Came here due to Yelp reviews as we were traveling through the area on vacation. Am very grateful we made the stop. This restaurant/bar is located in the heart of downtown Ennis. The preserved historic facade is a much appreciated gateway to the past. The same rustic theme passes through to the interior with some obvious upgrades. It's inviting yet you know it's a bar too...the food doesn't seem to be the focus yet it definitely should not be missed. We sat ourselves and the bartender quickly arrived with menus and asked for our drink order. This girl had to hustle as she was tending bar, cleaning tables, placing and serving orders...felt a little sorry that she had so much on her plate, but she never lost her smile and appeased every customer easily. Food came out quicker than I expected since it was a one-woman show, but the cook is somewhere in the back and he helped bringing out plates. My husband had "The Gunsmoke" (classic smash burger), added cheddar cheese. My friend and I had "The Outlaw" smash burger (bacon, bleu cheese, bourbon grilled onions) and my other friend had the chicken tenders. The burgers were heavily seasoned (some complained of too much salt, though to me it was perfect), tender and juicy even though the burgers were leaning more towards medium well than medium. All ingredients were a perfect compliment to each burger. The Outlaw is incredibly rich since there aren't any fresh veggies to cut the richness, but that's also part of its charm. The rosemary French fries were crisp tender, seasoned well...utterly scrumptious in every sense of the word. My friend also enjoyed the chicken tenders....fried without being overdone and lightly seasoned. Drink refills were frequent and never had to ask. Price was very reasonable considering how much food we had and how delicious it all was. $35 for excellent service, wonderful juicy burgers and drinks was well worth every cent! Just an FYI - bathrooms are very outdated, though somewhat charming at the same time....probably the worst part of the visit, though not off-putting enough to not use. Odd that there was a young child sitting at the bar with their mother but maybe it's a small town thing...it did make me feel a little uncomfortable. read more

Delicious food and excellent service. Recommend the smash burgers and the chicken pesto sandwich, with the rosemary paper fries of course. A place that would make Miss Kitty proud. read more

I stopped in here on the night of 3/14/26 after being stuck in a blizzard in Island Park for 3 hrs (and 4 hrs on the road prior to that). It was the first establishment on my way home that had hot food. A burger, wings, or even fries would've been amazing. However, I stopped in at 9pm and the bartender said that they closed the kitchen ONE minute ago. I explained my situation and asked if they had any leftover fries or really anything that I could eat after a long, brutal winter day. They said no. There were still servers delivering food to tables at that time. So much for local hospitality... I will never be visiting this establishment again. read more

Came in for a bite with the family. Kendra was our waitress and she gave us great recommendations. Spicy honey chicken wings were awesome and tasty, rib eye sandwich, cowboy burger and chicken pesto sandwich were all amazing and made to order. We loved the French fries! What a great find in Ennis! Highly recommend to stop by and enjoy the local place with your families. You walk in and it's a saloon with the bar in front and tables in back. We sat up front with a high top and everyone was happy. Stop by and enjoy! read more

Excellent customer service...excellent BLT and Burger. The best French Fries ever ! Thank you. read more

So, I might be addicted to the burgers here. So good! I had tons of family in last weekend and everyone said it was one of the best burgers they ever had. We eat here at least once a week. If you're local, you know. If you're visiting, you won't regret it! read more

This place is a cute little bar and has SUPER good food. Best burger we found in the area. We went there once when it was a little slower and the waitress/bartender was excellent. read more

We ended up at the Longbranch unexpectedly and it turned into one of the best meals we've had in a long time. After a long three days of work, we were five dirty guys with work clothes on who tried to eat at the Tavern. We were told we needed reservations so we went to the Longbranch. Upon entering, the Longbranch was a very welcoming atmosphere. We sat down and were greeted with a smile by our server. Most of us ordered the prime rib special and it was one of the best steaks and side salad we've tasted. Even the presentation was amazing. Our table was right next to the kitchen so we were able to watch the chefs at work. These two men took so much pride in every dish they sent out. The presentation was amazing and I bet each one tasted just as good as our meal. The Longbranch is truly a diamond in the rough in Ennis. I just wish we would have found it sooner. We will be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a laid back atmosphere and amazing food! read more

Great service, good food, and good drinks. Low key late on a Sunday evening. Enjoyed the laid back atmosphere.

