One of my favorite places to eat is Steve's Cafe for breakfast. I normally get either the Hunters or the Italian Joe plus my 2 sides. They are reasonably priced and the food is delicious. The hours are a little different because of staffing issues so we either go to one or the other. read more

Struggling w how this place has 4.5 stars. First our waitress was lovely. Very nice southern lady and the service was excellent. Now to the part we came here for. Food/breakfast to be exact. It's hard to screw up breakfast but man they did a fine job of doing that. "Most famous corned beef in MT" umm not even close. It was inedible. Way to salty. And burnt to a crisp. Basted eggs were over hard. Not basted. Biscuit could have been harder only if it was a bowling ball. My wife's pancakes were good and a large enough portion to share. Pretty disappointed. At least the service was spot on. read more

Cute place, reminds me of my first job. Food is good. Reason for the lower in stars though is because of the server. An order for one kind of sandwich was made and a completely different one was brought out. When questioned, an excuse was given of it "basically the same" and "it's cheaper than the other". Then when asked to bring it back, slight attitude was given. On top of that, the same kind of sandwich was brought out, just minus one thing. At that point I just didn't want to argue cause I was that hungry. I understand the logic, but it doesn't matter cause it was not what was ordered. Had she suggested it instead of just changing it w/out asking, maybe that would be different. But the fact that this is the way it went, is what turned me off about this experience. read more

Great food Never had a bad experience at either location. My favorite is Eggs Benedict Service is always on point and pleasant read more

Coffee was delicious, food was great, service was amazing. I had eggs, bacon, hashbrowns, and fruit. The fruit was fresh and crisp, the eggs were cooked perfect and the hashbrowns were the perfect combo of crispy and tender. Cozy and comfortable atmosphere. Would go again. read more

Service was amazing!!! Allie was so friendly, professional, knowledgeable and attentive!!! Every server should be like her she's the ideal server!! Food was fresh, delicious, great portions and quick!! We're here visiting from Washington and wish we had such amazing food and service there!! They were closed Monday and Tuesday, not sure if that's from COVID or new hours, but we didn't know that information until we showed up. So I wanted to include that here read more

Delicious breakfast, reasonably priced, friendly service. Highly recommend Steve's Cafe for breakfast

Great food, great staff, very busy in the morning on weekends. Expect a wait. Not much room to wait indoors at Custer location, so most folk stand outside. Observe weather if attempting breakfast on the weekend. read more

Closed Monday and Tuesday. Sign on window says "Open Daily" Hours posted on the door say Monday and Tuesday "Closed" read more

Great food. I had the Huckleberry Stuffed French toast with bacon and eggs over easy. Eggs were perfect - they use extra large eggs. Bacon was not as crispy as I like, but I did not specify. My husband had a meat lovers omelet - it looked amazing. Hash browns were crispy and pancakes were great. Service was good - not very attentive or I would have given 5 stars. read more

Loved it! Not huge and they move through the people. Wonderful staff! Everyone was so thoughtful, quick and friendly. I had the Rueben. DELICIOUS! My friend had fish and chips. Awesome. Prices are spot on for portion. Absolutely recommend you stop by! read more

Excellent service, food, and value! Our waitress never let our coffee cups go empty! Wish we lived closer, would eat there a lot

Great food and great service. I'd highly recommend getting their pancakes, but everything I've tried has been great.

Very good food, fast service. Just what a traditional breakfast place should be. Two thumbs up.

Tasty food, friendly staff, great prices. I love the light menu, perfect meal size:)

Great food if you live in the area or just stopping through. This is a good place to stop and eat.

Never even got to sit down to rate the service or food but went in and put our name down for a table for 2. Was told 15 to 20 minutes, so we waited. As we waited, probably 8 parties came in to check in, and wouldn't you believe it, only a 15 to 20 minute wait for them to. After 30 minutes of waiting, another couple came in and was told 15 to 20 but waited 3 minutes and got sat. Obviously had an inside connection, but we just waited. At 40 minutes, we left hungry and no longer wonder why it's been years since going to Steve's Cafe. read more

The food here is good and they have a lot of gluten free options which I was really happy about. We had a server that was really slow, nice enough but so many people that got seated after us got their food way before us. We enjoyed the food and I know that restaurants are having a hard time with staffing but it really does affect the experience. Anyway had huckleberry pancakes with huckleberry sauce and since I don't have pancakes very often it was a nice treat! We also enjoyed homemade corned beef and chicken Apple sausage. I would stop here again. read more

Great food and service. $12.95 for eggs, sausage, hash browns & toast seems a little extreme, but it's pay or stay home.

