Forsyth is a small town in Eastern Montana that sits in between Billings and Miles City. With a population of around 1,800, it’s safe to say it’s a sleepy little town — and that’s just the way they like it. But it’s these out-of-the-way places that tend to have the best mom and pop restaurants, and Forsyth is no exception. That’s where you’ll find the beloved Joseph Cafe.

The Joseph sits on North 9th Avenue -- and while the building is small, it's impossible to miss.

The restaurant happens to be located next to the most vibrant mural in town.
The town of Forsyth is quaint, and so is this cafe. Stepping inside almost feels like coming home, even if it's your first time here.

The Joseph serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with the daily specials written on the chalkboard.
