Here in the last best place, we like to keep things simple. And while we’re happy that Montana’s restaurant scene has exploded with tasty new bistros and eateries in recent years, sometimes all we want is a good, old-fashioned meat and potatoes dinner. And that’s when we head to one of our classic spots, like Lolo Creek Steakhouse. Located in the Bitterroot Mountains just below Lolo Peak, this charming restaurant never disappoints.

The Lolo Creek Steakhouse is located right on US Highway 12 West, where it has been since 1987.
