MISSOULA — Missoula's latest brunch spot opened its doors on Jan. 31 in hopes of bringing brunch back.
FSK is owned by Megan Matthews, a former chef at the popular Missoula restaurant, Burns Street Bistro, which closed in 2023.
“Opening a restaurant has always been one of my dreams to be able to do," Matthews said.
Watch the full story:
Fork Spoon & Knife, better known as FSK, is on Butler Creek Road near the Missoula Montana Airport. Offering a range of things from pastries to coffee to breakfast burritos, Matthews wants this to be the spot that offers a good social atmosphere for Missoula, especially as the city expands west.
“Missoula is growing out this way and there really isn't anything out here for the businesses and for the families that live up in Butler Creek Road," Matthews said.
She believes the unique location near the airport will draw people in rather than hurt the business and so far customers agree.
"It's not too far to try, but I feel like it's enough to where it's maybe a little bit more of like an outing, rather than just, like, going to a coffee shop in town," customer, Maya Safarik, said.
Safarik ordered a breakfast burrito, a specialty the brunch spot offers along with a muffin.
"This muffin, oh my gosh, probably one of the best I've had," Safarik said.
The opening of FSK was strategically planned so that by the time tourist season comes, the restaurant is fully prepped and ready for the waves of people.
“The staff has been amazing and made the dream come true," Matthews said.
The business is open Tuesday-Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on the weekends for brunch from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. FSK is located at 6170 Butler Creek Road.
