This place isn't what it used to be. It's been under new ownership since October 2022. The new…read moreowners had an opportunity to continue making this a welcoming place where locals were met by a friendly face and a warm greeting when they walked in the door. Sadly, they've scored a big F for FAIL. My husband and/or I have stopped in at least a dozen times since last October, and last week we decided "enough is enough." We mostly encounter the male owner, not his wife. He's not much of a talker, gruff to the point of blatant rudeness. A simple question like "where can I find xyz?" is met with a "what, are you stupid?" stare and a reply that expresses that same attitude. We thought maybe he just didn't like us for some bizarre reason. Is it because we've only lived here for 12 years and aren't "old timers" like his family? But we've seen him treat others, tourists and locals alike, just as rudely. It's almost like he's baiting them to call out his rudeness so he can then refuse them service. When we witnessed EXACTLY that last week, we decided we're DONE with Papa's Market, and we are telling all our family and friends who live here to do the same. Word of mouth is still the best form of advertising. When you treat one customer badly, you can multiply that by 10. In small towns like ours, multiply by 20. REAL Montanans are good neighbors, no matter how long their neighbor has lived in Montana. Now, if you don't care about rude business owners (let's face it, civility and common decency appears to have been thrown out the window in this country), here are a few other things to keep in mind before giving this establishment your hard-earned dollars. 1) Prices at places like this (tourist traps) that get a lot of out-of-state travelers usually are much higher. That's an unfortunate given. We understand inflation is making things tough for everyone, but Papa's Market prices are INSANELY high. 6 bucks for a regular size box of Nabisco crackers? 5 bucks for box of cake mix? Back in December, I ran out of raisins for a dessert recipe and sent my husband over to Papa's (3 min. away) for a box. He ended up going to Harvest Foods because even with the extra mileage, it was still cheaper than what Papa's was selling: 6 halloween-treat-size boxes of raisins that had been wrapped in cellophane and slapped with price of $4.99. 2) Gas price gauging. Watch out! Read the Unleaded gas price sign very carefully. The price is for CASH ONLY. When you get to the pump, you'll find the price is at least 10 cents higher if you're paying by credit card. No matter which method of payment you use, gas prices at Papa's are ALWAYS at least 10-20 cents higher than the Harvest Foods gas station just 5 miles north. 3) If you're looking at old reviews, please be aware that Papa's doesn't sell milkshakes anymore. There is a nice veggie/fruit stand set up outside every Wednesday (June-September) by the local Hutterite community. My one star in this review is for the Hutterite stand, though they'd get 5 all on their own.

We went to this restaurant on Saturday morning and had…read moreexcellent food and service , so much so we went back Sunday morning and that's where it took a nose dive. It was a different waitress who was, let's just say unwelcoming from the start. My husband follows the carnivore diet and ordered the exact same thing as the day before, an all meat omelet, and the response he received was "where do you see that in the menu?" He explained that he got the same thing the day before with no issues and she was obviously disgruntled at the situation. She then proceeded to go into the kitchen and speak with the cook, the same one as the day before, and we could overhear her angst. She came back around and we asked if it was going to be an issue and she scoffed and replied no in a condescending tone. We took one look at each other and got up and walked out. Mind you I have never walked out of a restaurant in my life. I have never felt so unwelcomed in an establishment. This really took us by surprise because just the day before the other waitress bent over backwards to accommodate us and was very inviting and friendly. It's not like it is a super hard request, an omelette with no veggies, but on Sunday it felt like we had asked for a very difficult meal. If I were to rate Saturdays experience it would be 5/5, Sundays experience would be negative stars.
