    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.

    Love the wop chops and fries. Good old fashioned neighborhood tavern. They don't take cards, so come prepared.

    This old school 1960's tavern delivers a signature Wopp chop (pork chop sandwich) that will fill you up, definitely worth the stop.

    We had wop-chops to go. They were great. The pork chop was thick and cooked perfectly. A perfect and filling sandwich to eat on the road.

    Co worker found this place and we decided to try it. We were a bit confused when we pulled into…read morewhat looked like a city park then we realized and put 2 and 2 together, the name should have given it away, this is the clubhouse for the Highland view golf course. Walking in on a Monday and after fresh snowfall there was not many people in there. We were seated right away. The cool thing is they have 2 trackman bays for golf during the winter weather. The waitress said you can do an hour for $25/ 2 people. You do have to call the l pro shop to book a reservation. After looking over the menu, so many options, we decided to start with apps. Huckleberry pork spring rolls and bruschetta with naan bread. The spring rolls were good but would have like more of the huckleberry sauce on it. Or having the huckleberry sauce as the dipping. The bruschetta was good, it was a little on the Spicy side due to excessive amounts of garlic. It was also a little different having it on naan bread then having it on a Cristini. I finally decided on the buffalo chicken Mac & Cheese. My co workers had Huckleberry stuffed pork chop with a side of asparagus, and Bourbon steak sandwich, with a side of macaroni and cheese. I can't speak for them but my Mac & cheese was good. Great flavor with chicken, buffalo sauce, bacon and blue cheese crumble. Never would've thought to put this on the mac & cheese but it was great. Only negative thing I have to say about this was when my coworker got a refill on his tea and was stirring in his sugar there was flakes of something in the bottom of the glass. Other then that it was all good.

    We really enjoyed eating on the patio here. It is extremely kid friendly with great service.

The biggest downfall is that the bartender really didn't know her beers and could not provide recommendations. We ordered a steak medium rare - it was a little undercooked but not rare and the flavor was very good. The Back 9 melt was a hefty sandwich easily shared and was also very good. We did not have high expectations for food in Butte and were pleasantly surprised with Back 9. It may be a rare repeat for us if we are ever in this area again
