Over the next few months, friends and family will be getting together for holiday celebrations in Montana. They will exchange gifts, sing songs, watch movies, play games, and eat.

Luckily, here in the Treasure State, we have a wide variety of culinary creations that are sure to please any pallet. However, Montana is getting ready to welcome a legendary restaurant, and I, for one, am excited about it.

While "chain restaurants" might not be your thing, this one has a reputation for satisfying its customers and offering one of the most delicious meals out there. Before we tell you which restaurant is coming to Big Sky Country, let's look at some local Montana favorites no longer around.

Beloved Montana Restaurants No Longer Around

It's never easy saying goodbye to a place you love. Maybe it was your favorite spot growing up, or the place where you had your first date with your spouse.

Tony Roma's is coming to Montana

Not to be confused with the former NFL quarterback Tony Romo, Tony Roma's is a rib joint that has been around since the early 1970s. The restaurant started out in Miami and has become popular across the country, and in other counties as well.

This will be the restaurant's first location in Montana and if you love ribs, they have an impressive menu to choose from. Tony Roma's offers pork, beef, and lamb ribs as well as steaks, burgers, seafood, and pasta.

Roma's has long been a favorite for celebratory dinners be it an anniversary, birthday, or for those who just love a great meal. Of course, they will have some stiff competition as Montana has a few rib joints that are A+ such as Follow Yer Nose, Notorious P.I.G, and Bar 3.

Where will Tony Roma's be located?

The restaurant will be located inside the Holiday Inn in Great Falls and is scheduled to open on Monday, November 4th. Great Falls is home to several fine restaurants and this will no doubt, be a welcome addition.

As far as expansion goes, there is no word on whether the restaurant plans to add more locations across Montana at this time.
