Wonderful ! My daughter found it doing an internet search. It’s take out only, but WOW ! Mouth watering flavors. Menu changes daily, and I am looking forward to going on different days. Dondi and Shell were great. They offered samples of some of the sides. Will definitely have to get collards next meal, have never tasted greens so good. Check their FB site. Tucked away in Old Town Helena, well worth looking for.

You are right! Those ribs you served at the Helena Market didn’t need sauce. They were delicious. Your menu is interesting. I will find you behind the ice cream place in Old Town!

This place is a hidden gem. Absolutely wonderful! Delicious home cooked food, served in hefty portions. There is nothing I have tried that wasn’t scrumptious. They are super nice people also. Recommend this place for sure!!

One of the best steaks i’ve ever had in my life. They really know what they’re doing. Hamburger steak is off the chain. Beef tips over jasmine rice makes my tongue smile. The desserts, bread, puddings different varieties. All so very good.

The food was simply amazing every side dish made from scratch and seasoned very well. But the hamburgers that Dondi makes are best in class. You have to try this place if you haven’t already.

I ordered Sunday’s dinner, and everything was great. 5 stars. But if anyone orders dressing by itself please have an option for gravy and cranberry sauce. Luckily, I keep cranberry sauce in my pantry.

Very nice and friendly. This was my 1st visit. Food wasn’t what i expected. Cabbage was a little crunchy for my taste and the greens had a sweet/sour taste which was definitely different, and the chicken could use some seasoning. But this is MY opinion! So give it a try you may like it!!

Leo Romanick
Wonderful food, tastes great, great value for a hearty lunch. Some of the best meatloaf in the world. Also, make sure and save room for the fresh deserts. This will be on the rotation for eating out for sure.
