We’ve certainly got our share of unique restaurants here in Montana — just visit the Jersey Lilly or the 50,000 Silver Dollar Bar and you’ll see what we mean. But for a truly one-of-a-kind experience, check out Ekstrom’s Stage Station in Clinton.

This charming eatery was once a stagecoach stop. And while it’s a seasonal business, meaning they take winters off, we’re giving them a shout-out now to make sure every possible Montanan adds this experience to their 2019 calendars.

Ekstrom's Stage Station is located at 81 Rock Creek Rd. in the tiny town of Clinton.

The property is actually a collection of reconstructed western Montana homesteader cabins and frontier buildings moved log by log from their original location up and down the Clark Fork Valley.
The main building, which is the restaurant, is more than 150 years old.

Its original location was 15 miles east of Rock Creek, where it was used as a stage stop.
The building was originally the Birmingham Flats Station, but these days, it's used to cook some seriously scrumptious food.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served 7 days a week during their peak season, and the food is all fantastic.
