3 Best Restaurants in Billings, Little Big Horn, and the Montana Plains, Montana

Black Dog Coffeehouse

$
This locally owned café is one of the only cafés in the state that allows dogs—all well-behaved dogs inside. The staff is friendly, the dogs are even friendlier, and the coffee, which is brewed in town at Stumptown Roasters, is superb. While there's no dog menu, yet, there's plenty of water, complimentary dog biscuits, and even a wall in the back where you can post a pic of your pup. The food options are limited (think pastries, sweets, and prepared sandwiches), but it's the perfect place to get the perfect pour over.

Custer Battlefield Trading Post and Cafe

$$

With its stock of T-shirts, inexpensive jewelry, Indian fry bread mix, and dream catchers, the trading post is touristy, but the small attached restaurant is quite good—as evidenced by the locals who regularly congregate here. Steak is the dish of choice, and there are no fewer than three ways to get it on a sandwich. The several variations of Indian tacos, featuring fry bread as big as a plate, are especially popular.
