Grab a beer and wait for some serious fried chicken in the basement. If your chicken doesn't go down the chicken elevator, you haven't had good fried chicken.

Some of best chicken you can get here in Montana, dont go in expecting it to be fast because these birds are made with love like your mama is making it, expect a 25 wait minimum. But it is so worth every minute.

I have had the pleasure of eating Double Front chicken since the 70's. It was my Grandma's favorite place. I no longer live in Missoula,but every time I come home the first meal I have is here. Best chicken ever.

If youāre in Missoula and you donāt stop at Double Front CafĆ© & Bar, youāre missing out on one of the most memorable meals ā and experiences ā the town has to offer.
From the moment we arrived, Jason, the owner, made us feel like VIP guests. He didnāt just serve us lunch; he gave us a warm, insiderās tour of the town itself, sharing local history, hidden gems, and even taking us to his local gun club for a unique taste of Montana culture. His pride for Missoula is contagious, and his hospitality is second to none.
And then thereās the food. Let me put it plainly: this is chicken perfection. The fried chicken is crispy on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside, and packed with flavor in every bite. Itās the kind of meal that makes you pause mid-bite just to appreciate it. The sides are amazing, too. The portions are generous enough to satisfy even the hungriest traveler.
The cafĆ© itself has that comfortable, old-Montana charm, with a cozy atmosphere that makes you want to linger long after your plate is clean. Between the hearty food, the warm service, and the small-town character, Double Front CafĆ© & Bar is more than just a restaurant ā itās a piece of Missoulaās heart.
Final verdict: 5 stars isnāt enough. Jason and his team deliver not just incredible chicken, but an experience that feels personal, authentic, and unforgettable.

I tend to save 5 stars for very special places⦠here we are. They told me that this was the best take on classic fried chicken and some of the best ill ever taste, now me and food have some milage and there is no way this could of been the best fried chickenā¦. This is how it happened, I got in the car I smelled that food through that paper bag and it didnāt even survive the trip back to work. Two GIANT pieces of fried chicken and fries that were better than I expected. It was only a five minute drive to work. Let that sink in.
