Steve's is our favorite place to eat in Helena!
We live about 90 miles away, and when we go to Helena, we go to Steve's! It is a great pre-incentive for my husband for having to go through Costco with me. 😆
This is such a great little diner. One thing I love is that they have a separate gluten-free menu that includes breakfast and lunch! I don't have to second guess (or ask!) what is okay for me to order.
The service has always been great— every hostess, every server—they all appear to love their job! Even when they are busy, they are attentive!
My favorite menu item is the gluten-free Huckleberry Waffle. (I even remembered to take a picture, even though I was already elbow deep in it!) I order it every time, along with a Denver Omlette and hashbrowns. (I have a big appetite, and it shows! Lol)
My husband jumps around the menu more than I do, but he LOVES the bacon and will get a side of it with whatever he is ordering!
Our last time here, we had Jonathan as our server. He was absolutely amazing at his job. He checked on us throughout our visit. The food we ordered was really good. They are very accommodating to my wife's gluten allergy.
My husband and I had the best chicken and waffles from Nosh Cafe. Food 10/10! The staff are so kind and patient as well. Veronica was SO sweet and helpful the entire time. She was super understanding and helped when my family had a spill. Also, there are gluten-free options that super yummy! Kid/toddler friendly! Amazzziing!
3/12/2025. Today we ventured out to a highly recommended Benny’s Bistro, just a few blocks from downtown Helena. The building and decor is very tasteful with an Art Deco feel. The menu is a mixture of soups, salads, and light sandwiches with many vegetarian, gluten free, and vegan options.
I ordered the ham and cheese panini with chip and house slaw. I didn’t care for the slaw at all, but I offered it to Otto and he loved it. The panini, made on their house-made bread was excellent. The “chips” (as they call them) are really more like tortilla strips.
Otto ordered the Montana Rancher roast beef cold sandwich and he loved it.
This is definitely not the place for meat-loving, tator tot eating cowboys, but I would bring my wife here for an upscale date night. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Family Roots Restaurant won us over! Clean, fresh tastes with excellent flavors and textures. My wife is confident that her gluten and seafood avoidances will be not only respected, but that the kitchen will work with her to provide delicious alternatives. Whenever we visit Butte from our home in Seattle, we will come here!
I eat here on the regular. New ownership has been great. Food can be indulgent or granola healthy - up to you. Coffee that'll make life worth living. Service and kitchen folks are as fine an example of Helenans as you'll find anywhere.
Service is probably quicker than ever before.
Easier and easier to accommodate your food needs here. Celiac friendly, vegetarian/vegan friendly, keto capable, this place will do it for you for sure!
I’m gluten free, so I ordered the four berry with whipped cream on a buckwheat crepe (you can order any of their crepes with buckwheat to make them GF). Everything about it was fantastic! The atmosphere and staff are welcoming and warm, and the food is so good. My partner ordered the tiramisu crepe and loved it!
