This is a great find. Huge burgers, wide selection of draft beer. Biggest plus for me was that it is NOT a casino. They have a few (4) machines but it is not the focus. Funny but they don’t do fries with the burgers but onion rings are available. I’ll be back.

This week’s ROMEO adventure is a recommendation from my brother-in-law John. As it turned out, the gorgeous twenty minute drive from East Helena was an inspirational aspect of the experience. York Road winds past several reservoirs and twists between rocky outcrops in a sparsely populated section of Montana. Otto remarked, “This looks like bear country.”
The restaurant located at the end of our short trip is the The Friendly York Bar, commonly known as simply The York Bar. Built in 1930, the building itself is worthy of mention. It retains its original log construction and original wooden floors and walls. Stapled on the ceiling and walls are dollar bills with various names and pictures scribbled on them. Our waitress, who also doubled as our cook, explained the origin of the “money on the ceiling.” Apparently the old gold miners used to leave behind money so that if they ever went completely broke they could come in and have enough left for a drink.
Otto and I arrived six minutes before they opened at 11:00 am and were prepared to sit on the quaint rocking chairs on the front porch. Relaxing there for less than a minute, we were a little surprised when the heavy wooden door creaked open and we were greeted with a friendly, “I guess we can open up five minutes early for you two.”
Although it is a bar, it doesn’t feel like a bar. The tables and chairs are standard wooden restaurant furniture. The walls are decorated with historical photographs from the area. Highchairs are stacked in a corner next to the stone fireplace and the overall impression is of a typical log cabin-themed family diner.
The menu consists of mostly burgers and upgraded burgers with a nice assortment of appetizers. The burgers are served with a small bag of chips and, appropriately enough, a York Peppermint Patty.
You place your order at the bar and pay either then or after the meal.
The burgers were amazing! They were perfectly cooked, exactly as we ordered them. I was not surprised to see the award for “Best Hamburger in Helena” from a few years ago displayed at one end of the dining area.
They have been sourcing their meat from the same Utah provider since the Eighties.
Otto particularly enjoyed their hot mustard, which they make in-house. Actually, we discovered that they make all of their sauces in-house, (which every great restaurant should do.)
The service was excellent, as the waitress/cook noticed our need for refills without being asked. She was happy to talk about the history of the restaurant, her time there as an employee, and the activities in the area that draw tourists.
Otto and I agree that this restaurant definitely deserves another visit, and soon.

We were so pleased to find a very good restaurant in a small town York . They have a fun way of serving your order as the cook would yell out your name and everybody would start yelling for your name . We surely enjoyed the food and the onion rings are so so so delicious. Don’t leave without ordering the onion rings .

Typical gathering place/watering hole with great burgers, cold beer, full bar. Reminds me of lots places along the roads of America that just have to be experienced. Dollars staples to the walls and ceilings like the Salty Dog in Homer Alaska, Tortilla Flats in Arizona, whatever the name of that place is in Key West, FL…
Fun atmosphere. They have high chairs for the little ones too.

Cool place, iconic. The quality of the beef on the burgers could be much higher for the price

Great hidden gem. One of the best things about this bar is the lack of cell phone service and wifi. Giant burgers and awesome staff.

Very family friendly place. Had highchairs and booster seats. Small menu but the burgers were good. They were out of chicken nuggets the day we went so if you are picky be sure to call ahead. We went on a Sunday for lunch in January so was pretty quiet. The bottle of beer my husband got was slightly expired but was fine. So be sure to check if that concerns you.

Stopped in June 11th for a burger and to make some new friends.
Up from Alabama….my neighbor had been here in 1983 with a military exercise. Wanted to take some photos for him and get him a bar glass.
Great bar. Damn friendly folks. Excellent food.
One of the highlights of our “first time to Montana trip.”

Worth driving to for just the food and drinks. But even better if you are out enjoying the plenty of great wilderness activities in the area, and cap it off with a visit. Burgers are legendary, and they have a great beer selection.

I truly enjoyed this little hidden gem bar/ grill. I rode my HD motorcycle there from Great Falls and must say it was a beautiful drive to get there. It (York) is just several minutes from Helena but tucked away out of the populace just enough to make it feel very remote/ peaceful.
I had heard by word of mouth about there delicious burgers and could not wait to sink my teeth into one. I was amazed to find out from the friendly waitress/ bartender that the burgers were all 1/2 pounders‼ I ordered one up immediately with bacon ,mushrooms, and swiss. I was not disappointed, delicious – served with chips, and a York peppermint patty to top it off. I did observe other patrons ordering onion rings and deep fried pickles that appeared delicious and they will be put to the test by myself on future visits!
Yes, I shall return here to this little nugget sooner than later. If you are really hungry they do serve double patty burgers and yea that adds up to 1 pound+ with bun and condiments
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did
