Is this place colors or numbers? And is there only bowls? What if I want something other than a bunch of foods in a bowl? What if I wanted something more serious and personable like a swine in a cart or a fowl in a basket not just grains in a bowl? What if I wanted meaning and joy in life like the shimmering golden beams of yore bursting through my clouded mind? How many vessels are offered here - one? Most places have two, at least, so why can't I order a series of foods to my pleasure at this restaurant that knows not whether it's numbers or colors? What has the world come to? How old am I, really? Is the address five? Is the restaurant painted black? How could one portend that this is a restaurant not just random swirls of peppered beans spread across the spectrum of wetness? Soups, ganaches, hummus, what is this place? read more

Five On Black - Brazilian Near Me - Missoula, Montana

Build your own bowl was great. Food was delicious, I ordered online and pick up was a breeze.

We discovered Five on Black on our first visit to Missoula in 2019 and it's a must visit for us whenever we're in town. However, it was my first time to this location. We figured it would be less busy than the downtown location and we were right! We arrived on a Friday evening to find a couple dining, but nobody in line to order! They serve Brazilian food, Chipotle style, where you select your base, protein, veggies, toppings, etc. Everything is gluten free and you definitely have to get the pao de queijo (Brazilian cheese bread)! We love Brazilian food, and have it all the time, and when I say this place has some of the best pao de queijo I've ever had, I really mean it! We buy at least a dozen whenever we come here! I highly recommend this restaurant! And especially this location over the downtown one because it's less busy and there's an actual parking lot in front! read more

If you are looking for. Quick meal great place. Always a bit too much salt for me, but good fuel to fill your tank

I've lived in and been to Missoula so many times yet this was the first time I've been here. It was so refreshing and light and just the right amount of food. It's basically like a chipotle style ordering but the nice thing is that they have different bowl sizes. Everything I tried tasted good and I, of course, had to get the pao de queijo on the side. I love anything cheese so I was happy with it! Staff was also very nice! This location is nice because they have a parking lot vs the Higgins location is all street parking. read more

Five On Black - Small bowl with greens, white rice, chicken, potatoes, and mango BBQ sauce. - Brazilian Near Me - Missoula, Montana

Five stars for Five in black! The food is refreshing and filling. They offer two sizes of bowls, and the small was perfect for me. I tried the white rice, chicken, black beans, spicy coconut sauce, chimmichurri, cilantro and a lime wedge. This will definitely be a new go to for lunch! read more

Amazing food!! They were able to work with two difficult allergies, and had no complaints accommodating our needs. The service was amazing, the people friendly, the and the food delicious! We plan on going back before we leave Missoula. read more

Stopped by to grab some food on a Saturday afternoon, and once again this location was closed. The sign on the door says open 11to 9 every day, yet this is the 3rd time I've stopped by and they were unexpectedly closed. How does a place stay in business when they are always closed. read more

I have tried the differant veggie mealks and would reccommend this place. also the staff is friendly and professional

Neat idea to have a place like this. Healthy and light. Pretty refreshing. Traditional Brazilian restaurant is all about the meat. This one if I didn't see how they cook the meat, I still think they are a very nice salad bar type of place. The only thing that is really cooked is just the protein choose from beef, chicken or beef/chicken stew. The little cheese bites are the killer. Additional cost but really good. I see people dropping by 2-3 pm weekdays for a quick snack (small bowl). Pretty fulfilling. Clean, tasty and friendly people. read more

Yummy bowls ! Great vegan/vegetarian options and a good place to go if your dining party has different food preferences. Something good for everyone here ! read more

Delicious Freshness! I love being able to get fish! Greens with brown rice tilapia and tomato vinaigrette. Oh don't forget the coconut sweet potatoes in my bowl. Farofa over the top with some lime. Yummm sends me back to Rio Preto. Although you'll never make Fejuada like Ze Ze Lucas.....It's still good. read more

Food is fantastic, love the feijoada with black beans, brown rice and tomato vinaigrette.

Great food - wonderful variety and always delish. Service and ambiance friendly and fun.

I expected a sit down restaurant with a wait staff and full menu, so when I went in I was a bit worried when I saw that was not the format. I have to admit though, I'm really glad I stayed and tried this simple fare. As it was really good! The blood orange soda is really good also! I will return soon! Yummy! read more

Love this place awesome gluten-free Brazilian eats! Food that makes you feel good. There's lots of options build your bowl the way you like it and they've got cheese bread!! Wish I had access to 5 on black in Utah!! Every time I visit Montana you can find me at 5 On Black! read more

Five On Black - Brazilian stew on romaine and collard greens - Brazilian Near Me - Missoula, Montana

We found Five on Block on Yelp, and it was a good find. It is halfway to Lolo from MIssoula, and it was a refreshing addition to the 'bowls" strategy. It's in a large mall, so plenty of parking, and outside tables, or inside too. I made mine with the stew and brown rice, greens, and it was delicoius. Our other choice was the tilapia.. a little small for the rest of the bowl, but tasty. Overall, a good value, and a switch up from the regular choices. Very filling, spicy enough. read more

All the stars for being able to have a delicious, fast gluten free meal while on the road. I was making my way to Bozeman from Spokane and stopped in Missoula to hike the uni's M hill. The contact-free pickup option was also much appreciated. read more

Ended up trying this place right before they closed while in Missoula. Built your own bowls and some good cheese bread. Good food and decent portion sizes. read more

