How To Tell If You're At A Great Montana Restaurant

There are red flags to look for when choosing a new restaurant.  Reader's Digest put together a terrific article on the red flags of a bad restaurant. It's a great read full of good tips.

I'm not sure if I'd dismiss a restaurant because an employee seems to be having a bad day (for the love of Pete, servers are humans, things happen.), or they have a lot of themes.  Maybe I'm misunderstanding the theme thing, but place like Roadhouse Diner in Great Falls have themes a lot, and I'd eat there any time.

Cleanliness is where the Reader's Digest Article really hit home to me.  Whether it's the bathrooms, things on the tables like salt and pepper shakers, and even the parking lot. If a restaurant doesn't take pride in the clean you can see walking in, what in the funky fresh is that kitchen like?

They missed one REALLY big thing for me, is everyone's hair tied back or under some kind of a scarf.  One hair, even my own, ruins a meal for me.  It actually makes me gag.
