Whether you're sliding into a booth or grabbing a to-go order, it’s clear this is a place built on the joy of good, honest food and the simple happiness of sharing it.

We stopped there today while visiting Helena. The food was off the chart great. You get value for your dollar and your tastebuds will explode. Highly recommended.

The food here is amazing! I've tried a few things off the menu and all of them are spectacular! You can't go wrong. If you're looking for high quality, delicious food with fast service, you'll love this place.

Everything here is great...except seating. But please, do NOT let that stop you and get it to go! The hours are strange...7am-2pm. But please, do not let that stop you and go for breakfast or lunch! The food here is top notch. My favorite food in Helena and there is no close second! This is the kind of place that once you try it, you will make regular stops or go out of your way just to get there!

The Uphill Grill is hands down the best spot for homemade food around! We love sitting on the porch – it’s the perfect vibe for a relaxing meal. This place has that good ol’ homegrown charm, and the food never disappoints. Their breakfast sandwiches and burritos are a must-try. I stopped by last Friday and was recommended the veggie burrito with chorizo – it was absolutely delicious! The service is always great, too. If you haven’t been, definitely make the trip – you’ll love it!

Fresh made with super fresh ingredients you could taste!!! Best fish tacos I have had in Montana. Chicken BLT yummmmmmm. Went from n looking for carne asada burritos which is no longer on the menu and found the perfect blend of food. We will be back

Visiting from Florida, and this place was absolutely delicious! Got the steak breakfast burrito and it was fresh, hot, scrumptious and HUGE. Nice people, great prices, and homemade grub. Come try this spot! Open 7am-3pm

Best breakfast tacos I’ve ever had! Yolk was perfectly runny but you can choose to have it cooked differently if you like. Chorizo was beautiful and takeout experience was very ideal for a busy morning. Highly recommend anytime in Helena :)