Oh my gosh. Great food, I could eat my weight in the cheese biscuits alone. We love this place

Food is always yummy and healthy-Thus the 5 star rating BUT, DISAPPOINTED that the prices went up (which I completely understand), but the fact that the bowls got smaller, combined with the fact that you don't fill the bowl up anymore (3rd time in a row), I feel cheated. read more

First time here. Food tasted pretty good. The cheese bread was mediocre, but bowl was better. The front end lady wasn't too helpful, even when I mentioned I was new. Rushed me through the options and wasn't very patient even though no one else was in line. Food was a bit overpriced, but it's covid so it's fair enough. I'll probably come back just to see if I have a different experience with customer service. (The impatience and unwillingness to help did drop this one star...) read more

We like this "Chipotle" style approach to Brazilian food. Delicious and healthy bowls, lots of choices.

Bland food...absolutely no taste and lack of authenticity. Concept of Brazilian food sounded very appealing but rice tasted like Uncle Bens, black beans with no seasoning. Service was ok since you just order up, place was clean read more

Five on Black is fast, delicious, consistent, customizable and has great customer service. It's just great. My favorite combo is salad, no rice, double beef, black beans and collard greens with pico de gallo and cilantro. I get the coconut curry, chimichurri and four of those delicious cheese buns on the side. Yup, yum. read more

Love love love this place! So flavorful, fresh, delicious and healthy. Yum. We have a gluten free family member so she has limited restaurants available to her. But Five on Black is gluten free and she can have a wonderful meal with us here. read more

This place has fantastic food. It's a build your own bowl set up and all the flavors are vibrant and delicious. Looking forward to going again and again. read more

This place is okay. Ate here three times, and very hit-or-miss. First time I came, the portion was very small and I figured I wouldn't come back. A friend raved about it, so I gave it another shot and the second time my bowl was piled high. The third time was somewhere in between. Seemed pretty odd that they don't train their servers to give a consistent experience. The food itself it okay, not great. Not a bad option if you need something quick, but I won't be a regular. read more

Yep, delicious, healthy. ... yum yum yum. Please open another. Bigfork would be great but , kalispell will do!!!

Disappointed and disgusted. This was my third trip to this location since it opened and my husbands first. There was nobody else in line to order and when we got up there we were greeted nicely, which I found pleasant. I had started my order of brown rice when one of the previous customers came up to the register. The woman that was helping us stopped mid scoop to ask her if she needed a Togo lid. that didn't bother me, but the customer wanted more chicken. So rather than wait her turn she put herself in front of us, which is bad enough, but the employee completely ignored us to fulfill this idiots order. I mean really? The employee couldn't have informed the woman that she would be right with her? On to the disgusting part.... Rather than opting to get the woman more chicken in a new container, she took the used, half eaten bowl of food and scooped chicken into it! AND touched the spoon to the half eaten rice!!! I realize that I may be more picky about germs than a lot of people, but I also know that it's cold and flu season and I'm 8.5 months pregnant. So no, I don't want this women's nasty spit in my food. Before today I had recommended this place all of my friends and family. The food is very tasty and a nice change of flavor for Missoula. Unfortunately this horrible employee has pretty much ensured that I will not be back. read more

Five on Black is the new and improved Chipotle. Now, that is very difficult for me to admit because I am a HUGE Chipotle fan, but they have gone downhill since the whole E.coli scare. Their salads are lacking their "wow" factor, the ingredient temperatures are drastic, and the portions are smaller. Enough about Chiptole... Five on Black is killing it as a "fast, casual Brazilian restaurant". It is similar to Chipotle's concept but with so much more flavor, spice, and bowl possibilities. The food is healthy, fresh, and gluten free. read more

Only in Montana would you find a "Brazilian" place that has nothing Brazilian. The chimichurri is offensive, specially because is originally from Argentina and Uruguay. If you are from the midwest and don't know any better, you will probably enjoy this place. read more

I was super excited to find this place on the way from MI to WA. Pics and menu looked so good and I thought it was the perfect destination for our caravan of vegetarians AND carnivores to get something hearty and healthy and cheap. IT REALLY IS all of those things but not as tasty as I had hoped. My group came to the consensus that all of the ingredients they offer are great but not meant to be mixed and matched by amateurs. I'm not sure if they offer dishes other than the build-your-own-bowl option but if they do, go for one of those. I would give 4 stars because I really do love that it's cheap, healthy, and good for meat eaters, vegetarians, and even vegans, BUT right before we left I waited forever outside the one, unisex restroom, only to have an employee emerge and say the toilet was broken. read more

Best healthy quick food option in town! Very creative menu but have the seasonal options ended??? Hope not! Tilapia with the spicy coconut save is boooooomb. And those cheesy biscuits?! read more

Ok if you need something quick. Nothing special. But if you're out on Brooks and looking for something better than the typical fast food stuff, i guess it's a decent choice. read more

This place is incredible. Definitely suggest getting both the Mango BBQ sauce and the Spicy Coconut sauce on your bowl. The "regular" size is actually pretty hefty. Don't miss out on the cheesy bun either. read more

Great food and friendly staff!! Place was clean and homely. I chose to eat here because of the reviews and it was well worth it. Filling portions with a great menu. I didn't know what to get but the waitress really was great in helping me build something that tasted great! If you haven't tried this before like me I highly recommend stopping by. read more
