    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.

The location makes it very convenient to go to the very pleasant bookstore next door while waiting for a table - there is no shortage of customers even on a Wednesday late morning. The line is well-managed with a waiting area and restaurant pagers handed out. It seems like a place that is frequented as much by young people as retirees. They have a combo plate that includes two eggs, hash browns, a protein (I've so far only tried the corned beef hash), and two pancakes starting at 17 with upgrades available for the pancakes. It can easily be split for breakfast and offers a really good variety of things. The corned beef hash, hash browns, and pancakes are all top notch in my opinion (and the eggs are good eggs also). There are numerous Best Breakfast Winner posters hanging above the window to the kitchen and I don't think this place needs much support - they seem to be doing quite well - but in case this reaches someone who is visiting Missoula and doesn't know about it, it's well-worth a stop.

    I've been wanting to try this since it opened but had received mixed reviews. My family was in…read moretown, so we decided to try it. The place was packed on a Sunday and a 1.5 hour wait for a party of 8. Everyone was super friendly and accommodating! We sat in the back dining area and they made a table for 8. Let me start with the drinks, the chai espresso drink MUST GET. Best alcoholic beverage I've ever had in my life. My friend and I both agree and had two each. They have a nice variety of breakfast, with healthier and smaller options. The prices are decent, definitely city prices. I had the shakshuka, which was phenomenal but wish there was an option to add more meat. The portion was huge and the sourdough was delicious. We all enjoyed and I'd definitely come back!

    Not worth the price point. The café is beautiful and very aesthetic inside, but I was disappointed…read moreby the cleanliness. I arrived right when they opened, yet several seats still had crumbs on them. The service was quick, though not overly warm or welcoming. I also found it odd that the drink menu is printed separately on paper instead of being included on the main menu--it feels less polished than the rest of the space. As someone who eats plant based, I'd love to see vegan items clearly labeled on the menu and at least one more substantial vegan entrée option. I ordered the Powerhouse Overnight Oats for $22. They were actually quite tasty and surprisingly filling. However, at that price, I expected a little more. The chia seeds were dry rather than fully hydrated, and consuming dry chia seeds on their own is generally discouraged because they absorb liquid after being eaten. One final suggestion: please include menu prices on your website. It makes it much easier for customers to decide before visiting.

You can see the care they put into these sandwiches. They dont throw on the toppings and hand you a mess. They actually take their time to build a sandwich that is balanced and delicious. I always get the Beach Boy, but the other sandwiches look great as well. I tired the pickel for the first time today. It was almost as big as my sandwich lol, and was juicy and delicious. If you head to this location, it's easier to park on the side of the road. Parking in front of the building is limited and can be a challenge to get out. Also, seating is located outside on the patio only.

Anyway, it's extremely flavorful and all the ingredients taste high quality and fresh (especially the ciabatta it's on). Have had a few others but this is my favorite. They're also very accommodating about substitutions in general. Prices are reasonable and the sandwiches can easily stretch to two meals. No seating inside so lots of people chowing down sandwiches in their cars outside including me who can't wait 10 minutes to dig in.
