Outstanding old school barbecue. Wife said the chicken was about the best she has ever had. I had a Texas brisket sandwich. Solid. Very lightly toasted white bun with a brand on top. Loved the slight crisp! Can't wait to return! read more

Moose Creek Barbecue - Texas brisket. Delicious! - Barbeque Near Me - Stevensville, Montana

The service and ambiance were excellent! Although the brisket was dry. They need to visit anywhere in Texas, Okla, Ks., and points South! As the Texans say: "You shouldn't need barbecue sauce to make the meat moist and tasty!" read more

Good BBQ but like most Bitterroot venues closed Sunday and Monday. Side dishes and cornbread very good. Can do takeout or eat at venue. They also cater. read more

Very clean and simple and relaxing . Not a lot of noise. You see yourself and then order from the counter and then they bring your food to your table. We ordered the sampler platter for two, and it was amazing however there were three of us and it serve all three of us up because it was a lot of food. we ended up bringing some home. The smoked turkey, and the tri-tip had an amazing smoke ring & flavor. The sausage was a little spicy but good Burnt ends were good. Pulled pork was good and brisket was very very good as well. Didn't care for the cornbread. We had baked beans, fried okra and tater tots. It was good. I wish they would have had like a scalloped potato or something like that to break up the BBQ but that's what we ordered. Next time we would order the potato salad or something along that lines. It was my daughter's birthday so she got to choose and they have celery in their potato salad and she does not like celery. So we went with cowboy beans, tater tots and the fried okra. The tater tots were very good, not greasy. Crispy on the outside soft on the inside. they were cooked to perfection as was the okra. It's a cleanup after yourself Kind of restaurant but no worries. For being in a small town It was great BBQ. Plenty of parking. Lots of Windows for light and the young lady at the counter was very sweet. She kept wishing my daughter a happy birthday. The platter was very reasonably priced too. read more

These folks catered a reception for our family about 5 years ago, they did a fantastic job. Lately we have lost confidence in their BBQ. Stopped in last month, the brisket was cold and chewy. Stopped yesterday, ask if the brisket was hot, they assured us it was. Again, three stips of cold hard brisket, very disappointed and probably will not be back for a while. Lunch for two without any drinks was over $40 and not worth the stop. Too bad, they used to be awesome. read more

Great made to order food . I had the burger and burnt ends. Everything came out quick hot and fresh.

Just as I was pulling into the parking lot of this place, a commercial for it came on the radio. The timing on that was notable. I have been to Moose Creek many times. This is a family affair and small business. The owner or his wife is usually out front, and their son (I think) is in the back making plates. Prices have gone up here the same as everywhere else. 2 months ago, I purchased an amazing half pound of brisket for 13.00 - today it was 16.50, and my root beer was 3.00. After a tip, it was just under 25.00 for 1 person. Sadly, it wasn't worth it. The brisket this time was super dry - like it was overcooked 2 days ago and reheated in a microwave level of dry. I hadn't experienced that here before, but I needed extra sauce to make it palatable, which was unfortunate and irritating. I sat pondering if raising prices and lowering quality is a common theme more recently - that was the case here today. One thing I do love about this place is that the BBQ sauce is outstanding! I previously purchased jars of it to go. I like to support small mom and pop places and realize negative reviews sometimes have unfortunate consequences for owners. I dont like to leave bad reviews unless my experience is truly awful. Today was pretty bad, but my previous visits were mostly good. The bottom line here: Value is not on the menu at all. It's expensive. If I pay you well for food (or anything else), I want to get what I pay for and no less. I got less today. For now, I have mixed feelings on Moose Creek BBQ. You should be prepared to open your wallet when you visit here... the recent 20% increase in prices makes eating here a bit unreasonable even considering inflation - especially if one has to be prepared to roll the dice on a potentially negative dining experience. One thing that is not a miss here: The BBQ Sauce is a 10/10. Overall, though, it was a dry, bland experience for me today. read more

Moose Creek Barbecue - Half poud of Brisket and a small soda. 23 bucks after tip. - Barbeque Near Me - Stevensville, Montana

I still enjoy Moose Creek BBQ for the pulled pork but sadly, I don't think the ribs are as good as they used to be. I could be wrong but the texture of the meat has changed. I think they may be par-boiling their ribs now to reduce the overall cooking time. There is nothing wrong with par-boiling but it does change the texture and the overall flavor of the meat. The result is that while it's still a good rib, it's no longer a Kansas City-style rib. Now maybe they aren't parboiling but something has definitely changed because I have noticed it the last 3 times we've eaten there. The pulled pork is still great and I love the sweet bbq sauce they make. read more

