Always a great meal and the staff is so friendly and efficient. Their sausage is great but I'm always partial to the taco omelet. Honestly you can't go wrong with anything! read more

Nice little American cafe. Had a delicious Ruben. Friendly waitress, and quick service.

Good food, good service! This place is your basic hometown diner, I've eaten there several times while visiting Helena for work and never had a bad meal or experience. The food was good and served in a timely manner, the waitstaff was friendly and attentive, and the restaurant is clean and well kept. Great place to go for breakfast, lunch or dinner. read more

Steve's Cafe was once our "go-to" breakfast place when in Helena, but those days seem to be long over! The food quality and service are lacking a lot nowadays! I now see why the parking lot is no longer packed on weekend mornings! Two months ago when I was there I was shocked to find a huge wad of bubble gum stuck to my breakfast place! (eww gross!) This past weekend our waiter was not helpful at all. My garden omelet was served with onions, even though it was specifically ordered Without Onions! Since everyone else was halfway through their breakfasts, I asked for scrambled eggs, instead of having to wait for another omelet to be prepared. The waiter charged me for the scrambled eggs... I about fell upon the floor! Not only did I not get what I ordered, I was then asked to pay for what I had to have in its place! The waiter was also less than helpful when it came to placing an order for food my grandson can eat. He was very rigid, holding tight to what the kids menu consisted of and what it did not! Not the way it once was at Steve's! We'll hold on to the memories of the good days, but won't be returning! read more

This is a very clean restaurant. The service was prompt and friendly. I ordered the chicken fried steak with hashbrowns and scrambled eggs. For starters, the gravy was good but very bland. Lacked basic flavoring. It seemed as though the chicken fried steak was frozen but it definitely was a bit over cooked. The hashbrowns were cooked perfectly and tasted good could have had a little bit of seasoning. Scrambled eggs were cooked perfectly not burnt. Price was reasonable. read more

Best breakfast I have ever had. Ruth was the best waitress ever. Will be back next time in Helena.

Great service and food every time! Never disappointed! Thanks Steve and staff.

I don't get to Helena real often and I had heard that Steve's was a great place to eat. I stopped last year, but the business was closed down due to Covid. My wife and I thought we would give it a try about a month or so ago. The meal was very good and the atmosphere was friendly and very personal. We made another trip to Helena today and when asked where she wanted to eat, my wife said "let's try that little diner again". Once again, we have a wonderful meal and the staff made us feel like we were family. You couldn't ask for better service. I would definitely put Steve's at the top of my list for places to eat in Helena. You can't go wrong. read more

You can't miss with Steve's. Their food is always good and fast service. Favorite breakfast place in town.

I absolutely love Steve's. We started coming after a similar cafe seemed really unsafe about their Covid policies for staff and customers. Steve's has always been super conscientious about safety, and respecting their customers. We love the servers, and the atmosphere. So far, everything we have tried has been delicious. We even bought a pound of their house made sausage. Prices are more than fair- we will be coming here for a long time. read more

The eggs Benedict are to die for!! Soooo good! The service is fast and the people are very nice!

I like this diner. And this is saying something as I am not a diner kind of person. This place is NOT some greasy diner in which you don't really want to look around too hard for fear of what you might see, or touch the menu, or use the condiments on the table. Refreshingly, it is the complete opposite. I felt right at home here and had no qualms whatsoever about eating here. Yelpers did good on this joint! The food was delicious. I had the meatball sub which was not only good but filling. The meatball sub is made in house from their italian sausage. I'm kind of picky about sausage- there is some type of spice, perhaps fennel, that makes me want to hurl. This sausage and hence the meatball did not contain aforementioned hurl-inducing spice! {high five!} Italian coffee was good- served in a delightful, little branded cup. Refills were plentiful. My colleague got the turkey club with side of fries- she reportedly loved it. Of note portions are very large. Enough for 1.5-2 meals instead of one. [I ate all the meatballs, left the oversized bun and got a salad instead of the fries- this was satiating until well after dinner time. If one intends to eat the entire sub with bun and the fries I would say this is good for 1.5 meals. My colleague ate half of the club.] There was no wait at a 12:30p arrival on a business day. Great place to get lunch Helena. read more

The place to go for huckleberry anything. I had some stuffed French toast. I brag to all my friends about this place. Plus, love the name

We have had several breakfasts here over the last few weeks. Everything was amazing. Kids and wife are gluten free, and they had some seriously delicious GF options. The stuffed french toast was amazing, as was there gluten free waffle. I had previously ordered the Egg's Benny. Everything was top notch, but the Hollandaise sauce was a tad bland for my taste, but the eggs were cooked perfectly to order, and everything else was perfect. read more

If your looking for a typical quick breakfast in Helena, it's Steve's Cafe! We had a great server with a lot of personality. I will definitely be going back! read more