This was a great little café. Staff was friendly and hard working. We both had omelettes and I had a biscuit with honey and it was very good. Highly recommend this place for breakfast. read more

Needed a pit stop along our road trip and saw that this had good reviews. Happy we gave it a chance. Seated right away and very attentive service. In and out in about 30 minutes. The food was good. Definitely enjoyed our chicken sandwiches (fried and buffalo). Recommend if you're looking for good food and good service. read more

Another gold mine in Montana! We started our normal Yelp search for breakfast. It brought us to Steve's Cafe on Custer. We arrived a bit past 11:30 AM just as the lunch rush was gaining momentum. The staff was polite, friendly, helpful, courteous - get the point? The entire facility is warm and welcoming. They made us feel like family! OMG the menu is vast and it took a while to make our selections. Garden omelette with hash browns and pancakes for the hubby. I had their house made chicken and apple sausage and two eggs with hash browns and pancakes. The serving sizes are huge! The omelette was thick and fluffy and stuffed with lots of veggies. They included plenty of cheddar cheese. The chicken apple sausage was HUGE! Think two to three of your normal store bought. The meat was low fat but rich in flavor! The sugar finish was brown sugar I think. They sell their house made sausages - 3 for $5.25, a great deal in my mind. Now to my favs! The hash browns were Yukon golds - shredded and grilled with a nice outer crisp. The eggs were cooked perfectly! And the pancakes were thick and fluffy! They serve them with a nice brown sugar syrup is my best guess. Try it - you will love it! read more

Great food, amazing service. I had eggs Benedict - - Yum! Hubby had a delicious BLT. We go thru Helena a lot, so this will be a regular stop now! Home cooking at its finest. Thanks STEVE! read more

The pancakes inordered were so tough, it was a struggle to cut them up. I ordered huckleberry pancakes and the huckleberries came to me in a bowl. I assumed they would have been in the batter. read more

I was very surprised, usually a cafe serves basic breakfast food that's made with basic ingredients. This cafe was pretty dang tasty. I was very excited to find out there breakfast sausages were made in house and you can order all three of them in one meal. Being the meat eater that I am I was extremely happy with the turn out. Three huge sausages delivered on one plate, plus my eggs and hash browns on another. I felt like Ron Swanson on parks and rec. "When I eat, it's the food that is scared." There where three different types of homemade sausages: apple wood chicken, Not my best Italian sweet sausage , kinda my best Mexican chipotle sausage, theeee Best!!!!! Service was awesome and food was amazing. Thanks guys for a wonderful breakfast!!! read more

Extremely nice staff. Great food. Great price. In and out. Sat at the breakfast bar. Best breakfast I've had in helena

I came back, avoided the pancakes obviously. I had coffee and toast. I didn't get sick or anything, so overall it was an awesome meal.

Really good breakfast and great service. Not very busy at 10am which was nice. Corned beef hash was excellent.

Very good! Bathrooms are very clean, and their strawberry waffles are delicious. And coffee is made fresh and hot. 10/10

Generous portions are a trademark of this restaurant. I've enjoyed hearty omelettes at both locations for years. The Eggs Benedict would be superb if they used homemade Hollandaise sauce. read more

It's hard to find fluffy non box tasting pancakes but these were perfect. It's a small hometown cafe probably named after Steve. The waitress was friendly and fast the coffee tasted fresh. I like to try different items each time but I'll probably just have the pancakes again. The place was clean read more

Steve's is a great place to eat. They have a wide selection of food on their menu, and most of the food is prepared in house. There are definitely some things I've had on the menu that I like better than others, but I've never been let down or disappointed with any meal. A couple of my favs are the corned beef & the garden omelette (without olives, add mushroom). But, I like the homemade sausage & pancakes too - yum! I've always had a good experience with the staff. They are very friendly and professional. My food always comes out to me quick and the waiting staff takes good care of you throughout the meal. read more

Nice little American cafe. Had a delicious Ruben. Friendly waitress, and quick service.

I visited Steve's Cafe with Mr. Hottie and the Lovely Erin on a beautiful Helena, MT morning. I was pouting a bit because I wasn't my usual diva-goddess self and didn't have time to get all dolled up for breakfast. Well we walked in to a quaint cafe and were immediatley greeted. There were two other gentlemen waiting ahead of us. One of them commented to me that it was busy today and then he turned, looked at me and said "Wow, you look pretty!" *DING* Who wants french toast?!?! I was immediatley excited for breakfast! We were seated in a booth and were waited on by a friendly waitress. I ordered 2 eggs over easy, hashbrowns, a biscuit with gravy and 1 piece of french toast. Everything was A-OK! The only complaint I had was that the biscuit wasn't open. It was just a biscuit with gravy on top. I like my biscuit open so the gravy goodness can soak the soft insides! MMmm. Everything else was solid! The cafe did not slow down at all. It had patrons coming in and out during our whole visit. I read their lunch special and it sounded delicious! Steve's Cafe is a solid choice for a non-chain breakfast! The menu is simple and the meals are good! I hope to visit Steve's for lunch to try their comfort food offerings sometime! read more

Steve's Cafe - My yummy breakfast! - Cafes Near Me - Helena, Montana

Though it took a bit to get a seat it was worth the wait. The most difficult part of eating here was finding parking and finding a place to stand while waiting. The place was packed and it seemed to be a lot of local regulars. The waiter came over quickly with water and menus. We asked for a few moments and away he went. The place was hoping both customers and staff. Tables did not stay dirty for long once someone left - they cleaned and seated the next folks as soon as possible. When the waiter came back we gave him our order. The food came out quickly and we soon realized that the portions were larger than we were hungry! The food was good, we all sampled each others orders. if you go and are not really hungry split something or plan to take left overs. Since we were on the road we had to leave it. read more

Best breakfast I have ever had. Ruth was the best waitress ever. Will be back next time in Helena.

Found this place by searching yelp and reading the reviews. The first time here I had the Huckleberry stuffed French Toast and it was amazing. The coffee is very good, I'm not one that likes strong coffee and this was just right. Very clean and I thought it was reasonable for the quality of food they served. I have stopped here 3 other times to eat breakfast in the past 2 months so they have won me. read more
