    Love Shellie's, it's our go to for breakfast. My sister recently moved to Helena and her and I had…read morea great meal and we were able to stay and visit and never felt rushed out. They even offered to top off my coffee after we had paid. Our family recently ate there also it's always a great meal and experience. There were 7 of us and we were seated with other customers at a joined area. (Two tables pushed next to each other). I was nervous that they may be annoyed having children next to them but everything went great and I was thankful our children behaved. I miss the fun signage from the old location and don't love the restrooms at the new location. But the food is still good, and we love the portions.

    We were in Helena for the day and heard great things about this spot from a few friends so we…read moredecided to check it out. I wish I was more hungry when I walked in cause I really wanted to try their "Holy Cow" style meals but could only go with the standard serving size. I ended up going with the chicken sandwich. The chicken was fried perfectly on the outside and the inside was tender and had good flavor. The fries here were very good and I would've kept ordering more of those if I had any more room. The food here is really great. It feels like the best diner food imaginable in a setting that offers so much more. The restaurant reminded me of a bigger chain but with the hometown feel. Big but cozy and personable. Our server was great and always made sure our drinks were full the whole meal. I'll be sure to come back here the next time we visit Helena.

    Great time with friends and family all visiting Helena for a wedding. The service is 10 stars and…read moreI'm bummed I did not get our sever's name. She was awesome and so much fun. Once I saw it on the menu I had to get the GIGANTIC PRETZEL (GP). It was gigantic and it was a pretzel. Great crispy outside and soft warm perfectly cooked inside. Get it, you won't regret it. 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! Eat Very Well!! HAVE FUN!!!

But once you get there it is pure joy and the best food!! (And although it's gotten a bad rap for slow service, I beg your pardon! This is Montana, a long drive between places is part of the experience, so we should all slow down and enjoy it! I got my craft beer in record time, and order shortly after, the waitresses were very friendly and helpful but let you take your time and enjoy the experience! My wings were Excellent, great homemade sauce with wings on a bed of fries, which caught up the dripping sauce and made a wonderful meal, paired with a salad, this was a memorable and delicious little place to relax and enjoy historic Helena and Last Chance Gulch! Do try this place if you get the Last Chance!

    Evan made our birthday dinner at Silver Star truly exceptional. From the start, he was welcoming,…read moreattentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. He helped guide our choices without being pushy, and his recommendations were spot-on. For his birthday meal, my husband ordered a steak and I had the salmon--both were cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious. Evan checked in at all the right times, making sure everything was just right without ever interrupting the flow of our evening. What really set Evan apart was how he elevated the celebration. He acknowledged my husband's birthday in a genuine, thoughtful way that made the night feel special without being overdone. His attention to detail and friendly, professional demeanor made us feel taken care of from beginning to end. If you're dining at The Silver Star Steak Company, ask for Evan--you won't be disappointed!

    I bet this place would be great if you walk in with a Brione suit on and a hot chick on your arm…read more Unfortunately, I only had my adidas black sweat top and tennis shoes one and was not treated well. Other customers that perhaps were perceived as bigger paychecks were consistently served before me. At first I sat at the bar to make it easy for the servers. Unfortunately it was only me and I was abandoned after My drink came and no dinner menus came despite being asked and responding that yes, I need them. So, I took my drink and asked to be seated at a table. the table next to me had about 8 people seated after me, and again they were able to order drinks before my waitress came to me. So, looks matter in this restaurant - a lot! That is never a good sign. My waitress is probably in the wrong career as she was brusque and seemed put off at having to serve 1 person. Maybe she was cursed with being German as I am. The wedge salad I ordered was two small wedge pieces instead of the normal 1 large piece and was ok, but underwhelming in both the size and the amount of blue cheese which was a bit sparse. The 6 oz fillet seemed more like 4 and was ok - the baked potato noticeably smaller than most but loaded at least. The restaurant scene is Helena is pitiful, to be honest. Billings is the place in Montana to be for restaurants. Maybe Bozeman or Missoula but unfortunately, the capital is lacking. The martinis were decent but not as good as the windmill in billings.
