They have great breakfast variety, lots of unique omelets and many many pancake, waffle and French toast options. .. I really liked their sausage variety.
BIG MISS — they do not accept AMEX. Waitress said many people want to use it the most. I can buy a coke at McDonald’s with my Amex, Steve’s needs to add a few cents if it’s a fee issue. On business travel, I’m required to use Amex as are my colleagues, scratch this off the list.

Steve’s café is a breath fresh air. The service is great and the food excellent. I especially like the smaller size breakfasts on the back page of the menu. So popular on weekends, plan on a wait in line.

This IS NOT us food service/​roma/​Sysco crap that taste like every other plate in the Denny’s/ihop/bob Evans.
Bacon — Perfect!
Eggs — From a dang shell!
Huckleberry Stuffed French Toast — Slap yo mama!
I saw Burritos bigger than Texas plated besides man-​sized servings of sausages and slices of ham you could take a nap under.

I had the hash brown two eggs and corn-​beef for breakfast. The service was wonderful. Coffee kept coming and the server was very attentive the entire time we were there. The food was on point and I had an overall positive experience. The next time I’m in Montana this will be my breakfast stop all the time.

Good food with nice size portions. We had the corned beef hash and the huckleberry pancakes. Both very satisfying! Good local spot to stop. Staff very friendly. Offered a cup of coffee while waiting for our table.

Best breakfast in Helena! I highly recommend the Café Monte Cristo, it’s delicious! The service is hit or miss, but because the food is so good I’m still giving it 5 stars. Also, they have the best Carrot Cake I’ve ever had!

A very popular place to eat in the Helena area. I have eaten here several times and the food has always been good. On this morning I ordered the full stack of Huckleberry pancakes with huckleberry sauce and maple syrup. I ordered the full stack thinking that the half stack would not be enough to eat, boy was I wrong! The pancakes were delicious and I had enough leftovers for 2 more mornings of eating. I also really enjoyed the coffee there. The service was exceptional and very friendly. I would go back anytime I am in Helena.

My first visit to Steve’s Café but not my last! I am here just for today on business. I found some great folks to hike with this morning and asked for recommendations from the locals for the best place for breakfast and coffee in Helena. I ordered the veggie omelet, add sausage, extra avocado, side of bacon. The omelet comes with two side items, I chose hash browns and «fruit cup». The fruit was actually fresh cut fruit, very good! All the food was cooked nicely. Initially, my service was quite slow. I had seven minutes from the time I ordered a cup of coffee and ice water to the time my waiter (Daniel) brought my drinks. I only noted the time because I was trying to order before my work phone call started. I had to write down my food order since the conference was starting and I hadn’t seen my drinks yet. After that tho, the service was more than made up for by the team work between Daniel and a waitress, Terri. Together, the team work was great and the service was very good! I sent my side of bacon back to please crisp up, the cook did a nice job without burning the bacon before sending it back to me. Overall, great experience and I believe the locals when they say it’s the best place for breakfast in Helena.

My friend and I went here for dinner here thinking it was J. B. Restaurant. But I guess the restaurant has changed ownership.
Yes, they serve dinner on Friday and Saturday between 4:30pm and 8:30pm.
The food here is good. Troy, our sever, was very attentive and helpful.

Crazy busy but since I was by myself I got a seat at the counter right away. Got an omelette with ham, cheese and spinach. Despite being packed my coffee was always full and my food came out reasonably fast. Hash browns are nothing to write home about but the omelette and pancakes were great. Everyone was very friendly.

Wow, crazy busy on a Sunday morning. But WORTH the wait. The eggs Benedict were outstanding and the service and staff were friendly and working their butts off. Can’t wait to come back.

Food was «pretty good», but way overpriced!!! I’ve been there for breakfast 3 times & will not go back. The pancakes are ALWAYS very dry & there really isn’t anything special that you couldn’t get elsewhere. I went to the new Steve’s on Montana & it took 20 minutes just to get a menu! Not worth it at all!!! I’ll go through McDonalds drive thru & get much better pancakes at half the price! Not trying to be a jerk, just being honest.

When Steve’s first opened we always enjoyed eating there. However, their motto now is: quantity over quality. The fruit cups are less than they serve in a chain restaurant. Only melons. I asked why they don’t add local fruits or vegetables from the Farmers market. The staff didn’t seem interested in my opinion.
The café’ is a favorite with people who want to eat alot and don’t care about the taste (look at the people who walk thru the door).
This morning we were there (the last time). I had a request and the manager answered very snippy. i don’t know what her name is. I rather eat at Sheila’s or Perkins from now on.

Steve’s food and service always exceed our expectations. It’s the only breakfast place we go to in Helena now.

I used to eat here a lot, the only reason I am giving it 2 stars is because the food is ok. However, I had a bad experience here recently, and wrote to the business to try and let them know and resolve it, and was met with a very disappointing response, which I do not wish to get into publicly. Suffice it to say, due to my recent experience and the response I received when trying to privately resolve the issue, I will not be returning to this establishment at either location.

I tend to agree with Jill– I think they’ve over-​extended themselves by opening up a new place– I’m giving it a rest and hopefully down the road they’ll get it together here.
