I have no idea a how this place isn't rated at 5 stars. Seriously. It seems like it's your typical "awful waffle" but the food here is awesome. We've been here our last 3 days in town. Spaghetti, shrimp, chicken strips, chicken fried steak, pie...it's all been incredible. The best thing? Their cream gravy. Lawd have mercy. I'm a girl from the south and appreciate good gravy. And their cream gravy is just freaking stellar! read more

Four B's Restaurant - a person eating a piece of pie - American Near Me - Deer Lodge, Montana

Chicken fried steak overcooked disgusting flies in the restaurant the food hit me hard it worst food I've ever had prison food. Yeah no wonder. McDonald's is full across the street, but never again. read more

We weren't expecting an upscale experience here. We were looking for something like a Denny's while on a road trip. We were disappointed with the food and the service. The soups were watery, especially the cheese and broccoli soup. I only took two bites. Sweet potato fries were okay. The chocolate silk pie was the best part. Service was lackluster with no real attention paid to the table. read more

Food is horrible. Shrimp was way over cooked. Club Sandwich didn't have any bacon on it.(It was supposed too). Salads were pretty much just lettuce and croutons. The lemon wedge that came with the shrimp was dry with cheese stucstuck to it and the was no cheese with any of our meals. Service was good. read more

Food 1, service 1, ambiance 1 1 item out of 4 was edible, and it's commonly found in a freezer bag. Any "fresh" food was poor quality and blessedly little of it. Service was polite but ignored tables. Seating is old and rickety. Famous tomato soup? No reason it should be. I feel bad for the staff here who DO work hard, trying to make a living, but they should find a business that actually wants to offer a good product. Stop in Drummond, where we found a good meal, as another reviewer suggested. 5-star reviews have got to be ringers. Just, no. read more

Used to come here very frequently with my grandpa and had great food when Colt or Jennifer were cooking and always had great service from our waitress Stacey or Shelby. The prices were good as well. I moved back home a year and a half ago and stopped in expecting a great meal and the same service. Oh was I wrong. My husband and I were basically ignored for a half an hour after being seated. It was not busy.. there were 2 other tables of 2 people. We should have left but we really wanted some tomato soup. I went to the counter and asked to order and got attitude from a girl on her cellphone. We both ordered a bowl of tomato soup. We definitely noticed the increased prices! It arrived and was not even hot! I didn't even try to get her attention because I couldn't deal with the attitude again. We went to the counter to get the check and pay (of course the check wasn't brought to the table and we weren't checked on for refills or anything... the waitress cellphone and talking with other people was too important). Again attitude and a little laugh when I told her our soup was cold. Never again..I'm a tolerant, patient person but this young woman really tested that!! People need to do better..Management needs to do better..4Bs needs to do better. read more

Great tomato soup and club sandwich. Good little stop if your traveling and need to get out of the vehicle for a few.

Our service was horrible. We waited a LONG time for our order and part of it never came. The server just gave us excuses

It's 11:00 a.m. Saturday July 1st. We're pulling a 5th wheel. People who have experience with RV's know the difficulty finding parking near restaurants. This place is right off the Hwy. There's a huge parking lot of at least 30+ spaces. 1 car was only parked directly in front of the restaurant and 2 other cars in the lot. We parked across the parking lot nearer the big rigs , not near the front entrance. Not in the way of anyone! The cook came out and yelled at my husband to "MOVE!! Don't park there! We need the parking spots!!" For what other cars, pray tell?! Nobody is eating at this place! Normally, we would never stop at a 3 star podunk like this! How rude and stupid can these people be chasing potential customers away! Of course, we left immediately! And guess it was meant to be bc we found a great little establishment a little farther up HWY 90 in Drummond, MT. read more

I've been eating at 4Bs restaurants for 35 years and have always enjoyed good food and service. Until my visit on 12/23/23. The food was good, the service not. Laura forgot my coffee which was not a big deal, it happens. We had an 8 hr. drive ahead of us so wanted to get back on the road. We stood at the cash register while Laura walked right past us to go chat with a co-worker. One of the other servers finally got her attention and when she made her way to the register I was clearly annoyed although I didn't say a word. She very sarcastically and rudely said "sorry you had to wait" to which I replied "so am I, we have a long drive ahead of us. She repeated the sarcastic comment and rudeness and as a final flourish, threw the credit card receipt across the counter. I worked in the restaurant business for 25 years and I know how to treat customers. Laura should learn how. When I told her she had walked right past us without acknowledging that we were waiting, she said she didn't see us. That is her job, to see customers and if she isn't capable of that she should find another line of work. I would change the green check mark under service if I could. read more

Food wasn't too bad. The issue was the server. When we came in she seemed to be more interested in her cell phone. There were two at the register that were both on their cell phones. We got seated and then told the server what we wanted. Then immediately she went back looking at her phone. The floor needed vacuumed instead of her on the phone she could have vacuumed or done something else. We weren't asked if we wanted anything else to drink until she brought the bill. read more

