Yow & Yee

Inspired by the historic Pekin Noodle Parlor of Butte, Montana, the oldest family-owned, continuously operating Chinese restaurant in the nation since 1909, Yow & Yee features made-to-order noodles on a Mongolian grill. You can choose from a variety of rotating proteins, vegetables, sauces, and homemade broths. Add an egg roll, pot sticker or soup to enhance your meal.

La Mesa de Lula

Our Latin American inspired station allows you to create your own specialty, choosing from: a variety of fresh toppings, mouthwatering proteins like Al Pastor, barbacoa or seasoned local-ground beef, and traditional sauces like chimichurri, adobo, and tomatillo. Each Friday we offer golden-browned fry bread, perfect for making Indian Tacos.

Sa Fire

Sa Fire is inspired by the Sapphire Mountains of southwestern Montana. Enjoy our scrumptious pizzas featuring house-made dough or a pasta toss of your creation! Sa Fire combines the essence of Montana’s natural beauty with the comfort of classic Italian flavors.

Sallies

Sallies is a tribute to Mrs. Sallie Brown, an early Montana African American settler, baker, wife, mother, entrepreneur, and former slave. Sallie opened New City Bakery, offering fresh bread, cakes, pies, and confectionery. At Sallies, enjoy specialty desserts, bar treats, and cookies from our own Bear Claw Bakery, crafted with the same dedication and passion that Sallie brought to her bakery. We proudly serve Montana-made Wilcoxson’s novelty ice cream, grab a huckleberry sandwich!

Beargrass

Beargrass offers a bountiful salad bar featuring fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. Much of our produce is harvested from the Iron Griz Garden, a ¼-acre garden located just six blocks from campus or locally purchased, reflecting our commitment to sustainability and farm-to-table dining.
