Many locals recommended this place (often calling it "Muzzie's" FYI) as the real home of the Wop Chop, it was my last stop in town before hitting the road and I was not disappointed. My food was tops, the waitress friendly and funny, the regulars happy to give directions for getting out of town.

My husband is a Butte native and loves the fried pork chop sandwich - we always stop on our way through. Note that almost everything here is fried (and delicious). Service is terrific. The waitress today played games with my kids through lunch and offered me a "baby sandwich" because I didn't think I could finish the full-size pork chop - that was plenty for me. My husband and teenage son got the bigger sandwiches and my littler kids got chicken fingers (serving was big, and they probably should've shared one order). The owner (Muzzy) is an institution, knew Evel Knievel (originally from Butte) and has photos of their history around the bar. Ps. They only accept cash!

We were taken here by good friends, saying it's an icon of Butte.It is. Quick service and good food.Don't be shy about the outside... it's got cold beer and great company inside and some long standing history. Evil Kenevil hung out here as well.Plus... they still had the Xmas tree up... in August.

I have a good allergy and the wait staff and the cook went above and beyond to make sure my food was safe to eat. Coupled with the friendly staff and reasonable prices it’s a great place to eat.

I love this place. Food was hot and very good. It has the atmosphere of a cafe with cold drinks I’ll certainly stop here again.

My type of place right here. Get the WopChop and don’t think twice about it. Leave a generous tip for these people, they deserve it!!

Worth pulling off the freeway for the best sandwich in Montana. Featured on Man vs. Food. The Wop Chop with Joes pairs nicely with a Squirt or a Rainer. A cool little bar with a one of a kind pork chop sandwich.

I kept reading that if I wanted an awesome pork chop sandwich this was the place to go. So, my wife and I finally made it last weekend, and WE LOVED IT!!! We were very impressed !!!You definitely get what you pay for, and I love restaurants that aren't afraid to feed you.The whop chop was super delicious! With soft and toasted buns, and the juicy and moist pork chop squeezed between them( mouth watering). Also, I really liked the crispy and crunchy batter that surrounded the pork chop.They aren't afraid to give you what I call jojos!! These were really delicious and had the perfect texture! My wife joked that it is like they just took the potato and cut it in four. Oh, and I had the poppers...AMAZING! They had just the right amount of cream cheese, just the perfect texture, and the perfect crunch to the batter cover.The lady at the bar who took my order was really friendly and polite!! This place is two thumbs up to me !
