If you work downtown, then it's an easy…read morestop to get some last minute groceries without having to fight your way through the crowds at the larger grocery store on your way home. It's a boutique store, carrying only the most requested things,and with prices that are not too far off from what they would be at a larger store. It reminds me of a convenience store, but with more things and better selection. There are a couple of coolers with frozen items, a display case with pre-made sandwiches for a quick lunch, kitchen staples such as oils and vinegar, spices, tea, coffee, juices, soups, as well as a good-sized selection of office supply items and medications. Perfect for a quick trip where you only need a couple of things and want to save time, Lil Market fills a missing slot in downtown Billings for those who live downtown and don't want to go too far to pick up a missing item or two.

It introduces myself and my family to different foods available throughout Montana. We enjoy cooking our family favorites with locally grown foods. In the two years we have been coming, we have come to love so many wonderful products that keeps us coming back for more each week. We love alfalfa honey (only honey I absolutely love) from Drange Apiary in Laurel, MT. We love us some Flathead Cherries. We love the jalapeno cheddar and Hawaiian brats, meat sticks and summer sausages from Ranch House Meat Market. We like jalapeno & herb tortillas from Trevino's Tortillas, Inc. We love the zucchini and chokecherry lemonade from Burnt Bean Ranch. We like creamed honey from Becky's Berries. We enjoy Japanese garlic from Garlic Montana. Donuts from Heiko Bakery. We've enjoyed asian food from Boardwok, Khantalys and Oriental Express. We love the Nut Shack products! So addictive! We've tried tamales from Montana Tamales. We've tried a variety of teas from Tea City. We enjoy kettle corn from Don's Kettle Corn. Yummy chocolate covered strawberries and chocolates from Brockel's Chocolates. Salsa from Kenny's DD Salsa. Fresh produce from Martindale Colony. Each week we look forward to trying something new. Thank you to all the vendors for coming together to offer all of this Montana goodness!

After buying the bottle in one of three sizes, you can bring it back to be re-filled with the same, or something new. While there are larger shops, this has the advantage of more personal service that comes from being smaller. Small bread cubes (or paper spoons) for dipping in the samples, recipe ideas and cards, and recommendations for complementary spices. It's a fun, local, store that can help change or create a new flavor profile for a favorite recipe.

We went for brunch on Sunday around 11:30 and although it was packed, our wait was only about 20 minutes, which was impressive for how busy they were. Our server was incredibly sweet and attentive the entire time. My husband ordered the veggie hash and I had the loaded hash browns with asparagus and broccolini added, both were so flavorful and fresh. For our daughter, we kept it simple with one egg, a sausage patty, and bacon, and we also added a pancake with strawberries for the table. Everything was delicious! Overall, such a wonderful spot with a warm atmosphere and great food. This will definitely become a staple for our family!

Jack cheese is a much better bet. Good hollandaise but much too thin. Service was attentive, though I didn't appreciate the menu toss on the table from the hostess. It came off a little flippant, though perhaps was unintentional.

I first came across Swanky Roots at the Farmers Market on the West End. After seeing all the…read moredifferent kinds of lettuce, and being impressed with how good it was, I decided to visit their greenhouse and see what else might be there. While social distancing rules have suspended the in-person tours, you can still peek through the window from the main shop and see the rows of hydroponics. Inside the shop are coolers with various types of lettuce or herbs, and the availability depends on what is ready for harvest. It won't be the same thing every visit. In addition, Swanky Roots carries product and general knickknacks from local places. I've tried two of the different types of lettuce, the Butter and the Oakleaf, and some of the tomatoes. I can see why the Butter lettuce is popular -- the name suits it, for being a very smooth lettuce, almost like spinach, but without that slight bitterness. The tomatoes -- perhaps it wasn't a fair comparison -- but I had some tomatoes from the market and some from Swanky Roots. Aw geez, there was simply no comparison. I could make the argument they were two different kinds of tomato and that's why the taste was so different, but realistically, I don't think that would even explain it. The Swanky roots tomato actually had some flavor. If you see any Swanky Roots produce, take a chance and give them a try. You might be pleasantly surprised.

Maybe you don't love eating your greens, but you will once you try Swanky Roots!!!

Will definitely stop in again. Cute place to hang out in as well, nice and bright with comfy looking furniture. Oh and they do have a drive thru.
