    Classic wall sign and neon makes it easy to find at morning or night

    A fixture for many years on Old 287 (Main Street) and a place we frequently patronized in the 1980s. Decades later Smith's Place has changed --it expanded. But the friendly neighborhood vibe remains as well as great road and bar food at very reasonable prices. We stopped on a weekend for breakfast and just beat the crowd. The huge cinnamon roll pleased one in my party; another had the traditional Montana breakfast of bacon, eggs, hash browns. I went for a skillet--an item not there 39 years ago. A perfect blending of three eggs over easy with lots of bacon and peppers chopped into a mound of hash browns. Wow, what value, what taste, what a generous serving. Kept me going the rest of the day. Coffee was not bad either and the service--although few staff and quite busy, never sagged. Here is a place to experience and enjoy at any time of the day.

    Been to this historic eatery more than once over the years, and strongly recommend this place for breakfast. On our first visit, six of us were on our way to another breakfast facility, but found it closed. We decided to give this place a try. We stepped into a brunch bonanza. It's rare to have six different meals served and not have one critical comment about any of them. Our meals were well prepared, freshly made, and garnered raves from everyone. Of special note was the $10 daily special...a large prime rib with eggs. When I tasted it, I wanted to steal it from my Grandson's plate. He quickly discouraged me with knife and fork in hand. Our server (Dawn) could not have been any more helpful. The only drawback was the restrooms...shared with the bar next door. They were filthy. Next time we will stop at a bush before we go in. Our recent breakfast here was as good as our previous meals. Man, if they have the prime rib and eggs available, do it. We have identified our favorite bush, and it served it's purpose, so I can't comment on the state of the men's room.

Once I saw it on the menu I had to get the GIGANTIC PRETZEL (GP). It was gigantic and it was a pretzel. Great crispy outside and soft warm perfectly cooked inside. Get it, you won't regret it. We all loved it and the queso and hot mustard were a great match. I had the wings, buffalo sauce, and it came with fries. Both were really good. So much food I only ate 4 wings and 1/2 the fries. GP still weighing heavy in my gullet! The Wife had the Classic Mac and Cheese - nice taste but Luke warm instead of hot. Should have sent back to warm up. Her choice. The Kid had the brisket sandwich and garlic parm fries. The sandwich was so big., she ate 1/2 and hardly touched her fries. The fries were delish, as I had to sample a couple for review purposes. The Friend had a Buffalo chicken salad and The Other Friend had enchiladas. Both enjoyed their meals and had leftovers as the servings are generous. Great Time. Great Food. Great Service. Go! Eat Very Well!! HAVE FUN!!!

I'm hoping Brooklynn is new to the service profession. She seemed very distracted, forgetting to bring coffee after three requests and never returning with a soda refill. Singing "Na Na Hey Hey" as customers were trying to leave also felt unprofessional and out of place. Great food, but the service definitely needs improvement. Do better

The kitchen clearly takes pride in what they send out, and it shows. That's why it's such a shame the service side didn't live up to the same standard. Service was noticeably lacking from start to finish. Our table wasn't given cutlery, and no one came back to offer water or drink refills. We had to keep looking around for help, but staff were largely gathered together talking instead of checking on guests. The seating area was uncomfortably cold due to an overhead door being left open. When we politely asked if it could be closed, we were told others wanted it open -- even though there were only two other people nearby. It felt more like a staff preference than a guest-comfort decision. What stood out most was that we felt like an inconvenience rather than welcomed customers. It's nice to hear staff enjoying their day, but when five or six employees are standing around chatting while tables go unattended, it sends the wrong message. With service that matched the quality of the food, this restaurant could be a real standout. I hope management tightens up the floor service -- the kitchen deserves that support.
