    Grilled shrimp po'boy
    Rachel T.

    Stopped here after flying into Bozeman and it was great! I got a shrimp po' boy, friends got fried chicken po' boy and the creole chicken philly with shoestring fries. The staff was very friendly and helpful in our menu decision-making process and service was prompt. It's not exactly a traditional sit-down restaurant but all the food was great and the casual atmosphere of the restaurant doesn't deter from how enjoyable of an experience it was! We dined outside after ordering inside at the counter and filling our drinks at the self-serve soda fountain.

    Crawfish Etouffee
    Cynthia I.

    My sister found this spot for us. Unexpected find in Montana. Very delicious. Crawfish etoufee is buttery. Jambalaya is full of flavor. Because the food is so good make sure you reserve a lot of time if you plan to come here before your flight. The food took 30 mins on a Thursday at lunch. The woman taking your order will let you know wait time on the food before accepting payment. Could be longer on a weekend. It's a large restaurant, plenty of parking and seating: indoors, outdoors, at the bar. This place is great value. You get a lot of food and you will leave full. I wish we had one back home!

    Quaint and charming inside

    We tried to find local dishes that Montana is known for and a few local folks we talked to only mention huckleberry and chuckled there's no other dishes the state is known for so I opted to try Cajun, taking me back to my roots. The restaurant is close to Montana State University and it quaint and quite charming with an outdoor patio. The cashier was very friendly. The owner is from Abbeviille, Louisiana which is smack in the middle of Cajun Country. The menu seems legit and we ordered the fried banana pudding fir dessert along with the seafood gumbo and catfish platter. Food cane out and it looks good but I was disappointed that the catfish wasn't fried and it was grilled instead. It taste ok and I think would have taste better if it was fried instead. The seafood gumbo was their popular dish but I was underwhelmed by it. Honestly, the gumbo I make back home taste better. For Montana, the food is good enough but this place can not compete with the restaurants back in Louisiana. Service is friendly and prices are reasonable for small town Monta though. I would definitely go here over the other restaurants I saw on Yelp as those serve the same standard American fare.

    Etouffe
    Nanelle P.

    This place doesn't compare to the real New Orleans style food. Had the gumbo and it lacked flavor and was watery. Had some nice pieces of seafood but really not enough of anything. The etouffe tasted more buttery than having a nice rouge. Had a nice amount of crawfish though. Cute ambiance of a house and friendly staff....maybe they're more known for their sandwiches.

    Seafood Gumbo

    The food was amazing and the portions are huge. Worth every penny. Service was great as well!

    Lobster roll!
    Libby G.

    Fried pickles--AMAZING! The dipping sauce is delicious as well. Lobster roll--this is very heavy, but over all really tasty! Super fast and great comfort food :)

    Large portions
    Ali W.

    The portions here are MASSIVE the price reasonable and the service holding that southern hospitality! Couldn't recommend this place more if you want authentic southern gumbo and other delicious foods.

    Cajun at least as good as New Orleans. Dare you to order a large Jambalya and enjoy taking half home for awesome leftovers!

    We just left Storm Castle Café and had such a wonderful experience! Everything was absolutely…read moredelicious. I ordered Grandma's Enchiladas, and they were so cheesy, flavorful, and incredibly good. My son had the Monte Cristo, and wow--it was huge and honestly the best I've ever tasted! The kids ordered the French toast and absolutely loved it. Every single dish was packed with flavor, and you could really tell everything was made with care. The restaurant itself is so cute and has such a warm, welcoming atmosphere. On top of the amazing food, the staff was incredibly kind. Our server was the sweetest girl--so friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome. We had a fantastic meal from start to finish and will definitely be back. Highly recommend Storm Castle Café if you're looking for amazing food, generous portions, and outstanding service!