Pluses: 1.) beef for the pot roast dinner was edible. 2.). They had the entrance to the dining area blocked off by chairs 30 minutes before closing time (8:30 pm) and were vacuuming the empty restaurant, but they cheerfully welcomed and seated us. The young waitress knowledgeabally rattled off the short (6 or 7 items from a pretty broad menu) that they were out of. Being food service industry people ourselves, we asked the cook what would be the least inconvenient things to prepare, and to his credit, he said anything at all . We ordered 2 orders of pot roast, sides were mahed potatoes, side salad and I chose Mac n cheese over coleslaw based on the waitress' recommendation. Food came out only warm, which is unsafe and why I give it 1 star. Food quality was 2 stars - Mac n cheese had barely anything on it and reminded me of 37 cent private label Mac from my childhood. My wife took one bite of the pot roast and declined to eat it. read more

Picked this off yelp while driving by. Homemade tomato soup (did not try, but locals were upset at the rumor that they ran out for the day). Hot food was hot, cold food was cold. Club sandwich was good. My ruben sandwich had firm grilled onions, gooey cheese (all Swiss) form crunchy the bread. The tasty on sourdough with ample portions and fries. The onion rings were homemade. Pecan pie was a good finish. Only thing in town and worth a stop. read more

Best Cream of Tomato Soup ever! Diner atmosphere and food. Service was friendly and fast.

Very friendly staff, family oriented restaurant. The food was good and affordable. I like the freshness of the meats.

Good food and friendly service. I had scrambled eggs pancakes and sausage. It all tasted great and the coffe was good as well

Not sure why the rating is so low. Stopped on our way from Colorado to Glacier. Our breakfast of eggs, bacon and pancakes was good. Nothing fancy, but it's just what we needed after a long morning of driving. Fast and friendly service. Lots of locals which is cool to experience while you're traveling. read more

Definitely a hidden gem. Yes, the decor is dated, but I'm not there as an interior decorator. I had the senior meal, chicken fried steak. That means a 4 oz. versus the normal 8 oz. serving of meat. Very good and the gravy was complementary for both the meat and potatoes. Salad was very fresh. The garlic toast was a bit of an anomaly that I actually liked. It had a hint of garlic and more of an emphasis on butter. My better half got the French dip with onion rings. Also cooked to perfection. I have bypassed this location many times as I was always under a time constraint. I will make time in the future. Most of the customers appeared to be locals, who were there to enjoy their meal. I did see one couple leave frustrated that they weren't being served more effectively and they stomped off. Their loss, but I get it. So maybe allow a few extra minutes, especially when they are so busy? read more

We happened upon this place during COVID late in the evening. I'd give them a 5 but they need to do a few repairs to the inside of the restaurant. They've got this award winning tomato soup that brought us back. I'm not even a fan of tomato soup. It's creamy and rich and it's the perfect way to start off a diner meal. The food is typical of a good diner and decently priced. Plus, when we walked in with masks on, the locals looked at us like we were aliens and we were instantly in love with the community as well. The staff is always quite pleasant and when we get the chance to pass through, we hit this local favorite up. read more

Four B's Restaurant - Not grilled - American Near Me - Deer Lodge, Montana

We stay in Deer Lodge quite a bit, and 4B's is one of the place we go to rat at. It is normally acceptable, food, service, prices, cleanliness, etc.. But this morning we came in, it was a little busy. One of the servers sat us, gave us Iced Teas, and menus, and promptly forgot us! I can put up with slow service, or busy, but one thing I WILL NOT allow is to be ignored! We left 6 bucks for the Ts on the table and left after about 20 minutes and 3 other tables getting their orders taken. Since we are heading out tomorrow, we won't be going back to 4Bs this year. read more

Not a good restaurant! We stopped in to have breakfast quickly in a rush to get back to Seattle from Montana. The staff was very nice. We walked in, and we told them we were waiting for someone and they acknowledged us and seated the people next to us first. After we sat down we were given menus and asked about drinks. We were given them with only a small confusion over mine. Which you could understand because our friendly waiter had informed us that we had came during the time of the fair. But we sat quietly and the waiter came around to the table once again. We told her what we wanted and she put the order in. She even engaged in a friendly conversation with us about the fair and given us the location. We were intrigued and decided to look up information on it. Only to know later that the cook hadn't even started on our orders. I fully understand the struggle of rush hour but to wait an entire hour on our food with a 10 hour drive ahead of us, is just insane. We waited a little longer to see if our food would come out but after a couple minutes decided to get up and leave and informed our waiter that we were going to go because of the wild inconvenience and let her know that it wasn't her fault and that we appreciated her. And we left without paying with the permission of the waiter. Overall... Unless you have hours to spend eating at a time, just don't come here. It's not worth your time. Literally. At least not during the two weeks or so that the fair lasts because it brings in a lot of company. The waiter and staff was friendly, but you could tell that the cook couldn't manage his job. 1 read more

The food was good but the men's restroom was filthy. Not just today's dirt but obviously weeks of shoddy cleaning. Makes you worry what the kitchen looks like? Waitresses were very nice! read more

