We love good food in Montana, and we’re not too picky about the details. We don’t mind if the restaurant is a five star eatery or a total dive, as long as we get a delicious meal. And if you’re ever in the Cooke City-Silver Gate area, you can enjoy delicious dining in a log cabin that dates back to 1937.

The Log Cabin Cafe is located at 106 US Highway 212 W. in Silver Gate.
