What a wonderful surprise this restaurant is. Slightly upscale and rather unassuming, but good luck finding a better premium hamburger, this spot is tops. My burger was was delicious, cooked perfectly and the hand cut french fries were some of the best I've ever eaten even though they were a touch oversalted for my taste. Service was terrific, I was able to eat outside on a really nice day and enjoyed a fabulous gourmet burger with a perfectly prepared side salad by the way. Can't wait to go back! read more

Been here a few times. Their menu is pretty standard but every burger I've ordered has been very good. The fries are usually on the crispy side but I prefer that to soggy fries. This time I got the Raging Bull! Very good. I love their how they cook their jalapeños. My burger was well don't but that was my fault for not stating how I wanted it cooked. Cheese was perfectly melted on the burger and they have the toppings on the side so you can add what you wants. If you ever get a chance, their brunches are amazing! They also had indoor and outdoor seating today. Outdoor seating was under a tent. A nice addition for the summer crowds. read more

We were visiting my brother-in-law and he brought us here on a Thursday just before they closed and the service was great. They were quick and the food was delicious. We ordered the onion rings which were cooked perfectly. I ended up getting the loaded fries for my dinner. The whole pieces of garlic were grilled nicely and the chilies were tasty. The garlic aioli was sparse throughout the dish and I asked for extra cheese and was charged for extra cheese but I did not see a lot of cheese on the fries, there may not be a lot of cheese on them to begin with. The other entrees looked delicious and our party was pleased with the food and they were nice even though we were there past close. Worth a trip when you are in Missoula. read more

location and vibe was decent. i ordered the Ruben which arrived quickly. I paid extra for a side of fries which were dried out and barely warm. the sandwich had great flavor but the corned beef was chewy and tough. I asked for the fries to be removed from my order was wasn't asked how everything else was. no refill offered on my iced tea. total of 5 tables, two on the wait staff and one gentleman cleaning and resetting tables. clearly missed the mark of proper training and attention to detail as a waitress. half way through my sandwich a check was left with zero follow up. read more

Great little locals place-- stopped in for lunch yesterday and came back for breakfast. Yummy food, good service, would recommend!

The burger was superb! I was so excited to finally try this cafe and the food was great. Service was fantastic as well. Get the fries!!!

Banger food. No doubt I will be returning for more of that banger food. Did I mention the banger food? Good staff. And good atmosphere. Absolute banger food though. read more

I've never been so disrespected by a person before!! Extremely rude service. I came in for a Togo order, checked in, then waited 45min, just for a server to come up and say it's gonna be another half hour or more because they prioritize the inhouse guest before the Togo. So any new tables will get their food before me. (Which was a few eggs....) worst service I have ever dealt with and then she told me to leave because I recommended they make the orders as they come in.... Will never be back. read more

We were seated by a very friendly host and waited on promptly, even though it was extremely busy. The food was amazing, we ordered the onion rings and the Caesar chicken rap. After a short wait we got our food, but without water. Not a problem at all, I asked one of the waitresses walking by, and she apologized and brought us water right away. Overall, a very friendly staff, lovely atmosphere, I will definitely be back. read more

Great service... today was especially good! The iced tea is made fresh everyday... that's a big deal to me ! The food has never disappointed me as far as quality and freshness. I was craving a delicious chicken sandwich and am completely satisfied with what they delivered! I highly recommend the daily features ! Always on point! read more

Great little cafe. Quick service with really nice servers. All four meals at our table were delicious. A definite 5 star and we will return.

The food was great no negatives on food or service. Given 4 stars because it is so far away from I-90 we just about turned around trying to locate this place. So happy it was worth the drive. I had the loaded French fries. My sister had a roast beef dip sandwich. We both exclaimed how good they were. Yes it is worth the drive off the highway! You are so lucky if you live here. read more

What took me so long to get here? I hear about The Trough all the time. So glad I finally drove down South. The food and service was amazing. I got the California Chicken sandwich, my son ordered the ribeye. They were both delish right down to my fresh hand cut fries and his vegetable medley! Will definitely be back...soon. Oh and it's so quaint too read more

Food best ever! Wish We took photos of our food. Staff was friendly seemed short handed, but well worth the wait. Wow

I really liked this place the first time I tried it. The place was really busy and it had a cool feel. I got sandwiches to go from the front counter area. The second time I dined in. The menu seemed limited and prices were high. The food was ok. The service was just ok too. Not very personable nor informative. Too bad, I really wanted to love it. read more

Nice indoor and outdoor spaces. Excellent service. Very friendly. My favorite is the salmon sandwich. Delicious!

