cool bar, owners husband & wife Wife is extremely unpleasant , been here 4 times in the span of 7 years and each time it was extremely uncomfortable. not sure if she's just a miserable person. but seems like it! i don't do negative reviews unless it was memorably awful and it was, kept giving it another try but it was the same outcome. read more

Steak, salad, bread, and potatoes were delicious and the staff is friendly. Steak was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. We paid the $7 to split the steak dinner and I paid to get my potato loaded. Restaurant, bar, and bathrooms are very clean. We drive through Lima a handful of times a year and eat at the cafe when it's open. We didn't know about The Peat until today. Will definitely continue to go there. Thank you! read more

The Peat Steakhouse & Saloon - My kind of place. - Steakhouses Near Me - Lima, Montana

Good food and service. The place is rustic and interesting. I recommend the steak sandwich.

Being the only place open for a meal in Lima, I was inclined to come back later on in the evening for another. When I arrived the second time I was greeted with the bartender telling me "we only serve you one meal a day" yet when I left earlier the other bartender told me to come back later on. I don't know what he meant when he specifically said you but it didn't exactly rub me the right way. read more

As a thru-hiker on the Continental Divide Trail, this was one of my favorite stops. Food was amazing. One of the most memorable steaks I have ever had. Ambience was classic western bar. Great vibe. Really nice people and great service. Pizza and salad the perfect appetizers. Would recommend this place to anyone I know who will be with of 100 miles of Lima. read more

Quaint, historic place with quality food and service!! Definitely recommend!!! Old saloon in downtown Lima. read more

An amazing spot if you're nearby. The steaks are excellent, and so is everything that comes along with them. Also of note: you can get a second share plate (which includes the sides) for just a few bucks, which makes splitting a larger steak a lot more appealing. Go early, expect to take your time and have a drink or two if they're swamped, and enjoy the hospitality! read more

After having vehicle issues on the continental divide we found this amazing place with a roaring fire, free pool, a kids area/stage, and delicious steak sandwiches, loaded potatoes, and beer. The service was great and our boy had a good time meeting a young lady from Canada..The Peat is only open in the evenings, but was worth every dollar. read more

Best steak in Montana!!!! Service is fantastic and the owner is great. The Big Sheep pizza is delicious as well!!! Strongly recommend trying this place out. read more

I was here with my coworkers and was having a great time, I thought the decor was really cute and everyone we met was nice. The food was great too. However, towards the end of our time there someone who I think was the owner's wife (Shay maybe?) picked a drunken fight with one of our coworkers over basically nothing, insulting her and us, yelling at us, insulting our clothing, and calling us names. It was really uncomfortable and completely soured our experience, which is a shame because the rest of the staff were so nice and accommodating, including the bartender and the guy who seemed like the owner. She was being quite immature and hostile, saying that we should "go back to where we came from" and telling us to get out. We ended up just paying and leaving. In the two months I've been in Montana I've never felt so unwelcome and insulted. From other reviews it seems like this is a regular occurrence. I wish I could give this place a higher rating but I don't think I'll ever go back due to this experience. read more

I had one of the worst customer service experiences in my life ever here. I came in the restaurant and was waiting to be seated and with no service after awhile I awkwardly sat myself down. After some time waiting, I said hi to the waitress as she walked by and she looked at me and walked away without a saying a word. Then after a few minutes I walked to the bartender and said, "can I see a menu please." The waitress who was standing next to the bartender there yelled at me, "we are busy, so sit down or leave. Or just leave"!" She was very rude and angry. So I left without saying a word back to such sudden angry hostility. Why yell to a customer to leave when politely asking for a menu? Horrible customer service. read more

The food is amazing! The pizza is top notch. Kabobs are very good. The management is HORRIBLE. They treat their customers like crap. Management never greets returning customers or thanks them for coming in. I feel bad for their staff having to work for her. Hopefully the owners will step in and help her out a bit. I have been coming to the Peat for over 30 years and the way I was treated this last week I can't go back until I hear that Shea received and attitude adjustment from the owners. read more

Horrible crappy owner Shay screaming at patrons and staff.. food was ok but cold.. accused patron of rudeness when he did nothing .. keep going to Spencer grill.. read more

