Tex and Jerry’s brings late night food to Hungry Horse
The name of the restaurant comes from two local legends: Tex and Jerry, freight horses who vanished in the winter of 1900-1901. They wandered the wilderness for a month until locals found them starving, but still alive. Nicknamed the “Mighty Hungry Horses,” their story is the namesake for the town of Hungry Horse.
