a display of different flavors of ice cream
Jedediah T.

Heading south after coming through Glacier, my mother-in-law wanted some ice cream. We rolled across the open plains of north-central Montana, and then came to Choteau, where we were greeted by a giant ceratopsian dinosaur, a theropod of some sort, a hadrosaur, and ice cream! We went into the building where you are greeted first by the dining area, then go to the left where the Wilcoxson's ice cream is dished up with a smile. Sixteen flavors confronted us, but the worker was happy to explain what was in each one and offer samples as needed. The single scoops are quite generous, and we were able to get cones for eight people without breaking the bank. They also offer a banana split (sounded like too much to handle before hopping back in the car) and hot fudge sundaes. As pictured, they do not take credit/debit cards, so make sure you have some cash on hand to trade for some great ice cream.

Must stop if you are driving through town. Have some ice cream and walk around and visit all the museum items and old country town setup. Bear trap, dinosaurs, teepee, just lots to see.

Orders are taken at the window by those walking up, or you can wait in your car for one of the employees to take your order. Service is quick and friendly. I opted for the Super Nachos and a small curly fry. The nachos were the a satisfying size, and came with a side of salsa and sour cream. The curly fry was cooked perfectly and wasn't swimming in grease. Be forewarned, they only take cash or check, so leave your cards at home.

The only place we found was a little drive up place called Dash inn. this young lady came up to the car took our order and in less then 10 minutes we had our food. the only thing that was missing would be The tray that hooked on the door windows. Our waitress brought the food in a plane white bag. I did not get any shots of the food because I forgot to take pictures of it. As I finished eating I realized I forgot the pictures. So I had a bacon cheese burger with fries. One of the best burgers I've had in a long time. The bacon was extra crispy, the burger was not greasy. It with lettuce, tomatoes and pickles . Trust me when I say it was good because it was.

On the drive from Bozeman to East Glacier, my husband and I stopped at John Henry's for some…read moreburgers to go. This is a really sweet, family owned, community spot; I wish we had more time to stay and relax. There were inviting booths and long tables with padded seating and an area in the back with a fireplace. The staff was friendly and the food was delicious. My husband was very excited that they had gluten free buns for his cheeseburger. I got the hamburger and sweet potato fries. The buns were toasted! The lettuce, onions, and tomato were all fresh; and the staff cleverly put them under the paper in the to go containers so the buns didn't get soggy. Ketchup, mustard, and ranch were offered on the side. The sweet potato fries were fresh and delicious. While we were waiting for the food, we stretched and checked out some of the photos on the walls. There were historic shots of Choteau, some beautiful artistic photos of the plains, and lots of local sports teams and children's drawings. I would recommend this as a great spot to get a solid burger and enjoy some of the local flavor.

By far the best steak around anywhere. The burgers are to die for!…read more I have no idea how they can provide such good food at these low prices! Wine is cheap too! Don't miss out on stopping here, you will not regret it ! Family owned and run. Everything is homemade. Yummmm

My husband isn't going to shut up about that pie for a week - he said he reserves the right to talk about it longer because it was so good. The prime rib was so tender and the French dip was exactly what you expect. Also, the "side" salad is as big as you get for a dinner salad in some places. Everyone knows everyone, so they knew we were from out of town, and customers and staff were both welcoming and friendly. Stop here!

Then, you'll wait for 30 minutes without her checking on you or bringing menus. Eventually we grabbed our own menus and had the dishwasher grab us two waters. No one checked on us for a very, very long time. We finally got to order our food around 6:58 after arriving at 6:02. We received our food at 7:19 and our tacos had the soggiest tortillas, they were falling apart and we had to just eat the ingredients on the inside with a fork. All of our other dishes were cold & not very flavorful. The server never ONCE checked on us or refilled our waters (that she didn't bring us in the first place). There were three women working the front of house and the main server continuously yelled at and scolded one of the other servers and at one point raised her voice at her and said "we will talk about this later!! You're being so rude!" It made for a VERY uncomfortable experience for everyone around. Every single table that came in after us not only received drinks, attention, menus, etc., but they ALL ordered and received their food before us. Like, nearly 30 minutes before us. It was an absolute horrible experience. I've worked in food service before & have eaten at many establishments where service wasn't quite up to par but this really topped all of them. I've never had an experience like this before. I'd also like to mention that the establishment was incredibly hot as well. Just an overall horrible experience. Almost two hours later, we were able to leave, after having to wait 15 minutes to pay after we were done eating.
