Our Story

Rooted in Montana. Crafted with Intention.

The restaurant at 108 East 6th Avenue changed hands in August 2026. Derrick Quandt took over as owner, Chef Panayotis Tzinis runs the kitchen, and we reopened for dinner that September. Much of what we cook comes from Montana farms and ranches, and the menu changes when the season does. Fire and preservation do the rest.

Derrick Quandt

Stewarding the next chapter of Benny’s with a commitment to hospitality, community, and producer relationships throughout Montana.

Panayotis Tzinis

Executive Chef

Guiding the culinary vision through preservation, and collaboration with Montana’s farmers, ranchers, foragers, millers, and makers.