This place is so cute and authentic. They cook your steak on an open grill rt near the bar and it was delicious. Loved the feel of the whole place read more

We were traveling through the area and just plain hungry! We saw the reviews, so knew we had to stop. Do not let the rustic (VERY rustic) exterior and interior fool you. This is a first-rate operation! Excellent service! Carly was such a delight! Trevor is the master bartender - checking in with us several times. But the "show" is the guy on the grill. The grill is in the middle of the room. Watching him meticulously preparing the food is like watching a master in action - he precisely adds grill marks to the toast, perfectly sears and seasons meats. Wow. After cooling off with a frosty Blue Moon, we ordered a ribeye and an "extra plate" - which is an extra salad, potato and toast for $7 - a good value. I had originally just planned to have a few bites of the Hubbs' ribeye, but once I tasted it, I kept taking a little bit more! Seriously one of the best quality and flavorful steaks I've had in a long time. The salad dressings are house made. I loved the honey mustard. Seriously worth the trip. read more

What an oasis! After riding 50 miles bike packing on the hot desolate dusty roads into Lima, we found ourselves without a place to stay and had resigned to camping another night. As a Hail Mary, we called up The Peat and were so excited to snag a room with them. Not only were the accommodations exactly what we needed, clean beds and clean shower, the bar and restaurant were excellent! Hands down the best steak we've ever had. Blaine was such an attentive host and brilliant cook! The vibe was inviting and energizing! This place will be a must if we ever come through Lima again. Thank you to The Peat! read more

The Peat Steakhouse & Saloon - people sitting at the bar - Steakhouses Near Me - Lima, Montana

Best in Lima. Fun place with outstanding service. The cook yourself approach is fun. Gives more time to enjoy some beer and camaraderie. If Teaf or Ditto is there, put everything on their tab. Going strong despite Covid. Great service and take out. read more

F- this place. Owner accuses patrons of being rude and would not provide customer with reason for "rudeness". She then says we hadn't been here for over 2 1/2 hours, when we had been. This place sucks, the owners are horrible. Go else where. read more

Absolute gem! Spent two nights on a weekend hunting trip. Blaine and Shae are awesome. Food is down right amazing. Had the "Peatzah" the first night. All toping fresh and cooked to perfection. Went with the cook it yourself New York Strip the second. Great cuts on the beef, well trimmed. Tons of seasoning options and perfect heat on the grill. Everything done just right, down to the homemade salad dressings. The Buffalo wings are some of the best I have ever had. read more

want to start by saying that the food and majority of the staff were incredible! loved the pizza, good beer selection and great cocktails (shoutout the employee that came up with most of the drink menu! you're awesome!), free pool, seems like a perfect kind of place. we came as a large group and the peat did a great job of fitting us in even if it was a busy night which we really appreciated. the only downside is the owner, shay, who seemed to be looking for a fight with us the entire night. i've worked a lot of food service and know how hard it is to keep up a constantly friendly attitude towards customers, but the way we were treated by shay was unacceptable. we were given dirty looks by her pretty much since we first stepped in, but apparently my coworker asking her to not throw darts close to her head while she was trying to line up a shot on the pool table was the straw that broke the camel's back. shay immediately called my coworker a "b*tch", insulted both of our outfits (what is this, middle school?), told us all repeatedly that this was "her bar", got up real close to both of us, and, of course, finished up with the classic "go back where you came from". just saying, where i'm from, if you walk up with that kind of attitude you get your sh*t rocked. i worry about the day that this terrible attitude from the owner reaches someone else who's also looking for a fight. we payed our tab and left feeling really disappointed. can't thank the rest of the staff enough for being kind and accommodating! would have been a 5-star night! read more

A diamond in the rough! This place is amazing!! When we posted up in Lima for the night, we though, here we go... another night of chili at Jans... not so! The Peat is your traditional Montana Bar (good drinks, juke box, dead things on the wall...), but the one HUGE difference is you get to cook your own steak! Not many of these spots left in Montana (if any). The service was awesome! Drinks were made with cock-and-bull ginger beer, yum! Baked potato was perfect, steak was tasty, garlic bread, and a salad for $18. Don't forget to go over the tracks to the Peat! read more

What a hidden gem! Enjoyed watching the chef cook our steak perfectly. Great service and atmosphere.

