Bison Inn Cafe – Amazing Huckleberry Shakes
Distance from Mt. Forge: 35 minute drive
Favorite items: Huckleberry Shake, Bison Burger
The Bison Inn Cafe is a throwback in time. It feels like a classic diner from the 1970s. It’s a little beat up, but the charm is still there. It’s a local spot that we love to stop at on our way up from Missoula, close to the National Bison Range. We fly into Missoula International Airport so it’s the perfect halfway point. The hours are a little unpredictable so we’d recommend calling beforehand. My go-to order is a bison burger and a huckleberry shake. If you’ve never had a huckleberry shake before, it’s an item you can’t get anywhere outside of the Northwest. Huckleberries are a Montana delicacy and the huckleberry shake is the most sought after item. The shakes at the Bison Inn Cafe are delicious and are a perfect first stop if you’re coming from the airport or a last stop on your way to go home.
