1. Juliano's Restaurant
$$$$ | |Award-winning Hawaiian-born chef Carl Kurokawa's menu changes monthly, but you can count on fresh fish, often flown in the day before from Hawaii. Other offerings might include proscuitto-wrapped chicken marsala, and London broil made with local beef. Inspired by Pacific and European flavors, yet distinctly American, Carl's cooking is some of the best in the state. The intimate dining areas' decor is impressive, with a pressed tin ceiling in one room and painted scenes of a grape-carrying Bacchus in another. Situated behind a hedge on a residential street, and thus not easily spotted, the building was formerly a stable for the turn-of-the-20th-century sandstone mansion next door. In warm weather patio dining is a popular option.
2912 7th Ave. N, Billings, Montana, 59101, USA406-248–6400Known For
- Patio with a lovely garden view
- Offering a true culinary experience
- Romantic atmosphere; great for date night

2. 3 Brother's Bistro
$$ | |Once an ice-cream parlor, today 3 Brother's Bistro, named for chef Greg Smith's three sons, is Hardin's finest dining establishment. That said, it's still a casual place that serves mostly pizza, barbecue, and beer. While it's hard to beat the house smoked pulled-pork sandwich, the salmon melt, paired with the Pigs Ass Porter brewed in Belt, Montana, comes close.
316 N. Center Ave., Hardin, Montana, 59034, USA406-545--5133Known For
- The smell of meat smoking
- The tri-tip cheesesteak
- A passionate chef who stops by your table to say hi

3. Central Feed Grilling Co.
$$$ | |Housed in the historic (1916) former Central Feed building, until recently this family-owned brewery was where farmers and ranchers came to buy grain and seed. Today it serves typical brewpub fare, but with a slightly elevated twist. That said, the beer brewed on-site has a ways to go before it's ready to win awards. Reservations are recommended as this is the most popular restaurant in town.
220 E. Main St., Lewistown, Montana, 59457, USA406-535--2337Known For
- Exotic (for Central Montana) appetizers like salmon ceviche and ahi tuna
- Grains of Montana brioche burger buns
- Great outdoor deck with views of Big Spring Creek

4. Custer Battlefield Trading Post and Cafe
$$ | |With its stock of T-shirts, inexpensive jewelry, Indian fry bread mix, and dream catchers, the trading post is touristy, but the small attached restaurant is quite good—as evidenced by the locals who regularly congregate here. Steak is the dish of choice, and there are no fewer than three ways to get it on a sandwich. The several variations of Indian tacos, featuring fry bread as big as a plate, are especially popular.
347 U.S. 212, Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument, Montana, 59022, USA406-638–2270Known For
- Homemade Ghirardelli brownies
- 100% buffalo burger

Dress is casual, although the cherrywood interior adds a feeling of sophistication.

7. Roadhouse Diner
$$ | |While its burgers have been deemed "the best" in Great Falls and even in Montana, this diner's claim to fame came when it won the Food Network's Guy's Grocery Games in 2017. Each burger is made with grass-fed, sprout-finished Montana beef cut and ground on-site, every few hours. Buns are baked fresh by Great Harvest Bread, another Great Falls institution. There are even a few vegetarian options. But the best is the beef burger. If you don't want any pink in it, make sure to order "no pink."
613 15th St. N, Great Falls, Montana, 59401, USA406-788--8839Known For
- "Hell Fries" (topped with spicy cheese sauce, the "hottest south of Heaven")

- No substitutions
