Restaurants in Miles City

For a small Montana town, Miles City offers several pretty good restaurants. The Stagecoach Station, 3020 Stower St. (tel. 406/234-2288), offers steak, seafood, great barbecue, and pasta (dinner items are in the $10-$20 range) with Old West hospitality and atmosphere to match -- from the boot upholstery to "old Gabby" greeting you at the door. It's open daily from 6:30am to 10pm (Fri-Sat until 11pm). For fine dining, visit Club 519, 519 Main St., on the second floor of the Professional Building (tel. 406/232-5133), a softly lit, quiet, comfortable restaurant serving very good steaks and seafood, with dinner prices in the $10-to-$30 range. It's open daily from 5 to 10pm. For a vintage Montana diner and corresponding grub, look no farther than the 600 Cafe, 600 Main St. (tel. 406/234-3860), with hearty American standards for breakfast and lunch, a well-worn breakfast counter, and maroon booths. Menu items are $3 to $9.
