It’s no secret that we love a good steak here in Montana — and we also happen to appreciate our local history. So when Billings’ long-standing local eatery, The Rex, closed after more than a century, many a Montanan was saddened by the news. But after sitting vacant for two years, a local family breathed new life into the new space. And these days, Buffalo Block Steakhouse is a popular place.
The hotel, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, had quite a backstory and was a beloved local icon. When it closed for good a few years ago, a lot of people were upset.
But the sale failed to go through, and the building sat vacant for two years before the Larson family decided to open a new eatery there.
