These 12 Restaurants In Montana Are Extremely Underrated
Some of Montana’s more well-known restaurants tend to get most of the attention (we’re looking at you, Sir Scott’s Oasis).

These are a few of our unsung heroes, the places that don’t always get all the attention they deserve.

The Rustic Hut may be a dive bar, but they happen to serve some of the best stick-to-your-ribs bar food in the area. This isn’t the place to go on a fancy date night, and admittedly the service can be a bit slow―but your prime rib dinner, wrap with fries, or juicy burger will more than make up for it.
