Restaurants near East Helena

“One gal that works there always seems so moody. Acts like she's something special and you ordering coffee is really a bother to her. Everyone else is great and the coffee is yum!!”

“I was at a celebration that featured a cake, cupcakes and sugar cookies. They are the best I've ever had. Melt in your mouth and from what I've learned she's got very good prices. Will be giving her all my baked goods business in the future. Just make sure you place your order well in advance to make sure she can accommodate.”

“Kate is wonderful! I got a new job in April and as a result of the job and all of the fun I had over the summer I lost control of my house. Kate helped me gain control and now I am enjoying my weekends again. She really cares about the way your house looks.”

“Great experience here with 2 stories of seating, live music, and Elkhorn views. The beer itself is un-impressive and honestly mediocre. However, their food is delicious and surprisingly one of the better places to grab food in the Helena area for a reasonable price. The Panko Chicken Sandwich with fries was bomb”

“Great food & service. If you order the chicken fried steak for breakfast, you get 2 pieces of steak. Definitely enough to share - like the fries that come with the burgers. ?Parking: Don't let the number if cars out in front scare you. Typically there is always room inside.”

“Thought I was needed for VNEA ? league. It was a good trip, even though they didn't need me to play.I had not been out there since I worked for Capital Taxi in 2013.”

“I love this gem. If you can get in on a day that it is actually open you are in for a treat. Unfortunately recently it has not been open on it’s posted hours of operation. It’s a little drive if you’re planning to dine from outside the East Helena Area. My suggestion is if you happen to have a friend that lives in the area have them check for you. This restaurant is so good that you can rarely get a call through! I again say I LOVE THIS RESTAURANT!!”

“Really good food!! We got there during the lunch rush and the servers and cooks didn’t skip a beat. Service was great and food came out got and fast. Will be going to this spot over and over again when I visit ”

“Visiting from Florida, and this place was absolutely delicious! Got the steak breakfast burrito and it was fresh, hot, scrumptious and HUGE. Nice people, great prices, and homemade grub. Come try this spot! Open 7am-3”

“My husband has been telling me for months to come here for lunch. Finally went today and it was outstanding. Food was delicious and prompt. As a mother with small kids in the back seat I also very much appreciated the service. Anthony was friendly and kind as I figured out ordering there for the first time. The kids and I LOVED the food. Absolutely will be back.”

“The food and atmosphere is always great as you’ll read in every review, but I must shout out the hostess! We came tonight for dinner for my husband’s first time while on a business trip and the hostess was hands down the sweetest ever! I don’t think I’ve ever been to a restaurant with a better hostess. She was kind, friendly and attentive. Lucca’s for so many reasons will continue to be my favorite restaurant! Thank you all for another 5 star experience.”

“This place was delicious and amazing people will definitely be back!Kid-friendliness: Very good with my kids my youngest is a terror and they were very sweet and tried helping him calm down at a few points”

“We found Nosh as we parked to walk Downtown Helena. I viewed reviews on Google and thought I’d be a great lunch spot. We were delighted!Close to downtown shops, casual setup where you order food at the counter and they deliver it to the table. You can see a lot of the food preparation as you’re ordering. The staff was very sweet and slightly modified a meal I ordered. The chicken and waffles looked heavenly, although I was in the mood for something lighter. We ordered the Korean beef Broccoli, Green Goddess Salad, and a homemade biscuit with jelly. It was all very delicious, hit the spot, and our bellies left full and healthily happy. Some very healthy choices here!”

“The food was good and the portions were adequate. Our waitress (Cheri) was very polite and attentive. Will Be back again. ate here again on July of 22 and not such a good experience this time. They were busy but we waited for our food for a good 30 min. A bit much. Then my toast came out burnt. I don't know why it was even brought out to my table. It should've of been thrown away and re done. 2-225-24. My husband had eggs over medium and they were as runny as the eggs over easy which could have a little more sustenance. Otherwise as usual, the food and service was really good. And we enjoy coming here every week if possible.”

“I sincerely mean it when I say Sunflower is my favorite business in all of Helena. Incredibly kind owners and staff, in my opinion the best bread from any of the many wonderful Helena bakeries. Our family happily makes a regular stop from the other side of town for their goods.Everything is great, my favorites are:Classic sourdoughCinnamon Raisin loaf on SaturdaysBlack pepper cheddar baguettesThursday veggie sammies with sprouts and cream cheese on focacciaChocolate BabkaTahini braid thingsDietary restrictions: Vegan molasses cookie often available”

“The 1 star person was having a bad day. This place is the bomb. Lovely coffee, fantastic pastries and the croissants with ham or sausage are worth buying and taking for your lunch. Also the basket of day old bread is deceiving, because it is heavenly, not what you would expect for day old. Love this place. I go to it every time I visit Helena, always a line and always perfect!!! get there early for the best pickins.”

