great service. Typical small town cafe atmosphere. Onion rings were delicious! My burger couldn't have been more well done, but maybe it was because it was the lite (smaller) patty that it was over cooked. I will need to try again to get a better sense. read more

The Griddle - Wow. Great breakfast. Gary's Omelet with gravy on the side. Fast service in a cool small town diner. - New American Near Me - Shelby, Montana

This was a great stop. We hit the Griddle right at lunch time and were able to get seated right away. I started with some coffee. I don't know what the blend was, but it tasted great. It was the perfect pick-me-up for a cold day. The burgers were delicious, nice and juicy! The mushroom Swiss was perfectly topped. I'll definitely stop next time I'm in town! read more

Great service by lone server. She does a great job!! Both Kathi and I had the western omelet. Hers was a scramble, mine was a classic. Both were fantastic. The one pancake was the size of the plate and fluffy and delicious!! Will return if ever we are here again read more

Good omelette and hash brown. Service is also apt. I dined at the counter and found the seat comfortable.

The eggs and hash browns were amazing. The service was awesome except when I ordered a chicken fried steak breakfast and was served a hamburger steak not even battered covered in gravy. The gravy was delicious as well but someone selling me on a hamburger steak that is pan cooked no breading and almost 1" thick that she said was a really tenderized cube steak. read more

I am glad to be staying in Shelby for two days because the Griddle serves an awesome breakfast with even better service. Their ham and their bacon is delicious and the pancake is just tremendously tasty. I'm already eager for breakfast tomorrow. read more

The Griddle - Store front - New American Near Me - Shelby, Montana

Holy Cow! Before dropping someone off at the train station, they offered to by me breakfast. So, I yelped, and found this dandy dining experience! First off, everyone smiles and welcomes you whether coming or going, or staff. It was a really nice feeling to have so many polite and welcoming people in one place. And, it does make the eating experience all the more enjoyable. My friend has the egg omelette. She could not stop talking about how good the cheese was. It was creamy and fresh and, well yummy!!!! I thought I was going to have a half plate breakfast; one egg, half a meat (ham), crispy (homemade fresh) hash-browns, and one pancake. I figured I needed to start downsizing my portions for the new year.....OMG! When the meal was served, I was astounded by the absolute size and magnificence of the pancake (see pic)! And, it was DELICIOUS! There is not much better than a perfectly cooked, fluffy (not cake-y), moist, delicious pancake! This was it!!!!! The egg was cooked perfectly, the has-browns were wonderful, and the ham was yummy and, not dry! The server was friendly, funny, informative, and efficient. Overall, YES! I highly recommend this local treasure! read more

Folks get off the highway and get downtown and eat at the griddle, the LOCAL place. Great service, great food at fair prices. One of the best meals we had in MT on our ten day trip. Open 7 days a week but think closes Sunday at 2 after church crowd. If you look at my reviews I do not give out 5 stars lightly. read more

We had a Veggie Scramble with wheat toast, Was excellent, plenty of veggies, including mushrooms & cheese. 2 Eggs medium with Bacon & scrumptious Lemon Muffin, very nice, crisp bacon & a good size too. Ham & Scrambled Eggs with Rye toast, order was messed up & ended up with a Ham Scramble instead, but the owner didn't charge, because of the mixup. 2 Eggs fried over easy with breakfast steak, grilled lightly & wheat toast. We all had coffee, brewed& nicely done. One of the few places, where I can say they actually did have good coffee. Small hometown cafe, pleasant atmosphere. Nice folks, who own & run the place. Lots of locals. Clean & cozy. read more

What an unassuming place but a huge surprise for the food. Don't be in a hurry as it takes a while to get service and the food delivered to your table, but its all worth the wait. The food is delicious. We ordered breakfast pancakes (absolutely delicious)and eggs and sausage. The pancakes are enormous so one will fill you. The sausage was delicious as well but should have ordered the bacon (just like the locals). Don't miss the cinnamon rolls. The locals knew to order those as well. We will definitely order them on our return trip. read more

Nice little town diner for breakfast! A good variety of typical breakfast food. I appreciated the French toast meals which allowed me to get a slice of French toast, eggs, and sausage and was just the right amount. Service was excellent, too! read more

Popped in today for a burger. It was delicious. The staff is great!! Some may even say entertaining with the sporadic serenade. It's nice to see happy people working. Thanks guys for the great food and service!! read more

This is the kind of place we always hope to find while traveling. My wife, our two teenage kids and I stopped here for breakfast while on the road. Extremely clean. It was a Sunday and they were busy, but the service was amazing. Our waiter always had a smile and did a great job of taking care of everyone. Our food was all great, and the portions were large. Great selection of breakfast items. Our service was so great that my wife gave our waiter about a 50% tip and you would have thought we had given him the world. He was worth it. I wish this place was closer to home. A gem of an old fashioned American café. read more

The Griddle - New American Near Me - Shelby, Montana

I went to The Griddle for lunch while working in Shelby, and this is by far the best place in town I have eaten. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger, but got it on grilled sourdough instead of the bun. It was a great hamburger. Cooked perfectly, perfect amount of fat. The bacon was excellent, and the sourdough topped it all off great. The homemade fries were well cooked, not greasy. For two hamburgers, a cup of soup and a Pepsi was $21.15. The service was good, everyone was friendly. I am going to go back for breakfast before I leave on Friday. read more

Excellent fresh homemade food and reasonable prices. We had the daily special of tuna melt, clam chowder and chips for $6.95. Great taste and service with a smile. And my favorite Diet Coke ! Had a side salad with delicious raspberry vinaigrette. Would eat here again. read more

Had breakfast for lunch here, and this place blew my socks off. In a tiny little town in N Montana, I had the best bacon I ever had and the eggs, hash browns, and service were all excellent. The high reviews are all legit. This place is a 5 star restaurant. read more

Decided to eat here based on other reviews. Did not disappoint. The bacon is worth it all by itself! Biscuits were light, gravy needed no added seasoning, Gary's omelet large and fresh. Highly recommend The Griddle for breakfast - clean establishment with attentive service. read more

We were headed to the boarder and running really late. I was looking for a place to quickly stop for breakfast. I called the Griddle and asked if they could do a take out order of breakfast sandwiches. The sweet gal on the phone said they don't have breakfast sandwiches on the menu but they could put some together for us. 10 minutes later we pull up and they had 5 amazing bacon, egg, cheese English muffin sandwiches ready to go. Condiments and coffee to boot. Wow, what service and the sandwiches were awesome. I think each sandwich had 2 slices of really thick all meat bacon. Highly recommend stopping here. read more

Breakfast! Best chicken fried steak anywhere. Tender and no gristle. Thick flavorful bacon! Four strips and so thick wife said she should have ordered the half meat as two slices equal five anywhere else. read more

Best bacon and pancakes, ever! True, hard to screw up breakfast too much - but these folks rocked it in the classic sense. I asked for well done bacon (crispy, no uncooked fat) and they delivered perfectly. This seems to be surprisingly hard for other cooks to manage. Atmosphere is typical small town diner in what is a very small town on the HiLine, but don't let that keep you from checking them out. read more

I had a nice breakfast of bacon, perfectly basted eggs, crisp hash browns, and toast this morning. Great service for our large class reunion group as well. They were kind enough to let us reserve the banquet room. My friend had the French toast and it was wonderfully prepared as well. Thanks! read more
