In search of the real deal rural Montana steakhouse? They were once almost everywhere, and so many have closed now, particularly along Montana Highway 200. But the Montanan Steakhouse, in a modern yet rustic and comfy building, keeps the time-honored tradition alive, and thriving. What makes a great Montana steakhouse?--fresh cut beef, cooked perfectly. I have never had a better New York strip--anywhere. So tender, juicy, and cooked a perfect medium rare. JUST AWESOME. My companion raved about the spicy sauced salmon, and truffle fries. My sides were equally good--Gouda au gratin potatoes and a julienne veggie mix. The real star, however, was the beef barley soup--wow, so creamy and the barley oh man. A good Montana steakhouse also calls for good drinks--no problem here. There's a solid selection of Montana microbrews, a better than expected wine list, and knock-down creative cocktails--all $10 or under. Finally a great Montana place needs a rustic, laid back setting with attentive friendly service. This place had a ton of charm and real, not fake, friendly vibes. Didn't want to leave! read more

Holy cow, literally, LOL, I had the New York strip medium of course! It was phenomenal! But to be honest you can't do a steak without sauté mushrooms, and these are the best that I ever had!! Definitely a finishing salt on them, but the sauce, or marinade? THE BEST MUSHROOMS EVER! My wife had the chicken piccata and absolutely loved it! Cocktails could use a little help? Highly recommend coming here when in town!! read more

Really good steak and salad but it was overcooked. I don't return food but it was good quality beef and well seasoned. Salad was really good!! read more

We visited Montanan Steakhouse for a family dinner. The food was great! Our server, Tammy, was attentive, helpful, friendly, and fun to chat with. Our table of 5 got the mushrooms appetizer- yum. We also got the filet, salmon, pasta, and burger. We all enjoyed our food and our drinks! We look forward to our next visit! Hoping we get there early enough for the pre rib this time. read more

This is the Best place to eat in Lincoln! So much variety for such a small town. The sizzling mushrooms are a must!

It's been a year since we have been here and now there are new owners. With that said: burgers, steak sandwich, chicken fried steak and Gouda potatoes au gratin are awesome as well as the truffle fries and cocktails. All wait staff and bar servers are very pleasant. They ARE working out the kinks and are well on their way. Best of luck to the new owners and can't wait to visit you next summer!! read more

Wonderful BIG steaks and an A la carte menu, which is awesome for light eaters. Service was excellent, the owner (I assume) even came out to check on the food. Which was excellent! The Brussel sprout appetizer dish was OUTSTANDING! Do not miss ordering it!! My husband doesn't even like brussel sprouts and he loved them! They were very accommodating of dietary restrictions. Will be back! read more

The food and beer top shelf. Had the rib eye with augrauten potatoes. Amazing. Service was a little slow if you are in a hurry.

Great sandwiches, salads & appetizers, the homemade fried mozzarella is my favorite ever. Cold drinks, many local beers on tap, we love to stop in! My one critique is the burgers- they seem thrown together and inconsistent quality, just need a little more attention to detail in the prep time and assembly IMHO. read more

Ok. Lincoln, Montana is famous for way more than the unabomber. For example, this place! Sooo much good food. Psst. They even have a salad bar in the evening. Do you know how rare it is to find a salad bar in today's world? I FOUND ONE. Anyways, the candied bacon on a stick is to die for. Try it. Just do it. You will thank me later. Also, try the huckleberry wings. I was pleasantly surprised. I expected sickly sweet but that is not at all the case. Such a nice pla or with a mild bite. Yum. read more

I've been here now under old and new ownership and it's the same old same old. I stopped in for lunch, ordered a salad and after 30 minutes I still didn't have a salad. It's not like I ordered a huge meal and there was only 2 other tables and one was leaving. Not sure if I'm going to give it another try. So sad because there aren't a whole lot of choices in Lincoln read more

The worst food ever, my whole family got sick. The help was probably the worst I have ever encountered in my life. DO NOT RECOMMEND this place ever. Very expensive for food we only ate a few bites of. Will never be back!!! read more

The waitstaff was friendly, but was unaware. I was excited to try their specialty Huckleberry Burger. Both the Angus burger and the bun were burnt. And when I set it aside and she saw it, I had to actually bring it to her attention. All she said was that she'd bring it to the cooks attention. No sorry, no can have have another one made, or even an offer of taking it off the bill. read more

Asked the server if they had prime rib and if it was rare or medium rare and she said yes a little disappointed prime rib was medium to medium well not hot Au Gus juice not hot, meat kind of dry not fresh prime rib Server was very friendly and good the Gouda scallop potatoes are very good and they were served hot. Scampi shrimp ok read more

Service not very attentive. Out of salad dressing. Side salad was bare minimum. Out of other sides. Waited for drinks and they ate no busy. Never asked once if I. Needed anything else. read more

Stopped on a Sunday afternoon and they really weren't busy, but service was awful. We both ordered an appetizer and a sandwich. But after a long wait it all came out at the same time. Except they forgot the fries for my husband, so another wait for those. The server was very confused, almost like she had dementia. The huckleberry chicken wings were slightly undercooked and mediocre. The chicken Brie sandwich was quite good. My husband said the Reuben was not great. Then we were ignored for ever waiting for the check. Finally went to the hostess stand and asked for it. It's a cute place but one time was enough for us. read more

