Thee Garage & Steakhouse, Baker MT

Good place, nice bathrooms and a cool atmosphere. Swing on in and grab some great grub I know I'll be back.

Friendly staff, good food seems like a place regulars and locals hang out. Portions were good sized. We couldn't finish all our food. Casino inside a bar so it's what you expect in a local bar.

Coming into town, I asked a couple of people where a good place to eat was. Both recommended this place. Sounded good. I'm hoping it was just a bad night.

I could probably go on and on about was wrong with the food and the service, but I'm just not wired that way. I will simply state facts.

We arrived and sat in the bar. Wasn't obviously busy, and 2 women were working the bar. Eventually, one came over and flopped menus down. Asked what we wanted to drink. My wife knew what she wanted, and so did I. We got them fairly quick.

We looked over the menus and then set them aside. We waited about 10 minutes, and all the while, I looked over at the bar, trying to grab her attention. No luck. Busy talking and walking back and forth. After about 13-15 minutes, she comes over and takes our order. Simple steaks, potatoes, and bread.

She mentioned that the salad bar was in the other room, so I ventured over and took a look. To say it was meager is giving it high praise. I just got some cottage cheese and watermelon. She said she would bring over some silverware. Came back to the table and waited. Over 10 minutes later, my wife finally walks up to the bar and asks for some utensils. Our appetizer comes out and is basically cold. Mind you.it was clam strips.

Our steaks then arrive. Mine a ribeye, hers a T-bone. Both medium rare, with mashed potatoes and gravy. Hers was well done.gray.mine, almost raw. Potatoes were instant potatoes, and it was box gravy at best. My wife took 2 bites of hers and put her fork and knife down. I faired better at 4 bites. 2 of the 3 forks bent. About a dimes thickness of metal. She bent hers, and she's small! Insult to injury, the ticket was 83 dollars. The steaks had almost no flavor. If it wasn't for the sticky salt and pepper shakers, we probably couldn't have eaten what we did.

My wife had to go sit in the car due to me handling these situations better. I finished my beer and walked up to the bar to pay. The gal then had to ask me what my wife had to drink.

Again, I really hope this was an off night.and those happen.

Great food, great service, and clean establishment! Owner is also a generous and wonderful person!
