A restaurant will last a long time if you make delicious food and have a solid stream of customers

Montanans love food. We love breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

You could be in Montana's largest city or a town of fifty people and can find a hidden gem of a restaurant locals dine at daily. Most of these restaurants serve American fare, but it's still tasty.

You will find restaurants that have stood the test of time throughout Montana. There are food joints that have existed for several decades.

These restaurants are family-owned or run by folks wanting to keep these fantastic food joints running for visitors.

Montana has so many old restaurants, but which is the most historic?

You might think there is a clear-cut choice, but you might be surprised.

Lovefood came out with a list of the Most Historic Restaurants in Every State, and Montana's was a wild choice.

Lovefood believes the most historic restaurant in Montana is the Sip N' Dip Lounge in Great Falls.

The Sip N' Dip is a legendary spot known for its fun atmosphere and delicious food, but they are known for their live mermaids behind the bar since 1962.

Is it the most historic restaurant in Montana?

There are a few other restaurants in Montana that could rival this decision.

There is the Pekin Noodle Parlor in Butte. They are the oldest Chinese restaurant in America and have been around for over 100 years.

You could pick The Western Cafe in Bozeman or Paul's Pancake Parlor in Missoula for the most historic restaurant. Both have been around for over 60 years and are popular with locals and visitors.

The only other restaurant that should be in the conversation is the LaHood Steakhouse in Cardwell. It opened in 1928 and was a must-stop food joint for travelers in Montana forever.
