The Homestead Cafe & Cabins: Your Destination for Comfort Food in Lima, MT

Great little "old school roadhouse" feel... rolled in at 9 p.m. on a Sunday night, and four greetings cheerfully by the staff, and also the chef. For staff that was ready to close in just an hour, they were sure happy to see us. Got some good old-fashioned Roadhouse vittles. Those who complain about the food being slow ours was fast now in defense of other post here we were the only people in the whole place at the time. I am used to traveling the Alaska Highway often at least twice a year... I have always wanted to stop here but never have when they were open I was just to sleep in the rest stop and keep going. I love the old time Alaska Highway style of Roadhouse feels that is here.. The music was loud but I like their taste in music and they actually asked me if it was too loud and offered to turn it down but I actually said Crank It Up. I understand that they were cleaning and getting ready to go home when we showed up color shown some excellent hospitality, and customer service. The chef even came over to ask for food was prepared okay and to our liking. Everyone in my party was extremely satisfied, the chicken cordon bleu soup was choice, even got compliments from our party on how fresh the dinner salad was even though it was just one hour from them closing. I got the ribeye steak, my son got chicken fried steak, grilled ham and cheese, sirloin steak, mozzarella fingers, and chili cheese fries as an appetizer. Four of us ate the chili cheese fries portions are good size for the price. Another reviewer here complaining that they wouldn't substitute with chili cheese fries without charging the 1175 price. After seeing the size of the chili cheese fries I understand why they wouldn't substitute and there be no upcharge. I don't know all the circumstances behind that but I would say( get real whiner) you're lucky places like this still exist along the road and I'm more than happy to oblige them by paying full price and not being a cheapskate. In fact of my 97 bill I left a tip for 40 for the staff... oh, I work hard for my money and I'm not rich oh, but I just wanted to make these people day for a good job, and great service. I have nothing to gain by posting this and I don't know these people, but I will be back as a patron to visit their establishment on my next way through town. Always and forever as long as it's there.

Good food. Friendly service.

The pancakes are very good! You should try the rash browns! The waitress was very sweet.

We search for these small hometown cafes and this one was great. Great service and really good breakfast. Not fast food! One guy in the kitchen and he cooked one ticket at a time ( which is how it's supposed to be). My eggs were perfectly cooked and the sour dough toast was fabulous. Our waitress was very personable and called everyone kid even though we were older than her..lol.. We would most definitely take time to stop here again. Thanks

Sometimes, it's the People that make or break a place. This is one of those places. GREAT CUST SERVICE. I was treated like a customer and felt wanted there. The food was clean and good for the simple menu. I ate breakfast 3 eggs and hash browns. Done the way I liked them all. I wish this little hole in the wall all the best. I will be back.

Great food and prices. We ate driving to Idaho and wanted to get some food. I had the Cold Beef and my wife had the BLT. absolutely delicious and the French fries were great as well. Jennifer, our waitress was great.

I've passed by this place for years, never had the time to stop, till today. Sure happy I did. Quaint, cozy down home feel. Food omg, the burger some filling, the chicken strip meaty and not over breaded. Will definitely stop here again.

Excellent food. Patty melt was their special, and it was very good. My husband said his burger was made the way a burger should be made. Waitress was friendly. Cute place with a small gift shop.