    Love me some Storm Castle biscuits and gravy!! I've been here 4x's now and only had "Big John's…read moreBiscuits and Lotion" -- it's soooo good'. I've tried scrambled and over easy eggs, however that's the only change up. I did get the full order the first visit, been getting the half since... it's a lot to pack away!! My wife has gotten different plates each time and they've all been great, the most recent was today with their "GOAT" French Toast-- it was good -- great crust with lots of sweet flavors going on 4 half slices of think cut French bread. Service is spot on -- friendly staff who are always hustling!! Location and environment work for me -- love the down home vibe inside and tables are spread out well. Tips -- it's usually crowded and you want to come in at the top of the hour. It's usually packed from the jump and most folks will be in their seats 50-60 minutes. If you come after 10am on the weekend, expect a wait time of 30-40 minutes.

By the time we got to the register it had been a good 15mins, the service was superb. We got an iced latte, and two hot lattes to-go. The guy at the register I think he said his name was Tim, was really nice. We also got their pb&j kolache and cheese & sausage kolache, they were not good, in my opinion. My quad iced latte was amazing! I was definitively awake all day long! Now the triple shot lattes were really milky, not so good. The place is unique and it has its own vibe, just seems a bit dirty. Would stop by again, just kind of weird vibe.

    Stopped there on 7-10-2026 from a recommendation from the hotel that we spent the night at before…read morewe flew out the next day, what a mistake. Walked into the place and they sat us down into a freezing room. The waitress told us that it would get warmer as the crowd shows up. We told them that we were freezing and they still did not offer to move us. Fortunately we were going to miss the crowd since we weren't going to stay there for 4-5 hours for them to show up to exhale enough carbon dioxide to warm the room up. So my wife orders the salmon dish and it came with two sides, she couldn't chose the sides, the dish had broccoli and salad. I order the filet mignon, baked potato and salad and specifically inform the waitress that I want my steak to be cooked "medium". Not "medium rare or medium well done", because the cooks always get it wrong depending on the thickness of the steak if they have a mediocre chef. Well she brings the salads out, can't mess up the salads, right? Salads look mediocre at best, small, nothing to brag about. Still freezing our asses off in the room. The meals are arriving, yeah... My wife's salmon plate was on fire as she bringing it out. The wooden platter that the fish was placed on was on fire which was burning/charr-broiling (crispy) the end of the salmon, the waitress put the fire out as she sat it down on the table, I shit you not!!! She sat my steak and bake potato down. The potato is a nice sized one and cooling off due to the room being so cold and it's got butter on it and the butter is not even melting, so I'm like okay. The waitress (bless her heart) asked me to cut into my steak to verify that it's cooked to my standard before she walks away and asked me if I wanted anything else, why yes I do, I want some A-1 steak sauce like I asked for before. I cut the steak open and it's rare to medium rare. Take it back and get it right. At this point if the A-1 sauce had been there with everything else going on, I would have eaten the steak, took my losses and left and gave her a poor tip. Bam, she comes back with plate which is splattering grease on me (I have a white pullover shirt on) and the table with one of those little ketchup tubs half-way full of some type of steak sauce. You know the type that you pump into the little cups where you get the flatware from and tells me it's @ 350 degrees or some shit like that. At this point, I'm done. I don't care if blood is pouring out of the piece of meat, a little bit of steak sauce, a frozen baked potato, it's going down. Nothing like having a filet that's burnt crispy on the ends, good crispy burnt crunchy tasting and getting to a medium pink middle, what a transition. I used to grill like that. My wife did love her salmon, she didn't eat the broccoli, it would have been nice if she had a choice on her side. The waitress asked if we wanted desert, I just ignored her after that. Got my check, poor tip and left. I think that the salad or meal gave me diarrhea in the evening at the hotel. I had indigestion and diarrhea all night long and the next morning. I had to go over to a local store and buy some stop the flow pills just so that we could fly out of town that day. The funny thing is that Rib & Chop House sent a survey link to fill out and when I went to fill it out, that's why I'm doing this one, I started out with a poor rating. Then they send you a verification code to start it, the code wouldn't work, resend, it wouldn't work. I was really done then.
