I am in love with The Top Hat! The beautiful brick walls amid wooden detailed bar creates a cozy and welcoming vibe the moment you walk in. We came for dinner not on a weekend so didn't have the live band and crowd to contend with within h made it feel more relaxed and easier to chat. We split a cheeseburger and were provided options such as lettuce wrapped, gluten free bun or regular bun on the side. I always appreciate those who take care of us gluten sensitive and those managing celiac. The toasted bun hit the spot for the hubs and I almost ordered a second batch of fries enjoying every bit of the homemade pickled ranch and the zesty ketchup. When you want to return to a place just for the house made condiments you know you've found a gem. Also a shout out to our TOP notch server, Sophie, who took the time to pour my canned beer into a glass and offer just the right amount of small talk and care to water refills and was really pleasant! Would highly recommend this to those passing through as the locals already know what a gem this is.
Great food and outdoor seating - highly recommend spicy caramel chicken tacos- the sweet caramel followed by the spicy BBQ hits your palate perfectly!!! Forgot to take a photo- but look at the menu!!
10/10. Would highly recommend. Everything here was delicious, quick service. Nice ambiance.
Carnitas tacos are delicious! The Spirit in the Sky cocktail was perfectly spicy while refreshing. My friend's chicken and waffles weren't great. The service was friendly and anticipatory. Overall, great spot to enjoy with friends!
Had a late lunch here to top off my first visit to Montana. Service was prompt and friendly. Papa Don't Preach cocktail - mmm, nice and spicy Spirit in the sky cocktail - kinda tastes like a watered-down version of the Papa Don't Preach. Chile Rellenos tacos - fresh and delicious. I wasn't sure if there was any cheese on mine, so I asked for some on the side. My waiter went above and beyond and brought me a 2nd order of tacos! This definitely wasn't expected and I'll never forget such amazing service. Sitting outside is great for people watching. Definitely recommend
