Great little breakfast spot in Helena. Portions were large, service was quick, food was tasty, coffee was hot and plentiful. Typical diner otherwise. Counter seating available and plenty of parking. One thing to note, they had a sign at the register indicating there would be a 4% charge for using a credit card due to inflation and the desire to not raise prices so think about paying in cash if that's a problem for you. read more

Steve's Cafe - I'd never seen individual freezer jams, but they are absolutely delicious! - Cafes Near Me - Helena, Montana

My wife and I went to Steve's Cafe on a Saturday about 10 a.m. I ordered a Philly style sandwich and my wife ordered a breakfast skillet. We waited an extremely long time to be seated even though there were clearly tables available. As soon as my wifestarted to eat, she became nauseous, and we immediately had to leave. The staff didn't acknowledge the food made her I'll or even offer her something else. My sandwich was bland, and nothing was spectacular. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone unless you want long lines, slow service, and possibly food poisoning. read more

Food and service was awesome. Coffee taste amazing and the ice tea is fresh brewed, perfect. The only caveat to the whole thing is it's crazy expensive. One BLT sandwich with no french fries or anything is a whopping $10. By the way, no military discount either. If the prices were reasonable, this place would get five stars easily. read more

We love their food. My family loves making Steve cafe a stop for when we come to Helena for our Costco trips. This visit we got the California Benedict's, biscuits and gravy, and huckleberry French toast. The place isn't big but it seats a decent amount and has a nice comfy feel Service is good even on busy days, nice thing is we've never had a long wait. read more

Steve's (both locations) are regular breakfast and lunch stops for us. The food is great and the service is always fantastic. There's usually a line at the door filled with locals because it is that good. The line moves quickly and is definitely always worth the wait. read more

Breakfast is much better than casino breakfasts. Atmosphere is very good and the wait staff is very friendly.

Best huckleberry pancakes on the planet! Have eaten several places in Helena and was disappointed for the most part... Until I happened to go to Steve's for breakfast. Service was very good, and the pancakes were beyond believable. Not only did the pancakes have lots of huckleberries throughout, the huckleberry syrup had chunks of huckleberries as well. More than I could eat and it was a tough choice trying to decide if I should stuff myself or get up and walk away. read more

Yes there will be a line... there is always a line. Steve's has a good breakfast to lunch offering. In Fall they have pumpkin pancakes with homemade warm syrup, a must have in my opinion. Hand packed sausage offered in a sampler is another favorite. For lunch the pulled pork sandwich with homemade BBQ is another hit. They offer daily specials and soup, chili daily or clam chowder on Friday. Good food, friendly staff you can't go wrong with Steve's. read more

The food is delicious. Fast service and a lot of food. The pancakes are plate size and delicious. Ham is a large steak size. And the price is great. read more

I arrived at lunch time and the place was packed. I must have been just about 10 minutes behind everyone else because it cleared out in about a half hour. I had a patty melt and it was good. Was hoping for homemade fries but they were good but frozen. I recommend serving homemade ones to up the game. Service was quick and good too. Highly recommended. read more

My parents love it!! And this place makes a lot of people happy. Biscuits and gravy are amazing!!!!

Now this is country cooking. It's simple & better than expected. The serving is INSANE! One of my favorites in Montana is their wild huckleberry, so I was so happy to see huckleberry menu items! I ordered the short stack of huckleberry pancakes with eggs & bacon. Their syrup is also huckleberry syrup & made in the restaurant. My bf ordered their infamous corn hash. We came here as recommended by one of my gfs during her wedding week and we were NOT disappointed. The ambiance is very welcoming & relaxing. The service was QUICK! We scheduled a late breakfast at 10am thinking it'll take us 2 hours there, but the food came so fast. We definitely weren't in Vegas anymore at this pace haha. I'm just glad to find a regular breakfast spot now in Helena esp since the last time I was in Montana was in 2008! At least when I decide to come back to visit, we know where to go now. Also...they DO NOT skimp on their bacon! It's not your usual 2 pieces. I was SHOCKED. One of my gfs had her dog with her, and we ended up giving 3 pieces of bacon leftover to her . read more

