    Does this look like a Caesar salad to you?
    Jessica D.

    Ordered Caesar salad, got a bunch of stuff thrown together, and I got ranch with it. There was onions in it too I hate onions. Kinda disappointed. Tasted gross too

    If I could uproot this place and transport it back to California with me I would! Little gems like "The Malt Shop" are a dying breed. If you walk in here expecting a fine dining experience please turn around and drive a few hundred miles till you find one. What you will get here is classic all American dinner cuisine that warns your soul and sticks to your ribs. I have a couple of diners where I live and I thought that they were ok but now after visiting here I can truly see that I was horribly mistaken. The Malt Shop feels like you're on Route 66 stopping for a quick bite and a shake before continuing on your trip. Had a cheese burger (sadly forgot the name) that came with a fried egg(what is already not to love) and added bacon by recommendation.... It's classic flavors! Can't beat a simple tasty burger. We additionally had the fried mushrooms (well done and not greasy at all as I've had at other locations), a family order of tots (yes to family size!) and the Huckleberry Mini Cones. They additionally have salads, a slew of ice cream/shakes, and other items you would see at a dinner like tacos and such. The decor is classic Americana with elements of Route 66, "I Love Lucy", and other classics. A small arcade in the back that sadly had a few of the games out of order but was not what I was there for. After having our ice cream we sat on the benches out front as they closed up and we're greeted by what I would have to say was the pest control manager. An adorable black cat that was beyond affectionate and had no problems getting on your lap and enjoying being pet by you. If you're traveling in Montana and happen to be passing by it would foolish of you not to stop and enjoy.

    A must stop on our way back to Missoula. I had a perfect huckleberry shake. It was worth the calories that were packed into a small. Look this place up. As you arrive, it looks like a wild Wild West scene and " The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" theme immediately cues up in your head.

    A trip back in time.

    A trip back in time... Friendly service... Cheap prices... Ultra small town feel. Love this place. I got a cheeseburger a pepsi and a malt cost about 10 bucks. Ive been spending lots of time in big cities this is the opposite. Love it. Highly recommended!!!

    This is the best burger joint in Montana!!!!!

    Good service! Everyone was kind and welcoming. The restaurant is beautifully designed and has a…read moregreat atmosphere. They played great music too. I also really appreciated that they offer several vegan options. I ordered the Creamy Blue Smoothie and the Banana Walnut Oatmeal. The oatmeal was absolutely AMAZING--perfectly cooked, flavorful, and easily one of the best breakfasts I've had here. It's the item I'd recommend to everyone. The smoothie was good overall, but the fresh mint was a bit overpowering and left an aftertaste for me. I think it would be even better without the mint or with less of it. I also appreciated that they use compostable straws, although mine was cracked when I unwrapped it. Later, I came back for lunch and ordered the half Brussels Caesar Salad with the vegan protein. The vegan protein (chickpeas and lentils) was delicious, and the half portion was surprisingly large. I also liked that the dressing came already tossed throughout the salad. One thing I found a little confusing was that the Brussels Caesar uses a vegan dressing but is topped with cheese, so I'd be curious what substitution is offered for guests ordering it vegan. The bread was good, although the butter was served very cold and was difficult to spread. A few suggestions that could make the experience even better: * Add a larger "Basal" sign above the entrance to make the restaurant easier to spot. * Install a large wall-mounted menu inside for easier viewing. * Keep tables and chairs wiped down throughout the lunch rush. The restaurant was spotless during breakfast, but by lunchtime several tables and seats needed cleaning. Given the price point, I'd expect a bit more attention to dining room upkeep. Overall: good atmosphere, friendly staff, and good food. I recommend the Banana Walnut Oatmeal.
