    Outside seating as well as inside dining...
    Steve H.

    Finally drove by when there was little to no line/wait. Ordered two brisket sandwiches and a large tub of the pinto beans. Our order was to go and we planned on eating inside Yellowstone (Barns Hole Road on the Madison River). Staff were extremely polite and engaging. Grabbed our order and peddled down to the river. The pinto beans were still piping hot; so we needed this to cool before digging in. But, that gave us time to enjoy our sandwiches. Delicious. When we finally tucked into the pinto beans, we discovered more chunks of brisket than beans! Very pleased and surprised. Also, excellent flavor (and we live near Austin Texas during the off season and know BBQ). Our kids have been here numerous times and speak highly of their food. I've only had take out a number of years ago and this was my first "fresh from the kitchen" experience. Will absolutely go back!

    See? All sold out except brisket the moment we arrived... but brisket was perfectly delicious !

    Ran out of literally everything by the time we sat down. As we stood in line, the only meat remaining that was still available was the brisket. What luck! The juicy brisket was perfectly cooked and so moist, tender and delicious. It was quite possibly the best I've ever had... and I love barbecue. They do their smoking/cooking during the day and stay open until it runs out. It was a very popular place obviously and so glad we came across it on Yelp on our wonderful trip to the national parks. We ended our Yellowstone trip on a high note! The restaurant uses paper and plastic (so clean up is easy) and a lot is self serve such as utensils, napkins, water ... but that didn't affect the quality of the food. Adding lots of photos as well. Wish they could smoke more meats so they have enough to last for later in the evening.

    If you're visiting Yellowstone and in the mood for good BBQ, this is the place to check out. Service is quick and prices are reasonable. Loved the brisket and pork ribs, but I want to give a special shoutout to the Buffalo sausage links. Those were the bomb!

    We've been trying to eat here for years during our visits to Big Sky. We've either been here too early (they don't open till noon) or too late (they close when they run out of BBQ). Today we waited for them to open and it was worth it. We had the bison sausage, brisket, corn salad and mac-n-cheese. We tried the sausage out of curiosity and while flavorful, I don't think bison is our jam. The brisket was AMAZING! Tender and full of flavor. It was good on its own but the BBQ sauces were good with it as well. The hot BBQ sauce had a bite to it - mixing the two together was perfect for me. I never had corn salad before and was surprised how tasty it was. The mac-n-cheese was really good and a perfect accompaniment to our meal! Firehole - it was worth the wait and we'll be back!

    So good we came back the next day for more! The best bbq I've ever had. Incredibly flavorful and cooked to perfection. The brisket is my personal favorite while my husband loved the ribs. All of the sides were incredible too. The Cole slaw is perfectly balanced and crispy. The corn is delicious and the crunchy topping elevates the overall side dish. The Mac and cheese is a good side dish that tied the whole meal together. A must try!

    Bbq pork ribs
    Pat W.

    Amazing!! Beyond mouth-watering! The bbq pork ribs were incredible, fall off the bone delicious. The cole slaw was outstanding as was the Mac n cheese' was absolutely delicious. We arrived just as a young woman posted a sign about peach cobbler being available. She'd just taken it out of the oven. We knew we were added peach cobbler to our order and we are really glad we did. We definitely plan to come back here before we leave. The best bbq ribs and bbq sauce ever. It's their own bbq sauce, they smoke their meats on site and serve until they run out for the day. Totally fresh meats and sides they have every right to brag about. If you are anywhere near West Yellowstone and you love bbq done right- please, please, please treat your tastebuds to Firehole BBQ. The service is quick, the staff very welcoming and the food will make you want extras to take with you. You'll leave happy!

    1/2 lb brisket with Mac and cheese

    This place was really good! I ordered the 1/2 lb brisket with a side of mac and cheese and made it into a brisket bowl. It was very flavorful and filled me up! The staff was also super friendly.

    Does this restaurant opens up at 11am? I found another question and answer but google map says it's 11 am and was confirmed one week ago.

    Yes they do which I recommend. They list 11 to 10 but more accurately 11 am til they run out which does happen they are that good.

    Does this restaurant open up at 11am or 4pm? Yelp says 11am but google says 4pm (9/10/21)

    Hours are 4pm and until they sell out.

    Does the staff wear masks to avoid spreading COVID to customers?

    Yes, they were all wearing masks, however, they were very unfriendly and not helpful at all when we (first time customers) had questions about how much/what to order.… 

    Is it dog friendly?

    There is outdoor seating!

I arrived around 7 PM and grabbed a seat at the bar since I was dining solo. The restaurant was busy, but the atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable. For dinner, I ordered the Chicken Prosciutto Pasta with a side of bread. The pasta was outstanding -- easily one of the best pasta dishes I've had in a long time. The combination of braised chicken, prosciutto, mushrooms, tomatoes, roasted red peppers, and creamy parmesan-mascarpone sauce came together perfectly. Every bite was flavorful, rich, and satisfying without feeling heavy or dry. As someone preparing for a half marathon the next morning, it was the perfect carb-loading meal. I also ordered the Huckleberry Sundae for dessert. If you're visiting the Yellowstone area, do yourself a favor and try something with huckleberries. The ice cream, topping, and whipped cream were fantastic, and it ended up being one of my favorite desserts from the trip. One unexpected bonus was getting to chat with other travelers at the bar, including another runner who was also working toward completing a half marathon in all 50 states. It added to the friendly, welcoming feel of the place. Overall, Madison Crossing Lounge delivered excellent food, a great atmosphere, and a memorable dining experience. I don't hand out many five-star reviews, but this one earned it. If I'm back in West Yellowstone for another race or a visit to Yellowstone National Park, I'll absolutely be returning.

We noticed it as we walked…read morethrough the neighborhood and the menu featured a bit of everything for everyone in the family. After a particularly warm day of hiking, my husband and I resolved to try OTC -- especially since signs read that it was established in 2023. Keeping restaurants open is very hard work. I was interested in trying a buffalo burger while my husband looked forward to more trout. Since this is a family-friendly restaurant, perhaps the entry should be rethought. The door directly opens to the bar, which has high tables where families can be seated. (Here, we chose seats so we could watch the World Cup match.) There's another room with more conventional, lower tables. I asked for sliced jalapenos to be added the buffalo burger with cheddar, lettuce, sliced tomato, diced raw red onion on a toasted bun. Diners can specify to what extent the buffalo is cooked: medium or med rare are recommended. Substitute side fries for a side salad (romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, shredded cheese & crutons) for a nominal fee. * Ask your server to hold the cheese on the salad if you don't prefer it. Very friendly bartender and wait staff. We appreciated the periodic check-in throughout our meal.
