Order From A License Plate Menu At This Garage-Themed Eatery In Montana

Sometimes you discover a restaurant here in Montana that has it all: A scrumptious menu, reasonable prices, a friendly staff, and a quirky theme, which isn't necessary but is always appreciated. The Garage Soup Shack & Mesquite Grill in Bozeman has all that and more, right down to the license plate menus. If you've never dined at this one-of-a-kind eatery, you owe it to yourself to go.

Please note, the Garage Soup Shack has permanently closed.

You'll find The Garage Soup Shack & Mesquite Grill at 451 E Main Street in Bozeman.

The building was once a mechanic's garage, but since 2003, it has been this wonderful soup-simmering spot.

You wouldn't think a former garage would make a charming restaurant space, but it does.

It could be the decor, or it could be the constant wonderful scent of homemade soup.

The menu here is casual, but the food is top notch.

The beef is grass fed and local, the chicken is all natural, and the salads are fresh.

But what really makes The Garage locally famous is the irresistible freshly made soups.

They serve Pork Chile Verde, Blue Moose Clam Chowder, Grandma's Chicken Soup, and Tomato Basil daily, plus two rotating specials.

The BBQ here is also unreal.

Order some mesquite grilled ribs or a slow-roasted BBQ pulled pork sandwich and see for yourself.

Other than the food, the highlight of the experience is ordering said food from the license plate menus.

It only adds to the fun.

The Garage's soup was just voted Best Soup in Montana for 2019 by The Daily Meal.

They call the Tomato Basil 'about as comforting as a bowl of soup can get'.

The Garage Soup Shack & Mesquite Grill is open daily from 11 - 9.

Come try the best soup in Montana -- and when the weather warms up, order one of their famous shakes.
