    fishtail general store
    Gail P.

    While traveling east from Idaho and on the way to Butte, Montana, my son and I stopped off at this awesome Old West trading store. A little bit off the beaten path, but well worth it, Fishtail General Store is authentically a real General Store. They have everything here: food & drink, cool T-shirts, camping, hunting, & fishing gear, hand-crafted toys, & locally-made candles and soap. I was so happy to find some real heart-shaped boxes adorned with flowers. They were beautiful and I bought both of them. The grocery selection is pretty good for a store right off the freeway. The website says Fishtail General offers "an old meat market section of the store with a world famous "Fishtail General Store Special Sausage". This is a delicacy treasured by regular customers. The full line of grocery items includes fresh baked bread, pies, cinnamon rolls, pizza, deli sandwiches made to order, and other goodies. I can attest to their wonderful deli sandwiches which my boy and I gobbled up. Perhaps it's that all the fresh mountain air makes a coastal tourist hungry? The store offers hand-dipped ice cream cones. Those under the age of 9 can get a cone for only 10 cents. Located in south-central Montana in the foothills of the northern Rocky Mountains, Fishtail is smack in the middle of the finest hunting, trout fishing, skiing and eye-popping scenery on the planet. I was astonished, as we were driving into Montana, to look up on a ridge and see a juvenile brown bear-in May! Usually the bears are still hibernating so this was quite an unusual sight. I remember thinking how shiny and glossy the bear's fur was in the sunlight and that this was a very good omen. In the back of the store, there is a huge wooden table with benches, where visitors can "sit and rest for a spell." Oh, don't forget to find a spot on the table to carve your autograph! Out here in the Wild West, that is not considered graffiti or defacing a public area, it is WELCOMED! How trippy is that-they want you to tag their furniture? 5 Yelp Stars for being a friendly spot to stop & welcome city slickers who can leave their ghetto handle on furniture without threat of arrest!

    I have nothing but great things to say about the Gardner market…read more I was hesitant to go there because everyone said it was so expensive but I found the experience delightful. I wish I had gone there earlier in my stay just for the ambience lol. There are many things to question about Gardner Montana ;)However, the Gardner market was not one of them. Everybody in there was so polite and friendly. I couldn't believe it. Every time I asked for something everybody was incredibly helpful and there were some really nice ladies that were just totally friendly. The store is stocked to the brim. It has everything, at my hotel they were saying oh you won't find sunscreen or cream there but you know what they had every possible sunscreen and cream available!!! I was able to go there toward my last day and get things that I really needed like water and some sleeping pills since I was in a hotel that was very noisy! I would highly recommend the Gardner market to anyone and just remember when you're on a vacation things are more expensive because people are trying to make money in a small town so don't hold that against them. I love that market and if I lived in Gardner, I would shop there no matter what.

    Good market to stop in for essentials before heading into Yellowstone. Pricing are a little on the…read moreexpensive side, but the prices are definitely on par with the other markets in the area, so I'm not surprised by the prices. They have everything from your usual grocery items, hot food, frozen food, produce, toiletries, etc. Small parking lot could get full, but people seem to leave at a decent pass.
