Before Lewis and Clark, fur traders, gold hunters, and homesteaders, the land that would become Montana was home to several Indigenous tribes, each with its own traditions, cultures, stories, religions, languages, and histories. Today, twelve are recognized as sovereign nations within seven established reservations. Many historical Indigenous sites remind usof their ties to the land and the battles they fought to protect it. We visited Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument, Custer's Last Stand from 1876. This was an Indian victory and an Army defeat here.

It's a family owned shop with fresh cut meats, mostly beef and pork, but there is also various kinds of bacon, deli meats, jerky, brats, and sausages. There's usually a special of some kind. From time to time, they have buffalo meat and chicken. They also will do deer processing. During the lunch hours, they have a special highlighting the meats -- a sandwich, a slider, maybe a loaded baked potato -- something small, but always tasty.

We started with the octopus appetizer and a gluten-free pita.

They also did a good job accommodating gluten-free needs throughout the meal, via a dedicated gluten-free menu. For dinner, I had the stuffed pork chop, which had a somewhat Greek-inspired preparation. It was served over orzo and stuffed with feta and olives. Really flavorful, well executed, and a more interesting preparation than the typical pork chop. My wife had the duck and enjoyed it as well. We paired dinner with a bottle of Nebbiolo.

She even had to endure a few of my terrible dad jokes with remarkable patience.Unfortunately, the food was a disappointment this time.I ordered the beef stroganoff, which was priced at $20. It's a dish that's usually difficult to get wrong, but this version missed the mark in several ways. The sauce was overly salty, to the point that it overwhelmed the other flavors, including the tanginess of the sour cream that should have balanced the dish.I understand that the special was likely prepared using prime rib or another roast from a previous service, but the beef itself was overcooked to the point of being dry and chewy. The stroganoff was served over pasta that appeared to have been prepped ahead of time and quickly reheated, but it was significantly undercooked and had a tough, leathery texture.I also ordered a side of fried Brussels sprouts. While I realize they were cooked in a deep fryer, they too seemed undercooked. The centers were firm enough to be unpleasantly hard.That said, in the interest of giving an honest review, I have to emphasize that this experience appears to be an exception rather than the rule. My visits to Montana Jack have consistently been excellent, and I generally consider it one of the best places to eat in Billings, Montana. While this meal fell short of the experience I've come to expect, I fully intend to return and hope this was simply an off night in an otherwise outstanding track record

My father inlaw bought a horse at the sale on 6/22/19 sellers being Aspen Ranch out of Valley…read moreSprings, South Dakota. That night he had dropped the horse off at our house and asked my husband to ride him to see how he was. 10 minutes into him riding the horse he put him in a trot and there was a very obvious limp. We couldn't get ahold of a vet on Sunday as this was not an "emergency" and we knew we needed to get this done by Monday at noon to have any sort of money compensation. They picked the horse up early Monday and off to Billings they went to try and get this done. They called the sale and asked for their vets number and was given a number and had people meet them. My husband got on the horse and rode it bareback and the lady kept saying she didn't see the limp. He saddled him up and put him in a trot and sure enough there it was. In the time between this my father in-law asked which one was the vet to which they replied neither. This was the whole purpose... to get the vet to check the horse. It was the manager of the sale, Jann. She was very direct to them "Kyle" from Aspen ranch would never sell a horse or bring a horse like that to the sale. After all, Jan, is very proud that they sell good horses. "OUR SOUNDNESS GUARANTEE: Credibility and Dependability are important to us" - direct from their web page. Anyway, they make a deal since the vet wasn't there like they had planned noon was approaching, the sellers took half off and were told they didn't have their normal farrier trim and shoe the horse and so chalked it up as he was sore from being trimmed. Straight from Billings they drove to Montana Equine in Three Forks. We get him x-rayed. Turns out this horse has navicular and has had it for YEARS. The VERY reputable vet said there is no way the previous owner could not of known. My problem comes with the sale manager here - when I called her to tell her of this issue she would NOT let me talk. I had to talk louder and louder just to get a word in. I'm assuming she thought I wanted money back when in fact I thought her being a "reputable" person would want to know who is coming through her sale. We love the horse, he will be fine for what we need him for. Aspen Ranch has multiple better business bureau complaints (found this out after the fact) for doing the same thing - Google will allow you to see. Jann wanted nothing to do with hearing me out about this. She kept defending "Kyle" saying he would never do that. ANY horse person with experience would know the moment they got on that horse in a trot there was an issue. If this were an isolated case that would be different, but its not. She did not care. She hung up on me then called me RIGHT back to let me know when I could talk to her "rationally" then I could call back. No thanks, Jann. My family and I will take our money and go with honest DEPENDABLE people from now on. I hope this can help someone else out in the future. Its a great place for a seller. This lady will have your back, clearly. But buyers beware.

The food was good not great , breakfast was served warm not hot . I liked the road side dinner feel of the restaurant. If your in a hurry I'd look elsewhere for a quick breakfast, I'll give them another try for breakfast again at some point before I decide to keep them on or off the breakfast rotation list

Okay. Wow. I understand why this unlikely spot has great reviews…read more It's located in the Livestock Commission building and depending on the time of day or year, you might be dodging piles of stuff in the parking lot, so you know it's an authentic experience. The cattle and horse trailers can take up a good share of the parking lot. It's an unassuming cafe, no frills really, but its meant for the business of the building it's located in. If you want fancy, move along. What Hitt's the Spot does well is the food. And the genuine interest in the customers. It obvious the regulars, both the workers and the customers have dealt with each other on a routine basis. You can't fake that comraderie. Having stopped in for breakfast and at a loss as to what option sounded best, I was directed to the corned beef hash. I was told it was house-made and that was good enough for me. I wasn't disappointed. First, the portions are not skimpy. It was large chunks of corned beef, nicely shredded potatoes and large pieces of onion. There was no mistaking this for the hash out of a can, either by appearance or taste. I look forward to coming by to try some other things.
