People Come From All Over Montana To Feast On The Burgers At Bunkhouse Bar

The Bunkhouse Bar in Toston, Montana, is renowned for its delicious home-cooked meals and historic significance as the first bar on the Missouri River.

Toston, Montana, has a population of about 108. So if you've never heard of this tiny Broadwater County community, you're not alone. But what it lacks in amenities, it makes up for in big, juicy burgers and lively fun. The Bunkhouse Bar is the only eatery in Toston, but rest assured, it's the only one necessary.

The Bunkhouse Bar sits on US Highway 287 in Toston, where it has been a local favorite for years.

This place has a few bragging rights -- it was the first bar to pop up on the Missouri River.

The Bunkhouse is open daily for lunch and dinner.

And while it doesn't look like much from the outside (and the interior is pretty humble as well), don't let its looks fool you. This place is legit.

Many a Montanan has driven from Three Forks, Bozeman, and even Helena to eat here.

Travelers from out of state that spot this place on the highway are always glad when they give it a chance.

The burgers are, by far, the most popular menu items.
