All of the reviews are true in that you will be waiting for an hour or more to be served and even then you still might not get your food! lol. We sat at a table for an hour only to be told they were out of bacon and were switching over from breakfast to lunch, but an hour prior to this we were told we can’t order breakfast. Wasn’t a big deal and we went ahead and ordered lunch but there was still no lunch being cooked an hour later. Seems there’s a serious breakdown of communication and organization but seems like they don’t care either. Wish we would’ve read the reviews beforehand and went somewhere else.

In town for an elk hunt and stopped in for breakfast. Exceptionally good, food and service. Smothered biscuits and gravy was awesome.

Average food for a decent price. Normally I wouldn't even review a standard diner except for the encounter at end of our meal. When the server, who was very pleasant, asked how everything was, I answered truthfully without attitude. Both my wife and I agreed the sausage gravy was lukewarm, even cool in parts. The server said she would talk to the kitchen.
Unexpectedly, as we were about to leave, one of the cooks showed up to the table with a digital thermometer and confrontational posture. She temped a new small cup of streaming gravy and showed the temp to me without even much of an explanation. Slightly taken aback, since the temp of this new gravy had nothing to do with our experience of the gravy we ate several minutes before, I questioned whether they temped all their gravy, or whether ours sat too long, because I really didn't expect that response. I wasn't expecting an apology or anything free; I've worked in kitchens, and just wanted them to know. But I certainly wasn't expecting to be gaslit about our experience, as if we couldn't know cool gravy when we eat it just because a different cup of gravy was apparently hotter at the precise moment it was temped on front of us. Silly response.
On a better note, again, the server was pleasant, the food came quick, and my son's pancake was nice and fluffy.

Wonderful food, service, and atmosphere. Special breakfast today was chicken fried steak. My husband said it was the best he has ever had. Breakfast sandwich was top notch with your choice of cheese. I had it on Montana wheat bread with Swiss. The owner is sweet and very attentive. Don't miss eating here in the heart of Montana. Gravy is homemade sausage!

My friend and I stopped in after Mass to have breakfast. We went to the counter to check because it was very busy. We were told to wait by the entrance and we would have the next available table. We watched a family of 5 come in and they did the same thing. We watched as a table became available with three chairs. We started to go to the table and were told that we couldn't sit there because it was for the family of 5. The patriarch of the family was upset because he knew we were there before him. The two waitresses argued about who should be seated first. The waitress that told us to wait made sure we got the table. The table behind us opened up and the one who told us we couldn't sit there put them there but loudly proclaimed that the young boy would have to sit at the end because someone sitting at the end would interfere with the traffic flow of the restaurant. Apparently it was ok that the prior table occupants had an adult sitting at the end. I didn't catch what happened but while we were close to walking out due to the way we were treated by the older waitress, the family had enough and walked out without ordering. We watched two other groups of people walk out. The older waitress made sparky comments about other customers. Our waitress was very kind and attentive. The food was amazing. If I had to do it again. I would've ordered take out and take it home to avoid the drama.

We know the owners and went to the 406 Cafe in Lewistown, MT. This cafe is updated, organized and super clean. We love going to these downtown Mom & Pop shops because you get better food at a reasonable price! Their food is all fresh with great tasting home made recipes. I had outstanding biscuits and sausage gravy made from scratch. My wife is a french toast aficionado and had the best french toast she's ever tasted. Great place, awesome home cooked food, super clean and inviting. And the fresh made cinnamon rolls are the best! Thanks Chris and Letta!

Amazing burgers! My family and I are traveling through and decided to stop here for lunch. Originally my kiddos order was wrong but the staff and cook quickly corrected it and fixed the issue with no problem. The cook even came out and asked if everything was ok! Amazing service and amazing food. This town is lucky to have this wonderful restaurant.

I was so impressed I had to go back. lunch this time on the way back from vacation in Glacier National Park. I ordered tbe 406 burger ?. and the Man Dog They were amazing! It was a pleasure to be waited on by Alesha for the second time. She made me feel right at home with a positive attitude and pleasent conversation. Her customer service is outstanding! Whatever you're paying her it's not enough! I manage a Convenience store with 8 employees . So I know a little something about customer service.
She's the Best. You lucky to have her representing your business.. Keep up the great work!
Wish you guys were closer than 270 miles 1 way. Hahah I appreciated great Customer service and food worth paying for.
Cheers

[I apologize for my initial review. I inadvertently mistook your establishment for another we visited this week.]
Breakfast was great! We could tell they were really busy, and it was fun listening in on the new employee getting trained. We had the French toast, and it was awesome! I strongly recommend the 406 Cafe if you are traveling through the area.
