We have been stopping at the Avon Cafe on trips between Missoula and Helena for at least 40 years.- one of the last (and best) small town cafes in Montana. The staff are always super friendly and the portions are generous but we stop mainly for the small town feel. It can't last forever but we will be there for as long as it does. read more

We love this place! The first time we went, we were so excited for the homemade desserts including baklava! The service is outstanding, feels like you're in someone's home, just the nicest people. The chicken fried steak and biscuits and gravy to die for! I feel like they're overdue for a diners, drive ins and dives visit. Excellent! A must stop! read more

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. read more

Avon Family Cafe - Cinnamon roll of joy - Cafes Near Me - Avon, Montana

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. read more

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. read more

Never would I expect this little country cafe to offer this kind of quality food. Absolutely wonderful! 0f course, everything is homemade but the extra care is obvious and boy, does it affect the flavors. Biscuits and gravy are Blue Ribbons at the County Fair but the pies............... Best of Show!! Blueberry was the best on this planet. As good, Key Lime and Cherry. More to try in the future. An extra, the owner. She is the winner of everything. Proud military momma and 27 year business professional that has attracted knowledgeable Montana travelers and even a Governor or two. Next time in Helena, drive west, 30 minutes. Crazy good. Get some pie to go! read more

Traveling back to Illinois and this was a wonderful place for breakfast. Great service and food. We Oder the scrambled veggie has browns and plain veggie hash browns. Only down side was too much butter on the toast. Wish we could take you back to Illinois with us! read more

It's in the middle of a stretch of road without any options. However, even if I had options, I would pick Avon Cafe. Family owned and operated since the 1950's with great food (we were thrilled with our breakfasts) and friendly service. read more

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. read more

I had business in the area (believe it or not) and found myself here... They give massive portions; my biscuits and gravy had bigger than average biscuits and there was 3x the amount of gravy than what you'd find elsewhere, and the gentleman next to me had a MASSIVE pancake! The food quality itself was excellent, the prices were extremely reasonable, and Sue is great at making you feel as welcomed as a local... It's so good, I actually wish that it was practical for me to live here so that I can be a regular... But I'm in the tech industry and I don't think a town of 124 would need an IT guy, so I digress. read more

On the drive from Glacier home to Utah we stopped here for breakfast and we are so glad! The food was cooked to order and the service was good. It felt like eating at home. Best biscuits and gravy I have had in a long time (with homemade biscuits). We would definitely eat here again. read more

Really good food! Very Montana style with nice waitress and good selection of homemade food and deserts.

My son and I stopped at this cozy cafe on a Friday evening last July after a long drive from Oregon, and on the way to our motel in Elliston. It was all we were expecting after John had researched this place while I was driving. The cafe was very clean, the service was great and I only wish we could have eaten more of the delicious dinners, including wonderful pies! We were so glad we chose to take U.S. 12, rather than I 94 through Montana on our way to home to Minnesota. Beautiful scenery, less traffic and The Avon Family Cafe! Curt Eastman read more

Great homemade comfort food. We stop every time we travel Hwy 12. Personable, friendly staff what more could you ask for.

Five stars just for the service!! The server was so kind and friendly. The food is what you'd expect at a diner, and although the corned beef hash is a special order and not canned, I didn't find anything particularly different about it. Eggs were cooked beautifully, and the toast was slathered in butter spread (which I enjoy!) Good food, great service. Thanks! read more

If you ever find yourself near Avon, MT you need to stop at this quaint, little roadside restaurant. The staff makes you feel just like one of the locals. You can expect honest advice on what is good on the menu that day. Our server recommended the beef pasty, which is prime rib, carrots, potatoes, and spices in a crust with brown gravy on the side. Delicious! As other reviews noted, everything is homemade. There is a huge list of desserts including cakes, pies, and milkshakes. Even though I was stuffed after the huge meal I would have tried the seasonal strawberry-rhubarb pie had they not been sold out. Apparently this is a favorite the locals buy by the whole pie rather than slice. The rhubarbs are grown by the same lady who waited on us. I suspect these folks were doing farm-to-table before it was a buzz phrase. My husband and I agreed this was the culinary highlight of our two week vacation to Montana. read more

This has been a favorite spot for lunch or breakfast for decades. We schedule trips around stops at this iconic family restaurant. Our daughter always orders the pancakes and I think their BLT is the best around. They have daily specials like meatloaf Monday and taco Tuesday. The service is always cheerful and welcoming. read more

We stopped in nearby garrison for a few weeks and enjoyed several meals from Avon. The food was good and portions were large, but the Star was dessert. The cinnamon rolls were the best I have ever tasted. Ever. We got all our food to-go because of Covid, but had no issue calling in our orders. Highly recommend stopping in on your travels through beautiful Montana! read more

We had a great lunch today! The "Hawaiian Special" sandwich had a generous slice of ham, a fresh slice of grilled pineapple, and nicely melted white cheddar cheese on ciabatta bread.

I would recommend this stop for anyone traveling within 50 miles of this little town! Great place!t read more

I have eaten here twice before and it has been decent. Our burgers were like cow patties! Not the beef kind. French frys were soggy as could be even though we asked for well done or crispy. The dinner menu is way overpriced. Like I said have ate here twice before for breakfast and the food and prices were good for those times. Don't think I'm going back. Its strange because I always see the place is busy? Must have been a real bad day or cook? read more

What a gem of a place in Avon! The food was great and the staff was extremely friendly and accommodating to our oversized group. Food tasted fresh and homemade. The fries are definitely homemade and not the store bought pre-fried frozen kind. read more