“The beer is good and the views from the top floor are fantastic. You get a panoramic view of the city including Mt. Helena, the Cathedral, surrounding mountains, the Sleeping Giant and much more. You truly feel like you are in Big Sky Country when you sit on their deck and enjoy your beer while drinking in the view.”

“One of the best coffees I've ever had.So my go-to drink is a cortado, oat milk if they've got it. You can judge a place's (& the barista's) knowledge by what happens when you order one. If they ask for sizing, or number of espresso shots, or simply make you a latte - it sets the stage.At Montago, they didn't even blink. Served up the perfect cortado with a shot glass of sparkling water like it was their most common order. I never ask for a sparkling water sidecar, but if it shows up it's welcomed and I'm impressed.The vibe of the place is great too. High ceilings + industrial feel. Big enough to have several discreet areas to sit and talk, but still keeping everyone together for that sense of place.If I could rate with ½ or ¼ ⭐'s - I'd give them ... no seriously - they'd still get a full 5! ?(pictured: latte & cortado)”

“Small little restaurant attached to a casino. Very busy on a Friday night but we'll worth the wait. Staff was friendly and service was quick. The food was delicious. I would definitely recommend stopping in if you happen to be in Helena!”

“Super friendly staff and cool vibes. Grab some popcorn by the entrance and grab your favorite drink. An underrated drink is the nonalcoholic guava sparkling water. It’s made in house and good!There is an upstairs and an outdoor porch which has a cool view for people watching.This place has great beers which can be in pints, growlers and kegs.”

“I loved the smoothie and the whole experience while me and my family were in Helena for my cousins wedding and we drove all the way from Michigan but oh my gosh that smoothie was so good the huckleberry is popular in Montana and I know why now but the girl was so nice and the service was amazing!!”

“Truly an amazing brewery. Everything we sampled was awesome. Honestly one of the best breweries I've been to in awhile. Owners we super nice and let us sample a few beers before we settled on what we liked best. Ambiance is really nice as well. We'll definitely be back next time we are in town.”

“Polish Sausage, Ham, & Lentil soup ? is 5 stars on it's own! The chicken curry soup ? is also superb!! I don't know that a Gyro, Pint of soup, and a Greek salad is worth $35 but the soup is excellent!!”

“We have never had anything remotely bad from here. Always delicious pizza, cooked and made right, very friendly atmosphere. They make it easy with online ordering. I wish all the restaurants in Helena were as good.”

“Great food, service for our party of about 7 or 8 was a bit lackluster, but the waitress seemed to be serving the entire restaurant by herself so benefit of the doubt there...One lady in our party with allergy concern/request for ingredient removed was made normal, her replacement was also made wrong. I asked for iced coffee but got regular. Other than that orders were smooth.I had Irish eggs Benedict, VERY GOOD! great portion size, (most took home 1/4-1/2)...I was a pig and ate most of it though lol....will be trying again later”

“When a stranger heard that I was heading to Helena, they told me to not miss Big Dipper Ice Cream. Located on a cute pedestrian street, I was impressed that even on a slow morning, there was still a few people ordering ahead of me. I asked what their top flavor was, and was told that it was huckleberry. I have gone huckleberry picking in California before, so I was quite excited to try the ice cream. I wouldn't say that it was the richest/creamiest ice cream that I've ever had, but it was quite nice. Minimal crystalization, just the right amount of sweet, pleasant flavor. It wasn't all that cozy inside, so I opted for the to-go option, as did everyone else before me, but there is a decent amount of seating for days where you don't want to eat ice cream outdoors.”

“My absolute favorite place to "wine" down. Everyone there really knows the wines but more importantly they get to know you and your individual tastes. The meats and cheeses are the highest quality and there is a great selection of wines by the glass or the bottle for whatever you crave. it's one of the best businesses in Helena.”

“Called and thankfully got a last minute table at Bennys on a Friday night… and the person on the phone was extremely accommodating and kind! We were seated as soon as we walked in the door and from beginning to end, the service was amazing. Our waiter knew the menu inside and out, was personable, and funny. On top of the great service- the food was extraordinary. The four of us all had different plates- the green curry, the pork sugo, the Montana stroganoff, and the prawns special- and the plates were so clean after we were done, not sure they needed washing. Also need to mention that the Caesar to start was one of the best I’ve ever had. We will definitely be visiting Bennys again and look forward to another exquisite experience.”

“Never usually a complaint. Just a minor one. The location is a bit challenging. Very busy. it's the only drive thru on that side of the bridge. Be nice if they had a way to have both windows open, to increase times. 10mins per car is a bit long. Maybe even take over the old Hardee's building? Love your coffees!!!! Thank you for all you do”

“An amazing coffee shop and general store. I love the vibe of this shop. It’s such a cool place that you can easily spend 20 min at. It’s also a cool local spot. I’d recommend coming here if you want a cup of coffee or get some cool gifts for a wide variety of people.The inner fire latte is really good!Dietary restrictions: They have oat, soy and regular milkParking: This location is downtown so it’s tough to find a spot at certain timesKid-friendliness: Lots of kid items for them to look at”