Perfect spot to grab a Rainer and a burger after fishing all day. Beer is cold and the food is great. TouchTunes jukebox is the icing on the cake. read more

Love this place! The new owners are great. We used to always come here for drinks on our annual fishing trip but now it's a must stop for dinner. So good we ate here two nights in a row! read more

First time eating here. Our waitress was very good, had a Bloody Mary drink, not the best I've had. Dinner was ribeye steak sandwich, very good! I would enjoy eating here again! read more

Food was very good and so was the service. But if you are looking for a steak, don't bother. This is not a steakhouse.

Absolutely fabulous service from a male employee, sorry can't remember his name. We had a slight mix up on an order and the female server was also just as kind and friendly as could be, and fixed it immediately. Such a pleasant experience and the burgers were excellent. The tots were worth paying a little extra for, the fries freshly prepared per order and we had a great IPA recommended by our server. All in all, an A+ read more

Amazing food, very tasty and great service! Super nice people. Nice atmosphere. Must stop here!

Food was very good and so was the service! Good selection of spirits and the drinks were excellent.

Best burger, fries & beer combo ever. This place has the local feel, great food, cold beer, pleasant atmosphere and staff.

First things first....this place is a saloon #1. As you enter the saloon, you are welcomed with a pool table, active/lively bar, and a few casino games. The place does have a quieter back room if that is needed. We decided to sit where the action is near the bar inside the saloon. The saloon definitely caters to the locals as many of the employees and guests seemed to know each other. Was a great vibe. We were greeted and helped very quickly. Our waitress was nice and sassy. She had the ability to dish out some trash talking which made the experience interesting....in a good way. The owner even stopped by and put in a few jabs to us non-locals......all in good humor. We ordered a beer to start along with fried pickles. Tip, they do not have beers on tap. The pickles had a nice spice to them and plenty of crunch. For dinner we grabbed a couple of burgers. The burgers were cooked outside on the BBQ which provided a great charred taste. The burgers were good but lacked on the bacon and pastrami. The tots and onion rings were a bit on the overcooked side...but we still devoured them. If you are in Ennis and looking for a burger, a saloon, a bit of sassy....longbranch is for you. Cheers Always! read more

Good fun and drinks, and met some neat younger adults. Big momma poured some killer drinks, kept our glasses full. I think this is the only bar that stays open later, good for us late arriving to town travelers. Also a nice easy walk from our Riverside hotel. Will keep on our lists to revisit, and bring fly rods for you anglers. read more

This is a fantastic local bar in the heart of Ennis Montana - Fly Fishing Capitol of the Universe. The Long Branch has a great vibe and you can choose between a full beer menu or call-it drinks. The dinner specials looked amazing but I had already made plans. The 20 oz. NY Strip has my name on it next time through town. As a bonus, they have a package liquor license and can sell you carry out beer & such. read more

Absolutely the best steak I've had in my 53 years! Big Mama makes you immediately feel like family, the drinks are half the price of Bozeman, and the food is much better than you can find at 5 star restaurants in NYC! read more

Despite the fact that they don't have beer on tap (but they do have Coldsmoke Scotch Ale in cans!), everything else about Longbranch Saloon was excellent. It was a quiet late Friday afternoon, only 2 locals at the bar, who nicely joined in the conversation. We were served by Big Momma (so much fun). They have a new chef, who in my humble opinion, serves the best chicken wings ever ! We also had the mushrooms (tasty) and shared the special Curry Shepherds Pie with great mashed potatoes and a perfect amount of ground meat and veggies with a nice curry flavor. We stayed longer than we expected to and had a great time. Highly recommend. read more