Don't waste your money here. Old meat re heated in the microwave, not fresh. Sides were ok. read more

Moose Creek Barbecue - Barbeque Near Me - Stevensville, Montana

Took our visiting granddaughter. We ordered lunch . Pulled pork sandwich, ribs and brisket. Everything was so good . We will be going back,

Atmosphere simple dated Went with a group 6 total - took a little bit for the main meals to come out We purchased appetizers which were solid GOUDA BITES - tater skins Portions were enough to make a second meal Everyone seemed to like the food - bbq was fair in flavor The staff was filling friendly might have been short 1 person - but we were not in a rush so it worked out - No pictures on this trip I eat my burgers with no bun so I really get to taste the meat and fixings read more

Owner has a serious attitude problem and at very best no customer service skills. He should always let the nice lady who bakes the banana bread do all customer related work and hide in the back. The food ok too. read more

Usually the service is good & friendly. Tonight I called to place an order, I asked what sides they have and the girl said "lots, we have a lot of sides" so I just said fries for both orders because she came off as very rude, lazy, and not helpful at all. I asked if I could add a side of cheese sauce and she said no, she doesn't know how to charge for it. When I got my orders home there were onions on mine which I had asked for no onions. We really like the food here but if this is the kind of service we are going to start receiving then we won't come here anymore. Service has gone down hill everywhere since covid and it gets old when you're paying $40+ for dinner. Service is just as important as the food imo. read more

Fabulous barbecue. I got the brisket lunch special with Carolina slaw - it was soooo good. Brisket was tender and flavorful and so many good sauces I couldn't decide which I liked best. The slaw was really yummy as well. My daughter got the pulled pork with their macaroni & cheese and loved it as well. I got to taste and totally agree! I was tempted to go back the next day it was that good. read more

Good food and great service. Been here twice and always have plenty to take home. They even made a custom grilled cheese sandwich for my niece who doesn't like meat ?!?!. Hope we can make it in early enough to get some Banana bread, so good and sells out quick. read more

Legit bbq. Blows notorious p.i.e.c.e of shit out of the water. Brisket was really good, sides were too. I lived for quite some time in arguably the best city in the world for bbq. This definitely ain't bad at all. Worth a quick drive from Missoula. read more

Best BBQ I've ever had in my life. It's a treat I share with only my closest friends and clients.

Great food and friendly staff. The brisket is as good as I have ever had. I'd highly recommend Moose Creek BBQ

Just left Moose Creek and tri-tip was fantastic. The green beans and slaw were excellent. Added a side of the deep-fried corn on the cob and the whole meal was worth every penny. Just the older gentleman and his son got our meal out quickly and piping hot. Will definitely be there again. read more

The food is okay , the cornbread is always burned !! My husband went in and ordered our food to go after almost a hour he went up and told the owner how much longer and the owner told him he did not order and was a liar and had never ordered or payed , my husband left and came home and cked the bank and got charged for food we never received ! Something seems wrong with the owner ! read more

Great food & excellent service. The fried green tomatoes were pretty good, a little salty but still delish. My Mac & cheese, Texas toast & fries were nowhere near the best I've ever had but my rib eye was awesome. Kicked Victor's Steakhouse's ribeye's A**!! The rest of my group was raving about the burger, the brisket & the ribs. The salad bar could use some work but our server was the happiest, nicest older lady serving us & made out experience awesome. read more

Smoked meats. For me it is a matter of taste and style. My wife and I do not care for smoked meats, but many do; so it your preference is richly smoked turkey, chicken, sausage, beef brisket and baby backed, short and rib ends this is your place. The menu offers sandwiches, plates and a whole section on serious catering, like for 100s of people down to family packages. Portions are HUGE. I ordered a two meat plate with potato salad and fried okra and three of us could have had trouble eating it all. Very generous. Prices appear a bit high, but are reasonable considering the portions. The stuffed pork loin with sausage was not pork loin wrapped around three sausages, rather than ground sausage rolled into it, which would have been more moist and flavorful than the dry relatively flavorless (other than the smoke). Pulled pork was excellent. Beef brisket was tender, but was just smoked meat. More time in the smoker and you would have had jerky. We begged a pork rib and it was also dry, smoked and had a nice rub on it. This not a fall off the bone kind of rib place. They offer 5 sauces, ranking from sweet to hot and including a mustard and a thin, but excellent hot sauce. I would prefer a moister meat, like Memphis or Kansas City style; however, if you like a good smoking, come to Moose Creek. read more