We love Steve's Cafe - both locations in Helena. Always seated promptly and greeted - I normally don't drink coffee at restaurants for breakfast unless they have latte's, etc. but I ALWAYS get coffee at Steve's. It is so good. Also the hash browns are always nice and crispy on the outside, soft in the middle. I love the Denver and Mushroom omelets as well as the ham scramble. Choose from 2 sides - hash browns, sliced tomato, fruit, toast or pancakes. The huckleberry pancakes are delicious as well - sweet, but really good! We either always sit at the counter or a booth, depending on how busy it is. read more

My wife an I have eaten at Steve's cafe 3 times an the food an staff are # 1AAA . Try the big bird an the sweet potato fries. It will knock your socks off. We eat at Steve's cafe on Custer. My wife Susan says their restaurant is very clean an cozy. Shelley's cafe SUCKS. We eat their Turkey club an the Turkey was wet an slimy. Nasty!!!!! Buy the way we gave Shelley's cafe many trys !!!! Shelley's cafe on cedar no thank you Steve's cafe on Custer read more

Steve's Cafe is ALWAYS great, but today was exceptional. Our server, Porter, was so nice and genuine. My short-stack huckleberry pancakes and bacon were delicious. Thank you, Porter, and Steve's! read more

Quite good! Service and ambience excellent. Waffle and bacon were delicious. My GPS found it hard to find but I drove around/through the big store parking lot and found it! read more

This place was packed with people when my husband and I decided to stop for breakfast. We both ordered the country fried steak and our little one had smiley fries with chicken tenders. I must say I wasn't too thrilled with my meal. The country fried steak was extremely tough and dry. The gravy was ok. Even with a streak knife, it was really tough to cut. Our service was wonderful, even with the amount of people dining in. read more

Delicious. Friendly staff. A real treat. Highly recommend the Irish eggs benedict. We will definitely be back. read more

Best place to grab some breakfast or brunch! Voted "Helena's Best" for a reason! Staff is friendly and attentive, and they keep is fun with new specials here and there. I love the French toast, and the hot chocolate is always a tasty treat as well. It is always busy, so make sure you're not in a rush incase you have to wait for a table! Love this place! read more

Ahggg worst waiter ever. We use to love to go to Steve's. We have been customers for years. But as of late food and service has declined rapidly. Today was the breaking point! Waiting over 20 minutes just to be acknowledged and another 30 minutes for our food. That was umm yuck. Steve's you lost us. read more

Wonderful food and wonderful service! Highly recommend. And love the nice coffee mugs that were hand made for the restaurant.

Good food, good service, best pancakes in Helena. They have two separate locations and if one isn't open, the other one is.

4 1/2 out of 5. A very good breakfast option. Been here many times, and have always been more than satisfied with the food and service. What makes this place stand out is their family's home made sausage selection. My wife hates it when I order their Italian sausage breakfast because I loudly break out in a soulful rendition of Volare. You'd think after 50 + years of marriage she would be immune to embarrassment. If you eat here, the sausage is a must. If you hear a sound like a bear caught in quicksand, come tell me hello. read more

The good thing about this place is that the food comes out very quickly I also love the hot sauce selection at every table. Love the green Tabasco for everything and the Red Tabasco with ketchup for my eggs. The food was a different story. Some highs and some lows. I ordered the Mexican Chipotle Sausage and Two Eggs Breakfast. The sausage was dry and crumbly, the casing didn't have that nice snap. I wouldn't consider the sausage spicy either. The hashbrowns that came with it were a on the light side, I prefer then browner with a bit of a crust. I also got a pancake plus a side of Huckleberry Syrup. The Menu listed a side of Huckleberry Syrup as 4oz but it came in a 2oz container. The clear 2oz container came with the pancakes while the French toast had the black 4oz container. $2.95 for 2oz wasn't really worth it. Breakfast burrito was great - very filling. However just the salsa was bland. Coffee was continually filled but a little weak. They offer bacon as "crispy or regular" The staff is very polite, wouldn't say friendly but polite. Sign at the front says if they're busy they will only seat full parties. Which I've experienced at the other location. read more

Irish Benedict is the best. Always consistent, fast and great service! French toast is a close second.

