But consider grabbing a table and slow it down a bit. The service is efficient and friendly and the breakfast plates are to die for: what I call the Montana standard--two eggs, bacon, hash owns, toast--is excellent. But live a little and go for the loaded skillet. Wow what a dish. The potatoes, perfect, lots of meats cooked right, and then crowned by two eggs, how you like them. Plenty of coffee too: this place rules.

Cute place with great coffee where 4 of us had breakfast about a week ago…read more I had the avocado toast (pictured) which had avocado slices instead of mashed, really good sourdough bread and perfect over easy egg. Only problem it was dry as a bone. Needed some butter or something on the bread to help it all slide down the pipes. They make it easy to pay on the way out even if you have separate checks! We had 2 young men waiting on our table and they seemed pretty inexperienced. Overall, the best place in town for a quick breakfast.

It wasn't on Yelp and the owner said they didn't have a street address, just a post office box so I'm hoping Yelp can still give them notice. Located at the intersection of 541 and 239 in Utica, but with a Hobson address. The owner also took our order and cooked our meals. There is a nice big bar and tables to eat or socialize. At the time of our visit the most expensive burger was $15 and it's what I ordered. The Big Sky Burger. All their patties are fresh, never frozen, and 3/4 lb in weight. Not a typo. 3/4lb! Nice brioche bun. Cooked to order and done just right. Great flavor. Our party had 8 people and everyone ordered something different which gave us a good sample of the menu. Not a single complaint. Food was fabulous. The owner was friendly. There are t-shirts, of course, and some great history on the walls. Definitely worth stopping by!!

That's being said we went on a Wednesday which rotates their steak dinner. Ribeye / New York / Prime Rib. Delicious. The service was great as they went above and beyond. When making the reservation and yes on a Friday you need reservations as they need to know how much steak is required to serve its customers. I took my wife on our anniversary and simply asked if they could make it special. She did and it was beautiful. Thank you for the special time. I recommend this to get out of town and small town hospitality.

We walked in and no one was there, but Sherry and a gentleman at the bar. They were friendly and place was clean and comfortable. She gave us internet password so we could reach our friend as cell service is poor in the area. In meantime, another baseball family saw our car and stopped. Sherry accommodated all of us as we came and went and was so pleasant and helpful. The food was great! Kids with grilled cheese, mini pizza and multiple Shirley temple requests. Adults had burgers, BLT, adult grilled cheese (with bacon). Side green salad and macaroni salads were great (macaroni salad was indeed especially good with secret sauce and not too heavy). By the time we left, the bar filled in and the conversation between locals and those of us passing through was like one big open room of friendly people learning about each other. We all took a gamble at the Shake a Day and were feeling content with meal and entire experience. The Highwood community clearly is made up of special, hard working, friendly people. Elmos is the kind of place I will plan in to our travels now. We look forward to steak night some time!

Harvest Moon is my 314th brewery visit. Unfortunately I didn't do a great review of it because…read moreSWPFTD is traveling with me this weekend. We arrived right after opening and ended up sitting and chatting with the beer tender, a couple other locals, and then the owner for a bit. I will say this. All the beers were legit and the folks were super friendly! Thanks for the great beers and the great welcome. If anyone is a glutton for punishment, please, follow my brewery, and distillery, reviews from across the U.S. and beyond! https://www.yelp.com/collection/-8iscFkpiiCI563-FDfwGg and if anyone is wondering who SWPFTD is you will have to check out my review of Black Market Brewing Co in Temecula, CA to understand.

The atmosphere was nice. The waitress was very good. But I was not impressed with the food…read more Our table ordered fried pickles for an appetizer along with the artichoke dip. The artichoke dip was very good however, the dipping sauce for the fried pickles was not good. It has bacon in it, which then changed the whole flavor profile and made everything taste like hotdogs. I ordered fish and chips, but when the fish came, it was so incredibly salty because of the dusting that they put on it and it appeared from the outside because it was so dark that it was overcooked. I just couldn't eat it. I had to send it back. Another person at our table ordered the chicken strips and they seemed like they were not fresh made, and they were just from frozen nothing special and they were just blah. Two of my table mates got two different burgers that they were happy with and another table. Member got the sirloin which she enjoyed as well. My overall experience was not good as I ended up only having a side iced tea.

And, no one seems to care. This is a local's spot that I'm guessing doesn't see too much traffic from those who don't live here. It's also, one of two places to eat in Chester (other than Spud's) and the only one open late. When you walk inside, and if you aren't with a bunch of locals, people will turn and look at you (everyone is friendly). It's almost like a movie. You'll find a few good ole boys at the bar drinking and often the same few daily. A few people will be playing the slot machines. And, others will be chatting and ordering drinks/food. There's a bar and restaurant side, and normally one bartender and another server, or one that does both. It's like a rundown dive bar and locals love it, possibly because there's no where else to go. Either way, if you are hungry you might not have any other choices. Keep in mind, even the grocery store closes at 8pm. After that, it's here, starve or go eat some of the wheat on the farms that surround the region. The food is average and if you like greasy food, you'll love this place. They do provide value, large portions and plenty of flavor. What's their specialty? Locals will tell you the broasted chicken. Many of my friends call the restaurant "The Coop" just because of it. And, where else can you find four pieces of broasted chicken for less than $10 (and sides)? Normally, I'll order a burger. The Brown Burger is a monstrous two patties that also carries ham, bacon and cheese. My big buddies order it, but I stick with the patty melt, and often ask for pastrami on it. The burgers taste hand-made (we know they are) and won't do you wrong. They have hand-cut fries and sweet potato tots, too. On a positive note, unlike the rest of the region, they don't use iceberg lettuce, rather fresh greens. The salad is far better than you'd expect. Keep in mind, this is the only place in town where you can watch a game, have a beer, grab a bite and play a slot machine - without shuffling your feet. You'll find yourself in the midst of farmers, ranchers, teachers and a few other locals and full after a meal here.
