    Cherry pie ala mode & cinnamon roll
    Robert H.

    Wonderful, family run place. Ham steak & eggs with hash browns was great. Highlight was the house made cinnamon rolls (that had to weigh at least a pound) & the cherry pie ala mode.

    Cinnamon roll of joy

    The best service, food, menu, mood, people, cinnamon rolls you can get. I discovered the best fishing holes through the comradely of this restaurant, and the incredible baklava.

    Veggie scramble

    I'm a Montana native and have been visiting this restaurant since I was a kid. They consistently serve great food with good-sized portions for the price. During this visit I had the veggie scramble with sourdough toast which I enjoyed. I really like that they use real butter on the toast. I also tried some of the ham steak which I highly recommend. It's thick-cut, meaty, and smoky with a little bit of sweetness. Definitely worth a stop on if you are passing through Avon.

    A little out of the way place with incredible food.... Ham steak was the best the wife has had in 20 years. Eggs done perfectly, sausage that is to die for!!! Our server was quick and friendly!!

    Hamburger steak lunch

    We were visiting my sister in law in Helena, Montana and were spending our vacation out there as well. As our practice, we always support small town businesses and so we're we're looking at some places where we can have the hearty breakfast before heading out to do our hiking. We were initially looking at getting something from the Elliston but we didn't notice that we already passed the town up until we saw the speed limit went back up. So the next town was Avon. You have to keep your eyes peeled when looking for this small place, you won't see it until you passed through it. It's by the highway. We decided to try to place this place. At first glance, it looked nondescript and pretty ordinary but the tomato soup was so amazing and the service is just so awesome. My husband ordered a philly and I ordered hamburger steak instead. The gravy and the mashed potato are awesome. The portion is big that I was so full when we were done. The place is small but not stuffy. This place looks like it's patronized by local although there's also a lot of passing through motorist as well. This is a good place to stop to eat. It's better than big restaurants or cafe places. Love the place and will definitely go back here when we pass again this way. Ambience: 5 stars Service: 5 stars Cleanliness: 5 stars Food: 5 stars Serving portion vs price: pretty reasonable The next couple of days, we went back and I got myself pancakes with bacon and eggs. Best crispy bacon that I ever had. They managed to make it as crisp as I like though the bacon was thick cut. The service is warm and the other patrons are nice.

    One biscuit and gravy... a plate full of goodness.

    Every once in awhile, you run into a rendition of a favorite meal that immediately becomes the standard by which you will judge all past and future offerings. The Country Fried Steak ( chicken fried steak) here has set the bar for me. Its an 8 ounce, tenderized steak that is hand-breaded and grilled, not fried. Slathered in white gravy with a kiss of hot sauce, it had me in a blissful trance. This beauty is not related to, closely associated with, or even spoken of in the same sentence as the "food service" frozen chicken fried steak offerings you find on most breakfast menus. Why... because it takes time and effort to do one completely scratch. These gals do it, and do it right. Sue, our server and I assume, one of the owners, patiently explained the process when I complemented her on the dish. She glowed with pride. Montana warmth, service, and quality at it's best. 15 miles off I-90 on Rt. 12 and so worth the effort.

    My cousins live in Helena and told me that this was a great little a lot so I looked it up and…read moredecided to give it a whirl. I ended up circling the block because I couldn't quite figure out the drive thru entrance. Still not sure I did it right, but I made it to the window. There were three cars in front of me. I saw a lady go inside and come back out before one of the cars left, but I have no idea if she called ahead. There was a bit of a wait but I think that's because they take their time with each customer. When it was my turn I explained it was my first time and she grabbed all of the menus even the seasonal one and let me look at them. She said they also had some pastries and burritos. I ordered the bacon burrito, but I think I got sausage which was fine because it was delicious! I ordered two drinks because I couldn't decide. I loved the caramel apple chai! The maple cardamom latte was good but not my favorite, but that's on me. The presentation was great. My pup even got a little pup cup. I liked the inspirational handwritten note on the bag. It was a nice touch. I've tried to do that for my customers too. Kindness matters. This placed definitely hits the spot and I would recommend supporting them just on friendly service alone but the drinks and food make it extra cool. I had read in another review about a free pastry, but that didn't happen. I think that is when they have extra perhaps or special cases. As a baker I get it, it's expensive to give product away for free and is certainly not expected.

    So, let's start off with the service. Amazing! The owner is so personable and kind. I'm a celiac…read moreand I had 2 different choices to pick from for sweets. The first was their giant GF cookie...it tasted amazing and left me wanting more. I also bought their strawberry GF crumble. I just had one bite, but just from that I knew I didn't want to share it with my husband. I had an English Breakfast Tea and it was great as well. My husband had the maple bar and a cup of coffee. He enjoyed both of them too. I just have to say finding excellent GF products is hard. To find them handmade in the cutest little shop was a dream. Let's hear it for the entrepreneurs out there that give that extra effort in making products we celiacs can eat and have something wonderful to indulge in.
