The restaurant was known far beyond Glacier County as a community landmark.
A GoFundMe has been created to help the family; it states, in part:
Bob Burns, who is 82, and his wife Charlene, who is 76, lost their restaurant, the Cattle Baron Supper Club, in a smoldering electrical fire that became uncontrollable due to high winds on 01/14/26. This was one of their worst nightmares and something no one ever imagines actually happening until it does.
