Here in Montana, we have some incredible hidden gem restaurants that can be found in every city or town. Some of the best-hidden gem restaurants are diners, but those can be hard to find.

Here's the thing, the occasional hidden gem spot isn't a hidden gem, especially to locals.

We found a list of the Best Hidden Gem Diners in Every State by Cheapism, and the spot for Montana is far from a hidden gem.

The best-hidden gem diner in Montana, according to Cheapism, is the Western Cafe.

The Western Cafe is a staple of downtown Bozeman, but it's hardly a hidden gem in Montana. The Western Cafe is one of the main places to have a fantastic breakfast in the Gallatin Valley. The Western's chicken fried steak, cinnamon rolls, and biscuits and gravy are always in high demand. If you try to go to The Western Cafe after 9 AM, you will wait a while for a seat or table.

The Western Cafe is a gem of a restaurant, but it's hardly a hidden gem.

If we had our choice of hidden gem diners in Montana, we might have a few ideas that would fit that description. There's Paul's Pancake Parlor in Missoula, a breakfast staple for 60 years. The breakfast there is simple, delicious, and a fun throwback.

The other hidden gem diner we would recommend is Betty's Diner in Polson. They might not serve breakfast, but it's a fantastic place to have lunch or dinner while looking over Flathead Lake.

After all of this, who's feeling a little hungry?
