Eating Out in Missoula on a Budget: Top Spots

Most of us try to save money where we can, and eating out is an easy way to say goodbye to a whole paycheck.

Obviously, fast food places tend to have lower prices, so we tried to stick to more local or regional restaurants. We also didn't repeat a restaurant if it was mentioned in multiple places.
