“We have been on the road touring America since Thanksgiving in our little teardrop camper. We are appreciative that Cracker Barrel's allow us to rest our heads as we move on. It's easy to comp them back with getting a great meal. Today we are in Missoula, MT and had the grilled bacon chicken meals. Carmen E (our server) was amazing. She was friendly and engaging and on top of her game. We love it when everything comes together! Wish they were all like her. BobnLori“

Today we stopped in on our cross country trip and were happy to find friendly and helpful staff, great vegetarian burritos, and a nice owner who spoke with us. We will definitely be back on our next trip. Great fresh salsa with the burritos too. Though we miss the original Catalyst restaurant, the food at Catalyst2go is great too.“

“The Montana Club is our favorite restaurant to go for special occasions and dinner after ballet class/recitals. They’re kid friendly, have a great atmosphere in the bar (also allows kiddos for dinner in the bar area), and wonderful about making accommodations. The atrium is another fun spot to sit. The main dining room has plenty of booths and tables that can be joined for groups. Their menu offers a variety of options. Pasta’s, salads, steaks, and seafood all turn out amazing. Their lobster fest is fun. It’s definitely worth the wait and money to attend lobster fest and get fresh lobster. They have the best ranch in town, too.“

“We walked in on a Saturday at 12:30p and were seated outside (our choice) right away. Our server was attentive, efficient, and friendly. She was working really hard as she had the whole back porch. We ordered the Pork Carnitas Quesadilla, which was good except the pork was dry, and the Brie Chicken Sandwich. It was a very substantial sandwich. The chicken was juicy and there was a very large piece of brie. For us, it was too brie forward, but if you like brie, this would be a great order. The battered fries are on the larger size but very good. The menu is large and this place comes highly recommended with the folks that work in Missoula.“
