    Dinner Menu
    Kevin J.

    We stopped with a party of 6 on a Sunday evening in August. There are many large tables for groups and we were sat right away. Relatively limited menu, but we went with the two family style options. The fired chicken and ribs were both great and each came with two sides. Total bill came out to $200 for one appetizer, two family style meals, and 6 beers which felt reasonable for the experience.

    Back again and got a chance to meet Chef Max who was wonderful! Chadwick also checked in on us multiple times. We had the pasta and chicken dinner (2 shared chicken and three of us had the pasta) and we all loved our selections!! Zoe took care of us and did a nice job. We will definitely come back next year.

    We went here for both the lunch buffet and the a la carte dinner and had a great experience overall. The lunch buffet offered premium meats, including smoked salmon and bison flank steak. One that I did not like was the mushroom soup, which tasted like biscuit gravy and was not enjoyable by itself. And service during the lunch buffet could have been better. We asked for plain butter for our bread since we did not like the sweet butter offered at the buffet. Our first waitress forgot about us, so we had to ask another waitress to bring it. Dinner was a much better experience. I ordered the tomato bisque, and it was comforting and enjoyable given the cold weather outside. Despite the restaurant being busy with conference attendees, the noise level was manageable and did not take away from the experience.

    Compressed Watermelon Salad

    What an incredible experience at Chet's in Big Sky Resort. From the moment we sat down, the service was absolutely exceptional, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Every dish that arrived at the table felt like a work of art. We ordered the compressed watermelon, roasted cauliflower, and green tomato dish, and each one was beautifully presented and even more impressive in flavor. Every bite was thoughtful, creative, and perfectly executed. Our server shared that the new management has completely reimagined the menu, elevated the service standards, and revamped the beverage program, and it absolutely shows. As a sommelier, I was especially impressed by the Coravin wine selection, which offered an outstanding opportunity to enjoy exceptional wines by the glass. It's rare to leave a restaurant feeling this impressed, but Chet's exceeded every expectation. A truly memorable dining experience, and I can't wait to return!

    Eggs Benedict - Cold potato , soggy muffin with hard asparagus ... nothing good to say about this plate
    Regina E.

    Stayed in a beautiful condominium on property and Chets is the restaurant for resort. Dinner first night was undercooked fried chicken with runny mashed potatoes. Breakfast next morning was cold eggs Benedict on soggy English muffin and cold breakfast potatoes. Service and staff very good - food a BIG disappointment

    Another great dining option located at Big Sky Resort. Friendly staff who kindly made a reservation that day of. Incredible, unique menu options. The bison appetizer melts in your mouth. The service was quick and the restaurant was definitely more upscale compared to most restaurants on the resort. Totally worth the visit!

    Really great experience here. From the great waitstaff to the delicious food, this is a great spot to dine at. The food is more of an upscale feel but with relaxed vibes. The bison appetizer melts in your mouth and all the entrees you can choose from you can't go wrong

    If you come here be prepared to wait at least 45 minutes between placing your order and getting the food. We came here a second time a year later and waited an hour for a soup, salad, and sandwich to come out. The kitchen is not run well and not organized. There was a table of 14 and only a few other tables (not a fully packed dining room) and the kitchen struggled getting food out. The food itself is good but the staff seems very understaffed for the volume of diners.

    Ribeye
    Amber G.

    Dined in during our weekend in Big Sky. Chet's Bar and Grill was an easy option since we were staying at Huntley Lodge. Just keep in mind that it's not going to be the most affordable option in the area. We were in town celebrating my husband's birthday so we weren't as conscience about the hefty price tags as we would normally be. The restaurant is nice without being overly fancy. There were some people who were dressed up a bit and others sporting their comfy sweats. Our server for the night was Aspen and she was very sweet and attentive. Now let's talk food. The mac and cheese was good but way too much to spend on a small dish if you ask me. Nothing over the top about it unless you consider gruyere and truffle bread crumbs worth $19. Don't get me wrong, it was tasty, just not worth spending as much as we did. My husband ordered the ribeye and it was cooked perfectly at his requested medium rare. He was obsessed with the Huntley butter and kept raving about how much it helped elevate the dish. The asparagus and mashed potatoes were perfect compliments. Our only complaint was the edges were a little too charred for our liking. It overpowered the steak a bit. I had the braised short rib with absolutely zero regrets. It was tender and flavorful - hands down my favorite thing of the night. The sage honey carrots were a great touch and if I could have finished the whole dish, I would have! The portions were great. The cheesecake was light and fluffy. Very likely a no-bake cheesecake if that's your thing. I liked it, especially after a hefty meal. But my husband on the other hand loves a dense cheesecake so this was not his jam. The huckleberry topping was a nice touch. Our bill (including the tip) was a whopping $200. For decent food + a couple of hot apple ciders, it's not my first choice. We likely won't be back unless we really want another short rib.

