The Broad Axe Lodge - Sula

This is my favorite restaurant! It’s the ONLY place I take out-of-town guests or where I celebrate special occasions. It has a warm and cozy atmosphere, nestled among the trees with a beautiful view of the mountains and wildlife. The salad bar and homemade bread are incredible, and even though the menu is small, the dishes are top-notch. The owners create a wonderful ambiance and are incredibly welcoming. You have to check it out! It’s definitely worth it, and you’ll want to come back!

There are very few dining options in the south end of the Bitterroot Valley, and the Broad Axe stands out as the best. It is exceptionally well run, and the food is outstanding. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

This is my favorite restaurant in Montana. I've been dining at the Broad Axe since I was about two years old, and now I'm 16. It's such a charming place with a cozy atmosphere, and it feels like a hidden gem since it's situated in the middle of nowhere. The peacefulness adds to its charm. The owners are incredibly friendly, and my family has a close relationship with them. The food is excellent, and I absolutely recommend visiting this restaurant!

While fishing the West Fork of the Bitterroot River I met a very nice retired couple who said they had reservations at their favorite restaurant and told me it's location. I was intrigued and went looking for it along the river and through beautiful meadows, farmland and valleys. When I arrive they had just been seated and invited me to join them for dinner. After helping ourselves a the salad bar and with freshly baked bread two of us had filet steaks and one the salmon. We shared an excellent bottle of red wine of their choosing. They enjoyed homemade desserts while I finished my wine. The atmosphere, service by the wife/owner and food were all excellent. My steak had great flavor and could almost be cut with a fork. I took 1/2 with me as my portion was too large for one meal. Since I was paying only for my meal the price was less than anticipated. I forgot to share cost of the wine but wish I knew the label as I would like to purchase more. We did not see any big horn sheep which normally visit the grounds or are viewed on the hill across the road. I did however stop for whitetail deer on the road to the restaurant. Excellent food and new friends in a wonderful setting with great hosts !!! A perfect ending to another perfect day in Montana. Richard

This has quickly become my favorite place to relax, enjoy a very good evening with friends.
