Mac & cheese is far more than just a kids’ classic, and for that we are thankful. While it’s a fairly easy dish to make at home, it’s much more fun (and often more delicious) when someone else makes it for us.

Recently, Redbook compiled a list of the best spot in every state to get takeout mac & cheese, and their pick for Montana might surprise you.

According to Redbook, the DeSoto Grill in Kalispell serves the best mac & cheese in Montana.

The restaurant sits inside the century-old Forge building, which was once used as a blacksmith shop.
These days, the DeSoto Grill is known for its rockabilly barbecue theme.

Rockabilly is one of the earliest styles of rock and roll music in the country, and BBQ is... well, delicious.
The smoked meats are cooked inside a commercial Traeger Smoker, which owners Shawnna and Willie Steele owned before they even opened the place.

Both Shawna and Willie have Montana roots, and they opened this restaurant after spending years working in the restaurant industry in Oregon. It's safe to say everyone in Kalispell is happy they came home.
All it takes is reading a few Yelp or Google reviews to see that the homemade mac & cheese is just as popular as the smoked meats.

The DeSoto Mac is freshly made comfort food done right.
You can order your mac as an entree, or get it on the side of your BBQ so you can have the best of both worlds.

Children and adults alike tend to agree that this is the best side.
The DeSoto Mac comes in a traditional form, but you can also get a few variations like Jalapeno or Smoky Bacon.

Occasionally a specialty mac will even be one of the daily specials.

While they are open for dine-in, you're also welcome to get Montana's best mac & cheese to-go and eat it at home in your pajamas as nature intended.
