Cinnamon rolls! We had breakfast/lunch and everything was good to excellent. The cinnamon roll was definitely worth the calories! Biscuits & gravy was superb. The beef dip was an ok effort but would not order again. Definitely a coffee shop vibe with excellent service. Our server was super capable and friendly. read more

This is the 3rd time that we've been here that the food as been subpar. We had been coming to Stella's for years and were always happy with both the service and the food. Lately, their food has been very expensive and lackluster, overcooked and overpriced. We went this morning and my husband's tater tots were either very overcooked or very old. Not appealing. My toast was very dense and did not taste like rye. It was just very....meh. For $50, and that's insane. I think we might stop coming here. Such a disappointment. read more

Great food. Service was great and the setting feels like a restaurant should. Would recommend highly.

We arrived early and midweek. No wait!! Our server was just ok. Had to ask him for a lot of things from cream for the coffee, refill for the coffee and even the check. He failed to tell us we pay him! Overlook that and come for the food. Portions are generous. The cinnamon roll was delicious! Street parking available. It's literally located next door to a Best Western hotel. read more

Stella's Kitchen & Bakery - Apple Chicken avocado salad and BLT - Sandwiches Near Me - Billings, Montana

This place is kinda legendary with CDT hikers. This is the place that is right beside Best Western in Billings. If you drive here there really isn't anywhere to park. There is a parking deck across the street that cost two bucks. Best to just stay at the hotel and come here for breakfast. I ate here twice while visiting. The first time waited forever for a table but once we were seated it was good. Our server was nice and had worked there along time. The food was very good. I got the French toast and it was awesome. The second time they messed up my eggs but I'm one of the weird guys that orders my eggs well done so I'm used to it. I would give this five stars if not for the parking situation. read more

After walking in the state and federal parks nearby, I was starved for lunch. We walked in to Stella's and it felt like we were transported back in time to the 70s. We were seated after a couple of minutes. After being seated, we learned that Stella's only does breakfast on Sundays, so while that sounds limiting, it really isn't because there is a ton to choose from. I ordered the biscuits and gravy that was served with eggs cooked to your liking and bacon. It was so good, and so filling. They have a huge bakery selection as well, including cinnamon rolls the size of your head. They looked so good but I was too full for another bite! read more

This place truly is a hidden gem in the middle of nowhere. When I came to billings, I had very low expectations for food, and honestly I still do lmaoo. BUT Stella's definitely exceeded my expectations. The food was delicious. I ordered the French toast combo and the French toast here was DELICIOUS. As soon as took my first bite I couldn't stop. I killed the whole plate lmaoo. My friend I was with looked at me like I was crazy by how fast I inhaled the plate. The service here was great but the only thing I didn't like was part of my order was wrong. I order over medium eggs with no cheese. I ended up getting scrambled eggs with cheese. Other than than the vibe here is that of a traditional mid-west diner. Make sure you pick up some of their baked goods before you leave! They're all made in-house and are yummy! read more

