Bistro - Cooke City-Silver Gate

I have a few dinners at this place in 2008, hope they still do the same good work!

Very friendly, good food! They had the good shoe string fries. We got chili cheese fries

Excellent food and atmosphere...would dine there again and again!

Short Version:They could improve a lot of things.There's a reason they do it this way, I think.Long Version:I stopped here because I was cold from riding all morning in the rain without rain gear. A lot of the other eateries had lots of cars out front this had none. That says a lot, but it was still morning and they just opened up.Ordering was easy, and the pricing was comparable to a lot of places around the region.The seem to cook everything made to order. You can hear them cooking from the dining area, and it sound like grilling and frying is going on. The burger was pretty good, and it reminded me of backyard grill quality. The fries were good too.They bring you your food with condiment packets, and your soda is in a room temperature can. They bring a cup with ice in it. So, this might be because of COVID-19, but I'm not sure. I think it might have something to do with the food supply chain in this area of the country.Their supplier might have limits on what they can bring since it's a remote location, or maybe they don't want to order certain supplies because it's can be expensive if you are remote. I don't know. The thing is it felt like the burger was good, but the rest of the experience felt like I was in a gas station assembling my own burger.Maybe the rest of the menu is more what they focus on. At the end it felt like the price was higher than what I saw on the menu. I guess the drink was extra, but it felt disproportionately high priced.

Wife and I stopped here on a whim for a late breakfast.Food was very good and service was excellent. Great prices too.Can't say enough good things about this place.
