We often have our hot dog cravings filled very well at Gus' Hot Dogs in Helena. Everyone knows your name here. The hot dogs are excellent and I highly favor their chili slaw dog especially. Their seasoned fries are epic too! Definitely you get the best bang for the buck here, irregardless of ordering hot dogs or hamburgers or cheesy chicken sandwich or even breakfast!

Jack's Family Resturants offer superb fast food. Most delicious are their vast breakfast menu items and the truly Southern fried chicken. Fried chicken just like your mom made in her kitchen at home with delicious sides. I especially enjoy their Mashed potatoes and gravy, and creamy Cole slaw.

The flavors of ice cream are pretty broad, as is the selection of sandwiches you can get. The milkshake I received was more like traditional milkshakes of old, i.e. more milk than ice cream. The person behind the counter was patient and very nice, but was the only one in the place so our order took awhile to process. Tables and floors were clean.