Quaint little old-timey "saloon," somewhere between a family-friendly tourist trap and a biker bar. Came here with my sis on a Sunday night in July, and there wasn't much going on. We sat at the bar and had drinks, plus shared a steak sandwich. There's a full-on restaurant in the back, but we preferred the ambiance of the bar. Bartender was cool, and did shots with the cook/owner and the hostess right in front of us. Low-key and unpretentious vibe, not overly family-friendly but also not too hardcore. I'd probably come here again. read more

One word to describe this place... Welcoming. I arrived into town late Saturday night of Memorial Day weekend and most of the restaurants had closed. The kind lady over heard me asking about diner and she asked me what I was looking for. I told her I was not picky. Next thing I know I have a beer and a plate of Stuffed shells, cucumber salad and one the best Anti-pasta I have ever had. The shells were also delicious and the two bartenders found me a nice Stout from here in Montana. Folks, this is the hospitality I can only hope for when I arrive in a new location. I believe they call her Mamma (Air Force Veteran). So, thank you Mamma for your wonderful WELCOMING! From this Arm Vet to you, much love and appreciation. read more

I grew up in Ennis and learned to play pool at the Longbranch. Came for a visit and it's even better. Big Mamma and the crew are great and I would have given 6 stars if i could. read more

A real surprise. Old time bar up front, restaurant has tables that look like they came out of a roadside breakfast place from 1970 with white paper table cloths that came off a roll. Stop there..... The steaks are absolutely fantastic! Cooked perfectly over a wood fire. Not cheap but worth every penny. Bean soup was excellent and salad was large and very well dressed. Large selection of bottled beers - nothing on tap. If your not in a hurry and want a stupidly good steak not a place to miss! read more

We ate here on a Sunday evening on way to Yellowstone. Was one of the few locations open to eat at. Admittedly, I was a little skeptical at first due to the name of the place, tried telling my wife that a saloon doesn't have food. Boy was I wrong! You walk into the bar part first, but there is a sitting area in the back, past the restrooms. We were seated quickly, and the one girl working the place got our food order quickly. I had the steak sandwich, my wife had the chicken fried steak. Wow, that steak sandwich had actual NY strip pieces of steak on it, and it was dang good! My wife loved here chicken fried steak, said it was one of the best she's had, ever!! Don't let the name or the look of the place (with it looking like a bar first) scare you off. The food is great and I think you will be pleased you tried it!!!! read more

The dining room is closed on Mondays. However there was young local color and the canned and bottled beer selection features many local brews including Keep Cool Creek blonde ale from The Front Brewing Company out of Great Falls. read more

Many would say that if you happen to pass through Ennis, Mt you should stop at this bar. I recommend that you go out of your way to stop at this bar. We have traveled the country and met many amazing people and enjoyed many wonderful places; none compared to the atmosphere created by this incredible town and of course Big Mamma. Thank you Big Mamma for a wonderful experience. You didn't know it at the time but my wife and I were dealing with the loss of our long time pet and just wanted to get out and relax for a bit. You took it to the next level with your friendliness and hospitality. We felt like part of this small, wonderful town. Hope to see you again. P.S. loved the food! read more

Great place. Not yet ruined by tourists and yuppies. A great homage to the way Montana used to be!

We ate in the restaurant section, behind the bar - I've eaten at the best steakhouses in Chicago, New York, San Fransisco . . . . this place has a FANTASTIC steak. Cooked outdoors, over green hickory wood, and seasoned to perfection. The service was outstanding, Lori (spelling?) spent time at each table, it was just a very pleasant surprise. read more

We visited in 2014 and had an absolutely amazing hickory smoked ribeye steak at the Long Branch Saloon. Super tender with fantastic flavor. I hope to visit again and have another! Very friendly service, too. read more
