The Montana Restaurant With German Roots With A Building That Dates Back To 1863
Virginia City is amazing for approximately 500 reasons. However, it’s not normally a place one would travel for German food. But Montana’s liveliest ghost town is exactly where you’ll find The Road Agents’ Roost, a family-owned eatery that happens to serve German dishes alongside its burgers and fries. And while the restaurant is fairly new, the building’s history goes back much, much farther.

The furniture store was built in 1863, the same year the township was formed. The building also served as several saloons over the years, and in 1918, it was the home of the local Women's Club Library.

The owners learned to cook from family members who are of German descent.
