Benny's Bistro
Aug 6, 2009 by LJB from Boulder, CO
Overall Rating: 9
Food:[9] • Service:[7] • Atmosphere:[9]

• Food good.
• Waitress bad.

“Food was creative and good. Waitress seemed to want us to leave, though: tried to hand us the bill while asking if we wanted anything else (still eating) and had to ask her to bring dessert tray (could see someone else being shown it) and to please offer coffee. Offered coffee without mentioning that they have espresso, etc. Having been a waitress in fine dining, I can tell you that this is not good for the restaurant nor for the waitress's tips.”

Silver Star Steak Company
Nov 6, 2007 by Joel from Billings
Overall Rating: 8
Food:[8] • Service:[9] • Atmosphere:[7]

• Very good food, nice menu, excellent bar, good location.
• Too popular, meaning you have to wait for seating and forget quiet dining.

“The silver star is a very good steak house with an excellent bar and good wine list. I have dined there several times and always had very good food and service. The prices are on the high side for Helena, but fair for the quality provided. It is popular and usually crowded, therefore, not the place for a quiet dinner unless you come early or late. The decor is tasteful upscale. It is adjacent to the great northern hotel, making it convenient for the traveler. .”

Grub Stake Ham Country
May 13, 2007 by Bill from Helena
Overall Rating: 3
Food:[5] • Service:[3] • Atmosphere:[1]

• Location.
• Smoke. You have to wash your cloths when you leave.

“This could be a great restaurant but it¿s so smoky from the bar which is attached to the dining area. The bar is a local watering hole and the chain smokers flock, including the staff. It is very sad to let such a business go up in smoke. But there is light at the end of the tunnel. When the state enacts the no smoking law, then the public can enjoy.”

Jorgenson's Restaurant And Lounge

Overall Rating: 4
Food:[3] • Service:[3] • Atmosphere:[3]

• Always plenty of seats.
• Fish heads.

“Typical of a 1-star dining experience - nothing special. if you like instant mashed potatoes, you are in luck. choice of wine is 'red' or 'white' great view of the parking lot.”

Overland Express

Overall Rating: 4
Food:[2] • Service:[2] • Atmosphere:[5]

• Fresh road kill.
• Local pretense.

“Local yahoos get pretty loud and drunk while waiting for dinner. Better off staying home with a can of beer and a hot-pocket.”
