When it comes to the sandwich, the options are endless.

They can be as simple or as complicated as you would like, and what you decide to put in the middle is entirely up to you.  Here in Montana, when you think of the sandwich, lots of locals think of the famous "Porkchop Sandwich" which is a staple in not only Butte but the rest of the state as well.

However, when it comes to the best sandwich spot in the state, who reigns supreme?

The best sandwich shop in Montana is the legendary Pickle Barrel.

The Pickle Barrel was started in Bozeman back in 1975 by Ken and Kerry Olson and has become a right of passage for MSU students, locals, and tourists. Not only are the sandwiches delicious, they're also massive and with both hot and cold sandwich options, you won't have any issue finding a favorite or two or three.