    Chicken and waffles sandwich
    Pam H.

    After a long day driving and arriving during the first snow of the season, we just wanted to sit down and eat, and not have to go anywhere. We really enjoyed our meal. Total bill before tip was $88 so this isn't a cheap place, but it's in a ski resort so what else is new? The ambience was great - warm and cozy, pretty much exactly the vibe we were looking for. Our server, Olivia, was great too. The food was very good - I think we were both pleasantly surprised. My pasta hit the spot, and my son loved his chicken and waffles. Overall for what it was we were very pleased.

    Restaurant was in the neighboring hotel in which we were staying at. It was .1 miles away walking. The walk was a little rough as the snow was blowing in our faces. The only honorable mention was the mushroom pappardelle spaghetti and chicken wings. The beyond meat did not hit. The fries were too crispy and not filled with potato. I didn't like that. Honorable mention for drinks was the pink drink called Apres Picante (jalapeño infused agave spirit, Cointreau, grapefruit, and orange bitter).

    Bad scrambled eggs and under toasted English Muffin.

    After one dinner and three breakfasts at Chet's, I believe I can confidently give this place 1 star and recommend avoiding it at all costs. It's so bad, we'll be skipping our final two complimentary breakfasts from staying at the Huntley Lodge for a family of 7. The complimentary breakfast was one of the reasons we booked the Huntley and paying for breakfast is honestly far preferable to going here again. Let's start with the service. One lady wanders around doing nothing at breakfast, but she also seems to be the only one there every day. At one point, she looked out the window for a solid 15 minutes. She once got us coffee once. Just set a pot on the table and said "That's what you wanted, right?" The male hostess was there 2 days in the morning and heavily sighs every time he looks at his list when there are like 5 tables full out of 25. The rest of the servers we had were unremarkable at best. Not particularly friendly. Definitely not very attentive as we had to remind them about forgotten food and to bring coffee creamer several times. Several wrong orders. They seem to be a different set of servers each day and apparently the servers can't handle more than about 2-3 tables? We came on a Sunday morning and was told it would be a 1 hour wait, but the dining room was far from full, maybe 8 tables for 3 servers. Apparently they aren't properly staffed. The atmosphere is extremely average "lodge" vibe overall, but when we had dinner there was a loud game show event in the hall next door. So loud, another employee asked if we wanted to be moved so we moved tables. He also gave us dessert to go for the experience, which was probably the nicest service we had. For the food, let's start with the positives. The fish and chips were solid and so was the French Dip, per my family. My Bison Burger was below average burger overall, didn't taste particularly fresh. Typical resort pricing here, but you also expect average to above average food quality. I'd give the dinner food 3 stars. Breakfast food, a rundown. Marscapone in crepes was bad. We had to send back and "We probably just don't like Marscapone." No, ma'am, we've had crepes in France. -Absolute abominable scrambled eggs. Check the pic, come on. -Cold rancher potatos. Every time. -Cold sausage links right from the kitchen. -Barely toasted bread/English muffins (multiple days multiple people) -Rubbery poached eggs both as a side and on on eggs Benedict -Hollandiase sauce was broken and flavorless on the Benedict -Hair in my butter one day. The good: Bacon is good. Steel cut oats are good. Pancakes are ok. This place is a disaster. It's clear no one wants to be there. Effort is obvious and there is zero care here. If it wasn't for the complimentary breakfasts I'm not sure this place would survive even in a resort town. For context, the Best Western Plus we stayed at on our road trip to get here has a better breakfast.

