“We drove all the way from MN after seeing a tik tok on this place. The staff was amazing and so friendly. The food, omg!! Was so so good! And so worth the drive! 10/10 would eat here again.”
Cafe • $$
“Love the atmosphere (outside) and the service was great. The pork and polenta dish was delicous. Pork was crispy and not dry. The polenta could stand on it's own. The salmon dish was delicous. The risotto was a little broken but that might of been because it was raining into the bowl lol. The pesto linguine with bay scallops was disappointing. It lacked depth of flavor and needed way more sauce. It was like a whisper of pesto. Scallops were good quality though.”

Bar • $
“Summit Chic... Mountain Modern... Bushcraft Beauty. Brings a hint of Alaskan Lore to the Montana Valley.
Killer Spirits!
bUuUut... They were Out of their Bloody Mary, which was why we swung through! The bar keep was exceptionally accommodating and apologetic for the missing menu items and clearly competent in his craft.
Quality Options overall, creative with an intentional quality of ingredients.
The Toast & Jam for instance had a vanilla syrup and cinnamon bitters that brought Milk Chocolate notes playing tantalizing tricks on your palate.
The Rosy Finch hit more like a Mighty Mocaw with with the Tropical vibes of the Pineapple & Lime. So refreshing!
Docked a star... for that Lime Wedge. It was approx 7/8ths of a lime and cut with a Key... Wedged to mirror the Curve of the glass?
I'm clearly exaggerating... but not by that much.
All incredibly Positive overall and good vibes with high ceilings and plenty enough to keep the eyes well fed.
Highly Recommended!”

Bistros • $$
“We couldn’t have been happier with the catering for our son’s rehearsal dinner and welcome party over Memorial Day weekend. The Korean BBQ menu was a huge hit and offered something for everyone, spanning a wide range of tastes and generations.
Walker was incredibly flexible in helping us select the perfect menu and was exceptionally easy to work with, even while we were coordinating everything from another state. The food was outstanding—the mashed potatoes were absolutely delicious, the charcuterie spread was both beautiful and incredibly tasty, and we received numerous compliments about how perfectly the beef was cooked.
Everything was displayed beautifully, and the entire experience—from delivery and setup to service and cleanup—was seamless. The staff was lovely, professional, and attentive throughout the event.
We received so many compliments from our guests and are grateful for the role Walker and his team played in making the celebration so special. We would highly recommend them for any event!”

Fresh fruit on the side was a huge bonus!
Latte was perfect.
We will definitely be back.”
Burgers • $
“I love the burgers from Frugals especially the Hawaiian. However, the customer service I had from Johnathan S on Brooks was below satisfactory. I could not hear him on the speaker from the traffic. So I pulled up to the window to confirm my order. he was rude when I asked him to confirm it. then when I went to pull away he rolled his eyes at me. very unprofessional. My order was also not labeled correctly and not made correctly either. I will not be returning to that location.”

Today was extra special… there was only one employee mani g the store when normally there are three. My friend and I thought we would have to wait quite some time for our ice cream. Anna, the only employee there, was incredible!!! Despite being the only one there, she ROCKED IT LIKE A PRO!! She services everyone quickly, positively, professionally, and gave all of us a great experience!!! She deserves a raise or bonus!!!”

I am celiac and was hesitant to order any food but the owner said he was celiac and went the extra mile to prepare a gluten free breakfast scramble! It was amazing! So good we went back the next morning and would have gone the 3rd day but they are closed on Sundays.”

“Never been there, but I just tried their instant organic coffee!!! I bought it at a local store in Oregon. Wow!!!! I mean how did they get instant so smooth? I bought this box of packets months ago and was hesitant to try it because I thought it would be like all the others. You know? Where you tolerate them on a trip because you can’t get organic everywhere. But no!!! I’m going to their website right now to order packets for travel and home and just because they make life simpler with no guilt! ❤️”

“I can see why I don’t like any to eat out at fast food places. This is the most unfriendly atmosphere. Staff could care less if you place an order. They are more interested in visiting amongst themselves about events and people. Slow night yet register was closed forcing use of the kiosk. From out of town just passing through but I won’t be stopping by this location anytime soon.”

We called and I was able to speak to a manager who had amazing customer service skills. He gave us options on what we would like to fix the issue, and was very pleasant.
We went from being really bummed out to being overall satisfied because of how they handled the situation. Will return!”

I was told by a friend that they make their cream cheese in house and either way it is delicious and has the perfect tang. staff was pleasant and I got my bagel in a timely manner. The total was less money than I expected & I got a seat looking right through the windows at Higgins; and the hour went by before I knew it. nice atmosphere. perfectly funky for Missoula. I've been there twice and I will definitely be a return customer. Thanks!
I recommend trying this place!”
