Great food friendly service Fun place to eat in Alder Would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting good home cooked style food! Love the chicken fried steak! read more

I eat here every time I visit family in the area. Nice menu with plenty of selection options. I got the Philly cheesesteak this time and I really liked it. The service is always quick and friendly. The decor gives you a typically western bar vibe. Definitely should come check it out. read more

I am a local everything I've had here is really good. It definitely feels like you are in Montana. They make the best omelettes I've ever had and it's what I typically ordered. But everything else have had is very good. services prompt and friendly. They also have a bar in the building which is great. read more

BLUF: Portions are large, food is good, waitress nice. 70 minute wait for dinner is unsat. I have been to Chick's restaurant on several occasions and my previous experience was good enough to make the trip from the 30 ish minute trip from ennis MT. None of the previous trips was when the restaurant "busy". We arrived at 7pm, place had 3 clean empty tables out of 10 tables (normally 11, but they had moved two tables together for a large group of ten), the other occupied tables were couples. Our order taken fairly quickly and drinks delivered. the restaurant emptied about 7:30. The remaining orders came out slow, but sequenced in the order of the people arrived. We were next up, and then we were skipped twice. We ordered 2 orders of chicken fried steak, a hamburger & chicken strips. The waitress staff kept the drinks filled in between her taking orders and bussing tables. We got our order 70 ish minutes after order. The bill was $70 ish. read more

Good food and wonderful people Love the homey atmosphere and friendly service Don't miss it read more

We stopped into Chicks Restaurant for a "Juicy, melt in your mouth" 16 oz. Ribeye steak. What we all received was the toughest piece of Filet of Sole ever served. The meat was only 1/2 inch thick, maybe 10 oz. extremely tough and full of sinew. My friend's steak still had whip marks on it Hehe. These steaks were not prime Montana grass fed beef. At best, they were Holstein end of life cattle ready for the dogfood factory. In closing, when my friend complained to the owner, she took $5 off of his bill. Remember, the steak was $35 a plate. Way overpriced, even for a good steak. read more

Clean, very friendly people working there, and undoubtably the best reuben sandwich in the state of Montana. Will definitely return at some point in the future probably for prime rib on a Saturday night!! Dave and Wanda from Bozeman, Montana read more

Three of us stopped in to your establishment for dinner Tuesday, September 9, 2025. The waitress was GREAT!!! The food not so much. We ordered 2 chicken fried steaks with mashed potatoes and gravy, 1 steak dinner. Steak was good, The mashed potatoes and gravy were cold. she warmed up gravy. the chicken fried steaks were like a piece of cardboard, no exaggeration about that. Neither one of us ate our chicken fried dinner. Waitress could not accommodate our bill, no manager available. she did comp for 2 beers. read more

Great time. A really good burger and solid beer selection. Nice way to wind down after a full day of fishing.

Just had drinks. They were cold and wet. Much fun dive bar in an area fun to explore.

This place just did not look appealing to me the first 5 or 6 times I passed it, so I didn't go in. That was my mistake and loss. Once I finally stopped in for breakfast, I realized that Chick's is a gem. The restaurant is good and the bar is too. Considering it's location and the availability of restaurants in the area, this bar and restaurant is outstanding! I've had several breakfasts, lunches, and dinners at Chick's, as well as having spent a few evenings in the bar. Every time, the service was friendly and the food and drink was good. Highly recommended! read more

Always a good place for lunch after fishing the Ruby, good food , great bartenders , worth the stop..

