    Their Grilled Prime Rib is about as good as it gets for a plate of beef. It is served after the weekend Prime Rib Special if there is any left over. Monday is your best bet to land this beauty (see note). We usually call ahead to make sure it is available. We have done this more than once and are always ecstatic with the result. It stays moist and pink in the center after grilling. Great job by the cook. I can always grill a good steak at home, but nothing like this wonderful piece of beef. The service here is always downhome friendly, laidback, and prompt. One of our favorite rustic, small town venues. NOTE: I toyed with the idea of recommending Tuesdays so you don't beat us to the last one, but my conscience, often called my wife, would not let me do it. As a compromise, please wait until 8 or 9 PM to come here Mondays for dinner.

    Food was good. Service was good too. Just a short drive from Helena. It's a bar / restaurant combo. Rustic, not fancy, no dress code.

    Wow! Does that say it all? Yes, in a good way. Rib eye was outstanding and perfectly cooked to medium rare. Mushrooms were fabulous as well. The crab legs were very meaty and worth it as well. This place is a hidden treasure here in Helena. Yes, I've got a chubby for this place

    That's some GOOD eatin'!

    Want to win me over when I'm upset? Want to know what just might cheer me up when I've had an awful day and we might have fought for the majority of it? Take me to a cool "divey" restaurant that serves a to die for steak with simple sides!! Mr. Hottie is one smart man! After a rough day, we went to Chubby's for dinner. The road to Chubby's is a beautiful drive through the mountains. After wondering if he was driving me to the country to dump my ass in a snowbank, we finally arrived at Chubby's. It's a small place that looks like a small honkytonk bar. We walked through the bar area, toward the back of the building where they seat people for dinner. We were greeted by a friendly waitress. She brought me a much needed Moose Drool and I was ready to place my order. I ordered the rib-eye steak rare with a baked potato. Before the steak, we were served a simple salad with lettuce, croutons, and I think our dressing choices were ranch and italian. I didn't pay much attention because I was waiting for my steak. My side of beef finally came to the table! Talk about a HUGE steak! The steak came with a side dish of corn that was swimming in butter. I cut into my steak and was initially worried that it might have been overcooked, but one more cut, and it was BEAUTIFUL. I took a bite and was a very happy girl! The meat was seasoned well and did not require any steak sauce. The potato was no frills and simple served with butter and sour cream, but it was good! The food at Chubby's is simple, no frills, meat and potatoes. I hope to return to Chubby's again to try their other carnivore pleasing offerings! It certainly boosted the entire mood for the day!

    Best place in Clancy. Try the pork chop sandwich. Prime rib on Friday nights, enough meat to kill your entire family.

    A good dive bar with good basic Montana food...no no Rainer on Tap. Great service but a bit noisy in the bar section.

Calamari was soggy and oily and the breading was mushy, indicating that the oil was not at the proper temperature for a good fry. We sent it back after trying to pretend it wasn't terrible. I ordered chicken parmesan and my wife got chicken fried steak. Her meal was ok. The gravy needed some flavor but the chicken fried steak was properly cooked. My chicken parm was mushy, and only had a few small shreds of cheese on it. The pasta was woefully over cooked and there wasn't much sauce on it. That was sent back as well. Both our meals were to come with soup but the server dropped that ball and had an inquisitive look on her face when I asked about it as we were paying our bill (she probably accidentally did us a favor). All in all, there is no need to visit this " restaurant" that seems to either take everything out of the bag in the freezer and microwave it, or have large batches of stuff and just warm things up as they are ordered. Nothing appeared to be made in house and quality assurance doesn't live here.

I ended up getting the three egg breakfast, with linked sausage, hash browns and a couple lemon ricotta pancakes. My friend got two eggs, the huckleberry French toast and pork linked sausage. First, let's start with the positive notes. The place was clean, there dining room was big with plenty of open tables, our server was super nice and we were seated right away, the food was good for the most part. My over medium eggs were perfectly done, my lemon ricotta pancakes were delicious but the entire experience was ruined when the server brought out the bottle of TABLE SYRUP instead of maple syrup! I realize this is a small business but I haven't eaten Mrs Butterworth syrup since I was like a child. Anyway, the pancakes were fluffy, delicious and perfectly done, the sausage however had a soft mildly off-putting texture and the hash browns seemed old and had no flavor. I would come here again but not for the hash browns or table syrup.

We all loved it and the queso and hot mustard were a great match. I had the wings, buffalo sauce, and it came with fries. Both were really good. So much food I only ate 4 wings and 1/2 the fries. GP still weighing heavy in my gullet! The Wife had the Classic Mac and Cheese - nice taste but Luke warm instead of hot. Should have sent back to warm up. Her choice. The Kid had the brisket sandwich and garlic parm fries. The sandwich was so big., she ate 1/2 and hardly touched her fries. The fries were delish, as I had to sample a couple for review purposes. The Friend had a Buffalo chicken salad and The Other Friend had enchiladas. Both enjoyed their meals and had leftovers as the servings are generous. Great Time. Great Food. Great Service. Go!
