Okay all, looking for some help. I will be coming back home for my little sister's wedding and will be spending a day/night in Bozeman (gotta see the stadium improvements!) before heading to the economic and cultural juggernaut that is the Mining City.

Having not spent much time back there in about 4 years, I'm looking for dining suggestions-one lunch and one dinner. Of course, Pickle Barrel and Oasis are the leaders in the clubhouse...but I'm wondering if there's anything "can't miss" that I don't know about.

Any input would be appreciated.

if you go to jimmy johns make sure they give you a bag

In all seriousness, for breakfast main street overeasy, soby's, and cateye are hard to pass up as is lunch at starky's

Waffles over pancakes would be my first suggestion.................

You dont need a bag if you go to Jimmy Johns...............

What happens in Vegas usually doesnt stay in Vegas like the commercials say it does.......................it usually follows you home and requires copious amounts of antibiotics and Vitamin E.

Storm castle cafe in the old hinky dinky, is a good place to get some breakfast, or lunch. IMO and it's right down from the stadium.

Nova Cafe (next to the Eagles Club on East Main) rocks my socks off for lunch/ brunch. They're not open for dinner. Dinner... I always get the black and blue burger at the Ale Works. And side salad. And a Bozone. mmmm....

Considering you're coming from Charlotte, which I'm assuming has lots of food options, I'd predict you are looking for some good ol' Montana Beef. For that, I think you've made a good choice with the Oasis, and the PB is a must see for nostalgia purposes.

Also, I know when I lived out of state one my first food stops when I came back to Montana was Mackenzie River...partly for the food, partly for nostalgia.

If you're coming back after July 26th, the RBar will be open...I've had some of my best liquid dinners there.

Oh man I forgot about the black and blue burger there. So, so good! Haven't had in years.

Excellent suggestions...thanks to all! Keep 'em coming. Hell, we may stay in Bozeman a couple of extra days before heading to Butte. Speaking of Butte, can anyone tell me if either Joe's or Nancy's (or both) are still open?

wbftg, you're spot on about the beef! Considering the pig is king down here, I'm definitely looking for some cow. (How's that for putting it on a tee for Alpha to take a swing?).

LOVE the news about the RBar reopening. Now, if they'll only bring back quarter beers and fifty cent Jack & Cokes in my honor. The good ol' days...

If there were quarter beers and fifty cent Jack and Cokes while I was in college, I would have literally drank myself to death.

There were a couple a couple quarter beer nights at LJ's that were touch-and-go. Lucky I never landed frozen in a snow bank overnight on the crawl, I mean walk, back to south hedges!

Joes and Nancys are both still open but there is better. Try the Red Door, in the old Lockets Bakery. Better pasties than anywhere in town.

I hate to start this argument again, but the Oasis has drastically gone down hill (was never that great in my opinion). Hit The Land Of Magic instead! Always outstanding!

When you are in Butte, hit the Freeway bar for a "WOP Chop", best pork chop sandwich hands down. Also great steaks at Casagranda's (formerly Land O Magic) or the Derby.

How so?

Last time I went, it was fantastic! (Granted it's been a year and a half since I was there.)
