While there is certainly no shortage of delicious dining options here in Montana, it’s always nice to hear about a new restaurant opening, especially during these challenging times. And these “unprecedented times” were exactly what inspired a Central Montana man, Dave Snugss, to open Montana’s first-ever mobile drive-thru eatery. His venture, The Carnivorium, is now open in Great Falls, and you’ll definitely want to check it out.
The Carnivorium is a brand new 125-foot-long restaurant that features a mobile kitchen, a drive-thru lane, a menu speaker box, and a delivery window.
KRTV NEWS / YouTube While food trucks are pretty popular in Montana, most of them have walk-up windows. This one is specifically designed for drive-thru service to keep everyone safe.
Snuggs was inspired when he witnessed the restaurant industry go through so much turmoil in 2020, first by getting shut down, then opening with all the new restrictions and guidelines.
KRTV NEWS / YouTube While many a Montanan waited in the drive-thru line day after day, Snuggs wondered if he could open a mobile drive-thru so that people wouldn’t have to be tied down to one location every time.
The menu is simple, consisting mainly of tasty burgers and hot dogs.

Not only is this the first mobile drive-thru in Montana, it also appears to be the first of its kind in the entire country.
KRTV NEWS / YouTube Snuggs, who has lived in Great Falls since 2002, is excited to share this experience with the local community. And here’s the best part: Carnivorium has teamed up with their location partners and has created a Community Connection program. This will allow them to immediately donate 8% of gross sales to six non-profit organizations.
The Carnivorium has been spotted at Holiday Village Mall, Great Falls Subaru, and NAPA Auto and Truck Parts, just to name a few.
KRTV NEWS / YouTube Snuggs plans to move from spot to spot weekly to allow as many locals as possible to try this fun new concept.
