For many of those Montana towns, the heart of the community is often the local diner or cafe. Not only do they serve up comfort food, but is a place to hear the latest town gossip, swap stories, share pictures of kids and grandkids, and talk politics.

Several of these diners have been serving their communities for decades and have become a part of their resident's lives. To steal the phrase, they're a place to go "where everyone knows your name."

You know the type of place I'm talking about, where you and the wait staff know each other on a first-name basis.

While there is nothing wrong with some of the bigger restaurants or chains, there is just something special about walking into a small diner or cafe. From the pictures on the walls, the food you grew up with, and the charm of the building. It just feels like home.

So whether you're looking for a place that serves "All Day Breakfast" or has the "Daily Special", if you're looking for comfort food in a comfortable setting, Montana has you covered.
