"Ale Works consistently delivers outstanding food and service. Try the tenderloin, it is one of the best steaks served in Montana! Get there before 6 PM and get great appetizers for a great price!"

"Very interesting and varied menu. Everything our group of six ordered was excellent. Appetizers were appealing and sufficient to share. Very enjoyable experience! Beer selection especially outstanding...Montana State University students were there in force!"

"Took some friends to Montana Ale Works for a Saturday night dinner. Its one of the few OpenTable restaurants in Montana. Great food and service. We all had a good time. I especially commented the day after that the menu was nicely varied and well priced."

"All staff working Valentines Day were very helpful and professional. Starting with the people who were the hosts. They were very friendly, accommodating, and were smiling, which you don't always see with the hosts at a resturant. Job well done!"
