While shopping in downtown Butte, we asked some of the merchants about a good place for breakfast. Universally the answer was "the M&M." They were not wrong. You can read about the M&M's long history in Butte, I won't repeat that here. Suffice it to say, the M&M is a fixture in downtown Butte. We stopped on a Sunday morning and sat at the counter right inside the front door. From there we could see two of the grill cooks hard at work. I struck up a conversation with the cook directly in front of me who was making pancakes and French toast. In the back was another cook cranking out hash browns, bacon, and other delights. There was a third grill cook that I couldn't see well and he appeared to be making eggs and omelets? I ordered a short stack of pancakes with bacon. My wife had the corned beef hash. Both were exceptional and I could not finish both pancakes - they were the size of a dinner plate. The bacon was just the way I like it, nice and crisp. My wife said the corned beef hash was perfect and it looked like they make their own corned beef. We had coffee which was a local brew, and it was excellent. Our server was great and the entire time we were there, someone walked around with a coffee pot to refill our cups. Breakfast for two people was $33.00 which we thought was quite reasonable considering the quality and the amount of food. We hope to get back one more time for breakfast before we leave the Butte area. By all means give the M&M a try if you are in the neighborhood.

Amazing breakfast. I loved the hash browns. Like amazing hash browns. My garbage omlet was good, but I filled up on the hash browns! I could eat a whole plate! The pancakes are also great and HUGE. It was truly a five-star breakfast. Bacon was crispy as well!

First time here and wow we were really impressed! The staff and even the other diners were so friendly. Even though the place was packed, we were served quickly. Our waitress was super welcoming, and we felt like locals even though we’re not from the area. Breakfast was really good, honestly, everything was great. This hidden gem is definitely worth a visit for breakfast or lunch. Prices are very reasonable, the place is clean, there’s plenty of parking, and the vibes are just amazing as soon as you walk in. Big thanks for the awesome service!

I was in Butte 6 full days & visited the M&M 3 times! Try the Bloody Ceasar with all the fixings, the french fries with gravy on the side, and the sweet cream pancakes (only 1 unless you're really hungry!) with the Riley's sausage patty (the best!).
