Four years ago we started incorporating private chefs into our annual ski trip as a way to bring fine dinning into the comforts of home. I do a healthy screening of who I want to work with and get bids from three vendors always. As much as I like to control everything, it all clicked when I first spoke with Melissa. She understood what I wanted to accomplish, she took all my input in about proteins, starches, "more food, more often" and even my love for risotto and sweets (not together, naturally)all under consideration. She took it all in to provided amazing recommendations that incorporated her style and fresh local ingredients. Melissa and the team provide an amazing spread with bore and elk sausage, bison sliders, trout dip and the best short ribs I have ever had. We did two dinners for 10 people over the course of our trip. Each day incorporating new flavors and unique dishes. There were big hugs at the end of our time with Seasonal Montana as the team brought more than just great food into our house they brought passion, personality and professionalism. I highly recommend Seasonal Montana.

***********************THIS IS TO COUNTER BECCA S. REVIEW******************* 1) I'm not affilitated with heap burger in anyway 2) heap burger is ran and owned by the heap family only. (husband and wife) 3) I wouldn't consider heap burger a "gourmet burger" you don't sit down with a glass of wine at a restaurant. You walk up to a bus and pay 9 bucks for a burger, chips, drink and it comes in a brown bag in under 8 minutes(thats fast) 4) Please do your homework before you come up with those accusations. 5) I'm writing an honest review of this place, they can do way better. There is a ton of room for improvement I will be going back to try it again later, but for now I'm sticking with my honest review. Other then that please read my review ***************************************************************************************** Let me say this first, I've been to every place in town that sells burgers and I wouldn't consider this "the best" burger. It's actually far, far away from being the best; I would say a million light years away from even being close to that title. So let's talk about the place: it's a nice location and the inside is nice as well. The staff are polite as can be. We had a lot of people come with us and we were able to accommodate our group at a table perfectly with more wiggle room. Moving on to the most important part: the food. I am giving them two stars. If I could do 1.5 stars I would. While the patty was tasty it doesn't change the fact that it's just a normal frozen burger thrown on a griddle and cooked all the way through. The size of the patty itself wasn't thick at all. The toppings were good but the bun wasn't great. It seems like they bought a ton of those small Great Value buns. The next biggest thing I didn't like was the fries. I got the waffle fries and I paid extra for a large. The taste and crunchiness was fine on mine but it seems like there is no difference on a regular order of fries and a large. Several people ordered a large as well and there was no difference from a regular! I counted 5 waffle fries(small ones) that looked like the Oreida fries you buy in a bag in the frozen food section at Wal-mart. Overall I paid 14-15 dollars for my burger (fries, drink, all the toppings included with that price). I still think Ted's and Burger Bobs Blow this place out of the water for taste, proportions, and price. But if you truly want the "best" burger in town for under 10 bucks, I would go to a place called Heap Burger. Thanks for reading read more

I have eaten at Best Burger twice already and both times were fantastic. The Nason's, both Betty and Wade, really know how to run a restaurant and what good old fashioned food should taste like. Before even taking my first bite, I was sold on the building and interior decorating. The building is small and cozy, but there are large tables to accommodate big groups. It is decorated with many local antiques and a precious family photo of the Nason's when Betty (whose restaurant is right behind Wade's), opened the Butcher Boy. The food was excellent both times I've been there. With fry options of hand cut, regular, waffle, and sweet potato, it is easy to find something that everyone will like! The burger was cooked to perfection and my heath flurry was delicious. I have nothing but great things to say about this place. I would definitely recommend it to anyone! read more

I recently visited Best Burger in Bozeman, MT, and had a mixed experience. I went through the drive-thru and ordered a 1/4 pounder with cheese, which was decent. The beef had good flavor, but overall, the burger was just a regular one--nothing really stood out as special. A note for future visitors: the cheeseburger doesn't come with fries or a drink, so you have to order those separately. I got a small fry with some fry sauce, which was good, though I felt the meal was a bit overpriced at around $15. The service wasn't the best either. The person working the drive-thru was a little dry and lacked warmth, making the overall experience feel less welcoming. All in all, it was a decent meal, but not sure if it lives up to the hype considering the price and lackluster service. read more

Just what I wanted from a small independent roadside burger joint: tasty honest grilled burgers, excellent French fries, fast service and a local "mom and pop" atmosphere. I also particularly like the owners "no tipping" policy. Bozeman has long awaited a non-chain counterpart to Livingston's Mark's In and Out (which is open only seasonally) and the Pop Stand (now defunct)... and this is as close as we get. Parking is a little limited, the interior decor is plain and beige, the exterior is easy to miss - anonymous really - and the location is a 16 mile R/T drive from downtown Bozeman to Four Corners. But if you're in the mood for a reasonably priced honest burger, it hits the spot. Recommended! read more

The food is just eh. Nothing great but not bad. Tastes like frozen chicken nuggets and fries you can buy at the grocery store. Really nothing special and no reason you would want to go here instead of McDonalds. I personally don't think it's worth the price for food that doesn't taste great. read more

We live nearby and frequent Liberty more often than we should!…read more It's a walk-up and order/indoor food truck vibe in the middle of The Market at Ferguson Farms - a complex of other shops and restaurants. There is seating closeby, around their booth. There is usually parking in The Market lot. If not, go across the street to the west. Now, those burgers... As someone who doesn't eat beef, I love the vegetarian, chicken breast, and turkey burger options. When I crave a Napa Burger w a turkey patty (with a green olives + gorgonzola flavor explosion), there is no turning back. You can also get a bowl or a salad with the same winning combo. I also recommend the Libertine burger, which comes with arugula and avocado on a whole grain bun. Word to the wise (or the dumb, since I only just figured this out, after years of Liberty), order a sauce w your burger and get extra if you like it saucy. My one complaint had been that my sandwich was consistently a bit dry, especially if ordered to go. Adding the sauce to the order for another $1.50 = problem solved. The homemade BBQ is a little spicy for my poor tender mouth, but the garlic aioli absolutely does the trick on either burger mentioned above. Three cheers for homemade ketchup as well. If you're still reading and not yet on your way to Liberty, two more notes: I LOVE their onion rings, and they often throw an extra one or two onto the order. (Yes, they use beef tallow. Apologies to the serious vegetarians.) And, the shakes are fantastic. You can have alcohol added to orders on site. They always have a featured flavor of the season/month. Then, roll yourself on home and plan your next day's workout accordingly (Or not. You do you.)

Flavor-wise though, it felt very standard. It tasted like a basic chocolate shake -- smooth and sweet, but without any distinctive flavor depth or house-made character. No richness, no unique twist, no texture contrast -- just a straightforward shake. At a lower price point (around $6-7), I likely wouldn't question it. But at $10, I expect either elevated ingredients, a specialty flavor profile, or something that makes it feel intentional and crafted rather than conventional. It wasn't bad -- just underwhelming for the cost. If you're already there and want something sweet, it will satisfy a craving. But if you're specifically seeking a standout milkshake experience, this may not quite deliver at the current price.
