“Love the atmosphere (outside) and the service was great. The pork and polenta dish was delicous. Pork was crispy and not dry. The polenta could stand on it's own. The salmon dish was delicous. The risotto was a little broken but that might of been because it was raining into the bowl lol. The pesto linguine with bay scallops was disappointing. It lacked depth of flavor and needed way more sauce. It was like a whisper of pesto. Scallops were good quality though.”
Brasseries • $$$
“I had never visited Mizzoula and sort of stumbled on to this restaurant. It is absolutely first class. Food is exceptional, servers are very professional, the dinning area is very pleasant, and prices are entirely reasonable. I live in Naples Fl which has many good restaurants. Port Rouge is every bit as good as the best of those. If you find yourself in Mizzoula, try it. You will not be disappointed.”
Seafood • $$
“Absolutely amazing service. Jennifer was our waitress and is one of the best waitresses we’ve ever had. Very warm and tentative, thinking ahead about our needs before even saying it. Absolutely recommend her and Kampfire!”

Laurie and Peyton were wonderful, ensuring that we felt at home and among friends, as always at the The Keep. Our dinner items were, as usual, properly prepared, nicely plated, and delicious. We will continue to be "frequent flyers" at this local treasure.”

Burgers • $
“I love the burgers from Frugals especially the Hawaiian. However, the customer service I had from Johnathan S on Brooks was below satisfactory. I could not hear him on the speaker from the traffic. So I pulled up to the window to confirm my order. he was rude when I asked him to confirm it. then when I went to pull away he rolled his eyes at me. very unprofessional. My order was also not labeled correctly and not made correctly either. I will not be returning to that location.”
Food Trucks • $
“10/10. We had asada and birra tacos, beans and rice. I wouldn't have thought my favorite tacos (and I'm from South Texas) would come from a food truck in Missoula Montana, but it seems they do. Beans and Rice were as good as the tacos. Outstanding!!”

Bistros • $$
“We couldn’t have been happier with the catering for our son’s rehearsal dinner and welcome party over Memorial Day weekend. The Korean BBQ menu was a huge hit and offered something for everyone, spanning a wide range of tastes and generations.
Walker was incredibly flexible in helping us select the perfect menu and was exceptionally easy to work with, even while we were coordinating everything from another state. The food was outstanding—the mashed potatoes were absolutely delicious, the charcuterie spread was both beautiful and incredibly tasty, and we received numerous compliments about how perfectly the beef was cooked.
Everything was displayed beautifully, and the entire experience—from delivery and setup to service and cleanup—was seamless. The staff was lovely, professional, and attentive throughout the event.
We received so many compliments from our guests and are grateful for the role Walker and his team played in making the celebration so special. We would highly recommend them for any event!”

“The ice cream is phenomenal!!! The original creations and the classic ice creams are so good that I have a hard time deciding what to get!! I love going there. Today was extra special… there was only one employee mani g the store when normally there are three. My friend and I thought we would have to wait quite some time for our ice cream. Anna, the only employee there, was incredible!!! Despite being the only one there, she ROCKED IT LIKE A PRO!! She services everyone quickly, positively, professionally, and gave all of us a great experience!!! She deserves a raise or bonus!!!”

I am celiac and was hesitant to order any food but the owner said he was celiac and went the extra mile to prepare a gluten free breakfast scramble! It was amazing! So good we went back the next morning and would have gone the 3rd day but they are closed on Sundays.”

Coffee • $
“Never been there, but I just tried their instant organic coffee!!! I bought it at a local store in Oregon. Wow!!!! I mean how did they get instant so smooth? I bought this box of packets months ago and was hesitant to try it because I thought it would be like all the others. You know? Where you tolerate them on a trip because you can’t get organic everywhere. But no!!! I’m going to their website right now to order packets for travel and home and just because they make life simpler with no guilt! ❤️”

“I’m a long fan of la petit outer, but today I had a different experience. One (1) of the wait staff was extremely rude without a given reason to be. She was unpleasant, patronizing and snobbish! My friend and I, both older women, stopped at your “ new” location to top off our pleasant walk along the river, with a yummy coffee and treat. But encountered, not once but twice, a very unpleasant wait staff that killed the vibe. She was very rude, to the point we really wondered if we would come back. She was short in stature and wore a tube top with Bib overalls, not that that matters, (other than to bring her to your attention) but her attitude was horrendous and condescending! SHE NEEDS TRAINING IN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND HUMAN DECENCY, OR SHE WAS JUST HAVING A BAD MORNING and couldn’t control her attitude!!!”

“I can see why I don’t like any to eat out at fast food places. This is the most unfriendly atmosphere. Staff could care less if you place an order. They are more interested in visiting amongst themselves about events and people. Slow night yet register was closed forcing use of the kiosk. From out of town just passing through but I won’t be stopping by this location anytime soon.”

It is such a reliable spot for a quick and delicious bite, and the staff is always quick and friendly, even when they get really busy.”

“First time got it togo
Brisket smoked wings and rib ends
Have had bbq before from Oregon have traveled to Texas and had it a few places down their
And this place is pretty great smoked wings are small but the meat is great! And flavors on the wings great
The brisket 10 out of 10 and your chance of sauces to dip in make even better
The rib ends where tuff but not tough in a bad way witch makes it hard to explain but they where great as well
Definitely recommend 👌”

“I initially wrote a review about my experience last Saturday and my stars were not great. However, my interaction with the owner makes an even more powerful statement and he managed to turn an experience that left a bad taste in my mouth to a postive experience in just a short time. Justin cares about his business and his customers and you can definitely tell that even with a couple exchanges. I appreciated his willingness to hear the problems from me direct and also taking the feedback at an attempt to solve the issues that I experienced. That to me is worth more than one bad experience and for that, we will be back to try it again. Thank you Justin!
Prices are WAY off online versus at the restaurant. Wait time is crazy! I ordered 4 breakfast bagels, 1 of which was just egg and cheese. They were out of the pretzels..... It costed me $50 and the wait was over 40 minutes. They made an announcement stating that they deal with raw meat and that's why it was taking too long, but dang. Their jalapeno bagels, was a plain bagel with added jalapenos on top and greasy cheese. It was just disappointing all around.”
