    I've spent a decent portion of my life in Billings and somehow Bernie's Diner never made it on my radar. Unfortunately, this morning I wasn't hungry, but my family was. Upon walking into Bernie's Diner, it felt like we were walking back into the sixties. I asked various relatives about this place, and everyone knew about it and highly recommended it. Why didn't they tell me about it? My family really seemed to enjoy their breakfast. Though what they ordered was basic diner food, I'm a fan of diner food. I did have a chance to taste everything, and it tasted great! I loved the atmosphere. The service here was great! We'll certainly be back, and I'll make sure I'm hungry next time. I would love to try their Chicken Fried Steak or Elk Steak. Stay tuned for an updated review after I've eaten at Bernie's Diner.

    When visiting my family in Billings, we like to eat at Bernie's Diner. It's the perfect spot for brunch on Sundays. They have large portions, tasty food, good prices, large mugs of coffee & great service. I enjoy their eggs Benedicts and my husband likes their skillets. I need to do an intense workout before my next visit so I can try the Vacation Breakfast, which the menu describes "fishy double chocolate cake served with a frosting-dipped chocolate Wilcoxon's Creamery milkshake. I'm looking forward to my next visit.

    I ordered eggs Benedict. terrible idea. will make you sick.the hollandaise spice was disgusting. just look at the picture. By far terrible food and service. I had to ask for coffee while other customers were serving with out asking? Hum.... Basica I was ignored even while trying to pay my bill :(((

    Wonderful coffee !

    Great find! We stopped here after hauling a trailer x country having to wait around for 3 days foe a part. I was hangry and road weary when I walked in. What a great way to start the day off . Great menu & loved the coffee cups! I wanted to steal one but wouldn't. Everything was delicious and staff was lovely. I really want one of those coffee cups!

    The tiniest microscopic little dish of fruit was THIRTEEN DOLLARS. I'm actually astonished that a tiny little tin of fruit was thirteen dollars. They didn't have sourdough toast at 6:30 am and this was my "over medium" eggs.

    I was a bit hesitant and had kept my expectations low before I came, given several discouraging reviews I read on the internet, but I'm happy to say I had a very pleasant experience. I went on a Tuesday morning for breakfast, which was excellent because it was so quiet. Finding parking was easy. The establishment is associated with The Northern Hotel, and their guests would have breakfast here, so I would expect a much larger crowd on the weekends. The ambiance was 10/10. Clean rows of round stools and the counter on the left and tables next to the window on the right. It gives a retro diner vibe but with a slightly modern and clean feel. I suppose because it was a slow morning, the service was also more relaxed than I expected. The menu is classic diner meals, some with a more Montanan twist. I contemplated between the elk skillet and the stuffed banana bread french toast. The banana bread french toast sounded so indulgent as it was filled with mascarpone mousse, dipped in creme brulee batter, and drizzled with huckleberry syrup. However, I'm not ready for a sugar spike to crash later when I'm about to catch a flight in 1.5 hours. (Next time, maybe!) Thus, I went with the elk skillet--breakfast potato, elk sausage, black bean, mushroom, queso fresco, and eggs. I also asked for sourdough toast on the site. Their jam is homemade, and the flavor changes every week. The dish was so fragrant, and the aroma hit my olfactory nerves the moment the skillet landed on the table. It was the perfect portion (for me); not too big, but it filled me past lunchtime. I suppose it was because it was so loaded with protein. It was my first time trying elk sausage. It's much leaner, thus chewier but lighter, than beef or pork. The spice gives an occasional fresh kick of heat. One disappointment was that I asked for poached eggs, but they were served over-easy and well done, but I don't feel like sending them back. Why ruin a good morning? The rest of my breakfast was enjoyable. I love the homemade jam. It was only very slightly sweet and more tart. I highly recommend having a toast and jam on the side with the skillet. It balances the flavor profile nicely. Although some things could have been better, I'm glad I tried anyway. If I come back to Billings, I would love to come back.

    Is it worth the wait??

    Food took over an hour and then it was cold. It was bad! I was so upset we waited that long for bad food. And the au jus was super salty.

It's not like your run of the mill Applebee's, it's more elevated. But, you can still dine in dressed to your comfort and bring the entire family along. The service is usually great. We've dined in on a few busy nights and have still had great service. I'd say one out of every five visits, we get a server who obviously doesn't want to be there and it shows. But thankfully, that's not the "norm". We've tried a handful of appetizers here and my personal favorites are the Jack Daniel's prime rib bites and the Mushroom Buttons. I love looking at whatever specials they're serving up. After a trip to Alaska, we came into The Montana Club and I was so excited to see the King Crab. It was an obvious choice. I could eat these every day. My husband is a simple man, give him a steak or burger and he's good to go. One of his top picks is the Cowboy Burger but he has also really enjoyed the ribeye and prime rib on other visits. Thankfully, when we're in town for work, we usually stay across the street so dining here is a no-brainer for us.

    Service is good. I asked where the steaks were from and they said Stockyard Farms…read morewhich is Australian . From restaurant supplier US Foods How sad is that?