Shit customer experience. Had to wait so so long and the service is awful. They charge so much but what you get is worth crap. I seriously DO NOT recommend! read more

really good food, they should really hire more help. The waitress did the best she could but was clearly stressed out, not that I blame her. 1 person to 7-8 tables or more? read more

Great basic breakfast. Our server, Julia was friendly and attentive. Her humor kept us smiling. The eggs were cooked as ordered, the hash browns properly crisped, and the bacon delicious. The french toast was also a basic offering, but in the best of ways. Sometimes bells and whistles for breakfast do not fit your mood, and nothing will satisfy like what mom used to make. This place would make mom happy. We will plan on a dinner here in the future to try a steak in this pleasantly rustic setting. read more

Very nice inside and very nice waitress and owner food is very good and came relatively fast

Dinner was great! Caesar dressing on salad was delicious and the au gratin potatoes were amazing!! Dinner rolls were beautiful and our entrees were excellent. Would eat here again although we were just passing through. read more

I went with the Cowboy Burger for lunch, cooked medium. It was tasty with onion rings, Gouda cheese and bbq sauce on a pretzel type bun. My lunch came with fries or chips. I chose the chips. They were thick cut, hot and fresh, and sprinkled with something like a bbq dry rub. Very good. Decor is Western, with pine paneling and copper trim. The booth was nicely upholstered. The burger was reasonably priced at $10.50. read more

Fabulous experience. Some of the best food we've eaten while traveling throughout Montana. This is definitely on are list to repeat. Will certainly think about having another dinner here on our way back home. Try the Cheese Curd appetizer. It was really good. read more

OMGOSH the classic shrimp cocktail is huge and tasty!! The cob Salad is also humongous and tasty. They have wonderful beer from Missouri Breaks Brewing "the Porcupine" an APA that is delicious. The stakes are in the same mold as the salad and cocktail HUGE and delicious!!! Please do yourself a favor and stop here and enjoy yourself. read more

After been here for awhile decided to try it because under new ownership I had the French dip with Fries. French dip was very good Roll was fresh and not too thick. Fries were okay but too thick for my tastes Husband had the huckleberry burger and chips his review was " ok " onions took over the taste of huckleberry Would come back though read more

Excellent prime rib extremely great flavor! Some way overdo the rosemary, & I didn't taste it. The seasonings on the meat was what made the meat the best tasting prime rib! The baked potato was delicious cooked just right. The salad bar was a pleasant change after the Covid19 lockdowns closed salad bars! Good tasting Ranch Dressing made right! read more

Just had a late breakfast. The Montanan. You need to come up to Lincoln and have some Breakfast!! Coffee was also good.

Visited 3 times and all 3 times the service was slow, and staff very unwelcoming. The food was at best just okay. I won't go back. I haven't tried their breakfast but have heard great things. Might try breakfast but done with trying dinner. read more

Staff very nice. Nice atmosphere. Had chicken fried steak, and mashed potatoes. Perfect!!! Also ordered a classic burger. Bread was toasted and hamburger cooked just right. The salad bar was a nice surprise and enjoyed the potato salad! Did I say the staff was nice!!! Definitely will come back again! read more

The Montanan is as good for its personality as it is for its steak. The owner Barbara, at age 82, will greet you and offer you a full history of her family's business and the history of Lincoln. Although my steak was more medium rare, than medium, it was an excellent steak. And, the staff was pleasant and professional. A business client took me to Lincoln, MT to assess a business venture for a website. I was totally surprised, as I had never turned off the highway at Lincoln. My two companions and I had a great time and an excellent dinner at the Montanan. read more

I made a special trip out to Lincoln from Great Falls just to try this place because it had such positive reviews (on another site), but it really fell short. The service was terrible. After waiting for well over an hour for our food, we were informed that it was taking so long because the steak was ordered 'well done' and that just takes longer. Really? It takes over an hour? Finally we were handed a flavorless fillet of beef that wasn't cooked to order, some crappy potatoes, and a rack of dry, tasteless, burned ribs. After finally giving up on our hopes for a decent meal, it took another 20 min to flag down a server and get our bill. This place won't be getting a second chance. read more

Marginal accommodations, service, and food. We did love the bacon appetizer though. The salad bar consisted of a bowl of lettuce, carrots, dressing, and cauliflower...that's it. The server always smiled but didn't follow up to see how our meal was, and worst she walked to a table, dropped the menus, then left. Didn't look back to even see if we were following. I would not advise eating here. Not worth the time or coin. Very disappointing when one works hard for their money, only to shell out $50 for the honor of having poor service and a meal who's only rival is McDonalds...and they place second. read more

Wife and I stopped in for a late lunch, She had a cheeseburger I a cowboy burger and house salad. Some of the best burgers we have had in a while. The beer was cold, Jennifer our waitress made us feel special, the place has nice ambiance about it. Five stars, We will be back. read more