We went to Stella's Kitchen & Bakery for a weekend breakfast since the hotel we stayed at offered vouchers for breakfast. Even at 8AM, this place was exceptionally busy, with multiple people waiting inside and out for seats. We managed to get in within 15 minutes but I bet the wait would be longer for larger groups. Cinnamon Roll ($5.25) - Although our breakfast entrees were complimentary, we opted to order an extra cinnamon roll given how good they looked. They sell these cinnamon rolls in the front of the establishment, wrapped in saran wrap, for people to take to-go. If you order at the table, they take one of those, remove the wrapper, place it on a plate, and stick it in the microwave to warm up. There are three types of cinnamon rolls you can choose from - original, frosted, or caramel walnut. The frosted is the most popular, and that's what we went with. The cinnamon rolls baked at Stella's are quite large, something like 5 or 6 inches across. And this is for the normal sized roll - they even have a larger jumbo roll if you want! Since they heat the roll up, the frosting softens and runs all around and down the sides. A knob of whipped butter is included on the side for additional richness. The cinnamon roll overall is sweet but not cloying and the interior is soft, chewy, and rich, and has the perfect amount of cinnamon. What a delicious start to our meal. (4/5) Half Order of Biscuits & Gravy (Included with hotel stay) - This entree comes with a single biscuit with gravy, hash browns, and one egg any style. Starting with the hash browns - so many diners serve sad and soggy hash browns. These, on the other hand, are crisped up excellently on the faces, while the interior remains soft and fluffy. Delicious. For the egg, I ordered it over medium but it was cooked over easy with the yolk completely runny. Not a lot of places cook over medium eggs properly, and unfortunately Stella's gets added to that list. The sausage gravy tastes like it's made in house. It's savory, meaty, peppery and not overly salted. The weakest part of the dish is unfortunately the biscuit. It's dense and dry, even though it's served split in half to maximize the surface area, and reminds me of a cheap hotel breakfast biscuit. While Stella's bakes a lot of items in house, I have a feeling that this is a commercially purchased biscuit given the texture. (4/5) Ham & Cheese Omelette (Included with hotel stay) - This comes with the aforementioned omelette, hash browns, and toast. The omelette is gigantic - while they do fold it over the large half of the omelette on top, it's still very big. I'd guess at least 4 eggs went into this monstrosity. The omelette is very fluffy and is a bit risen, almost like it's been steamed a bit. It's completely filled with cubes of ham and cheddar cheese, and topped with even more. There is a ton of filling, which creates lots of cheese pull. The hash browns are same as with the first dish and there's not really much to say about the toast, other than that it's been buttered and then toasted. It's served with two pats of standard Smucker's strawberry jam. (5/5) I would have checked out the bakery case more thoroughly, but I was stuffed and couldn't bear the sight of more food. They do sell a variety of breads, all pre-sliced and bagged, and the majority of their pastries are wrapped in saran wrap. I think a lot of items sell pretty briskly, since we saw bakers continuously bringing out more items to fill the case. Overall Stella's serves a very solid breakfast. The fact that the hotel gives you a voucher for food here makes it very attractive for future stays in the area. read more

I was told about this place by a few co workers of mine. They wouldn't stop raving about the giant HEAD-SIZED cinnamon rolls, so you know i had to go see for myself! Lets just say they were not exaggerating about the cinnamon rolls being as big as your head!!! It came out hot and fresh, butter melting, icing dripping goodness. If you are ever in Billings i recommend coming here. Our server was fast and knowledgeable, and checked on us from time to time. He kept our glasses filled at all times! It felt warm and cozy in there. They had many more options of food to choose from but i came for the cinnamon rolls. I couldn't finish all of it so i took the remainder to go. I didn't even need to warm it up later on. Even after a couple hours it was still fresh, and not stale at all! Also, they have freshly squeezed orange juice!! read more

You have to try the cinnamon roll! One of the best (if not the best) I've ever had. The staff were very attentive and friendly. Would definitely return! read more

The service was vvvverrryyyy sllloowwwww for a weekday lunch. And not even like it took the food a long time to come, but like we were seated for 20 mins and finally had to go find a waitress to bring us water. Oh well, maybe it was an off day! Everyone loved their food! Three of us got the huckleberry crepe; I'm not normally a big crepe person but I just had to try one and it was so delicious! I definitely recommend trying it. We got some loaves of bread to go and they were quite yummy! read more

Before I start whining like a big fat baby, let me state that I LOVE Stella's. My wife and I have breakfast here every time we are in Billings. We've never tried lunch or dinner, so I can't speak on their other menu items, but their breakfasts are simply fantastic! Hands down the best breakfast in downtown Billings and maybe the entire city. (The High Horse comes in at a close second place.) Our servers have always been friendly and hustling like crazy to keep up with the constant rush of breakfast customers. There never seems to be enough help for the gaggles of breakfast-goers. Prices are reasonable. In fact, I would say more than reasonable for the massive portions you receive. Okay...now for the whining. Stella's REALLY REALLY REALLY needs to figure something out for the rush of people that descend on the restaurant during the breakfast hours. Their waiting area is way too small, with one short bench for seating that will accommodate six people. Otherwise, it is standing room only. There is more seating in the foyer, which is fine in mild weather, but in the wintertime it is frigid! There is ALWAYS a wait to be seated! I've never walked in the door when there hasn't been a crowd of people standing in the doorway, waiting for their names to be called to a table. Most of the time it's about 15-20 minutes, but sometimes it's 30-45 minutes. It seems like things could be rearranged to make more room for seating in the waiting area. Also...maybe a complimentary coffee and/or pastry station? People really get grouchy after being crammed together like that, especially with the delicious aroma of bacon, eggs, coffee, etc. drifting out from the kitchen/dining area. "Hangry" describes it perfectly. It doesn't help that options for breakfast are so few and far between in Billings. Especially in the downtown area. There are a couple other joints to get breakfast downtown, but they pale in comparison to Stella's. Okay...enough complaining. We will absolutely be back to Stella's for breakfast. The food is just too delicious to pass up! read more

