It's a tradition that started in the 1920s and was popular until the 1960s.

These dishes were often served on blue plates and had smaller portion sizes.

Not many places offer 'blue plate specials' these days, but a few restaurants still provide these specials.

Are there any in Montana?

Offering both breakfast and lunch, Cafe Regis is known for their incredibly affordable prices and fantastic food.

Cafe Regis is perfect for a Western mountain town like Red Lodge.

It fits in perfectly with their old brick buildings and classic shops. Cafe Regis will transport you back in time.

Are there any other restaurants in Montana that have blue plate specials?

There might be.

We know places like Burger Bob's in Bozeman and others have discounted or specials daily.

You don't see diners like this in Montana anymore.

More restaurants should bring back blue plate specials with the prices of everything these days.