    Stayed at the Huntley and were initially swayed to book here because of the complimentary breakfast. Can't go wrong with a free breakfast! We were anticipating a counter with some bagels and cereal for us to grab ourselves but were pleasantly surprised! The restaurant is cozy with a great view and the staff was friendly each time we dined with them. We experienced the breakfast and dinner, and enjoyed both menus. My family liked the steak and eggs... so good!

Our server was efficient, he brought us a pitcher of water after we quickly downed our first glasses. We ordered 3 burgers and the steak sandwich. The burgers and fries were all great. The steak sandwich had maybe 2oz of meat on it and a few arugula leaves. We called attention to the measly sandwich with the waiter...like surely this can't be right for $33? He didn't act like it was unusual, but offered to swap it out for another burger at our request. I wish I would've taken photo of it, because it was comical. Especially next to the huge burger and huge turkey club sandwiches they were bringing out. There were a LOT of flies and bees around our table constantly. All other tables had one of those fly fans on them, but we didn't get one. The flies were abundant and annoying. This was the first meal we've eaten at Big Sky, so I can't say whether or not we would return. Perhaps at dinner. It has a great reputation. But I wouldn't order the steak sandwich again.

As soon as this new management agency Apres Cru took over; Tips Up went down hill. The charm is gone. Thebartenders and servers are no longer allowed to hangout with their friends off the clock at Tips or the other two establishments that Apres Cru runs. It's quite disheartening to walk into Tips now and know for 100% certain our friends who work there cannot enjoy it with us. Apres Cru has managed to turn a beloved (by locals, tourists, and passerbys) bar in Big Sky to a corporate nutcase that FEELS corporate and no longer feels like a real fun place or real bar. Now it feels like a glorified buffalo wild wings. While I love some B-Dubs, I love Tips Up much more.

Recently since Apres Cru took over, private events run the pool table, more covers on events than ever before, and again, lack of social energy as the staff would come hangout and bring additional cheer. it was wonderful to have a drink made by a favorited bartender and THEN to have drinks with them off shift. It's astonishing for a company to come in and think they know best without any input from those already working there or locals in the area. Big Sky has a fragile community balance and a company affecting us like this really jeopardizes the balance. Tips Up is the only bar on this side of town that manages to speak to all ages and backgrounds. Not just the upper scale of places like waypoint (Even waypoint manages a local feeling and their drinks, price points, and atmosphere is absolutely not that or a ski town sports bar.) I'd understand if the staff was being ridiculous or unprofessional but through many examples i have witnessed each of them showcase professionalism off the clock. Even going as far as helping remove heinous people from the bar just because their coworkers appeared stressed or ready to get a person out. They've removed locals cards, hiked prices on drafts and other drinks, don't allow their staff (the locals) to be apart of the bar scene off of work, and contributed to the destruction of our local community. I cannot count how many times this season I myself have left or have witnessed people leave due to this new company. It is simply no longer the same energy and it brings much sadness to us here. Nearly finished - they refuse to hire anyone. new whilst their staff very obviously struggles someday managing everything. I went in one day and there was 1 bartender and 1 server for the entire inside room and outside patio. if you've never been, that's a lot of steps during a lunch rush. Additionally, each table can hold a full family. Yet they refuse to hire anyone else to support their staff. All in all, the staff is still lovely. I adore each of them and am aware none of this is their fault. it's ANOTHER company coming into our town and trying to "fix" what isn't broke. The most ironic part of this is when Apres Cru came to town, someone told them, "Don't turn our Big Sky into your New York" "Oh trust us, we don't plan on it. We love the charm of this town" That was in November of 2025. Irony is a funny thing. if you're in Big Sky, give some sympathy to the staff for what they have to deal with. Tip the staff well for their troubles and then consider not giving your money to this disgraceful corporation. They also oversee Blocks 3 and Bucks so l imagine similar antics are happening at each of them. the salads are good tho. Cheers. G. Hanners.
