    Marias burger
    Sandy S.

    Great place in the downtown area of Bozeman. The place was busy and initially we were told it would take 30 min to be seated but a spot opened up quickly so that was kind of cool. I loved the decor inside; everything had a cowboy rancher feel and it made me, as a tourist, feel like I was experiencing something local and cherished. The food was good. I was warned the inside of my burger might be cold when I ordered the Marias burger medium rare, but it wasn't at all. It was perfectly done. It was my first time having a bison burger too, and it was delicious. Cheddar cheese was a great choice to pair with this burger. It was a filling meal and I felt quite satisfied with it. The only reason there are four stars and not five is because there was no option to order a burger along with fries. Everything was "a la carte," as it were, which meant if I wanted fries I had to order them separate. My friend and I split our fries. They were good but it just seemed odd not to offer fries as part of the meal package when most people will want them as a side anyway. Otherwise, great place. If I'm back in Bozeman I'll be sure to stop by, once again.

    One of the best burgers I've ever eaten! My husband agreed! The burgers at backcountry are so flavorful and the toppings compliment them so well. I've also never been to a burger place that makes their own buns, they were so light and airy! We also tried the fries and cheese bites, amazing! We will definitely be back when we visit Bozeman again.

    Cute logo. I wish they sold shirts too!

    Good burgers, beer, fries and staff. I really like a burger that's not 3/4 of a pound and falling apart. This was a solid 1/4 with a bun and everything was edible. I got the backcountry and date got the one with jalapeño and cream cheese and we split fries as we weren't over hungry. We were both satisfied and happy.

    Calamity Jane
    Maura L.

    I was hesitant about the Calamity Jane because of the cream cheese, but our server convinced me to try it and I'm glad i did! The burger was absolutely delicious and one of the best I have ever gotten out. Similarly to other reviews, the cheese curds are a bit skimpy for the price, but taste delicious and worth the splurge. Also, the brussel sprouts were delicious and perfectly flavored.

    Stillwater Burger
    Jooy C.

    Service was great. Food was okay - didn't quite hit the spot. We each ordered a burger and shared a kale Caesar salad. The Stillwater (veggie) burger was falling apart with each bite and I was hoping the Backcountry Burger would be more flavorful. Despite the food being mid they have a nice selection of beers and I was glad to see several sour options available.

    The food here was phenomenal! I particularly enjoyed the cheese curds. It tasted like the ones I loved from Wisconsin!! The service was great. Our waitress came by enough, but didn't feel like she was hovering. The restaurant is pretty casual.

    This place was dee-lish! I got the French Onion soup and the burger. The service was fast and friendly. The French Onion soup was very tasty and the Parmesan was crusted on the side of the bowl just the way like.

    Great place to grab a burger and fries. Service was welcoming and helpful! Relaxed feel. Their burgers are light and fresh! I love how buttery and soft their buns are. Perfect serving size. Their Brussels sprouts had a spicy Asian taste so yummy along with a refreshing kombucha .

    Great little burger spot and decent prices. The burgers were great the brussel sprouts could have been crisper but they were ok. The staff was super cute and helpful.

My wife ordered a steak, and the crust they put on their steaks is absolutely fantastic--perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. They also managed to cook it to a perfect medium, exactly as requested.

Great food, excellent service, and a wonderful experience all around. Definitely a 5-star visit!

