I'm a Portland Oregon boy looking for a new home..... But this potential landing spot has to have good food.... Most importantly, Good BREAKFAST. I catch a hangover after two beers these days..... and I like Beers..... Anyway, my lady has been bragging about the chicken fried steak @ the Motherload for about a month now. Holy sheet!!! Possibly the best chicken fried steak I've ever had... And my Grandma can cook!!! The Caesar drink was awesome, but I love my salt and Bloody Mary's...... So they added salt to my next Caesar and it was Very tasty... I had 3. I want to make it known, I returned for lunch 2days later for the Motherload melt ... And it was the BEST Melt I've ever had. Also worth noting I'm currently on an airplane headed back to Helena for another week stay.... I can tell you I will be eating a Motherload melt tomorrow morning, chased down with a Caesar or 3. And I will have another chicken fried steak this week too...... Hell. I'm tempted to just eat all the meals here.... You know. For the sake of You and Yelp!!!

This is also your typical sports bar with lots of TVs and if you aren't going outside to golf there's a golf simulator inside. They have about 10 beers on tap; I got the cold smoke scotch ale which was good. I also ordered the tater tots ($4) with salsa, shredded lettuce, and jalapenos which are toppings at no extra cost. However you can add other toppings such as guacamole, meat, queso, and sour cream each for a couple bucks more. I was actually hoping to get some dinner here based on some previous pictures and menus. However the bartender I talked to mentioned that the owner was leaving and taking his recipes with him, meaning that they had to scale back their menu to only be the typical dive bar food like wings and things. She also mentioned that the customers at the golf course actually prefer it to be a quiet bar for the golf course goers instead of a busier place so there isn't much desire to get a new full menu. If you're looking for a more substantial meal now moving forward this is not the place for you.

Once I saw it on the menu I had to get the GIGANTIC PRETZEL (GP). It was gigantic and it was a pretzel. Great crispy outside and soft warm perfectly cooked inside. Get it, you won't regret it. We all loved it and the queso and hot mustard were a great match. I had the wings, buffalo sauce, and it came with fries. Both were really good. So much food I only ate 4 wings and 1/2 the fries. GP still weighing heavy in my gullet! The Wife had the Classic Mac and Cheese - nice taste but Luke warm instead of hot. Should have sent back to warm up. Her choice. The Kid had the brisket sandwich and garlic parm fries. The sandwich was so big., she ate 1/2 and hardly touched her fries. The fries were delish, as I had to sample a couple for review purposes. The Friend had a Buffalo chicken salad and The Other Friend had enchiladas. Both enjoyed their meals and had leftovers as the servings are generous. Great Time. Great Food. Great Service. Go! Eat Very Well!! HAVE FUN!!!

Place is pretty cool, since it keeps so much of its history, and the service is solid, but the food isn't great. I got a half sandwich and soup of the day, which was a chicken chile verde enchilada soup. The French dip was looking like it was sitting for a while under a heat lamp and semi dried out. Soup wasn't looking much better, and the chicken almost looked like a frozen package. Place is cool and great for watching a game and getting a drink, but don't hold your breath with food quality.

Walking in on a Monday and after fresh snowfall there was not many people in there. We were seated right away. The cool thing is they have 2 trackman bays for golf during the winter weather. The waitress said you can do an hour for $25/ 2 people. You do have to call the l pro shop to book a reservation. After looking over the menu, so many options, we decided to start with apps. Huckleberry pork spring rolls and bruschetta with naan bread. The spring rolls were good but would have like more of the huckleberry sauce on it. Or having the huckleberry sauce as the dipping. The bruschetta was good, it was a little on the Spicy side due to excessive amounts of garlic. It was also a little different having it on naan bread then having it on a Cristini. I finally decided on the buffalo chicken Mac & Cheese. My co workers had Huckleberry stuffed pork chop with a side of asparagus, and Bourbon steak sandwich, with a side of macaroni and cheese. I can't speak for them but my Mac & cheese was good. Great flavor with chicken, buffalo sauce, bacon and blue cheese crumble. Never would've thought to put this on the mac & cheese but it was great. Only negative thing I have to say about this was when my coworker got a refill on his tea and was stirring in his sugar there was flakes of something in the bottom of the glass. Other then that it was all good.
