What once was the Copperline Smashburger has transformed into a new venture from the great mind of Chef Chris, Copper Dog. It seems like a modest, local food trailer but the food coming out of here is a must. A choice of 8 incredibly flavored options plus their always decadent milkshakes, fries added under the hot dog, sides, and 12 additional topping options. This food as the kids say today slaps. As former Angelinos, it tastes like the real deal. For those familiar with a LA hot dog, you can get your fix here. Looking forward to trying all the other new flavors. The service is always great and whoever is working the window its always a lively exchange between ordering. We ordered two plain hot dogs for the kiddos, two Angelino dogs, and the only place I will buy a Huckleberry milkshake. read more

Copperline Hardware - The Angelino with some fries. - Fast Food Near Me - Helena, Montana

All the burgers are sooooo good, Fries aplenty, I haven't tried the other sandwiches yet. Food comes out fast, the only thing I don't like is the takeout packaging for food bc I usually eat there and hate throwing away so much stuff, especially Styrofoam. Everyone that works there is friendly read more

What a good little spot! Great smash burgers, the best strawberry milkshake I've had in a long time and the poutine fries were delish! The guy working the front desk (I should have gotten his name) he had a shaved head and a lip piercing was truly wonderful, he saw I was freezing and gave me a hand warmer! Faith in humanity restored! Such a sweetheart, will be back next time I'm in Helena! read more

One of Best burgers I've had and at a really good price plus the burgers were smash burgers. I can't believe it's taken me this long to try one. The best thing is it's wrapped in foil so it stays together because I got a double and there's lot to it. Fries were fresh cut and excellant too. It's a must try if your in the area read more

Holy Moly! This was probably one of the best burgers I've ever had. Spicy bacon... it was SO SOoooo good! The fries were pretty perfect, and the huckleberry shake was exactly right! I did try the fish sticks - I'd pass on those next time.... It the chicken strips were super tasty! High recommend! Service was great, super friendly dudes working - I got the food to go, but there were some nice picnic tables out front! Delicious! read more

3 stars because the burger wasn't bad. The guy that came from the back was very nice. The big guy standing at the cash register not helping me, not so much. They got my simple order wrong the first time. The Bison or Buffalo burger, I can't remember what they called it, not worth the $14 for a burger and no fries/drink. The burger itself wasn't bad tasting, it was lacking in the meat dept. though. The fries aren't very good, soggy and under cooked, I also didn't appreciate having to pay $3 for them separately. The "fresh" huckleberry shake that everyone in town so highly recommends.... Not fresh, it's a mix of some sort. And the sprinkles they put on it are gross. They gouged me for over $20, I sat alone in the dinning area, they had 1 or 2 customers come in while I was there. The dining area was clean. The place was well maintained. If the prices weren't so high, I would return. But more than $20 for a single meal from a burger joint doesn't make me feel like I had a good value. read more

Tried the Classic-double cheeseburger. Cooked just right and the burger is wrapped in foil which I like as those thin paper wraps fall apart. Poutine was very good but way too much for person. All washed down with their huckleberry shake. Simple interior and good service. Will come back. read more

This place is usually pretty good. But. Today fairly sure I got the wrong order and didn't find out until I was home, 40 minutes away. To say im pissed off is an understatement. First they forgot the sauce. I had to go back. Then I get home and I've got one burger that I ordered and the other is some blue cheese thing and I hate blue cheese. Not happy, at all. I always go to copperline instead of fast food. Wow. Now I feel like this was worse read more

Great food and great service and good prices five guy style fries ate at the one on 11th ave doesn't show up on yelp must be a new location

Man, oh man! Fantastic lunch option when you're on-the-go. The crew is great and the food is terrific.

4 1/2 out of 5. You order, pull around to the back, and wait till they bring out your order. We did. We had the Pork Chop Sandwiches and a Huckleberry Shake. The sandwiches reminded us of Sarah's Porkies, sadly now closed for years. These are the best Pork Chop offerings this side of the Freeway Tavern (Muzzie's) in Butte. I almost wept when Sarah's closed and have suffered with the poor Porkies offerings we have tried in Helena ever since. Not any more. The line of vehicles strongly attests to the quality of food here, and we will be back to try the burgers. read more

Have had a burger there, plus a porkie and a couple of their fish strips. All really good, very fresh and hot. And very good prices (a big porkie sandwich for $7). read more

Burgers and sandwiches are great, especially the fish sandwich. Only issues I have are waiting in my car for them to bring the order out and the loud banging of loose corrugated metal panels when the wind is blowing hard. read more

Place was fantastic. Burgers and fries were great. If this place was where I live it would be on my frequent go to list. 4 stars because 1 burger was missing its bacon and we were talked into only ordering 1 order of fries(which was enough for 2 people), were charged for 2 orders, but only received 1 order. I would still go back without hesitation and if I was sticking around town for another day I'd go back and get my order of fries I paid for. read more

They have the best porkie in Helena since Sarah's porkies closed. Double bacon cheeseburger is one of the better burgers in Helena. Just leave the ketchup or mustard of, they put way too much on there. The fries are ok, I ask for well done and make sure you ask for salt. A couple times they didn't salt the damn fries! They need a damn spicy burger option! Some jalapeños, habanero cheese, something! read more

Excellent burger and fries + fast and friendly service! Stopped here on the way through town; highly recommended! read more

Amazing service and burgers !!!! Nice quick delicious burger freshly cooked for ya. 10/10

Super good food. We got 3 different burgers, fries, poutine and milkshakes. All was delicious. A little expensive but totally worth it! Will be back read more

Really good burgers and fries at a great price. Easy parking, plenty of seating, quick service, and fresh hot food. I loved that I could add an egg to my burger. Reminded me of eating burgers in Australia/New Zealand where egg on a burger is common. read more

Fantastic lunches and breakfasts, the best in Helena. I tend to go with their breakfasts - if they still offered the Copperline pasty it would be a much tougher decision. Never been disappointed after eating there. read more

So delicious!! Best burger I've had in a long time. I ordered ahead and picked up, so convenient.