I don't think this restaurant can handle large groups. Our order kept getting mixed up and the tater tots were way over done. Lots of greasy fried cheap food that is way over priced. But beggars can't be choosers in this tiny town. read more

Best tots! Burgers are delicious. Cute little place. Very friendly service. Different daily specials, salad bar, cookies available at checkout. read more

Came in for a late breakafast and was not disappointed! Had the eggs your way, hashbrowns and toast combo. Everything was done perfectly per my request. The sourdough toast was amazing. The eggs were perfectly scrambled with cheese as I asked for. The home made hash browns were out of this world delicious! Almost forgot - the spicy bloody marys were also terrific! Friendly and quick service - I would go here every week if I lived in the area. Don't judge by the outside this place is a hidden gem! read more

Chick's is pretty dang good for being located in a small town like Alder! They have traditional options like fish and chicken, but they also get a little creative with their Sriracha PB&J sandwich! Usually get takeout so I can't say much about their service but they seem friendly! For being a small town, they do get pretty busy, so if you get overwhelmed by crowded places, I wouldn't recommend eating in during summer time. Especially July. read more

Restaurant is outstanding! Must try the Steak fingers! Beware of the Red headed bartender not good!!!!!

An old staple of the Ruby Valley, this bar is where you go. Big U shaped bar with plenty of seating, great prices on beer and cocktails. They have shuffleboard, pool tables, jenga, and poker machines. Lacks TV screens for watching sports, just two above the bar. People come here to socialize and drink. Decent restaurant attached and some cabins for those seeking accommodations. Photos on the wall of past customers, my aunt sharon and uncle jim, along with aunt pat, adorn the wall of remembrance. Family friendly, well run place of business. Well worth a stop and a drink. read more

Delicious, homemade food in a friendly, down-home atmosphere. Homemade blue cheese dressing -- so good! Awesome sandwiches on perfectly toasted bread. Fresh salad bar with yummy, homemade side options. Perfect fresh brewed ice tea. We visit this area twice yearly and this is our first time eating here. We will certainly be back! Update: Just ate dinner at Chick's tonight. The Country Fried Steak is MASSIVE and hand-prepared/hand-breaded. It was big enough for two of us to split, and very tasty! read more

This was our first visit and it met all our expectations. It's a down to earth and friendly place with great food. Yum!

Nice local steak house. They have a good old fashioned salad bar that was very good. The potato salad was to die for.

It was a welcoming place, Tracy was a very good server, we want to say thank you so much for the good food an perfect tea!! Amazing everyone should have this great experience, the soup an salad bar was quite extensive, so we got everything we wanted!! Thanks again we highly recommend! read more

Had lunch here after visiting Virginia city, bar in front restaurant behind, roomy clean place with nice staff, had a Rueben with a pass through the salad bar, food was very good, promptly prepared and served, prices reasonable, beer was cold, definitely a locals place but they were welcoming and I felt comfortable there. Very handy to where I was staying at the old KOA about half mile away, if in the area give it a try, pretty darn good read more

Great food! Went in there and we were the only out of towners but we were greeted by the nice locals! The food was good and the people were so nice. We got the steak fingerlings and chicken sandwich. Both were delicious! read more

Ordered the peanut butter, grape jelly and Sriracha burger. It has to be one of the best burgers I have ever had. I would highly recommend stopping here if you are in the area and ordering yourself one. The beer selection is not too bad either. Blue Moon and tap and Shock Top in the bottle. The wait staff are very pleasant. Returned for breakfast the next morning, had eggs, bacon and a pancake. Really good food, very good coffee and pleasant wait staff. read more

We stopped in after going up the Ruby Valley on a nature viewing drive. It was Fathers Day and Chick's was jamming. We walked in and asked the guy running between tables if we could seat ourselves. He said that if we could find a spot, we could have it. We got menus and water shortly, and were gobsmacked by all the delicious choices that we were faced with. My son and father-in-law got burgers, wife got the shrimp alfredo (on the secret menu), and I got the porkchop sandwich. The food was great. Fresh, crisp veggies for the porkie and good fries. I would have liked a bit of seasoning on the pork chop, but with its size, I can't complain. The chicken-fried steak that we saw on other tables also looked awesome (and huge). read more

