New Restaurants in Missoula

“Close your eyes and dream with me for a moment. It’s the first warm night of spring and you can feel the energy of life blossoming in the air. Missoula is buzzin’ and you’re ready to awake from your hibernation. You and your best friends decide to grab a beer down town and one turns to two, to three. The vibe is infectious as the whole town is joyous with anticipation for summer. After finishing off the last crisp PBR you look to your friends and exclaim, “A hunger grows inside of me, that only a greasy burger can tame!”. Your friends node their heads in agreement and you begin the process of deciding where to eat? When suddenly a Phoenix appears before you and screeches, “Go to Gary’s and fulfill the prophecy, eat the burger and transcend the hunger barrier!”. Quickly you rally your friends and rush to Gary’s knowing the fate of the world rest in your hands. Upon arrival a cool wave of tranquility washes over the friend group. Your greeted with the amorphous reflections of your peers shinning off the aluminum vessel that is the burger stand. Anticipation grows as the smells drift and then linger in your nostrils. Caramelized onions, charred meat, and a sweetness that can only come from a real shake. As you approach the window your consciousness behinds to leave your body and you’re realize you’re hovering over yourself watching as you order. “Two cheeseburgers please with sauce”. Little did you know this moment would change your life forever. Before you have a moment to think a perfectly crisp white bag sits before you on the counter with your hot burgers awaiting you inside. You take the bag and go and sit on the curb and reach inside. Out you pull the most perfectly created burger you’ve ever felt. A hot bun greets your fingers is soft and tacky later you would learn it’s potato bun made from the Butt cheeks of angels. You pull the burger from the bag to reveal the Master piece. Smushed together with hints of onions and cheese poking out from the sides, accompanied by bits of crispy burnt burger ends. In this moment your consciousness returns to your body as it to realizes it does not want to just observe this experience but feel and taste it. You open your mouth and bite down into the burger a slow doughy slide through the bun, to a moment of pressure as you break through the onions and then the burger. Meanwhile the cheese begins to melt in your mouth as the bites continue. All the wild the secret sauce a tangy and tart mix with hints of ketchup, pickles, and mayo cuts through to balance the entire mixture. Your sprit shakes with excitement as you realize you have just bitten into one of the best burgers life has to offer. Before you know it you’ve reached you last bite and a satisfaction you have never know radiates from your stomach. You have completed the prophecy. The world will continue on. Your life has forever changed. That is what it’s like to eat at Gary’s.“

“This Liquid Planet is just as good as the one on Arthur, but much more spacious! The food is excellent and the drip and cold brew coffee were delicious. This will be a place I will certainly visit more in the future, now that it is on Brooks. In particular, the country friend steak was great.“

“Stopped in for some appetizers and happy hour beers, and will definitely be back to try some more. The beer selection was impressive, the appetizers were amazing, and the service was absolutely incredible! Make sure you order some of the fried pickles!“

“Absolutely BLOWN AWAY!!! I met a friend for lunch and we started with the WannaWanna cocktails (which were fabulous). I ordered the Crab Benny with fingerling potatoes and she did the burger. When I tell you we looked like we were acting out the diner scene from When Harry Met Sally…..amazing!!! 10/10 will return until I’ve tried everything on the menu. The location, atmosphere, service, food were all phenomenal. Bravo! Missoulians, we are so lucky to have this place!“

“Thank you Sam for the wonderful service! The ribs were delicious and we have to say those rattlesnake bites were addicting. Everything we had was great. So kid friendly as well! Next time we will save room for dessert. Looking forward to that apple pie!“
