With a massive welcoming fireplace, seating that ranges from bar tops to Cush sofas, 5 gaming sets for the gambler in you, and Happy Hour deals that include a 6 pack for $20 or a 6 pack and a 1 topping pizza for $30, you don't need to be a traveler to come here and enjoy the ambience and drinks. They also sell Chimay, one of the most delightful historical beers I enjoy (150 years of monks perfecting it in Belgium!) Our server recognized us when we came back 2 nights later with a smile and a hey! Welcome back! Look out "Minnesota Nice" Montana might have you beat.

The staff was accommodating and passionate about the restaurant. Service was top notch. Our waitress was fun. The Bison Skewers were flavorful and the polenta underneath was amazing.

Server Amanda 5 stars. Overall I'd give this place a 3.5 star/5. Nice wine list ( though I got beer…read morewhich was good). The bread 5/5-so good. I tried the specials, taco soup and Cajun catfish n grits. The catfish was cooked great, and the grits had a good texture. I wouldn't call it Cajun, as there was minimal spices but it was cooked well. I was half the age than any of the other patrons so i understand the more bland spice usage. The taco soup was fine, nothing special but not bad. Per Amanda's recommendation I got the carrot cake-it was 5 stars. Pretty dense, multiple textures and a lovely icing. I wouldn't go back for the food, but I would grab a piece of cake to go back to my hotel! Overall welcoming experience.

I wish I was more hungry when I walked in cause I really wanted to try their "Holy Cow" style meals but could only go with the standard serving size. I ended up going with the chicken sandwich. The chicken was fried perfectly on the outside and the inside was tender and had good flavor. The fries here were very good and I would've kept ordering more of those if I had any more room. The food here is really great. It feels like the best diner food imaginable in a setting that offers so much more. The restaurant reminded me of a bigger chain but with the hometown feel. Big but cozy and personable. Our server was great and always made sure our drinks were full the whole meal. I'll be sure to come back here the next time we visit Helena.

Once I saw it on the menu I had to get the GIGANTIC PRETZEL (GP). It was gigantic and it was a pretzel. Great crispy outside and soft warm perfectly cooked inside. Get it, you won't regret it. We all loved it and the queso and hot mustard were a great match. I had the wings, buffalo sauce, and it came with fries. Both were really good. So much food I only ate 4 wings and 1/2 the fries. GP still weighing heavy in my gullet! The Wife had the Classic Mac and Cheese - nice taste but Luke warm instead of hot. Should have sent back to warm up. Her choice. The Kid had the brisket sandwich and garlic parm fries. The sandwich was so big., she ate 1/2 and hardly touched her fries. The fries were delish, as I had to sample a couple for review purposes. The Friend had a Buffalo chicken salad and The Other Friend had enchiladas. Both enjoyed their meals and had leftovers as the servings are generous. Great Time. Great Food. Great Service. Go! Eat Very Well!! HAVE FUN!!!

He helped guide our choices without being pushy, and his recommendations were spot-on. For his birthday meal, my husband ordered a steak and I had the salmon--both were cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious. Evan checked in at all the right times, making sure everything was just right without ever interrupting the flow of our evening. What really set Evan apart was how he elevated the celebration. He acknowledged my husband's birthday in a genuine, thoughtful way that made the night feel special without being overdone. His attention to detail and friendly, professional demeanor made us feel taken care of from beginning to end. If you're dining at The Silver Star Steak Company, ask for Evan--you won't be disappointed!

Other customers that perhaps were perceived as bigger paychecks were consistently served before me. At first I sat at the bar to make it easy for the servers. Unfortunately it was only me and I was abandoned after My drink came and no dinner menus came despite being asked and responding that yes, I need them. So, I took my drink and asked to be seated at a table. the table next to me had about 8 people seated after me, and again they were able to order drinks before my waitress came to me. So, looks matter in this restaurant - a lot! That is never a good sign. My waitress is probably in the wrong career as she was brusque and seemed put off at having to serve 1 person. Maybe she was cursed with being German as I am. The wedge salad I ordered was two small wedge pieces instead of the normal 1 large piece and was ok, but underwhelming in both the size and the amount of blue cheese which was a bit sparse. The 6 oz fillet seemed more like 4 and was ok - the baked potato noticeably smaller than most but loaded at least. The restaurant scene is Helena is pitiful, to be honest. Billings is the place in Montana to be for restaurants. Maybe Bozeman or Missoula but unfortunately, the capital is lacking. The martinis were decent but not as good as the windmill in billings.

We were right across from the downstairs door (honestly not realizing there are two separate places inside) and on entering decided we didn't even need to look upstairs. We also don't care about sports, ever, so that always steers us to pick a quiet corner instead of big-screen central. The atmosphere is spacious, flowing, inviting, with a choice between brighter and darker seating spaces. It was not very busy, so not loud, but I can imagine it could get rowdy if it was full! The menu looked great, wanted to try so many things- but since we were just snacking and getting back on the road we decided on the meat and cheese board... one of the best we have ever had. And we've had more than a few, in many places, for many prices. This one (on their menu in late July), was $16- an excellent price point for the variety, quality, and quantity! I wrote it down, to make sure they know how awesome we think it was: smoked duck, wild boar sausage, spicy beef salami (that one being our least fave), with 4 mini blocks of cheddar- smoked, aged, onion, sage. Also a personal fresh mini baguette and some cute little toasted spicy pepitas were served alongside. Good lord. So yummy. If you want burgers and fries, go upstairs- you will be missing out. I would like to add that the whole staff seemed to enjoy their jobs, were very welcoming and smiling and cordial. Heather was our wonderful bartender/server, who made us feel right at home (even though Minneapolis is quite far away!). THANK YOU to everyone for being awesome, for giving us a perfect small stop at the end of our vacation, we will be back to visit if ever we are close again!
