We stopped at Freeway Tavern during a road trip out west after hearing about their famous Wop Chop sandwich. I went with the classic battered and fried pork loin sandwich, and while it wasn't the best sandwich I've ever had, it was still pretty good, especially for the price. The whole place has an authentic dive bar feel that adds to the experience. Everything on the menu was very affordable, so it's hard to complain. Our waitress was quick, the food came out fast, and we were able to get back on the road without a long wait. It's a fun stop if you're passing through. read more

First time eating at this tavern. The pork chop John's sandwich was good but to much in the deep fryer. It could have used more mayonnaise or some type of added dressing. The staff was very accommodating! I would est here again but maybe order something else read more

Best Whop Chop in town!! Service is always good too. But just a heads up they don't take any type of cards. Cash is king here!! read more

The food is great, the service is great, and it's the best fast place to grab lunch on that side of town for me. I live out of town but my mom is from there and I love to swing in and get a wop chop for lunch. Best porkchop in the state. They're cooked to perfection and they're exactly the same every time. read more

The Freeway is a hidden gem in Butte. Not much to look at, but that's half its nostalgia and charm. Always came here with my grandparents for a Whop Chop and a plate of wings. Delicious. I still have family from Butte bring frozen Whop Chops when they come to visit. Worth a stop for sure. read more

Amazing service and great food!! Smaller area but happy atmosphere! Food was very delicious with hand cut fries and lots of handmade food. It was cash only though. Very family friendly and my family enjoyed it. When you think of hole in the wall you should think of this place!! read more

You really need to stop eating at Arby's. They may have the meats but these guys have the Wop Chop. The Wop Chop is a really unique twist on a pork sandwich. The chop is tenderized and deep fried to a golden crisp. The chop is then placed on a simple but tasty bun with sliced onions and a couple pickle slices. Pair the burger with a can of local IPA from Draught Works based in Missoula. The IPA has a crisp bite with a smooth finish. Really good job, guys. The Wop Chop comes without cheese. Trust me, you don't need any. Add some mayo with their horseradish sauce the result will be a super tasty sandwich that isn't greasy nor masked by the cheese. Let those flavours sing! Skip the homemade fries. They are crispy and definitely a solid choice. Instead, get the Jo-Jos fries. Essentially, homemade potato wedges served with a side of sour cream. Give this small tavern your cash. They have earned it. The food is solid. read more

Has went way down hill. The last 3 times I've been there ordered the mini steaks and all 3 times they were out. just ordered 2 wop chops with fries and they were out of fries and sub their joes and got maybe 10 joes between both meals. service was not good as well. Bummer because this used to be a staple to eat at read more

Great food and service!! Quite a diverse menus.... Food has excellent taste and portions extremely generous

Amazing, Butte classic, was starving, no longer starving - atmosphere is as expected, here on a slow labor day weekend

I first heard about this place years ago from the Man VS Food episode when he went to Butte. Since then I made it a point to get a Whop Chop whenever I go through Butte. Before the show I never even heard of a whop chop. Since my first one, I have been hooked. The combo of pork, onion, pickles and mustard work perfectly together. The Freeway Tavern is a dive bar, no question about it, and the service can be a little rough. It is worth a visit for the whop chop. I have never had anything else there but that. Their location is right off the highway, so it is easy to get to and then back on I90. Worth a visit for the whop chop for sure. read more

I always visit the Freeway when I'm in Butte! Portions did not disappoint and the pork chop sandwich was moist and tender and fried to perfection! Only negative for me was the PBR wasn't cold enough. read more

Divey. Plenty of parking. Had to try the iconic "Wop Chop". A deep fried pork chop about an inch thick and covered in batter. Some reviewers claimed that it wasn't as good as it used to be. Well it's the first time I've been, and it was awesome! Perfectly cooked and juicy read more

Nice dive bar. Stopped in for the famous Wop sandwich. It was good. Service was fast and friendly.

It's a cryin' shame they were CLOSED all weekend long, without notice or explanation. I suppose it was due to Labor Day, but really now! I was going to introduce a friend to the Wop Chop and the Fried Chicken, as I've loved both for many years. I was unable and thoroughly disappointed. I'm quite sure they are still excellent and only wish we could have had some. It should be noted that other kitchens and bars in Butte were busier than normal all weekend long. They were also amazed that the Freeway was locked up while revenue was flowing strongly all over town. It really hurt. But we'll try again next year I guess. read more

The Freeway I've known for years and years is long gone. When you walk in you're assaulted with the stench of potpourri. The service is not reliable as it seems someone different is cooking or serving every time you go in. Now -let's get to the Wop Chop - this is the reason for the Freeway's existence - but what they're serving is a sad, pathetic imposter of Muzzy's famous sandwich. Muzzy, and later Jolene's Wop Chops were the real deal, worthy of their accolades. The current rendition Kathy's serving up are worthy only of the trash can. Not even close. And they're severely over priced with the prices slyly not listed on the board. Save your time, and money. If you were lucky enough to enjoy a Wop Chop of the past - savor the precious memory - don't replace it with a bad one. The only thing left of the Freeway I've loved forever is the name. I'll miss the place I remember and avoid the joint that exists now. read more

