    Smash burger was even better than it looked.

    Great place and great people. If you are in the area it's a must stop. Great smash burger.

    Lunch stop going north on Hwy 93. Big Cat Cafe turned out to be a very nice surprise. So warm and toasty with a fire burning. Great service. Great food.

    So I found this place road tripping in Montana when I cake through a cool little town. This place is super lovely and has a cool story. From one of the waitresses I found out this use to be a local saloon and another little bar/casino. So what they did was keep the rad saloon and removed the bar portion of the bar/casino to make an absolutely beautiful dining area and converted the casino portion the the lobby. It's all connected and done in a beautiful way. Really well done how they have kept the old rustic vibe of Montana yet wove in this new and modern beautiful addition. It just opened a month or so ago with all the changes apparently. It's an impressing place. Side note: there is horse shoe competition out in the outside portion of this place every Sunday at 3:00. What a cool thing. - Food: The waitress suggested a burger so I followed her call. The burger was super good and super fresh. Loved the burger. I was only able to eat halftime was so big. - Service: The service was wonderful and super nice and was constantly checking on me even though the place was pretty full. - Drinks: I just got one drink but man it was STRONG. So well done bartender/waitress. - Value: Great value. My massive burger with salad was only $10.75. My drinks were super cheap as well which is what you'd expect from a place like this. The total for the meal with a massive burger and two drinks was $19.00. That's some great value. - Location: The location is in a beautiful little town in the mountains and it the decor is just on point Overall, I'm really glad I was able to experience this place and suggest anyone in the area to do the same. Just a really lovely experiment.

    I'm giving this place a solid five stars for having extremely friendly service and good down to earth food. I was staying nearby, and admittedly there isn't much around here save for a few ranches, including the "Dutton Yellowstone Ranch" however the town of Darby was perfectly pleasant. I enjoyed some delicious loaded fries with thick cuts of bacon and queso; for a second, I thought I'd actually have a heart attack but thank goodness for ice cold beer to wash it all down. I highly recommend going with other people so you can try various things. Unfortunately the fries were soooo filling that I could hardly move after.

    The COD was the best I've ever had. The two young ladys who waited in us were perfect. Here for a couple days likely will return.

    This classic All-American diner is located right off I-90 in Drummond, Montana, between Missoula…read moreand Butte. 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!

    Service here is super friendly and there is a fun, diner atmosphere. The menu includes a huge…read morenumber of burgers. Plenty I've never even thought of. We had a bacon cheeseburger, chili cheeseburger and skinny fries. The fries were perfect! The burgers were small but really thick. Unfortunately that meant they were a bit dry. The chili cheeseburger needed more cheese. We will definitely come back and will order the burgers medium rare instead of medium. They had some yummy sounding desserts on the menu. We didn't get to try them this time, but will the next time.
