Decor is rustic, open air and clean. Coffee - hot, with cream, like my wife loves. Sweet Tea - i'm not much of a coffee drinker, but to a Southerner, sweet tea is acceptable for starting any day. Thai breakfast Bowl - fabulous presentation, fresh ingredients and it has a KICK. Biscuits and Gravy - biscuits were dense and the gravy was more like a paste, but the tastes were great. Great laid back place and worth the effort to find.

Mmm bbq Can't beat this brisket…read more These guys are a family run small local business and take pride in the yumminess they provide to the valley. Currently their set up is a tent and tables but soon will be a food truck. Yay My favorite was the brisket knachos on fries. The beer cheese sauce was awesome. I doused it with mustard sauce, bbq sauce, jalapeños and onions. Then ate it with a fork. Couldn't finish it. But wanted to. So much oozy gooey goodness. The same brisket was also on a sandwich and my husband got that with a side of fries. The prices are reasonable and the service top knotch. Find these guys at Sunrift Friday and Saturday afternoons/evenings. You will not be disappointed.

In search for beer and BBQ we found SunRift brewing and KnucklHed BBQ food truck which was…read morestationed on the SunRift property. After getting a delicious beer we ordered the knachos (tater tot nachos) with smoked brisket and a pulled pork sandwich. HOLY MOLY. Who knew BBQ in Montana could be so good. The brisket on the nachos was juicy and flavorful. It came with beer cheese where there was an excellent balance of flavor and we loaded it up with jalapeños, onions and sauce. We especially loved the homemade Carolina mustard sauce and also enjoyed their BBQ sauce. The pulled pork sandwich came on a fancier hot dog type roll which was a new way for me to have a pulled pork sandwich and fabulous! Loaded up with the same toppings this melted in our mouths. Paired with a SunRift beer and live music on a Saturday night = heaven. For a girl who doesn't eat a ton of meat this was SO worth it. Make an effort to come here from near and far please !

Not bad at all. We had the brisket, hush puppies, and ribs with the dry rub. The brisket had a…read morenice crust with great seasoning. Dry rub ribs were tasty and was a good choice. Hush puppies were fine, but we noticed we did eat them all. There can be a bit of frantic energy there, but Brie made sure we were dialed in and everything went well. We got take out and it was pretty seamless. We saw there were some outside tables, but as we got take out we can't really comment on the atmosphere. Would get it again. 8oz of brisket was a good size portion for one. Half rack of ribs fed 2. If you do take out, call ahead to make sure there isn't a wait. It might help to time your order.

The rib and brisket meat was not fresh. Tasted reheated and dry. The Mac & cheese was just okay and the baked beans had a mixture of different beans in them and were not a traditional baked bean. The platters were served with cornbread. While it was served cold, it did come with honey butter that was tasty. The smoked chicken was very good, but I wish it had been fresh as well. The pulled pork slider kids meal was not finely chopped and hard to eat because it was not fresh. The barbecue sauce was very good!

Could not cut it, bite it or chew it. Brisket should fall apart like butter in your teeth with no need for a knife. The pulled pork was too salty and way too sweet from store bought sauce. Canned corn and canned beans for sides. Gave a $10 tip to be generous, but $34 plus tip for inedible food is a big bummer. I wish the owner the best but we were not happy with our meal.

The Lodge and Russell's are spectacular examples of the government actually doing something right - incredible natural setting and superb tributes to turn-of-the-last century mountain west architecture (the Lodge was designed by Kirtland Cutter and built in 1913.) We had lunch here on Russell's season opening day so the crowd was thin but it allowed for tailored service by the staff. Our server was attentive and provided insight into the fare while the rest of the team ensured we didn't want for refills of anything. The manager noticed our Dartmoith and Harvard fleece garments and, being a New Englander, made a point to stop at our table and personally welcome us. The menu emphasizes fresh and local and we ordered the bison buger and pesto farfalle. Everything was prepared to perfection and we could not have been more pleased with the quality and quantity. The bison is from a local ranch while the pasta was perfectly al dente. The exclamation point on the mealk, however, was the huckleberry pie topped with local huckleberry ice cream (huckleberry is a local product.) No meal at Russell's is complete without this dish! Mountain rustic with finely crafted local food is a winning combination. Well done Russell's!