It's little bar restaurant with lots of locals famous for the wop chop sandwich. It was really unique and good plus I had the breaded mushrooms which were also good. It's a pork loin sandwich which Butte is famous for. It's worth trying read more

Freeway Tavern - menu - American Near Me - Butte, Montana

When in Butte you gotta try their pork chop sandwich. We went to Freeway cuz of the reviews and when I asked a couple locals they also pointed me to Freeway. Get the whop chop and ask for extra mayo. SO good!!! My hubby got the fried chicken. Chicken was perfectly cooked and so crispy plus juicy inside. It didn't have too much flavour though. They have a list of sauces on their board so we asked for BBQ sauce to dip in. It was pretty good. If u get the chicken I recommend u ask for sauce. Fries were also very good. Hand cut just how I like them! read more

Been going there for several years, good food good service, not over priced, always a good time.

What a surprise this place was! We stopped for gas in Butte and were hungry. Spotted this place across the street. It looked divey but had ads about their famous "Wop Chop" sandwich. We had to try it. We were both bowled over! It was awesome! Homer Simpson would love this! It was also a hangout for Evil Knieval who was best friends with the owner. Lots of signed pics, memorabilia etc. If in the area, check this place out. read more

Excellent pork chop sandwich. Friendly staff. Great atmosphere with a real local flair

This is a great local bar with a great pork chop sandwich!! The service was great and we managed to come during a shift change and the service was still great. read more

One of my absolute favorite places in Butte! This is the exact thing you want from a "dive"- laidback and casual but super clean. Cool local decor and nostalgic pictures. It feels like a real family owned legacy and the owner is so nice and attentive. They've got a huge drink selection. I am a huge beer drinker and was pleasantly surprised by all of the options. Do not skip the Wop Chop! Best dang pork chop sandwich in town. It's thick and the sandwich is more than enough to fill anyone up including my friend who can eat a lot! Amazing batter and comes with fries for a very low price. Pro tip- they'll even sell them to you by the dozen frozen and will also ship. Check it out! read more

Muzzys world famous whopchop is a must-have! It's definitely worth the stop and never disappoints. I stop here every time I'm passing thru Butte area. Even been known to go out of my way 30miles or so to get one. read more

Last month I ordered chicken from the tavern. Unfortunately it was way overcooked to the point it was like chewing a dead carcass. Today I decided to gIve it another try; again it was dry. I don't know what's happening over there but I'm not going to purchase overcooked chicken again. Freeway was once a great place to get fried chicken. Please address this cook before you loose more paying customer. Too bad read more

Just had a pork chop sandwich from the Freeway Tavern tonight. It was the best one I've had in a long time. The outside coating was just-right crispy and the pork patty was very tender. Fries were also excellent. I will definitely be back! read more

You can't go wrong with one of Muzzys famous Whop Chops! We aways stop for one when we are passing thru the area and are never disappointed. The bar has alot of Butte history and great photos inside of past days read more

This is a very busy place. The service was good. The food was typical diner food. A bit greasy for our tastes, but tasty nonetheless. They only accept cash so be aware of that. Their food prices are very reasonable. If you're looking for a one of a kind diner with typical greasy food and small menu, look no further. Neat place to stop in on our roadtrip. I wouldn't be excited to go back just because I'm not used to that kind of food. Would recommend once just for the experience read more

This is not fine dining but it's a fine experience. The tavern is ugly, it's full of character and it is all Butte. The deep fried pork chop sandwiches are a special experience. They are tender and really good. And yes, the hot mustard is good but will put hair on the chest of a ten year old. The fried seafood was a little bland but all part of the experience and I'd still get it again next visit. No cash accepted and no bs, this dive is the real thing. Don't miss out when passing through Butte. read more

We stopped and got a whoop chop. Sorry the were not as good as before. The meat was very dry and the sandwiches very bland.

Had to try this Butte landmark. Didn't disappoint. A couple of beers, a Wop Chop and some Jo Jo's definitely hit the spot.

Love their wop chop! Their chips are also amazing. Worth the stop for great price, great food

It had been a few years since we walked into the Freeway. Mostly because we don't live here, but we've also been hesitant because of a couple family and friends who reported back about a year ago that the famous Wop Chop had gone down hill. ***BOY WERE THEY WRONG!*** Not only is the sandwich better than ever, the place is also a little brighter, cleaner and definitely happier. The gal behind the bar (sorry I didn't catch her name) was incredibly sweet, personable and speedy. Thank you for the great visit, Freeway! read more

The food is absolutely horrible, I worked here in the back for a year, I was absolutely shocked to see the food prep area,rats,roaches...filthy, I had to stop working there,I literally was being told to prepare moldy chicken, and rotten pork, I was told,just rinse it off and fry it its fine...this happens everyday there. Kathy feroni is the lady running this place...An absolute crook and a tyrant.. read more

4 1/2 out of 5. Can't pass through Butte without stopping at Muzzie's for a "Wop Chop". Have done it many times over the years. This was a great way to finish our extensive road trip... cold beer in a locals' bar that serves the best pork chop sandwich we have ever eaten. This iconic Butte dive is a piece of history, and is well worth a visit. Great service, the Knieval memorabilia, and a chance to absorb a true Butte experience. Cash only. read more
