection, and is very kind !! Give this kid a raise ! He’s a rockstar !”

“Great service and great food!! A++++ Just got back from Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina and the food was spot on! Highly recommended.”

“This is my new favorite coffee/refresher shop! The staff are always on top, and are super kind. The drinks are very delicious and they have a huge variety of them as well, you can customize pretty much everything! I went today and the line was very long, as there was a “brewdoh” promotion, yet the line went by pretty quick, great job to the staff! Love this place I definitely recommend it!”

“Fabulous! Jill and her crew are just the best!”

“It is an absolute yes, every single time that we get a chance to go to Rockstars BBQ! The Ambiance of their restaurant is breathtaking. Great brisket, delicious pulled pork street tacos and that coleslaw is a yummy one of a kind. The food is the star of the show but the staff really hit it home! Thank you for making my birthday dinner tasty!”

“This is a jewel of a pastry shop! My Bestie & I absolutely LOVE the cruffins & ham & cheese croistatas,croissants, well as many other goodies!! Great coffee & a darling vintage atmosphere💝”

“I've eaten their food at Alive at Five and at the Montana Writers Rodeo, a writers conference at the Helena Avenue Theatre. Living on the West Coast for 18 years turned me into a bit of a food snob. When I see their truck I know I'm going to have delicious food, friendly service, and it won't empty my wallet.”

“Grateful Bread has delicious lunch and baked goods. The staff is always super friendly.”

“When I was there I felt like I was Garfield and the entire place was a giant lasagna that’s how good literally everything there is.”

“Amazing food and great service from Elisabeth A😎🥳”

“The staff are very friendly and always makes great drinks. They offer great tasting protein balls and other little treats that keep you wanting more.”

“Fun brewery and taphouse. Good beer with plenty of beer variety. They offer live music and a variety of other activities on various nights like trivia and games.”

“If it ain't FloCo I don't go! These ladies serve up the best white mocha I've ever tasted. I love the rewards program that gifts you a free drink after so many purchases. They're always super polite and smiling. Never had a bad coffee here EVER! Keep killing it ladies you're all doing fantastic. See you again soon :-)”

“City Brew has the best customer service! The OWNER drove by and noticed how busy they were and pulled over, went inside and helped with orders.”

“The food was good and fresh, but $21 for the ahi tuna bowl felt high for the portion size. A little more rice, sauce, and lower-cost toppings would make it feel like a much better value without needing to add more tuna. It would also be nice to have a smaller, cheaper bowl option. The drinks, especially the strawberry lemonade, also seemed overpriced. Good food, but the price-to-portion ratio could be better.”

“First time here, totally impressed, good food locally sourced, fair prices, and great service. Definitely coming back and recommending”

“I’ve waited sooooo long for Birria to come to Helena, and finally 3Z brought it! 🔥 Of course there’s other places but it’s not quite like this trucks got to offer!!”

“Got an iced americano with honey and it is very yummy! :) Just what I was looking for at the moment. The barista was super friendly and really working to get thru orders as fast as possible. Two drinks, a latte and americano came out to $10, which is a great price. Would definitely stop by again.”

“Best ice cream we've had in several states!!”

“Haggard, the bartender was amazing! The BEST bartender we’ve ever had. He delayed his smoke breaks to take our group photo and also to take our second drink order. He’s very responsible and checked every single one of our IDs. The regulars, that’s a different story by he assured us they were of age. 100% recommend, we’ll definitely be back.”

“I love this little bread store. Can always find something I want! Prices on some items are not much better than at the grocery store. I always check the sake wall for things to try.”

“One of the best pizzas I have had in a long time. The garlic Knots also delicious. The staff was very friendly.”

“Went to the ranch at Helena mt Was completely amazed how good the food was there. The staff is amazing friendly and professional. Kept food fresh and the store clean. Would recommend it to anyone. Don”

“Not sure what you want for take out

Vegetarian options: Not sure what you want.

Dietary restrictions: Not sure what you want

Parking: Not sure what you want”

“Good cheap food. Great staff. The chicken ceasar salad is delicious and good size for $4. The hot dog's are just like you get at the ball park, and comes with a drink for only $1.50. The pizza is really good and they have 3 options. Pepperoni, all meat, and combination. Would recommend to anyone wanting a quick cheap meal.”

“Always very kind and fast service! If I can make one suggestion (and I understand you may not be allowed to do this) please put a sign up saying the tip jar is behind the counter! Your employees are missing out on tips when people don’t know it’s behind the counter and you all deserve to be tipped!”

“Awesome! What a great surprise! I had the tacos because that was the special. One pork, one beef, one tongue! Next time it’s all tongue for me!
Everything was fresh and delicious. Clean and tidy space! Super friendly and welcoming peeps, too.
Loved it!
Now, they need to move to Great Falls!”