Worth the stop if you're between Butte and Missoula and hungry for a hamburger steak dinner. The best I've ever had and the service was great too! Would like to hang around and try their other menu items. I'm sure I would'nt be disappointed. read more

Ughhh... only if you're starving I guess. No longer serving dinner. Soggy toast with my omelet. Maybe let customers butter their own instead. Average service. read more

Ok this place is divey but the only reason anyone stop is for the tomato soup. It is the best, EVER. I always make a stop on my way to Missoula. I get the club sandwich and a cup of tomato soup. I love it with a million crackers crumbled in it. Then I get a quart to come home with me. It almost has a sweet flavor to it which is probably why it's so famous. Ps- the chicken fried steak is also a good bet ....and so is the chicken and rice soup :) ENJOY read more

Four B's Restaurant - Hands down the best tomato soup in the world!!! You won't be disappointed. They serve it daily it's so yummy - American Near Me - Deer Lodge, Montana

The menu stated "fluffy" scrambled eggs, they were spread thin on the flat top and chopped....rubber pads not fluffy. Hash browns were not very edible, dried, crunchy and raw all at the same time. My sliced tomatoes we're fine. Staff was friendly and helpful. Two stars are for my food, I would give the staff five stars. My husband liked his breakfast burrito, his hash browns were the same as mine. We would stop again just order something different. read more

Dirty. Lousy food. Sorry I stopped. Burger overdone. Fries cold. Meatloaf heavy salt cold gravy. Salad wilted.

We stayed at the campground directly behind this location and woke up late. Decided to eat at a restaurant instead of cooking at the campsite. Turned out to be kind of a mistake. The people were very friendly but the food was just kind of ok. I was surprised that there was zero 'social distancing' and the waitress even lowered her mask to talk to us when taking our order. She desperately needs a trip to her dentist. The wife had biscuits and gravy and crispy bacon. The biscuits were heavy, definitely not light or fluffy and ultimately hard to chew and swallow. The bacon was NOT crispy and had some raw areas. Everything was stone cold, but I've learned not to send food back for any reason. I had (forgot the name) (lots of) shredded potatoes and scrambled eggs in a plastic skillet with a couple small pieces of thick cut ham, sausage, and actual crispy bacon and iced tea. Half the ham was fat and had to be discarded. The sausage was tasty and well seasoned. The rest was dry and bland. Even salt didn't help. I substituted a couple of small pancakes for toast and jelly which were really good and larger than I expected. At saucer plate size, I can't imagine what the size of their regular pancakes are like. The tea was about about five minutes from being really good. There's far better out there, even the stuff I cook in the sun all day. All in all, given just about any other option, including McDonald's, I'd pass on this place. I was hoping for something along the lines of a Perkins. Sadly, they missed the mark. read more

Four B's Restaurant - The Pumpkin pie is definitely going to be our dessert! - American Near Me - Deer Lodge, Montana

Special (pot roast) was suggested. I ordered it, then they told me they were out of it. Server then suggested , as an alternate, the daily special omelette (after she previously told me she wouldn't suggest it). At this point I should have cut my losses and left. She then suggested the pork chops. Salad was a plate of lettuce with a carrot stick and four croutons, period. First pork chop was actually pretty good. Second one was very tough and inedible. Baked potato was fine. My server abandoned me after bringing my food. No drink refills, no checking on me, no service. So I was not able to tell anybody that I was unhappy. The longer I stayed unattended, the unhappier I got. Crappy restaurant in a broken down Montana townThis place deserves to go away. read more

Our server Amanda was friendly and quick. Coffee never got cold in the cup. The omelets and eggs were prepared perfectly. The hash browns were crispy on the out side and tender on the inside. When we came back the second day Amanda remembered our beverage order from the previous day (I don't expect this during high season). FYI We always order dry toast so it isn't soggy. Restaurants always use more butter then I like. read more

Good restaurant, it's located in the same lot with a truck stop . Food came out on time . Tomato soup tastes pretty good . Give it a try ! Recommend ! read more

Four B's is the only restaurant chain I have ever found that can make good Liver and Onions consistently. If you like Liver and Onions (like I do), this is the place to go. Their creamy Tomato Soup is a specialty of the chain since it was originally started in the 1950s. Alway had great food no matter what I ordered at any Four B's, so they are much more consistent than any other restaurant chain I know of. It is good to see Four B's opening new locations after many year of closings of existing locations. read more

We stopped in Deer lodge for lunch and decided to try the 4B as an alternative to the McD's accross the street. I had the 1/3-pount buffalo burger which was very tasty and came with yummy home-made fries. My wife really liked the cream of broccoli soup with her turkey sandwich. Service was speedy and friendly read more

Sub-par Sysco-supplied food that aspires to be Denny's and actually fails. The turkey club was made with lunch meat. Service is under-skilled, but not horrible. The only way I could recommend this place is if your only other option is the McDonald's across the street. I won't recommend other restaurants within a review because I think it diminishes credibility, but read my other reviews for a good option of the same style in Butte. read more
