Quick word of advice: if you're heading east toward Butte, you'll need to drive through the whole town of Drummond to get back on the interstate. Parker's Restaurant sits conveniently just off the highway and boasts what might be the largest burger menu I've ever seen -- over 100 different options. The interior is eclectic, packed with nostalgic touches like vintage glass Coke bottles and quirky figurines. You can order from printed menus or from the massive chalkboard that runs the length of the restaurant, listing entrees from end to end. Even on a busy late Saturday afternoon, we were greeted promptly and seated right away, though open tables were limited. Our drink order was taken and delivered quickly, and the server was ready for our food order whenever we were. The only downside was the wait time -- about 30 minutes from ordering to the table. I had a tough time choosing, but ultimately went with the Ultimate Patty Melt: two ¼-pound patties, grilled onions, grilled peppers, Swiss cheese, and Thousand Island dressing on grilled dark rye. The patties were fresh, thick, and clearly hand-formed in the kitchen. The onions and peppers added great flavor, though I found the Thousand Island a bit lacking. Luckily, their fry sauce was excellent and made a perfect table-side substitute. My buddy ordered the Chili Size, which was massive and also featured two ¼-pound patties. As with any chili dish, the chili itself makes or breaks it -- theirs was solid, loaded with both beans and meat, and you could clearly taste the ground beef in every bite. Overall, Parker's delivers a fun, old-school roadside diner experience with huge portions and plenty of burger variety. Perfect stop if you're cruising through Montana on I-90!

Casagranda's Steakhouse

A Memorable Taste of Butte's History…read more From the moment we walked into Casasgrandas Steakhouse, the setting felt special. Housed in a rustic copper mining-era building featuring original wood floors and fantastic period decor, the atmosphere effortlessly bridges Butte's rich history with a welcoming, cozy dining environment. The meal kicked off with the included soup and salad courses, both exceptional. The chicken and rice soup was clearly made in-house--wholesome, rich, and comforting. The salad arrived crisp and fresh, topped with crunchy homemade croutons and a bright, zesty citrus poppy seed dressing that was a delightful surprise. For our main courses, we ordered the Top Sirloin with the Shrimp Scampi: * Top Sirloin: Prepared perfectly to order, wonderfully tender, and packed with classic steakhouse flavor. * Shrimp Scampi: The absolute highlight of the evening. It featured five large, succulent prawns swimming in a rich, generous scampi sauce--ideal for dredging the table bread through. The side of pasta in a savory tomato sauce complemented it beautifully. To top off an already fantastic evening, they offered a scoop of huckleberry fudge ice cream for just a dollar. It was the perfect local sweet touch to end on. Overall, Casasgrandas delivered top-tier comfort, incredible value, and a truly memorable dinner. We will definitely be back!

So so tasty!…read more Definitely on the expensive side, but my steak dinner included: Table bread Salad Soup Potato side Steak It is hard to not have leftovers here! Super friendly staff!

We have driven by Trixi's several times before, and it was always busy, so after trying to find the menu online, we decided to stop and try it, even though we weren't sure the menu worked for us, but we were super hungry and knew that if we didn't stop, we'd have to go much further to get food. The inside of the bar/restaurant is very cool, kitschy, old-school Montana. For our meals, we got the drunken shrimp (basically deep fried battered shrimp) and I got a grilled cheese sandwich with onion rings. The food was outstanding - the grilled cheese sandwich was perfection - and the onion rings were crispy and not greasy, loved them! My partner said his fried shrimp hit to spot. Service was efficient. Even when she got slammed with a tour group, she was helpful and attentive. Glad we stopped and would happily come again if we needed a meal when passing through.

While this restaurant came highly recommended by everyone we asked, I hesitated at first because it wasn't a historic building. It seems most if not all historical restaurants are long gone. Ultimately, we decided to give it a try--and I am so glad we did! We shared the the shepherd's pie and bread pudding for dessert. We hesitated at first with the shepherds pie as it was not the typical recipe, this was made with lamb and topped with colcannon potatoes. I was pleasantly surprised when the kitchen thoughtfully split our plate for us. Because our friends weren't familiar with those potatoes, they settled on the fish instead, ordering the 2-piece and 3-piece cod dinners. They thought the fish was fantastic and the lamb shepherd's pie was absolutely delicious. The bread pudding was excellent too. It was a thoroughly enjoyable evening, and we highly recommend stopping in!

The crepes itself are pretty dry.. The batter is much thinner than a normal crepe and mine came out very crisp, especially around the edges. Very similar to the "body of Christ" type of texture lol... I ordered a Berry, whip and added Nutella to the crepe. It came out with the berry blend and the whip with cute sprinkled but there was ZERO nutella or any form of chocolate that I paid for in it.. I could have asked for some but they seemed SO overwhelmed. There was only around 4 tables that were occupied so I am not sure where the urgency was coming from. The coffee here was delicious. I ordered a iced latte and it came out quickly with a lot of love. My partner on the other hand ordered a Matcha and it was pretty bad. He ended up throwing it away, not even an eighth of the drink was consumed... I believe the Matcha they use in their drinks is of baking quality. It was a bit clumpy and did not blend well. Not being too harsh on this as I know some ingredients are harder to source out here... It's a HARD pass on the Matcha. I want to give 2 stars but I am giving 3 because their latte was that good. Note I wouldn't particularly recommend coming here unless you're OK with "just OK" crepes.
