I have never been to Missoula… my wife INSISTED that we stop here since it’s one of her favorites from when she lived in the area. We got the 4 piece meal which fed both of us. Food was AMAZING… BEST French Fries I’ve ever tasted. Our waitress Lori was a sweetie. She deserves a HUGE raise. Thanks for the excellent grub.

If you’re in Missoula and you don’t stop at Double Front Café & Bar, you’re missing out on one of the most memorable meals — and experiences — the town has to offer.
From the moment we arrived, Jason, the owner, made us feel like VIP guests. He didn’t just serve us lunch; he gave us a warm, insider’s tour of the town itself, sharing local history, hidden gems, and even taking us to his local gun club for a unique taste of Montana culture. His pride for Missoula is contagious, and his hospitality is second to none.
And then there’s the food. Let me put it plainly: this is chicken perfection. The fried chicken is crispy on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside, and packed with flavor in every bite. It’s the kind of meal that makes you pause mid-bite just to appreciate it. The sides are amazing, too. The portions are generous enough to satisfy even the hungriest traveler.
The café itself has that comfortable, old-Montana charm, with a cozy atmosphere that makes you want to linger long after your plate is clean. Between the hearty food, the warm service, and the small-town character, Double Front Café & Bar is more than just a restaurant — it’s a piece of Missoula’s heart.
Final verdict: 5 stars isn’t enough. Jason and his team deliver not just incredible chicken, but an experience that feels personal, authentic, and unforgettable.

I found this place on a hidden gems of Missoula list and I’m so glad we decided to try it!!
We learned pretty quick that we weren’t there for the service. It wasn’t horrible but just slow, especially when a large table came in after us and got fed first. It made us question our decision to try it.
But then the food came. The sampler was pretty good, nothing fancy and the inside of the popper was cold. The fish and chips were good, wasn’t digging the Cole slaw. The chicken though is where it’s at. The white meat dinner was so juicy and tender but perfectly brown and crisp on the outside. And they leave the wing attached to the breast, such a great idea. We’ll definitely be back!

If you’re craving chicken this is the place to go, it’s fantastic! This is not your typical restaurant chicken, frozen and thrown into the fryer. This tastes better than anything we’ve had and yes it takes a few minutes longer, but for fresh and great tasting chicken it’s worth it! The sauces are also made in house and tastes great. But no restaurant would be complete without some friendly great service and they truly delivered! Wish we weren’t just passing through Missoula as we’d be back to try the fried chicken the following day!

Some really good, made to order fried chicken and excellent battered fries! It does take a while because they don’t make it until it’s ordered

This place is one of the best places to eat in Missoula. Don’t be in a hurry because it takes about a half hour to get your chicken but totally worth the wait time. This is some of the best fried chicken one can imagine. Everything is cooked to order and is fresh. I have been going for years and will continue to go as long as they are open. Highly recommend this place. The cheeseburgers are excellent as well. Kids meals are top notch. Everything on the menu is very good

I really enjoy the chicken at Double Front. I love how tasty and crispy the skin is. The meat(either white or dark) is really juicy and not dry at all! The fries are always best when still warm. The garlic bread ain’t bad and the pickles are crunchy, just the way I like them. Not bad for price either knowing how much food you get and it really makes you full! The restaurant is very clean and the staff are always polite and respectful. One of the best places in town for chicken!

First, be aware they are closed Wednesday.
Second, classic perfectly fried chicken. No special herbs and spices, straightforward yardbird. Moist, flavorful and crunchy.
Fries, mushrooms and o-rings all good as well.
Slaw was fresh and dressed at end, so skip if you’ don’t like crunchy cabbage forward slaw vs “creamy”.
Garden salad is great option vs slaw if prefer.

Very good roast chicken and fried mushrooms. Excellent meal! It takes 30 minutes to prepare it this way but it is worth it!
