    Amazing service and great food!! Smaller area but happy atmosphere! Food was very delicious with hand cut fries and lots of handmade food. It was cash only though. Very family friendly and my family enjoyed it. When you think of hole in the wall you should think of this place!!

    Wop Chop with Jo-Jo's fries and a can of Draught Works IPA made in nearby Missoula.

    You really need to stop eating at Arby's. They may have the meats but these guys have the Wop Chop. The Wop Chop is a really unique twist on a pork sandwich. The chop is tenderized and deep fried to a golden crisp. The chop is then placed on a simple but tasty bun with sliced onions and a couple pickle slices. Pair the burger with a can of local IPA from Draught Works based in Missoula. The IPA has a crisp bite with a smooth finish. Really good job, guys. The Wop Chop comes without cheese. Trust me, you don't need any. Add some mayo with their horseradish sauce the result will be a super tasty sandwich that isn't greasy nor masked by the cheese. Let those flavours sing! Skip the homemade fries. They are crispy and definitely a solid choice. Instead, get the Jo-Jos fries. Essentially, homemade potato wedges served with a side of sour cream. Give this small tavern your cash. They have earned it. The food is solid.

    I first heard about this place years ago from the Man VS Food episode when he went to Butte. Since then I made it a point to get a Whop Chop whenever I go through Butte. Before the show I never even heard of a whop chop. Since my first one, I have been hooked. The combo of pork, onion, pickles and mustard work perfectly together. The Freeway Tavern is a dive bar, no question about it, and the service can be a little rough. It is worth a visit for the whop chop. I have never had anything else there but that. Their location is right off the highway, so it is easy to get to and then back on I90. Worth a visit for the whop chop for sure.

    Wop Chop!

    Divey. Plenty of parking. Had to try the iconic "Wop Chop". A deep fried pork chop about an inch thick and covered in batter. Some reviewers claimed that it wasn't as good as it used to be. Well it's the first time I've been, and it was awesome! Perfectly cooked and juicy

    It's little bar restaurant with lots of locals famous for the wop chop sandwich. It was really unique and good plus I had the breaded mushrooms which were also good. It's a pork loin sandwich which Butte is famous for. It's worth trying

    Wop Chop....deep fried pork loin on a bun with a slice of raw onion and some pickles and mustard not my kinda sandwich but the hubby loved it it comes with fries or "jo-jo" and we got the wedges of potatoes which come with sour cream really nice lady working the bar and serving us we came here on our way to Missoula after spending five days at a lodge on the Big Hole River we also stopped at Butte Copper Company and bought two copper mugs for Moscow Mules

    Whop chop (pork chop sandwich). Highly recommend! A local favourite

    When in Butte you gotta try their pork chop sandwich. We went to Freeway cuz of the reviews and when I asked a couple locals they also pointed me to Freeway. Get the whop chop and ask for extra mayo. SO good!!! My hubby got the fried chicken. Chicken was perfectly cooked and so crispy plus juicy inside. It didn't have too much flavour though. They have a list of sauces on their board so we asked for BBQ sauce to dip in. It was pretty good. If u get the chicken I recommend u ask for sauce. Fries were also very good. Hand cut just how I like them!

    Small place but big on character.

    See all

    Had to try this Butte landmark. Didn't disappoint. A couple of beers, a Wop Chop and some Jo Jo's definitely hit the spot.