My breakfast at Stella's Kitchen & Bakery was delicious. It was the perfect place to take my parents, the prices were reasonable and everyone at our table enjoyed their meals. Chicky provided great service with a smile. The restaurant has a nice shaded outside seating area too. The menu had a lot of great selections so it was difficult to choose my order. I had the huckleberry crepes, which were very tasty (and I would order them again). My husband enjoyed his chicken salad sandwich. The food brought out to the tables around us all looked really good and I wanted to try all of those entrees too. We left with a cinnamon roll and a peach pie, which were both really, really good. I will definitely be back soon. read more

Currently on a business road trip, walked a block from my hotel and found this place. Was seated almost at once even with a full house. My sever was Lori G. She was the nicest, friendliest server, very sweet and attentive. I feel bad for not getting a picture of my order, but was hungry and the breakfast smelt so good! I had the #1 Crepes-Huckleberry topping and eggs with a very delicious beacon side. Everything was prefect! Maybe a bit out of the way for some, off the freeway a ways, but I strongly say it's with it!! Since I'm here for 3 days, may even come for dinner and try that! Footnote: They are also a bakery, breads, cookies, biscuits and some of the biggest cinnamon rolls I have ever seen! Good ole country ambience, and clean! A hidden gem but looks like the locals know it! read more

Always great for , had the burrito, great as usual. The bake goods are the best in Billings.

Let me start by saying I adore Stella's. It has always been a pleasant experience and the food is always above and beyond. However today was a disappointing experience due to your Monday morning crew at the front counter. For whatever reason they were very unfriendly and unhelpful, and we waited over a half an hour to get seated even though there were plenty of tables open. We were a group of seven adults and four kids. We were respectful and patient, but the vibe from the front crew was appalling. read more

We were staying across the street and when we checked the website it said no wait but when we came to eat the wait was forty five minutes to an hour. It would be nice if the website has a wait time timer on it should be updated regularly. We've been coming for years and now that everyone has found it is really hard to get in. Consistently good food but the wait times are becoming prohibitive. read more

The pancakes were the star of my breakfast! Fast and courteous service, good coffee, and it was just I needed on a snowy morning. I took a cinnamon roll for the road as breakfast was so filling, but when I had it later it was not quite as amazing as I had hoped. If I'm in town again, I would love to try more of their baked goods for another shot to win my heart. read more

This place is very popular because it is very good. There is a patio with garage doors to open to the outside but not today as it isn't quite warm enough. My server Toni was friendly and efficient. The latte was excellent and a pleasant surprise for a restaurant. The huckleberry crepes were tasty but I thought the crepes could be thinner; they are more like Swedish pancakes. read more

Sat waiting in lobby for 30 minutes on a Sunday for them to text me when they were ready for us. It was busy. The system knocked us off once and had to be reinserted into the electronic waiting line. Finally got our seats and the waitress informed us that it would be another 30 minutes before we could get our food. She said she was sorry about it and I told her it wasn't her fault and to tell management to get it's act together. We got up and went to Bernies and got right in. Every Sunday is usually busy for most restaurants. Those of you in management at Stella's should know this. Other places seem to handle this just fine as a result of being managed well. This was our 1st time here. You failed at first impression. My wife wants to give it one more try in the middle of the week but I'm not optimistic. read more
