Dinosaur Cafe

Pretty great first visit finally! to the Dinosaur Cafe. Bar up front, order window in the back. There's plenty communal style seating along with standing spots to throw back some grub in the back and tables and bar tops up front. While I was bummed they ran out of shrimp, the catfish poboy hit the spot. Great bread, perfect fry, tasty tomatoes and Louisiana hot sauce on the tables. It's hard to find a poboy coming correct outside of the southeast but man, this one was perfect! The gumbolaya was a nice combo of gumbo & jambalaya which was also tasty but I'd try the gumbo straight-up next time. All in all a great local, divey vibe with excellent food, TVs, and affordable food & drink. Definitely recommend!!

Good flavor on all the food I tried. Wish hushpuppies were served with tartersauce.Prices and quanity were good. Be prepared to talk to people. The locals and the bartenders are always friendly here.

What can you say besides the dino is a Missoula institution. Cheap Cajun eats that makes perfect break for lunch from the job site, or hit it up on a Friday evening for some walleye fish and chips. Best thing is very little ever changes.Food: 4/5

Amazing cat fish po boy and the drinks are very heavy on the pour. Kid-friendliness: Kids menu

Great atmosphere! Food was good quality & super friendly bartender!

Nothing can beat this place for their chicken wings, Cajun food, and fish and chip specials on Saturdays. My wife loves the Gumbolaya, while I love the double dipped wings. But I have never had anything else that is bad either. Make sure to bring cash though.. they don't accept credit cards.

I have eaten here for 3 years but tonight was AWFUL. They admitted that our food was burned but told us it was the last “batch” of rice and gumbo and the fact it was chewy and inedible was out own problem. The staff was incredibly rude and awful. I can’t believe what happened. The waitress was a total words I can’t put here. Awful

Hidden gem. If smokejumpers and other fire guys recommend it, it is good. Creole was great; it has a little kick for this New England girl. When I ordered the zucchini sticks I thought order of 8 was eight sticks, not 8 zucchinis! Bring cash. Charlie Bs is your working class bar with hidden soul food inside. I love that this place hasn’t changed in 15 yrs when I first came here.

Stick with the Jambalaya and Gumbo that they can serve immediately. Don't bother with other items like the Jamaican chicken sandwich in the pic which can take them an hour to make and are mediocre at best.

Best St Patty's Day corned beef and cabbage!Food: 5/5