We were looking for a take out lunch and coffee in Helena, so we opted to split a reuben when we heard it was the bestseller. There's a reason it's the bestseller! It was the most tender and delicious reuben I've tasted. The sweet potato fries go well with it. read more

Very popular on the weekends, but even when they're busy the food comes out quick and tastes great. They always do a special design for my daughter's pancakes and their coffee is dark and delicious. I recommend the French dip and the Irish Benedict. read more

Great food! Great Service! Love this place! The staff is fantastic, make sure you get there early if you don't want to wait

Terrific stop that we just happened to stumble upon on our way out of Helena MT on our way to Great Falls. Had the New York Steak and Eggs as well as the Sausage Sampler... wow read more

I'm not a breakfast fan but Steve's is one of my favorite restaurants in Helena! Always friendly service and a pleasant dining experience. I love the unique specials and the club sandwich always hits the spot! read more

very disappointing. it took 40 minutes for breakfast for two to arrive and the gravy on the biscuits was congealed like it had been sitting for hours. the gravy was inedible. the biscuits were hard. read more

Steve's is our favorite breakfast spot. Eggs and ham or the three meat scramble always satisfies. The taco omelette is excellent as well. Don't forget to order a cup of Joe, it's the best diner coffee I've ever had. read more

Wowowow. I've got two words for this place. Awe Some!! Shelly and I were just passing through Helena on our way to Yellowstone and wanted to have the nummiest of breakfastses and ummm... I think we found it! The half stack is to die for, and did I mention the fruit cup?? Shelly got the buffalo chicken sandwich and said "are we in heaven?" LOL. My one complaint is how sweet our waitress was, I mean come on there's some darkness in this world! Thanks Steve. Shelly and I will be back! read more

We had popped in after looking at a few reviews online and upon our arrival we were greeted by a friendly waitress. She had an amazing attitude and was incredibly informative and helpful! The food had come out nearly in 10 minutes and the servings (as you can see) were very generous! I was thoroughly impressed at not only the food but the service provided! read more

Visiting the area. And stoped by. Outside doesn't look great. Big portions and really good breakfasts. Pancakes are huge. Highly recommend.

Love the friendly staff even on a busy Sunday. Great fries and nice bacon. I also enjoyed my corn beef hash. It's a local place and well worth a visit. read more

Steve's is the perfect breakfast/lunch diner in Helena. Its location is nice and central; close to the capital and not too far from downtown. The service is prompt, the atmosphere is comfortable, and the staff are patient and friendly! Now for the food...unbelievable! They have those thinly sliced hash browns that I think everyone just loves. And most importantly, they've got a stellar gluten-free menu that includes waffles, pancakes, toast, and all! I ordered the Denver omelet with hash browns and a side of pancakes. Unfortunately I forgot to ask them if they would make me huckleberry pancakes as a side. Oh well! Next time. Anyway, this place is great and I would love to come back! read more

Go here and enjoy! What more can I say? TONS! Steve Jr (2nd generation owner) greeted us at the door so jovially and sincerely. We didn't even know he was more than a host. Upon commenting on our joy to see a gluten free menu, Steve launched into recommendations of gluten-free Huckleberry pancakes and corn beef and hash. We chose both and were delighted!! read more

Excellent food. Good service. Reasonable prices. I'd definitely go back! My Reuben sandwich was one of the best I've ever had.

One of the coolest things about Helena's beloved breakfast spot, Steve's Cafe, is that it is definitely not a greasy spoon, been-here-since-FDR-was-in-the-White-House sort of place. It's fairly new, having opened in 2009, but it's definitely a classic. Stuffed huckleberry and ricotta French Toast, huckleberry pancakes (anything with huckleberries, really), big omelets, and house-made sausages are standard fare, but what I really like is that they have an excellent oatmeal option: an organic, steel-cut variety with apple cider reduction, golden raisin and fresh apple compote, milk, and brown sugar. That, and a few cups of black coffee, will get your day started - if your day includes hiking in the rugged Gates of the Mountains wilderness (no boat trips, please - just dry feet), which is about the best Saturday morning/afternoon/evening activity you could possibly imagine. Sunrise breakfast at Steve's, followed by a backpacker's lunch atop the Mann Gulch ridgeline, and an early evening dinner of burgers, Lewis & Clark beer, and Maker's Mark bourbon at the York Bar: the perfect recipe for a perfect outdoor day, Helena, MT style. (OK, you can just have breakfast here and then cruise Last Chance Gulch, but it's nice to know that the other option exists, too). Cafe Special Oats and copious cups of black coffee: rocket fuel for the the hungry and restless soul. But the stuffed French Toast didn't look too shabby, either. read more

This is one of the best places we have eaten! I am gluten free and their menu was amazing! Typically, you have a few items to choose from, but Steves gives you your own menu! The huckleberry pancakes and waffles were so tasty! My husband had an omelette for breakfast and when we went back for lunch he had a mushroom/Swiss burger! We are going back to Helena in May and you can bet we will eat there again! Breakfast AND lunch! read more