My goodness!!! That was incredible, delicious, filling and somewhere to return for sure. I ordered online - never been there before - picked the Miners Deluxe and a Coke for $11. If you order online they currently give you a free $3 French fries which were worth paying for and even more delicious for free! The burger was out of this world!!! Burger sauce is delicious!!! I told the guy in the window that it was my first time trying them - he said "hope we live up to all the hype". Oh you did Copperline Hardware you did!!! See you again soon. read more

A fantastic smashburger. Fries are great and poutine is very good. Fries are fresh cut not frozen and served in a big cup like 5 guys except better. read more

The Hardware Copperline owners are not new to the restaurant business, owning The Hardware Cafe in Montana City (4 stars on yelp) as well. The Hardware Copperline has a simple menu but the quality is high and it is all being served quickly by very friendly staff. Options are cheeseburgers, porkies, chicken sandwiches, and fries with cans of soda for drinks. Primarily a drive thru business, The Hardware Copperline also offers a walkup area. While it didn't appear to be open yet in the cold of winter it appears that a small patio will be available for those who want to sit and enjoy their meal outside. I think this will become quite popular because these sandwiches and the poutine are much to large to be able to eat while driving. If you're stopping at The Hardware Copperline find a place to park and eat or take it home with you, you're going to need both hands. We had the Maple Bacon Burger, the Classic Burger, and a side of poutine. Both burgers are double patties, appear to be cooked in the smash burger style on a griddle with a toasted brioche bun. The burgers were quite large and filling with quality fresh ingredients. The Maple Bacon Burger had a large helping of bacon on top. I believe the "maple" of the maple bacon was a bit of maple syrup added to the top of the burger as it seemed that most of the maple flavor was concentrated in the middle of the burger and coming from the bun rather than the bacon. For my personal preference I would ask if the maple can be skipped, but I'm just not a big fan of maple to begin with. By the time I was finishing the burger the maple was becoming overpowering for my tastes and reminded me of a McGriddle breakfast sandwich rather than the high quality burger that this is. I would not hold this against The Hardware Copperline at all, I know I'm not a fan of maple and ordered it anyways just to see how it was. The poutine is large enough to be a full meal in itself. Two of us tried to split it and after our burgers there was no way we could get around all of the poutine. Each and every fry was covered with brown gravy that had good sized pieces of meat in it and there was a large helping of fresh cheese curds tossed in. Yes, these cheese curds squeak as they should. I need to mention that we did not receive forks with our poutine, which will be necessary to eat this due to all the tasty gravy. We had taken our meals to a park to eat, so the lack of forks was a pretty big miss for us (we were able to source them from a place near the park so disaster was averted). This could be the best poutine in town except for one issue; Unfortunately for us the poutine was far too salty for our taste. There is a lot of promise in this poutine, so I think it is worth ordering and I plan on trying it again, but this particular serving could have been improved by cutting back on the salt. Overall; this is a very good place to grab a quick burger and go. Portions are huge, they are clearly using quality ingredients, and the staff is wonderful. I have a couple of very minor gripes, so I feel I can't give a full five stars. However this is a brand new place so I suspect during my next visit things will be ironed out a little more and I'll come back to edit this into five stars. The potential is definitely there. The Hardware Copperline proudly boasts that they have the best burgers in town, and I'd say they could definitely give anyone, anywhere, a run for their money. I will be back, very soon. I got my eyes set on a porkie next, and will be giving that poutine another shot. read more

Great food! The staff is excellent and the customer service is top notch! James is a great dude and great employee!

10/10 Incredible burgers and amazing customer service. Everybody was down to earth, friendly, and gave great customer service. Best burgers around easily. read more

Best smashburger in Helena! Also love the location on 11th with sitting space. Willing to accommodate special requests.

Food and service was good. They forgot my sauce so I had to go back. Always double check (everywhere) before u drive off It's a better burger than any mainstream burger franchise and worth the price. Since it was drive through the only ambiance was listening to my radio. I gave a 4 rating because nothing is ever perfect read more

By far, the best dam burgers around, hands down!!!! Location and service are also great too. 5 guys is the thing that even comes close to their quality of burgers read more

I've eaten here a few times. Very very tasty burgers. Fries are amazing. Great service

Excellent burger, I ordered a single, they are normally double patties, so glad I did, the cooked burger patty was larger than the bun - when was the last time you saw that!! I still couldn't finish my whole burger, which my dog was very happy to help me finish it! Husband had a mushroom swiss burger & said it was excellent. Now for fries, fresh cut fries that were well seasoned & a huge amount - way more than the 2 of us could eat for $3! We sat on their patio and the staff said we could let our dog sit with us outside. We will definitely stop again when coming through Helena. read more

Forget fast food chains. This place serves fresh burgers with great toppings and the best poutine in Helena. Good value for the size of the meal. Quicker than the waiting for a processed burger. read more

Good food when they get your order correct. Unfortunately mine has been wrong the last 4 times I went. Overall decent experience

The burgers offered are a great variety, and all stacked with layers of meat and cheese. The problem is the burger itself has no flavor. It's not necessarily their fault, but they need to find a different burger supplier. read more
