    I was able to enjoy the Hickory BBQ hamburger with fresh cut fries. I was also able to enjoy a peach Italian soda. All was delicious and would definitely recommend the food. The wait staff has a tag team approach. If they walk by and notice you need help they just take care of you. They have fun events based on the day. It appears to be a community focused restaurant which appears to be doing a great job as the tables were full and the staff was hoping. #thanksunclejoe

    Mushy crab cakes
    Matt H.

    Crab cakes were mushy and had zero texture. Undercooked, too much unseasoned bread crumbs and crab was definitely frozen. Chicken Asian salad was somehow dry and over dressed at the same time, peanuts were stale. The Sav Blanch was nice. Service was slow. They spoke to me 4 times total and mentioned nothing about my food that I was not eating. This is considered acceptable for Missoula dinning.

    Market Club Sandwich
    Ruth W.

    This is a nice hidden gem in Missoula that you should eat at. It's quaint, quiet and has good food and service. I have eaten here several times and have always enjoyed the meal. Yes, it is off the beaten path and tucked into rural residential area but you will be glad you came. Today I ordered the Market Club sandwich. Really, it is just a good turkey sandwich on a sourdough baguette. It is big enough to easily share--even for big appetites. The staff here are always friendly here and you will get some country charm verses the hurried city service you get in downtown Missoula. On a side note, I always laugh when restaurants call a sandwich a "club" sandwich when it doesn't have the "club.". The "club" is the middle piece of bread in a sandwich made with 3 pieces of bread. That is the real definition on a club. So in this case, while the Market Club sandwich is technically not a club sandwich, it is still mighty tasty and I will order it again. [Yup. That is one of my soap boxes...hahaha]. In short, eat at the Trough. It's a great locals spot tucked away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

    Out of the way. Nice peaceful and quiet, where lunch can be enjoyed. Great Reuben sandwich and killer fries. Cold beer on tap. Perfect.

    Cute little place with great people and food. We went a couple times because everyone in our party…read moreliked it so I got to try the O.G. and the Secret Single as well as the fries and a beer. Beer choices are a nice variety, I like trying local beers and this gave me choices. Both burgers were outstanding, a little thicker than what you expect from a "smash" burger but this means they are giving you a good amount of food for a very fair price. (I did double the patties both times because I'm not really a sides person.) Just know that if you do this you may not want fries too, it's a lot of burger. The burgers have great flavor and the people working there are great. It's on our list of "go there at least once per trip places" for Missoula. I really enjoyed eating there, it's not fancy, it's good food with nice people at a reasonable price. If it were local to me we would know each other by name.

    When I went to order I felt rushed as the manager or owner wouldn't stop staring at me. The menu…read morewas small, like on a wall on a 9x12 inch paper small. I ordered a an OG cheeseburger with cheese, onions, ketchup and mustard. The guy got mad at me, I could litter see the frustration on his face and I had to apologize and tell him it was my first time there. He picked something else off the menu for me and said it was a better choice. I payed $15.00 for a burger and fries. The burger was small. Maybe 3 inches across and the fries were stale and hard like they had been sitting under a heat lamp forever. The atmosphere presented as a luxury well put together restaurant but they provided fast food service and takeout. Didn't know whether I was at Macdonald's or a fine dining restaurant. Also I could probably get a burger quarter pounder and fries from Macdonald's and have more for then what I got at this place. Also the burger was so greasy it was dripping in it. It wasn't even five minutes after eating before I was rushing home feeling sick from the food. I will never recommend this place to anyone ever. If you go there bring something for your stomach cause you will need it afterwards.

    While traveling home from Glacier National Park, we spent a night in Missoula. Looking for a good…read moredinner spot that wasn't pizza. Found Tap Club on Yelp (always our go-to place to start). Server was very friendly. Quickly seated, although it was a Monday night so they weren't very busy. We decided to split the Pulled Pork Nachos. That was a very good decision. Both from the choice and from splitting. They are an appetizer but could be a main for four people! Excellent all around. (Also, there was another negative review about the neon yellow choice and who ever thought that looked good. Well, I'm an architect and felt it was very tastefully done. Blacks and dark greys with neon yellow accents. Looked great.)

    It was nice to try this new place. The menu is pretty good with some nice options. We had the queso…read moreblanco which was quite yummy. Love the way it is served in a warming pan. Queso is so much better when it is warm. The pork tacos were ok, but while it was nice to have a lot good serving of meat, all the topping is a bit of a mess and you end up with eating pretty much just the meat and a tortilla. The chicken with avocado sandwich had a similar issue. Great bun and a decent price of chicken, but just a few slices of avocado and a couple of pickles with barely any greens means you're mostly eating chicken. Their fries were great!! Tater tots so-so. Would be nice to have an option of a side salad. Service was not friendly, but it was efficient. They have some great beer choices. All said, we'll definitely go back and give this place another try.
