Burgers at City Center Steak House

You probably won't find the City Center Steak House on any Bozeman restaurant guides - don't worry, Taste of Bozeman is on it!
As we walked inside the City Center Steak House, the stench of stale smoke was not the greeting I had hoped for. Confronted by a dimly-lit area of seating that was probably a hot style in the 70s, I half expected to see a group of Goodfellas hanging out. But, for a 5 dollar burger, fries and soft drink, it was worth checking out.
Fortunately, the weather outside was pleasant and accommodating, so we asked the hostess to seat us on the patio. Service was quick enough and plenty friendly, so all that remained uncritiqued was the food.
Not only could one get a burger, fries and soft drink for 5 bucks, but they had at least 7 or 8 different types of burgers that were applicable. Not only that, but you could also opt for a chicken breast instead of beef! I ordered the southwest burger, chicken style. It was served hot, topped with ample fresh "guacamole sauce," and tasted... pretty good! The fries turned out to be steak fries, but were surprisingly hot and mostly crispy. There were a few sogs in the bunch, but overall it might just be the best $5 meal you can get in Bozeman. As an honorary guest put it, "it's an $8 burger for 5 bucks." It sat a bit heavy for the Friday afternoon, but I'll be back to enjoy this again.
In hindsight, I should have ordered the iced tea instead of a Diet Coke, since the soft drink mixture was a bit off and tough to swallow. Fortunately they brought us ice water (also in 70s style glasses) and a pitcher of water to provide ample refills.
