Food was good and really affordable price. The person who served us was very sweet. I originally ordered loaded potatoe soup without realizing that it has pork. But once I mentioned they almost instantly changed it without charging anything.

I had dinner with my son here tonight, and we were not disappointed! I grew up in Choteau and this place was always a favorite. John Henry's is clean, the food is delicious, and the service is fast and friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant.

I've ordered a burger with sweet potato fries. The burger has a name but for the life of me I can't recall it. The burger was stacked with bacon, jalapenos, cheese , lettuce, tomato and onions (some toppings are optional) the sweet potato fries were cooked to perfection and I didn't leave too much food in the basket once I started eating. The atmosphere is welcoming, I didn't wait too long for the food and my server was exceptional. The price is good and evidently their pizza is amazing so I may try that next time around. I would recommend this restaurant when in the Choteau area.

We were pleasantly surprised with the wide menu, food quality & reasonable prices! Driving through town with two young kids on off hours (weekday lunch), we expected basic frozen food items- but they had so many side choices, a kids menu, beer and the actual best French dip sandwich! The historic photos on the walls were very cool as well. Highly recommend it.