“First time in Helena, and I had an awesome time walking around the beautiful old town area surrounding this excellent bar. Very interesting and palpable history. On my way walking back to my hotel I noticed a large police presence, and was informed that there was an active shooter situation and that I should seek shelter inside. Luckily, I was next to The Gold and Western Bar, so I knocked and eventually won my way inside to safety.

Sara, the bartender, was holding down the situation impeccably. I was informed that beer was still available for sale, and that should the need arise we would evacuate into the historic basement, which had yet another safety feature of an alternative exit out onto the street.

I enjoyed good conversation with locals, I read the plaque on the wall that informed me the historical place of this bar in entertaining the First Special Services Force, AKA the Devil's Brigade of WW2, I phoned my wife to tell her I love her, and I imbibed in a delicious 2 Towns Cider from a cidery near where I live back in Oregon.

Eventually, we were told that it was safe to leave the bar, and I was given a ride to my hotel by a fellow patron who was absolutely lovely, and had been sober for many years, as verified by Sara.

Thank You to the Gold Bar and Western Bar, and specifically to Sara, for a safe haven with a lovely atmosphere and an experienced and excellent bartender!”

“Met friends for lunch at The Creperie for my 1st time. Amazing cook on the chicken pesto crepe. So good I ate it like a slice of pizza using my hands. The fresh ice tea was so refreshing and the vinaigrette with the included salad was delicious. Good, fast service and a great environment to gather by 2s, 4s and even more”

“Went to the ranch at Helena mt Was completely amazed how good the food was there. The staff is amazing friendly and professional. Kept food fresh and the store clean. Would recommend it to anyone. Don”

“the music, the music bingo, the darts and pool. all great. the food and staff.....amazing”

“They get my food out fast and have some really great people working for them!”

“Ate here for the Easter buffet several years. Plenty of good food and desserts. Our servers have always been extremely attentive. The only strange thing that happened this year is the host didn't take us to our table. In a crowded room, she barely looked up from her phone to point out our table then went straight back to her phone.”

“This place is quick and friendly. For awhile it was kind of hard to get to do to with construction 🚧 but that as ended for those who don't know. They have seating inside and It's Starbucks so you know the coffee is high quality. They have a small menu for those who want a snack a lighter breakfast/lunch. Parking can be a challenge at times. I think prices are competitive as I have visited other coffee shops around the State. So take a break and enjoy.”

“I enjoyed today my lunch at BluTaco!! #tacos #blutaco”

“We really like Last Chance but we noticed the price of Ceasars went up. This would be fine if they were improved and amped up a bit but the olives and asparagus were dry. It puts us off ordering them again. Food is always good though.”

“Very cool inside, outside looks deceiving. Many areas inside await you. Was there 10am on a rainy Friday and the older crowd was there busy socializing and gaming. It looks like the younger crowd enjoy it later as well. A gem. Food was great too. Great place to be.”

“I love this bar. Best karaoke in all of Montana. great dj and drinks.”

“Part of our order was forgotten, but we had the most amazing customer service when we went in to get it corrected. The worker apologized and had it made to order, plus threw in a free drink and treat, and was the kindest! Food is always great, will be back.”

“Very authentic and delicious!”

“I love 💘 Starbucks you guys rock 🎸 keep up with the great work 😊”

“Canada just doesn’t have amazing authentic Mexican food like the US!!!!! Server awesome and quick and made sure we were all happy, great service and prices, amazing food and huge portions! Worth the long drive all day lol. 🥰🥰🥰”

“We went to the newly opened north location. Service was incredible, everyone working there was kind and went out of their way to make sure we had a good experience. Their coffee is good, sandwiches are phenomenal and their bagels are really great. The space was clean and fresh I would definitely recommend!”

“Katrina, our waitress was on top of it! She did an Amazing Job. The food was delicious and we didn't wait very long to get our food. The price for our meal was reasonable for what we ordered 😁. Jade Garden did an Excellent Job!!!”

“We haven't been to an Applebee's in years. Wherever live, there isn't one. We're just passing through Helena and my brother always eats at one when he travels to the US, and always suggests, we go to one. He's a big fan. Our meal was good, but we are not spicy hot food eaters at all. What we had was pretty good and the service was very good. We'll go more times when we can, as I'd like to try more menu items.”

“the food and service was great!!! so glad my honey wanted to go there”

“Great staff, excellent management team and super fun welcoming atmosphere”

“Newly remodeled! Fresh delicious food and lots of options. Cholula chicken for the win!”

“The best patty melt I have ever eaten. My wife said the same about her BLT. the service was excellent with very friendly staff. The prices were very reasonable as well!”

“We haven't eaten there since the new owners! Mother's day we decided to give it a try with the new owners! it was amazing. They use of corn starch on several of the meats and gravies instead of wheat flour which I am allergic to. For the first time in a long time I was able to have true Chinese food. loved the Cocanut Shrimp and the egg foo young was fluffy and not over cooked! we are going back next time we are in Helena!”
