This Small Montana Town is Home To The Best Deli

You might think the best deli in Montana would be found in a major city, but it can be found in a hidden small town.

If you live in Montana, you might realize deli stores are not commonly found. Deli stores are places where people can get sliced or cured meats, fancy cheese, and other assortments for sandwiches or charcuterie boards.

Most people think of grocery store delis where you can get fried chicken, corn dogs, and other hot treats, but that's not the case. Actual deli stores can be more artisanal spots and offer rare foods. Sometimes, they make sandwiches, but not all the time.

You would think the best deli in Montana would be found in one of the major cities like Bozeman, Missoula, or Billings, but that's not the case here.

Lovefood made a list of Where To Find the Best Deli in Every State, and Montana's was quite the surprise. The best deli in Montana can be found in a tiny town with less than 1,000 people.

The best deli in Montana is Big Sky Deli & Bakery in Vaughn.

You might wonder where Vaughn is, but it's slightly outside Great Falls. This small town might not have a massive population, but this deli has high praise.

Big Sky Deli & Bakery has a wide selection of regional and local cheeses and cured meats, but what makes them top-notch is the sweets and cookies they offer as treats. The best part of this deli is they use in-house baked bread to make their sandwiches. The pictures alone are making us hungry.

Montana might be slim pickings for deli stores, but there are a few good ones to check out if Vaughn is too far away. Tagliare Delicatessen in Missoula is a fantastic spot because their sandwiches are named after classic rock bands and artists(we highly recommend The Beach Boys). Maven's Market in Bozeman is very underrated and is home to several fancy cheeses.