Stopped by here while in Montana. There's not much I can say to do this place justice. Good meat, cook it yourself how you want it, good beer, and good times. If i come back through Lima again i will be stopping here. read more

We stopped here on our way through town on a long road trip. The service was fast, friendly, and delicious! They also have a great option where you can split a steak for a great price. I would highly recommend to anyone! Great stop and thanks for the awesome steak. read more

The best pizza! The streaks are pretty awesome, too! Friendly atmosphere. Definitely the place to be around here in the weekend.

"GET THE F*** OUT OF MY WAY!" Shay, the owner, screamed on a busy Saturday night. Embarrassing every patron sitting at the hot bar, next to an inconveniently placed grill in the middle of the floor. She turns to the bartender Trevor, "what's good on tap?" He looks at her incredulously and snears, "I don't care what you like and...I'm not recommending anything.." The End. read more

This place is a great Steak house pre Covid you could grill your locally sourced steak and vegetables. Now they grill it for you, but it still delicious read more

Found this hidden gem while we are waiting to supercharge our car. Ordered a rib eye steak shared by two people. One of the best steak I ever had. It was cooked to perfection. Meat was so fresh and melted in your mouth. Great and friendly service too! read more

I just finished a 4-day Backcountry Survival Class outside of Idaho Falls and was 'trying' to drive home to Spokane. There was no way I was going to make it so I took the Lima, Montana exit and grabbed the motel right off the highway. I fired up Yelp and saw the review for Peat's Saloon and Steakhouse. I'm glad I did. I did not think I was going to be able to make my own cheeseburger, but I was successful, and it was delicious. The beer, was from a microbrewery in Missoula Montana. It was a Kettle House Cold Smoke Scotch Ale. It was also delicious. As you can tell by the pics, I ate every last bite. The service was great. I sat at the bar and the bartender was very attentive and friendly. I will definitely have to bring my wife back here in the future. And next time I might even try and cook my own steak. read more

We stopped at The Peat during our one night in Lima. It was fantastic. The steak was out of this world and the staff friendly. I had the steak sandwich with jalapeños and my boyfriend had the ribeye, both were awesome. The drinks were stout. This place is as local as it gets and that's what we appreciate about it. read more

Rustic, low key, and original. Good selection of food and beer, not bad for craft beer either. Friendly staff and locals excited to see you. There is an amazing grill to cook your own stake at, with all the seasoning you would needs. A pool table, three motel rooms. Will definitely come back! read more

The Peat Steakhouse & Saloon - Delicious! - Steakhouses Near Me - Lima, Montana

Best place I've never been. Yelp suggested I review this. Steve is a great bartender. Beer.

A "Don't Miss Destination. " My wife and I and a friend had dinner at The Peat in mid-July. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Shay was gracious and very helpful. The rib-eye was outstanding - and I am generally not a steak eater - highly recommended. There is lobster on the menu on Saturday only, I believe. Hoping that buffalo steaks or buffalo burgers are next! Several good IPA's on tap. This place is definitely "worth a detour" as the Michelin guide says. Will be going back next time we are in Lima. read more

Oh my goodness!!!! I have never been in a restaurant like this! The owners and workers are amazing! They are always around and trying to make everything better. The food is amazing and the rooms are incredible! On the outside it does look a little run down but when you walk through those doors i promise you, you will be happy! Tried staying at Jan's Cafe; VERY VERY BAD IDEA! Yes, the food is a little pricy but totally worth it! Me and my silage crew stayed up there for three nights. It was incredible! read more

After two long days of driving with our two small kids we stumbled on The Peat in Lima and could not have been happier! Food was great! Servers were friendly and patient with our energetic kids. So happy we found this place! read more

This is a I-15 GEM! After a long days drive we pulled into Lima, settled into the local RV park and starting to talk about dinner. We noticed in the distance the 'PEAT' sign on the building. Pulled up Yelp and saw good reviews. Off we went and we were not disappointed. We WILL be back! Shay and Blaine are the owners, being local and they are doing an amazing job! Great, fresh food. Yes you get to cook your own steaks, burgers and other things but that's the best part! A true Montana experience! Thanks for a great time and spending the time sharing with us your passion for The Peat! read more
