This Southwest Montana-based quick-service restaurant has operated continuously since 1932 and is best known for its flagship pork chop sandwich—a regionally iconic product with nearly a century of brand equity and community loyalty.

Family-owned since 1969, the business has experienced steady expansion under second-generation leadership, evolving from a single-location eatery into a vertically integrated operation with wholesale distribution, multiple retail locations, and a nationally recognized brand.

The restaurant has been featured by major national media outlets, including the Food Network, The Wall Street Journal, Gourmet Magazine, and Reader’s Digest, consistently earning accolades for its flagship menu item.
