    Chili
    Nat B.

    This was one of the few places open when we arrived at the indoor plaza. We were seated by the host, and our waitress took our order. We ordered the chili, chicken Caesar salad, mixed salad with chicken, and the pretzel with beer cheese. The food was exactly what you would expect from a restaurant with a sports bar vibe, and everything was reasonably priced. There was a TV near the bar playing football games, so most people gathered there and cheered for their favorite teams, which added to the atmosphere. Overall, it was a great dining experience. I do wish we had tried their bison and huckleberry dip that many reviewers were raving about, maybe next time.

    Sweet potato fries with huckleberry sauce

    Did someone say huckleberry and bison? Two of my personal favorite things that makes the trip to Montana worth it just for that. The selection of burger options in unmatched at Montana Jack, which located right on the resort and in the main square. While service was slower, the food was worth the wait.

    First stop when I visited big sky and really enjoyed the comfort food here. Good drinks and great bites. We started with some fries with a huckleberry dipping sauce that was so good! The burgers were cooked perfect and I really liked the variety of options you could choose from. Service was a bit slow but it was also a busy night and our server was great!

    Cowboy burger
    Dzvinka S.

    Overall excellent spot for wings and burgers! The Jack salad was alright, but a large portion that could stand alone as its own meal. The wings were perfectly fried and amazing BBQ sauce. The burgers were also decently sized and came with crispy fries. The overall vibe is great for apres ski but I think they may be a bit understaffed. Highly recommend this spot.

    Chicken tenders app

    Came here twice for lunch and it's the perfect spot if you're only skiing half day: the portions are large and the food is hearty - not sure I would be able to ski after eating here because you leave FULL. First visit we both had burgers and they're YUGE and delicious. This time we tried the chili and chicken sandwiche and those were really good as well. A note about the chili, it's very heavy on the beans. Personally would have liked the bean to meat ratio to be a little smaller. Also no sour cream and could have used more cheese and scallions on top. I'm sure I could have asked for more but I didn't want to wait to eat because I was starving. Service was great both times. I like the vibe and the decor - very fitting for a ski lodge restaurant.

    Some hot coffee cocktail

    Ali is probably the nicest person employed by the resort because everyone else sucks (*cough* ski lift operators *cough*). Food and drinks were decent for lodge food and prices were unreasonable. I would vote this a good option for mid ski lunch break! It does get busy though!

    Bison Swiss and mushroom
    Dennis Q.

    Came here for lunch after hitting the slopes. Place gets busy and we got lucky in grabbing the last seats at the bar. The service and food were great. The bartender was wonderful and she was very nice and communicated at all times to let you know she didn't forget about you.

    Tangy Bang Burger with Sweet Potato Fries
    Jenn B.

    A perfect spot for a classic après experience or a cozy dinner. After a long day of travel and skiing, Montana Jack's is exactly what we were looking for a casual dinner. We tried the Tangy Bang Burger with Sweet Potato Fries and the Fried Brussel Sprouts, both of which were tasty and hearty. The next day we wanted to enjoy the après DJ so we ordered the Nachos to-go, really appreciate having this option since Montana Jack itself doesn't have a patio. Four stars only because it was a little pricy, but about what you would expect for on-resort dining.

    Waffle sweet potato fries with amazing dip
    Audra H.

    I came here with my love on our ski trip in late March 2022. Welcoming place and VERY busy (given it was a Tuesday). They have tons of beers on tap to try. Service was super fast. Our server, Jacob was amazing. He was quick and friendly and helpful. I had the vanilla coffee porter. It was okay 3/5. Not as flavorful as I expected. The Capone oatmeal stout on the other hand was amazing!!! Totally a 5/5. I actually had to order a second taster of those. The cider was yum! It had a perfect crisp flavor! I'd give it a 5. The sweet potato waffle fries with the huckleberry sauce were DA BOMB!!! Totally recommend. Get them and share them. They are plenty. I will come back and try out more within the next couple of days and update the review.

    Wild Rye Mule with 5 drops of bourbon
    Nina S.

    Popular place for all ages. They don't take reservations. Friendly staff, although our server was a bit overwhelmed being holiday weekend and short staffed. But she was friendly and checked on us enough that we were able to ask for more water/ketchup/dressing without having to wait too long. For drinks, we had Wildrye Mule, $14, ginger beer, fresh lime, choice of Wild Rye Distillery libation: vodka, cherry vodka, 5 drops bourbon, ramsdell silver rum, or old tom gin. We had it with the 5 drops bourbon. Very good and refershing! For starters, we had their Brewmaster Onion Rings, $10, beer-battered with siracha-ranch. The rings were crispy and delicious. They weren't greasy at all. We all had burgers which are served in fresh brioche bun, pickle, choice of fries and coleslaw: - Jack Burger, $16, cheese, LTO, house sauce, with fries -- good burger, fries were crispy and not oily at all. - Tangy Bang Burger, $17, smoked gouda, chopped bacon, jalapeño jam, garlic aioli, with fries -- the person who ordered this preferred the Jack Burger mainly because the Tangy Bang Burger was too salty. - Mushroom & Swiss, $17, mushroom sauce, swiss cheese, with coleslaw. The coleslaw was good, but nothing to rave about. The burger was delicious! I loved the mushroom and mushroom sauce with the swiss cheese. I like the mushroom and sauce so much that I ate it all...and left most of the burger (not because it wasn't good, but because I was full....ate too much of the onion rings!). Yes, it's pretty pricey for bar food, but if you're staying at the resort with no transportation nor the inkling to uber/taxi to town, then it's captive audience.

    I had a great time watching the World Cup here! (So, NOT ski season obv). Really attentive service!…read moreSince it's Big Sky, the prices were definitely high, but I was really impressed with the delicious BLT I had. A simple sandwich, but it was really elevated with thick, delicious bacon, so you felt like you were at least getting something special for your money. Also, the side salad I had was so fresh with a great variety of vegetables, and I was able to order an interesting house made parsley vinaigrette. It has a classic apre ski vibe, but also tons of space and some fun bar games.

    opinion from a local:…read more Food is not what it used to be. I came in here and the quality of the food has taken a dive off the deep end with no water in the pool. 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 brina additional cheer.

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.

    Staff went out of the way to accommodate our family on Christmas Eve. Mom made Christmas Day…read morereservations- but blanked on Christmas Eve. They squeezed us in - a lovely lounge spot by the fire. We had two kids , 5 and 7, hangry from a day on the slopes - and they were so kind. Our server went way out of her way to work around my long list of food allergies. Food, service, staff, everything was top notch!

    Enjoy the drinks, pass on the food. You're welcome…read more Service is friendly, drinks are pretty good! Stick to drinks. Hot toddy. I don't know where the kitchen is, but "far" is my guess. Food arrives on room-service carts, and ours was all Cold. Not just temperate or not-hot, but room-temp. $25 Wagyu Cheeseburger sound pretty good? Nope. It wasn't even kept under a heatlamp between the era when it was made and when it was served. Edges were dry and cold, not even warm in the center, zero juice. I get it, resort prices, convenience of eating in the Summit Lodge, trying hard not to complain about the $25 price, but it was just a limp cold burger. Fries? Also cold. I mean, the least they could have done, after recognizing the long time passed between making the meal and serving it, is refresh the fries, no? Cold greasy fries, cold dry overcooked burger. One star at any price. It's not like there's a shortage of burger options right at the Summit either. Am I going to complain that it was $75 for three burgers at our table? No, not if they were hot juicy Wagyu Cheeseburgers, but then, these were not.
