The Gravel Bar- Ennis, MT

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Gravel-Bar/161752173883305?sk=info

This is a new bar in Ennis.  It took the place of the Claim Jumper and is attached to "Banditos" which is a great Mexican restaurant.  Banditos used to be in Virginia City and has since moved down the hill into Ennis.  It's a respectable burger.  You can eat at the bar and have Gravel Bar menu or Banditos menu which is a real bonus.  It's urban cowboy cuisine!

The Bear Claw- McAllister, MT/ now known as the McAllister Bar & Grill

This place just changed hands and has yet to open the "main dining room" and is just serving in the bar.  It is the quintessential western bar that represents a Montana town.  Montana town = 1 bar and 1 post office!  It's worth the strop. It's an experience, not necessarily a dining experience!

Ted's Montana Grill, Bozeman, MT

This is a solid burger!  I got the smoked bacon and blue cheese.  The blue cheese is outstanding- creamy and salty at the same time. Cooked perfectly.  Highly recommend it!

Effie's Burgers in Lewiston, ID

I haven't been to this joint yet. This is my friend Erica who went and sent the pictures.  I mean look at the size of this thing.  I had to get it up on-line and it's now on my  "to do list".  If you're cruising in Idaho, go for it!

Frosty Freeze- Drummond, MT

This is such a classic throw back place it's as if you walked into a time warp back to 1950.  They actually have a drive-in window that I did not use because I just had to go inside and check it out.  Words won't do it justice. It's a true experience.  I got the cheese burger combo that comes with Fries and a coke $5.  Next time I'd skip the fries and just get two burgers.  It's pretty good, all things considered. And when you're in the middle of nowhere in Montana- it's pretty damn good! Tastes a bit like a good Burger King burger.   If you're driving thru Montana, you just gotta stop in!
