Joker's Wild Restaurant, Missoula

I had a chance to visit the Joker's Wild Restaurant in Missoula tonight and it was not  packed at all.  The service was good and I had the chili and it was good.
I would give it two and half stars.

Blue Canyon

Don't waste your time at the Blue Canyon in Missoula. I think the Happy Hour sign on the table says it all. Today is August 25 and it is specials for July. Really think this shows the non attention to detail.
Also heard how management won't replace the refrigeration unit until it fails. I also heard how the one person was so hung over today from the party they were at yesterday and it was after 8 o'clock at night.  I could care less about the private complaints or parties.

I don't know if this is a chain or not, but do not waste your time at the Blue Canyon in Missoula.

The title of this blog was my Favorite Restaurants and tonight I had to change it to my Favorite and Not So Favorite restaurants.

Just took a look at their web site and the last news release was in 2008.  It appears to me they do not care about updates for any part of their business.

Zero stars.

Brooks Market, Lewistown

Looking for fresh homemade food, made fresh go to Brooks Market in Lewistown MT. May take a while to get your food,  but worth the wait. Great desserts also. 4.5 stars.

Montana Club, Bozeman MT

The Montana Club great food, reasonable prices, great selection of beer.  Friendly hostess and hosts. 4.5 stars.

Restaurants and Hotels in Grangeville.

#1 Seasons-Great Food and Friendly Service. 3 Star
#2 Palenque Mexican-Great Food and Friendly Service 3 Star
#3 Pizza Factory-Great Calzone and Pizza 3 Star
# 4 Hilltop-Never ending salad that is too big for the plate-Food is great, service is slow 2 Star
#5 Twisted Cellar-Slow service order the lunch special of Brats and got one brat, cup of soup for $9.49 1 star
#6 Oscars-Nothing outstanding, they think they are, but below average for costs.  1 star

Don't expect anything quick anywhere in town.

Hotels

Gateway Inn-If you like a piece of toast for breakfast stay here.  You may not be able to keep your room and have to move a lot since they do not move someone coming in to room you have to move to.

Super 8-Good luck if they answer the phone and if they do, if they wait on you, they will tell you they are busy and put the phone down for 20 minutes.  Then told no rooms, but I was speaking to someone else that wanted a room and they called after I had called and got a room. Owned by the same person as the Gateway and if staying any length of time, may make you move also.

White Bird Summit Lodge, Grangeville, ID

Had a chance to stay at White Bird Summit Lodge and I would recommend it.  It is at a nice location right of Highway 95 outside of Grangeville.  I have read a few reviews and some people like it and others did not.  I do not think you could find nicer hosts, Terri goes out of her way to make a pleasant stay, and accommodated folks when they were not happy with their room.
The breakfast are outstanding with a new dish everyday and fresh fruit.  The orange sauce is outstanding.

Worst ever Zapata's

Asked a few locals in Cody, WY for the best mexican restaurant and told Zapatas.

Absolutely worst restaurant ever.  Five hands down.
Out of some beer.
Out of sangria.
Out of some kids food.

Dry Carne Asada
Too spicey to eat Chile Verde.

$5 off my bill is what I was offered.

Stay away from Zapatas in Cody, WY

Here is a photo of the grisle and vein served to me in my Chile Verde.
