My advice is to "Stick with the pie!" We were not impressed with our meal otherwise.
The ribs had to be cut apart, and what little meat there was was tough. The salad was basically a pile of iceberg, although the dressings were good and served on the side. The mashed potatoes tasted like instant. The rolls were unremarkable.
Our meal included dessert, which was lemon pudding. I imagine it's the same as the lemon meringue pie filling, and it was excellent: creamy and smooth, not too thick, and not too sweet. The coconut cream and the lemon meringue were recommended to us as just-from-the-oven. We got two slices to go: one blueberry and one blackberry. Both were delicious.
The service was considerate, and the prices low, but the desserts were definitely the high point!

"Red Lodge has a colorful history: home to "liver-eatin'" Johnson and also to the first family of rodeo, the Greenoughs. The town has more restaurants per capita than any other in Montana; for a true local experience, this is the place!"
