Step into the Dew Drop Inn and feel a true Montana getaway. The Dew Drop Burger, a 1/2 pound grass-fed patty, sizzles with a smoky char and juicy interior; Wild Caught Montana Trout glistens with lemon butter; the Chicken Fried Steak crackles with a seasoned crust. Live music fills the room, and the covered deck offers an outdoor stage for après-hike revelry. Hearty American comfort food built on local ingredients—worth the calories.
