Frommer's Review

Located in the basement below a local watering hole called Mac's Last Cast, Blacktail Station used to be the Mine Shaft, and some of the decorations from its past life still remain -- like the trophy heads. But generally it's a more upscale, more yuppie-ish place than you'd expect in agricultural Dillon; prints by Montana artist Larry Zabel now adorn the walls as well as the hard-rock mining detritus. The food is very traditional and very good. The steak almost melts in your mouth, and the twice-baked potato is very popular. For dessert, the chefs crank out a killer crème brûlée.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