Delicious sandwiches, good service, and a relaxed atmosphere. Patio seating. I had the prosciutto and mozzarella panini, which comes with kettle chips and a pickle spear, and it was quite tasty. read more

The Trough - Prosciutto and mozzarella panini. It was so delicious, I forgot to take the picture until several bites in! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Missoula, Montana

Fabulous food and charming modern farmstyle atmosphere. Kind of off the beaten path in a neighborhood but worth a little drive near the parks lining the drive. The bacon and hashbrowns were perfect and the strawberry jam was homemade. It's tough to get excited about a breakfast but I am. I want to cone back for lunch and dinner too. Wish I had taken photos before we gobbled ip our food but the one food photo is of my slow eating child's food. Visiting Missoula or live here? This place is cute with great food for Missoula! read more

Today was my first time visiting after finding this location on yelp and this is such a hidden gem! I would have never found this amazing restaurant if it wasn't for yep! My girlfriend and I went for brunch this morning and both for the basic two egg breakfast. This was certainly a very simple, yet delicious breakfast that paired amazing with the three dollar mimosas. All the items on their menu looked very good for breakfast especially the breakfast sandwich. The inside of the restaurant was surprisingly big and looked very nice. It is certainly very rustic and reminded me of a farm house, which I feel was exactly what they were going for. The floors and tables very constantly being cleaned and majority of the outside seating was covered which is where we sat. The service was good, our orders were taken quickly and both our drinks and food arrived fast. By far the best breakfast I have had in the Missoula area and appreciated the local feel and ambiance. I am certainly excited to go back and try some of the items for both breakfast and lunch! read more

Super yummy food and cozy atmosphere. We were visiting from out of town and were in the area. Best clam chowder and that's saying something since we're from Seattle area. Next time we're this way you can bet we'll be back! read more

Sunday am brunch. A bit out of the way but what the heck. The Wait was twice as long as told when we arrived. Many locals clearly gather and chat so turnover is slow. Menu is limited. Food and service were acceptable but not extraordinary. Food portions were reasonable but not generous. There are several good Sunday brunch places in town- this is not on my top ten. read more

Best burger I've ever had! Hickory smoked BBQ. We went there just to have a good meal but didn't have SUPER high hopes. I highly recommend this place and the staff were super helpful as they should be. read more

This is perfect neighborhood eatery even if you don't live in the neighborhood. It's worth the drive from Reserve street. Not just good food but a real sense of community. We love bringing our friends to eat here. Not just a restaurant but a deli and ice cream shop too. Staff is very friendly and attentive to your needs. Well managed, clean and comfortable. read more

Everything about this place... yes! Our waitress was a sweet older lady which was part of the feel of this amazing farmy yesteryear restaurant which reminds me of the good old days while being well kept and simple. It is bright and the tables are not squashed together. The food was delicious! My husband and I split a burger and an Italian sub and both were something we would order again! We didn't get any ice cream as I believe it was Big Dipper ice cream which we aren't a fan of but overall we will definitely be back! Also there is a little store as part of the restaurant as well that I meant to check out. Excited to visit it on our next trip there. read more

A friend met me at the Trough for breakfast after church last Sunday. The special of the day was Crab Eggs Benedict, which we both ordered. To die for!! It was so yummy that even my Covid-challenged taste buds could taste it. I can't wait to have it again. read more

We stopped by today for a Father's Day lunch lunch. With great hopes we stepped in and were very impressed what's the dining room and its contemporary design. Well done considering it used to be an old dairy. I ordered the Hickory bacon cheeseburger my partner ordered the ruben sandwich. The food was outstanding and kudos to the kitchen. This alone would be enough to come back.. The only problem we had was the lack of a friendly staff, the only exception was the young lady at the register when we paid the bill. It seemed as if there was a gray cloud over the dining room. It was two hours to close, not sure what the problem was. If there was a problem I'm unaware of, I apologize. Aside from that it would have been 5 stars and we'll definitely try the Trough again. read more

The food was delicious but service could be friendlier. We had everything we needed from the server but very limited smiles on their faces. Overall would be back again! read more

The farmers skillet is legit! Also love the two egg breakfast. If you want something lighter opt for the smaller breakfasts, they are great as well. Love the home made jam! read more

I find not the friendly this place I have ever gotten coffee yet. They lost count of my coffee because they did not have any more stamp cards available. I went in there and told her I had a stamp card and she doubted me I am 66 years old and I'm not going to come into scam a cup of coffee. I have knocked her back since then. This place is a joke which the way they treat people who come in for coffee obviously it doesn't seem like they really want you there also the coffee wasn't very good and the service like I said was horrible the bathroom was so dirty read more