This is a hidden gem in the Ruby Valley! Even though it is well known, it's tucked in an RV park behind the bar....but friends had told us about it and the YELP stars made it worth trying. Wow! Tonight the soup and salad bar included Wisconsin Beer Cheese soup! What a wonderfully smooth soup, with the cheese and beer flavors absolutely melding together. We're taking home extra for tomorrow. The chicken-fried steak was H-U-G-E and we shared it and still have leftovers. So glad to find a restaurant of this caliber nearby while we visit friends for the month of February! read more

Eat the finger steaks!!! We loved it!!! The prime rib was quite good, the burgers and fries were great. Good salad bar...but my son had he finger steaks and they were fabulous. Literally the best finger steaks any of us had ever had. Uh.May.Zing. A must-eat. read more

Chicks Restaurant & Bar - The 12 oz prime rib - Steakhouses Near Me - Alder, Montana

The food in this restaurant is outstanding and very reasonably priced! In the summer, we drove 102 miles from Henry's Lake, Idaho, across the Centennial Valley and Ruby River Road, Montana in our side-by-sides to Chicks where we spent a night in the motel, had drinks and visited with locals in the bar, then enjoyed an outstanding dinner! The place is a Montana treasure! New Year's Eve is spectacular... a band, balloons, party favors, hats, excellent drinks and fabulous food! We enjoyed visiting with the locals who are always happy to talk! The atmosphere is so very special---Montana! read more

Nice little restaurant...they had a lot of fried small plates and also some good cheeseburgers and a really nice salad bar. They had a wide selection of craft beers and all kinds of wines, but the waitress couldn't tell me what vineyards. She said that they had lots of bottles back there, but didn't have any information about them. The chardonnay I ordered was good. She was also polite and quick with the service. read more

Love this place! My boyfriends family has been coming here during elk season for years and I finally got to experience it. It's a great sized U shape bar with enough seating and friendly local people to keep you there all night. The bartender Randy was amazing and kept us there till closing time with his games and conversation. The hamburgers and chicken fingers are arguably some of the best ever and I loved the drinks featuring local spirits and brews. Don't forget to add a dollar bill to the ceiling. Great atmosphere, great people, great prices. Can't wait to come back! Almost forgot to add that we stayed at the Chicks "RV Park" aka the parking lot behind the bar with full hookups and cable and it was better than any campground. Short walk home and we always felt safe. read more

Amazing food and friendly service. You must try their prime rib, so delicious! The restaurant is located behind the bar.

We had their catering and the God and service was awesome. They brought two types of lasagna, salmon pasta and chicken wings. Salad was delicious too. We fed more than a hundred I think. Everyone was very satisfied. I loved the vegetarian. Worth the trip. read more

Nice stop while sightseeing. One guest there shared some great sausage with us. Has the Montana atmosphere and was a nice break.

Chicks is the Toast of Alder!!!! Randy is the best bartender in the state!!! Your trip to Alder wouldn't be complete without a stop at marvs rocks. Buy local legend Larry a Reineer and he'll tell you all about the history of barbed wire. read more

If I could give zero stars I would...We had been on their calendar for over a year for our wedding. We spoke several times confirming that date and time and location. I spoke with Randy a few weeks before the event asking if we needed to provide cups or ice or anything and he said no, they will provide all of that. Two weeks before the wedding we called again confirming everything. Wedding day rolls around and they are a no show. He told us he didn't have us down, then he checked his calendar and realized he did, then proceeded to hang up on us...twice. Might be an okay place to go in and have a drink, but do not take them on for an event. Thankfully we had amazing people at our wedding who came through. Big thanks to Main Street Market for carrying a huge variety of alcohol! And a shout out to Lost Cabin Bar for having us for shots after the ceremony and graciously letting us take photos in your amazing establishment! Check both of them out in Twin Bridges! They saved the day along with our guests who pullled it off without a hitch. I DO NOT RECOMMEND HAVING THEM DO AN EVENT!!! read more

We stayed in the area for a couple of nights and had dinner here. The waitress was friendly and the food was very good. We ordered the fried chicken and a basic cheeseburger. They also sell prints from a local photographer (Yellowstone, Madison valley,...). It's a local favorite and worth a stop. read more
