    If I could uproot this place and transport it back to California with me I would! Little gems like "The Malt Shop" are a dying breed. If you walk in here expecting a fine dining experience please turn around and drive a few hundred miles till you find one. What you will get here is classic all American dinner cuisine that warns your soul and sticks to your ribs. I have a couple of diners where I live and I thought that they were ok but now after visiting here I can truly see that I was horribly mistaken. The Malt Shop feels like you're on Route 66 stopping for a quick bite and a shake before continuing on your trip. Had a cheese burger (sadly forgot the name) that came with a fried egg(what is already not to love) and added bacon by recommendation.... It's classic flavors! Can't beat a simple tasty burger. We additionally had the fried mushrooms (well done and not greasy at all as I've had at other locations), a family order of tots (yes to family size!) and the Huckleberry Mini Cones. They additionally have salads, a slew of ice cream/shakes, and other items you would see at a dinner like tacos and such. The decor is classic Americana with elements of Route 66, "I Love Lucy", and other classics. A small arcade in the back that sadly had a few of the games out of order but was not what I was there for. After having our ice cream we sat on the benches out front as they closed up and we're greeted by what I would have to say was the pest control manager. An adorable black cat that was beyond affectionate and had no problems getting on your lap and enjoying being pet by you. If you're traveling in Montana and happen to be passing by it would foolish of you not to stop and enjoy.

    A must stop on our way back to Missoula. I had a perfect huckleberry shake. It was worth the calories that were packed into a small. Look this place up. As you arrive, it looks like a wild Wild West scene and " The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" theme immediately cues up in your head.

    A trip back in time.

    A trip back in time... Friendly service... Cheap prices... Ultra small town feel. Love this place. I got a cheeseburger a pepsi and a malt cost about 10 bucks. Ive been spending lots of time in big cities this is the opposite. Love it. Highly recommended!!!

    This is the best burger joint in Montana!!!!!

    Must Stop if You're Looking For A Real Montana Bar with Good Food and Drink…read more Luckily we came across this local watering hole on the trip to the National Bison Range. Ambiance: If you want a place that cowboys and tourists can mingle while taking in the real feel of the Big Sky then this is your stop. Customer Service: Granted the bar wasn't crowded when we arrived. Still, I feel the friendliness of the staff would pretty much ensure you won't have to wait to be seated, look at a menu or place an order. Feeling a bit on the rustic side we decided to grab a seat at the bar, which proved to be a good choice as I had the opportunity to meet the new owner, funny lady - good times. Bottomline, every staff and patron there was just good people, and welcoming to strangers (i.e. tourists). Chow: Based on limited choices and past reviews I decided on the burger, and dang glad I did. Not only was the patty properly seasoned and cooked but it was also stacked with fresh crisp veggies. If you're coming in from a day on the range I highly recommend a burger as ours were tasty, and very filling. The fries were also good but to be honest mine could've used a bit more cook time as I prefer them really crisp. Cleanliness: Everything was wiped down and the bathroom was clean. The place was actually cleaner than I expected considering it's a local bar that can get quite busy with townsfolk coming in for a cold drink - or as was the case this day, coming in from the cold. Overall: Can't help but love this place. The Montana feeling definitely comes through and the crew working the pub were not only welcoming but fun. The Branding Iron is one of those locations that tears at you when it comes to giving it a rating. All the food we had was good but not gourmet so I'll give it 4 Stars. Then again what can you expect from a small town however; the customer service, drinks and atmosphere make it more than just a food place so I think a 5 Star grade based on a "small town pub scale" would be more than worthy for the Branding Iron.

    Gosh this place got great reviews of best hamburger but we were disappointed. It is a small bar…read morethat needs a little love and fixing up a bit. Chairs all had torn fabric and did not sit level. The bartender was great! She was on it. She was the bartender, cook, buser, dishwasher, etc. The burger was good just not as amazing as the reviews said. The tater tots were also good.
