The 4Bs, a small Montana chain, is one of our favorite examples of the classic Western café. You
will not get a great meal at the 4Bs, maybe not even a good meal, but you will get decent comfort
food at such low prices that you will love the joint. When we are traveling in Montana, we go out
of our way to eat at a 4Bs, both a cultural and culinary treat.
A 4Bs breakfast will carry anyone except construction workers over until dinnertime. I’m
especially fond of the 4Bs pancakes, and I don’t much care for pancakes. For lunch, stick with a sandwich; meals are too big. For dinner, stick to steak or chicken or shrimp, out of respect for the tradition the 4Bs keeps alive--restaurant Americana circa 1950. The rib-eye steak, for its price, is one of the great diner bargains you’ll ever find.
The ambiance is neon lights and plastic, which is to say, eating out in America 50 years ago. Service is down-home friendly and fast. Just remember, a meal at the 4Bs is more than meal; it's an experience.
