I took my family to Steves cafe for the first time today. We had heard good things and it was nearly two o'clock in the afternoon and they close at 2:30 so I called them and asked them if we could come in and if we did if we wouldn't be rushed out at 2:30. They assured us that we could finish our lunch so we went in to have a meal.

I got a bbq bacon cheeseburger, ($13.75) and my wife got a taco salad, (can't remember the price). My burger was decent, it had VERY GOOD THICK bacon, but it wasn't anything super special. I got a salad with my burger and it was just basic iceberg

Always a great meal and the staff is so friendly and efficient. Their sausage is great but I'm always partial to the taco omelet. Honestly you can't go wrong with anything!

Food and service was awesome. Coffee taste amazing and the ice tea is fresh brewed, perfect. The only caveat to the whole thing is it's crazy expensive. One BLT sandwich with no french fries or anything is a whopping $10. By the way, no military discount either.
If the prices were reasonable, this place would get five stars easily.

Steve's has a nice variety breakfast menu for your whole family. This was my first time ever trying huckleberry and it surely will not be my last. The pancakes were good but I could drink the huckleberry syrup. The Garden Omelette was kind of meh, I added chicken sausage which was good but the avocado wasn't fresh and the eggs were a bit dry. Italian Joe's scramble was hearty. It's stuffed with sausage, mushrooms, spinach and more.

Best breakfast place around town. Highly recommend the Eggs Benedict and Huckleberry Pancakes! To DIE for! And don’t skip out on the buttery, crusty hash browns *drool*

Love the friendly staff even on a busy Sunday. Great fries and nice bacon. I also enjoyed my corn beef hash. It's a local place and well worth a visit.

Highly refine the Custer location! Everything tastes homemade, have not had anything that disappointed breakfast or lunch! Never been to this location when they were not busy, but the service was always on point.

I have been to this restaurant twice now when visiting my brother and his family There are 2 locations in Helena. I have ordered breakfast items on both occasions. This time around was a western omelet with hash browns ( with cheese, peppers & onions). I also had a side of the seasonal pumpkin pancakes. Nothing short of delicious 😋
The customer service is awesome and they are fast for the volume of customer ms they take in. I highly recommend this spot, you won't be disappointed and leaving hungry is your fault 😉👍👍

My wife and I frequent both locations. The service is always fast and friendly and the food is always great and of a high value. We never leave here hungry, but never stuffed either. Everything about this place rules. I've only had one experience that would have been unsatisfactory, but a manager spotted it and fixed it before I even had time to say anything. Needless to say, this is where we always bring guests from out of town for a great breakfast. Helena is truly lucky to have such a wonderful place ❤️

This place is the best. Our waitress was fast, funny and friendly. The chicken fried steak was delicious. The gravy didn't come on the side, but that was an easy fix ( scrape some off). The waitress did offer to bring a new order with gravy on the side, but I really hate seeing all that food go to waste. It was fine.

I didn't have any coffee with this meal, but this place has some of the best restaurant coffee ever. The chocolate huckleberry cupcakes looked delicious but I had no room left for dessert.

The thing I like most about Steve's café is that it is consistent - the food

I really wanted to love this place! It has such a following- and really that chocolate milk! How could a place that makes that masterpiece not be amazing?!? Unfortunately, the food was below average. As in IHOP pancakes are better. Also- had the stuffed French toast, which came later than the rest of our order "because it needed longer to cook" and it was still totally raw throughout. I couldn't find a reason to try here again.

Service was amazing!!! Allie was so friendly, professional, knowledgeable and attentive!!! Every server should be like her she's the ideal server!! Food was fresh, delicious, great portions and quick!! We're here visiting from Washington and wish we had such amazing food and service there!! They were closed Monday and Tuesday, not sure if that's from COVID or new hours, but we didn't know that information until we showed up. So I wanted to include that here

Great food!! Denver omelet was differently made but very delicious. It had large chunks of ham. Huckleberry pancakes were yummy. We had a large group that came in and they worked us in on separate tables. They made our bills work as we had kids sitting at their own table. Very nice and friendly staff. Great place to eat.

I absolutely love Steve's. We started coming after a similar cafe seemed really unsafe about their Covid policies for staff and customers. Steve's has always been super conscientious about safety, and respecting their customers. We love the servers, and the atmosphere. So far, everything we have tried has been delicious. We even bought a pound of their house made sausage. Prices are more than fair- we will be coming here for a long time.

Very popular on the weekends, but even when they're busy the food comes out quick and tastes great. They always do a special design for my daughter's pancakes and their coffee is dark and delicious. I recommend the French dip and the Irish Benedict.

Great experience. Waitress was very nice, food was tasty, and we didn’t have to wait very long. I enjoy eating here. Their huckleberry options are a treat. One of the best places in Helena to get breakfast.

Huckleberry sided french toast is yummy. It is not too sweet but very flavorful. The homemade sausages are just right. The service is quick, clean and friendly.

Great local spot. good menu selection and good prices. hearty biscuits and gravy. not the best I've had but certainly not the worst. pretty darn good and a great value. Restaurant is very clean and they were practicing social distancing in the dining room, seating people at every other table instead of right next to other occupied tables. Staff very friendly. Overall a great experience and somewhere I would definitely recommend for Breakfast or Lunch.

4 1/2 out of 5. A very good breakfast option. Been here many times, and have always been more than satisfied with the food and service. What makes this place stand out is their family's home made sausage selection. My wife hates it when I order their Italian sausage breakfast because I loudly break out in a soulful rendition of Volare. You'd think after 50 + years of marriage she would be immune to embarrassment. If you eat here, the sausage is a must. If you hear a sound like a bear caught in quicksand, come tell me hello.

This is a very good mom and pop dinner. Cute and friendly. I had their Ruben and it was delicious. Their homemade sausages were good too. I preferred the chipotle and Italian over the chicken apple one. I would love to come back and get their meatball sandwich when I get a chance!!

Talk about some amazing breakfast and people. With a family of five we like to each order something different and plate share. We tried the biscuits and gravy with hash browns and the gravy was nice and creamy. It had a hint of garlic whisk was great. The biscuits were fluffy and the hash browns were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the Inside. The huckleberry stuffed French toast was so good and paired it with the homemade apple chicken sausage which was perfect. The combo of the sweet fruity French toast and slightly spicy sausage was on point. The eggs Benedict was creamy and the Hollandaise
