Lunch at Fuddrucker’s
I haven’t been to Fuddrucker’s for what seems like a very long time. I’ve always liked the ambiance, including a diverse collection of folks who like burgers, including, in the West End establishment which includes an outdoor patio, some ducks who are paying attention to anything that drops from the table; and there is usually [… Read More]
Grains of Montana on Grand
A good all-around restaurant open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They advertise artisan breads, which I think means home-made, good-looking and certainly good-tasting, all from Montana wheat grown on a farm near Nashua MT. But the Nielsen’s say that “artisan” means this: made from scratch without fillers or stabilizers, by people skilled in the art [… Read More]
West End Restaurant: MacKenzie River Pizza Co
Just across the street from Enzo’s, this slightly lower class pub—lower than Enzo’s that is—serves some very nice pizza and other things that go well with beer and wine of varying sorts. Nothing really fancy. Didn’t see much of seafood on the menu. In contrast to its neighbor it is open for lunch. Service good, [… Read More]
Art Work in the Pubs
This fine brew comes from Belt MT and is being served at the Red Robin Restaurant in West Park Plaza, and, I suppose, at other fine dining establishments around Billings MT.
The Soup Place at Night
Finally, we had a chance to stop in for an evening meal at one of our favorite lunch time hangouts. They have a bigger menu in the evening, that is, more than just soup and sandwiches, but it is still fairly simple fare. The wine and beer is still pretty good. I forget the name [… Read More]
The Soup Place Scores Again
One of my favorite Billings restaurants is The Soup Place on Broadway. Lunches are mainly some form of soup and a sandwich which is a sensible lunch. They have a number of set sandwiches and soups and then some variables every day. Friday, 20 November, was a good day. Naturally I expected some very good [… Read More]
Another Good Restaurant
Bin 119, or maybe Bin 11-9, I’m not entirely sure as the 9 is smaller with a line under it. Anyway, it is located on Broadway, probably 119 Broadway, near the big brewpub and across from The Soup Place. Looked like a good lunch menu including a very good Reuben sandwich, this day and the [… Read More]
Cafe Italia
On trips to the McCormick Cafe next door we have been noticing this place on Montana Ave, usually not open because we eat breakfast or lunch at McCormick’s and Cafe Italia only serves an evening meal. It does, however, open at 4:30 in the afternoon, which means that us early birds are well taken care [… Read More]
Good Eats in Billings
We noticed we were hungry a few days ago while looking for some odds and ends at Bed Bath and Beyond, which looks very much like the store it replaced, Linens and Things, wasn’t it? The new place has a lot of useful things, especially for the house. Next door was The Staggering Ox, not [… Read More]
Magic City Rebuilding
There seems to be a fair amount of building and rebuilding going on here in the Magic City. There is a new building going up on the corner of 17th and Poly. It looks like it might shelter medical types, maybe even a plastic surgeon or two. I think they refer to themselves as soul [… Read More]
