When it comes to steak, Montana doesn’t mess around. Between the sprawling cattle ranches, locally raised beef, and a long tradition of working the land, it’s no wonder the Treasure State has some of the best steakhouses in the country. Now, one of them just earned national recognition.

Montanans take their steak seriously. From old-school supper clubs to modern chophouses with craft cocktails, great steak isn’t hard to find here. One rustic gem near Missoula just earned top honors on LoveFood’s list of the Best Steakhouses in America, and it’s no surprise to locals who’ve been going there for years.
