This is a small town cafe attached to a bar. I had fish n chips and my son had a Philly sandwich. The food was acceptable and the service was good. Smiths may be the only place in E Helena that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Pro Tip: Start dinner off with drinks on the bar side, so the food quality is less consequential later.

Ordered the beef enchilada special - and let me tell you, special isn't quite the word I'd use.

To start, the chili that came with it, was from a can and was on top of tater-tots. It was very salty and pretty bland.

Enchiladas: I'd ordered beef and my Grams had ordered pork. Topping the enchilada was a bit of ground beef with sparse sauce (or grease) of some sort. It appeared to be a giant burrito, measuring 11x4" - opening up this "special" marvel, it appeared to be more stew than enchilada. Chunks of leftover burger patty, ground beef and a couple mystery pieces of sirloin (maybe?) along with big chunks of carrots and other mysterious things.

It was like if I was in Romania and asked a roadside stew vendor to make me an enchilada out of their wagon.

The pork version was even more mysterious or "special" as it had a few pieces of what looked like pork, swimming inside a similar stew of ground beef, carrots and other bits. Zero Mexican flavor (no cumin, paprika, chili powder, I'm guessing).

Service was abysmal, but at least the person waiting on us was trying in their own way. 1 hour after people were eating, a sandwich was brought out to the last person in our party, who sat there waiting the entire time. We asked for things multiple times, drinks got empty.

Anyway, I digress - They do have casino machines here, so maybe the whole experience is meant to be a gamble?

While visiting here in Montana we stop by this nice little place to eat ,I have to admit it was pretty awesome, the waitress was attentive and down to earth kept my drink full which is one of my big pet peeves, I ordered the special because that's what I do which was a spicy jalapeno Smashburger that was cooked to perfection it was topped with some excellent cheese ,french fries or tater tots this place is definitely a place to stop, the cook knows how to prepare food excellent I ordered medium rare and that's how it came out ,I give this one five stars across the board and kudos to whoever decided to have the burger as a special it was excellent