Stop them based off of yelp reviews and have the brisket lunch. The smoke brisket with great as nice Smokering flavor was wonderful and I have onion rings with it and they were very good also. The waitress was a wonderful lady treated me very nice. They have free Wi-Fi and it works very well. I will definitely be stopping again when I'm in Hamilton. read more

Had high hopes for this place in their new location. Unfortunately this is " cafeteria" barbecue. They claim four hours smoking time for the ribs. But there is no evidence of it. No smoky taste, and is anybody who's ever barbecued before, no smoke ring in the ribs. If you're looking for basic cafeteria barbecue you'll be happy. Especially with all the bright white fluorescent lights throughout. Was hoping for a lot more. This place delivered a lot less. read more

Six of us were here for lunch. They had homemade pork rinds as an appetizer, they were excellent. You do have to order at the counter and they bring it to your table. Brisket sandwich, pork bbq sandwich and the Texan was all excellent. Some items on the menu they were out of. The reason they were out was they were closing soon for the local fair and vacation. Which is understandable. We would definitely come back if back in the area. read more

Stopped in and was pleasantly surprised. The menu offered "All you can eat" Burnt Ends. They were perfectly smoked and melted in my mouth. I am definitely returning. The staff/owners were fantastic as well. read more

Moose Creek Barbecue - two trays of food on a table - Barbeque Near Me - Stevensville, Montana

favorite in Hamilton. We always order more to take home to Seattle. Service is friendly and bulk barbecue is only 15$ a pound.

Monday night, 6 pm and out of brisket and chicken. 2 staples of a barbecue restaurant. Smoked turkey was extremely juicy and full of flavor. Ribs were also good. Baked beans were assorted beans that were sweet and filling. Mac and cheese tasted a bit old. Corn bread and honey butter were great! Good food, just can't believe they ran out of some basics. Finally, the menu on the website is outdated. Only 1 side with each order and prices have gone up. I'll try this place again and hope they have their website updated and food ready to serve that is listed on the menu. read more

Loved all of the wide variety of sauces on the tables. Fun to try lots of different styles with one meal. And the best sign is that the meats were good enough without any sauce at all! BBQ beans were terrific and the vinegar-based slaw was great. My only complaint was that the cornbread was griddled (and ended up a tad black) and I would've liked it a lot more just warmed up. Excellent service, really nice lady working the day we ate. Maybe seems a bit pricey but it's hard sometimes for folks to see the hours (and hours and hours) put into smoked pork and brisket. read more

We stumbled across this place looking for a place that was open on the 4th of July and it was great! The service was so friendly and welcoming and the food was fantastic. I got the Trail Wreck, which was delicious, but I could only eat half because it was so big! The best part was the variety of sauces to try. Overall great place to eat. read more

I have given this place 4 stars because I need to try the other food on menu first.I was satisfied with my sandwich fry and drink meal for 10 bucks lunch.also the staff was not dressed with masks or using gloves.I didn't see anyone in the place wearing masks during the pandemic.my guess is it's not a big deal in the bitterroot and businesses do what they please.just a FYI for anyone wanting to dine there or take out and i along with others accept the outcome if sick?the place was clean.the food was hot.the owner who voices his ads on radio stations welcomed me to take a takeaway menu.decent people who run it. read more

After COVID I decided to get it to go. Went to new location and was very disappointed. Meat was very tough and frayed and dried out. Nothing moist or tender. And I was up all night very sick. This was in 2020. Went back 10 months later. Same thing. Toilet trips once again after tough meat. Not like what it was on 2nd Street in Hamilton. Sure not worth the big bucks you pay for a lousy meal! read more

So grateful to have good bbq in Stevi! They have a great menu and they are my favorite restaurant in town.

100% hands down best BBQ in western Montana! My wife and I love to eat here every time we are down in Hamilton. The sweet potato fries are amazing. The brisket? Tender and moist. Tri tip is good and the chicken is amazing. Can't go wrong. Price is right, lots of selection, and lots of flavors. Check it out read more

I'm from Texas, and was very pleasantly surprised to find such good barbeque in Hamilton. The brisket, pulled pork and chicken were lean, flavorful and tender. The sides, particularly the fried green beans were crispy and delicious. There are a variety of sauces for every taste. The staff is helpful and very friendly. You should go if you have not been there to check it out. read more

This is my first time visiting montana with my boyfriend. We went here on Christmas Eve and it was actually very impressive :) huge meal portions, cute variety of bbq sauces.