We started with huge mildly-spicy chipotle pepperjack Housemade Tater Tots, crispy yet soft, soothed by a mild tomatillo ranch dipping sauce. And a luscious plate of Bison Potstickers, under a light layer of somewhat-spicy mango & garlic chili sauces, with asian slaw. The Fresh Asian Ramen salad dish was tender organic mixed greens, lightly-sautéed fresh seasonal carrots peas-in-tender-pods and thin brightly-flavored radish slices, tender light ramen noodles, and our chosen plum-glazed sesame-fried mild tofu (instead of chicken), with added sweet tender pan-fried Idaho rainbow trout filet, all under a light sesame-soy vinaigrette. Quite marvelous. The Kale Caesar, (Their Hail-Caesar joke?) was surprisingly good! By rolling the kale and cross-cutting it into thin strips, chiffonade-style, it was tender to the bite! I actually though it was baby kale! It was dressed with a sprinkling of shaved hard white cheeses, housemade sourdough croutons, and a light splashes of creamy caesar. They would add anchovies if you want. Tender juicy thick Monarch-Elk Burger is just a tiny bit game-y, adding a light tough of sweet extra flavor. It's covered with flavorful melted gruyère, a rich tomato jam, arugula, and a truffled porcini aioli. The bun was fresh and pillowy with a paper-thin egg-wash crust. Quite good! I will say that, other than the novelty, we didnt find a reason to come back to elk rather than a well-crafted beef burger. The lightly-beer-battered local, natural Hutterite Pork Chop Sandwich was tender and sweet like chicken, with honey mustard, lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles. We savored the creaminess of their home-brewed sweet draft craft root beer. And of course we dove into their craft beer list. It was fun to taste the brightly colorful smooth somewhat-sweet Huckleberry Cream Ale from Portland's Hopworks Brewery. Lical huckleberries are hard-to-cultivate more-tart blueberry-relatives, which did become a recurring treat in one form or another on this trip. We shared two self-chosen craft-beer flights. Our favorite was the Bayern Brewing kölsch, a light golden color with soft yeasty malty flavors and just a touch of spiciness. And we loved a selection of their many IPAs. Our least-favorite brew was the Lockhorn Gallatin Grapefruit Mint Cider. The flavor was unusual, and it took me the whole flight-glass to come to terms with the tarragon-like undertone. We also bought some merch from their small retail area near the hosts' stand. Montana Ale Works' inside hall is vast, with a high ceiling and the cheerful roar of conversation. There's a large bar in the center of the room. And there's patio seating out front. At 5, they had said it wasnt crowded yet. We got there at 5:30pm on a weekday, and we had about a 20min wait for our table. Staff was welcoming and efficiently busy. We enjoyed our evening. This was one of the nicest meals on this trip.

The wait is not that long.. we came here as walk in's 2x on our 1week stay that started in Bozeman, went down to Yellowstone, then to Idaho for UTV riding and then to Jackson Hole WY to go see the Teton National Park. It was nice to walk around the local shops while we waited and then afterwards to work off those delicious carbs. Thin crust pizzas clean, fresh, not heavy and seasonal ingredients. The crust is soooo good. Chewy and some char. We had: Montana Burger Royale My teen son dreams about this. Yes its 27.00 and he said its the BEST burger he's ever had. I would have to agree (and we live in Austin TX where there's great cow) -the burger meat melted in your mouth -the egg dripping as you break the yolk was perfection. The bacon so juicy, the brioche bun (that was the winning touch) We shared: Hot Honey Pizza- so good 9/10 Spicy Burrata- also great. 8/10 Mac n cheese- that was the only miss. Way under seasoned and the white sauce seemed to get sucked up by the pasta so the dish was super dry. 3/10 Frites and Fondue- fries were great. Thick cut with finely shaved pecorino. Could have used a heaping more of the shaved cheese. -the fondue was ok, seemed still under seasoned or just not creamy enough? I'd swap that for some roasted garlic with the truffle oil. 6/10 Local brews and ciders were great! 9/10 Huckleberry Cheesecake 9/10 save room for this bad boy. We split it between 4 people. Not too sweet. Tart and delightful! The world cup was on the TV so it was a hopping place even as it rained during a late June evening. Parking garage nearby is free for 2hrs so thats cool!

Wasn't sure if we should order one or two because the sizing wasn't clear, but a lot of reviews mentioned the pizzas are more around the personal size. I'd say two people could probably share a pizza no problem. We got the vodka pizza, added Italian sausage, as well as the pepperoni. The three of us nearly polished off both pizzas. The pizzas were good, but the undercarriage was pretty floppy, which made me think it probably could have cooked maybe a tad bit longer. They have some good looking pasta dishes as well!
