Montana’s Best Pancakes? Here’s Where To Find Them

Breakfast. Supposedly, the most important meal of the day, or at least that’s what “they” say (doctors, specialists, and all those folks who sound official). I don’t know if it’s truly the most important, but it is hands down my favorite. From crispy bacon to over-easy eggs to grits and all the other fixins, breakfast is just unbeatable. And then there’s one dish that really shines above the rest. Pancakes.

Let’s be real, pancakes are comfort food at its finest. Whether you like them stacked high with fruit and whipped cream, dotted with chocolate chips, or just plain with butter and syrup dripping down the sides, pancakes never disappoint. They’re like a warm hug on a plate.

Every state has that one spot the locals swear by as their go-to pancake house. And here in Montana, we’re no exception. On the hunt for the best of the best, I came across a list naming the top pancake house in every state. So, who holds the pancake crown here?

Drumroll please… it’s Running Bear Pancake House in West Yellowstone.This cozy spot has been serving up flapjack magic for over 40 years, and fans rave that it might just be the best pancakes they’ve ever had. We’re talking everything from thick, fluffy stacks to crepes so delicate they practically melt in your mouth. One standout is the Pancake Sandwich. Imagine bacon or ham layered between two golden cakes and topped with an egg. Yeah, breakfast dreams do come true.
