    fishtail general store

    While traveling east from Idaho and on the way to Butte, Montana, my son and I stopped off at this awesome Old West trading store. A little bit off the beaten path, but well worth it, Fishtail General Store is authentically a real General Store. They have everything here: food & drink, cool T-shirts, camping, hunting, & fishing gear, hand-crafted toys, & locally-made candles and soap. I was so happy to find some real heart-shaped boxes adorned with flowers. They were beautiful and I bought both of them. The grocery selection is pretty good for a store right off the freeway. The website says Fishtail General offers "an old meat market section of the store with a world famous "Fishtail General Store Special Sausage". This is a delicacy treasured by regular customers. The full line of grocery items includes fresh baked bread, pies, cinnamon rolls, pizza, deli sandwiches made to order, and other goodies. I can attest to their wonderful deli sandwiches which my boy and I gobbled up. Perhaps it's that all the fresh mountain air makes a coastal tourist hungry? The store offers hand-dipped ice cream cones. Those under the age of 9 can get a cone for only 10 cents. Located in south-central Montana in the foothills of the northern Rocky Mountains, Fishtail is smack in the middle of the finest hunting, trout fishing, skiing and eye-popping scenery on the planet. I was astonished, as we were driving into Montana, to look up on a ridge and see a juvenile brown bear-in May! Usually the bears are still hibernating so this was quite an unusual sight. I remember thinking how shiny and glossy the bear's fur was in the sunlight and that this was a very good omen. In the back of the store, there is a huge wooden table with benches, where visitors can "sit and rest for a spell." Oh, don't forget to find a spot on the table to carve your autograph! Out here in the Wild West, that is not considered graffiti or defacing a public area, it is WELCOMED! How trippy is that-they want you to tag their furniture? 5 Yelp Stars for being a friendly spot to stop & welcome city slickers who can leave their ghetto handle on furniture without threat of arrest!

    Perfect little spot for most of your needs. This place was the only place available within 30-40…read moreminutes of where we were staying. They have a bunch of random stuff, things you'll need in a pinch, including various foods and fresh produce (not meat), drinks, snacks, and other necessities. We made several stops here during our 4 day stay.

    I absolutely love places like this: Small all-purpose stores that stock a little of everything…read more It's a grocery store where the prices are naturally a little more than those in Livingston, they aren't so high as to ruin your vacation by cleaning out your wallet to pay for food for your camping, hiking or fishing adventure in Yellowstone or any of the other nearby non-Park spots. It's also a hardware, hiking and fishing supplies shop. In fact, I was impressed with the volume and kinds of fishing gear in stock. Of course, given the number of fishing access spots I passed, I suppose I shouldn't have been surprised. While I was there, the person ahead of me in the checkout line had an entire basket of groceries. She lived nearby and liked the convenience of not driving the several miles to Livingston or to Gardiner. I don't know if this place gives a discount to locals but given the number of tourists that were in and out of here, they likely could cut a break for nearby residents. Because it's located on the main road to the Park, you won't have to stray too far to pick up supplies, including the touristy stuff. And the people working here are nice and efficient.
