We tried to go to another restaurant for dinner, but because it was 8:30pm, a lot of restaurants in…read morebutte were closing. Thankfully, Bonanza Freeze is open late! There were quite a few people in line and the parking lot was full. We found out you can order online, but we were in line already and just stuck it out. They have a very large menu and I kind of wish it was more consolidated and easier to read, but I guess you can't really go wrong with burgers and shakes from here. I ordered the fried mushrooms, a cheeseburger and a cherry shake. Everything was delicious. It's fast food, so I wasn't expecting much. The burger isn't like the best burger I ever had, but it's like $5 and decent. The cherry shake was perfection. And the mushrooms were salty, crisp and hot. Good food and cheap prices. There are a few tables outside but we took our food back home to eat.

The biscuits and other pastries are also very good. HOWEVER - I have had to stop drinking their coffee and switch to tea. Don't get me wrong, I love strong dark roast coffee. We drink Peet's French Roast at home. BUT - GHB's coffee is bitter and sour. I wonder if they clean the brewing pots regularly? And we are always the first customers of the morning. Please rethink it, GHB.

My husband ordered the Bronco burger with seasoned fries. Both types of fries were good. The burgers had the taste and texture of those that are frozen in a box from a bulk supply store and over cooked! My burger had a hair on it, so that promptly ended my meal. We also ordered the cold forged mochas....waited at least 20 minutes only to be served bland caramel blends instead. Save your money AND YOUR TIME and go to one of the other coffee shops in town.

I've had Smelter City Brewing on my "to try " list for a hot minute. Anaconda, Montana apparently…read morehas this name associated with it which I'm sure has nothing to do with the single, tall smoke stack in town that is now a tourist attraction. While I didn't go to the smoke stack... that is for another time when Steve and I can sight see together I did make a stop at the brewery as I didn't feel that it was too terribly far off of the Interstate. The brewery is nestled in downtown and the set up is pretty cool. There is a nice, spacious area inside the brewery but on nice days they do have outdoor seating on a patio. It was nice and warm on the day I paid a visit here so I took advantage of the outdoor option. The beer choice in my mind I also desired to have that would go along with the warmer weather would be a lighter beer. What fit the bill just fine was getting the Cool Hand Rice Lager. This was a nice, crisp beer that was just what I was looking for. A little bit biscuity and some hoppy bitterness going on that reflected this type of lager nicely. It was very refreshing to sit down to as my journey to Butte and the main event in Bozeman would mean hotter weather as that part of the trip unfolded.

While driving on Montana Highway 43, I saw a fire engine with a wooden makeshift hut with a…read moresmokestack. Seeing this creative masterpiece, my curiosity got the best of me to stop by and see what it was all about. Thats when I discovered that it was a food truck! Naturally, I wanted to try the pizza coming out of this rig. Plus I wanted to help the local businesses. I asked for a menu to find out that there wasn't one. The owner, Donnie Speer (he introduced himself to me), who was very personable, then told me that he can make any pizza I want upon my request. He did suggest I try the "Montana Hippie" which has a bunch of veggies and pepperoni. I ordered that plus a "Meat Lovers" pizza. Let me tell you here that his prices are very reasonable! In Colorado, where I'm from, would've had to pay nearly twice for such a pizza! Wow! I was blown away by the wood-fired pizza that Donnie and team were cranking out of this pizza fire engine! They had generous toppings and cheese! I can tell you that hands-down this food truck has the BEST pizza I've eaten so far in Montana! Having lived in NYC for many years and frequenting the best pizza parlors in Chicago as well, this guy and his food truck can definitely rub shoulders with pizza in NYC and Chicago! You got to give this place a try! You just have to hunt-down where he might be on a given day. For that purpose, I've listed below his contact information. If you go on Facebook and search 'Donnie Speer', you'll be able to fine where his food truck will be. The Big Hole Pizza Company Donnie Speer (406) 491-3725