When I was messing around in Helena, I asked the four locals that were available "What is the best breakfast place in this town?" All four men replied with Steve's Cafe. It was a no-brainer to head to cafe de esteban to be nourished for the following day's massive activities. The host, waiter, and staff were awesome. Montana's hospitality is second to no other state (unlike Nebraska at rank 48 and that's cause I haven't been to two states yet). I did not try coffee here (had my own french press with the hotel). However, the ice cold water was refreshing. Food is standard diner food. It wasn't as OG as Waffle Plus in Spokane (sorry to compare) however beats the heck out of 90% Cali diner food. Veggie ommie - decent sized. It has olives so make sure to omit. The avocados not too shabby. Pancakes - Smaller than anticipated. Had nice thickness and not too dry. Tasted more commercialized (pre-made pancake batter) than a house recipe. Frenchie Toast - Standard size. Yummy. This was bomb with the crisp strawberries on top. The s-berry mix was sweet enough that it didn't need syrup. Plus the powdered sugar made it sweet too. Hash Browns - Commercialized. Came from a bag. Ya can taste it. They do give a good amount. Overall I loved the place. Can't compare it to any other local flare. Pricing - Appx $10 per head which is expensive for Montana. But that's what happens when you win a bunch of awards. read more

I really wanted to love this place! It has such a following- and really that chocolate milk! How could a place that makes that masterpiece not be amazing?!? Unfortunately, the food was below average. As in IHOP pancakes are better. Also- had the stuffed French toast, which came later than the rest of our order "because it needed longer to cook" and it was still totally raw throughout. I couldn't find a reason to try here again. read more

Wonderful breakfast! Great staff! Always stuffed when we leave! Love it! We think it's a great place for breakfast!

Before I went to have surgery at the VA my mom and I went here. The reviews and photos are what sold this place. Either we had an off day or its all a LIE! The coffee was disgusting and the waiter had to be the rudest person I have ever met. Plus, he violated Serv-safe on multiple occasions. He threw a tantrum when my mom asked for whip cream for her French toast. Then went and got some and threw it on the table. Multiple times he licked his fingers and would handle patrons plates. I was disgusted and the food was so outrageously greasy I could not stomach the combination. I am so sorry if this is the best place for breakfast in Helena. I usually give places another go if the first time was not so great... Needless to say I will not be wasting my money again.... read more

Steve's Cafe - Huckleberry French toast - Cafes Near Me - Helena, Montana

Talk about some amazing breakfast and people. With a family of five we like to each order something different and plate share. We tried the biscuits and gravy with hash browns and the gravy was nice and creamy. It had a hint of garlic whisk was great. The biscuits were fluffy and the hash browns were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the Inside. The huckleberry stuffed French toast was so good and paired it with the homemade apple chicken sausage which was perfect. The combo of the sweet fruity French toast and slightly spicy sausage was on point. The eggs Benedict was creamy and the Hollandaise sauce was the perfect tang. The full stack pancakes was seriously enough to feed two people maybe three. The service was friendly and the restaurant was clean. read more

Really enjoyed our breakfast at Steve's Cafe. Our server was Beth, who was absolutely lovely and efficient, and informative about things we should see while visiting Helena. Food was just as advertised,delicious! The short stack of gf Huckleberry Pancakes was too much to finish though I gave it my best, while my "other half" polished off his mushroom Swiss omelet w hash browns with gusto! We were full to the brim when we left. Great way to start the day! read more
