how can anyone rate this place a 4 since Bernie is no longer bartending? The bartenders now are horrible. One is sexist, rude and arrogant and mixes a horrible drink. The parking lot is dirty, too many intoxicated people, restaurant is fair. go to engstroms. I would never go to testy festy, loud, vulgar, etc. A stain on the community read more

The bartender has a positive attitude and his glass half full. Spin cycle is always on! Mike's a real company man, and a real go-getter. The beer was cold enough and he's getting us extra fries. The bathrooms worked fine, so there's that. Try the testes and let me a know how they are. read more

Rock Creek Lodge - This is Mike. - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Clinton, Montana

I had a buddy that had a liking for free thinkers and exhibitionists. Our small group of friends made the annual summertime migration to the middle-of-nowhere Montana for the weekend of very little inhibitions, gnarly bikers, retired dentists and mayoral candidates. You cant anticipate what you will experience during the delightful testicle festival weekender in August. You havent lived life until you've camped for the weekend and enjoyed a gathering of open mined folks! When i say open minded I dont mean gay sex or guns & dope, I mean this wacky weekend is one of the most eclectic gatherings of people in the Northwest. Hippies, businessmen, strippers, college kids, Buddhists, nudists, you name it and theres a group of them at this party. I attended for three years in succession from 2008-2011ish. Im not gonna lie, as the memories are a bit blurry. The Lodge: a dive bar of epic size, its attached to a kitchen, gift shop, casino machines and whatever else you could imagine. During the week its damn near empty, theres a few patrons and thats about it. During the testyfest weekend the bar is standing room only. The joint is old, rustic biker/motor lodge. It looks a bit sketchy but its just Montana--well weathered and of sturdy build! The food: BALLS! This place is well-known for its ample heaping of sliced, breaded bulls nuts. They serve them deep fried with a side of cocktail sauce for dipping. I'd be lying if I said I hadnt tried the nuts, they taste a lot like chicken gizzards--theres a "chew" that never lets you forget what you have managed to put inside your mouth. Tasty bits of love! The camping during the TestyFest: The earlier the better if you want select camp sites close walking distance to the party area. If you happen to roll in the day before the party starts (ie; thursday) the preferred spots will have been consumed by the regulars and people knowing how lousy that walk is while heavily intoxicated or sleepy :) The separate camping area is a connected to an air field and its across the road and its a trek for the fatter folks! The sites are unmarked, its pretty much you come into the field and park your vehicle and your space is what you carve out for yourself--being mindful that the camp area becomes well populated on Friday & Saturday nights. I packed in bottled water, and toiletries as the sh**houses are intense after a Friday night traffic jam. Its loud, its a big ass block party--dont bring children, no animals, etc. The entertainment: Lots of people watching occurs during the festival. A fair amount of nudity occurs and frankly used to be encouraged along with public viewing pleasures for those inclined to witness. Nowadays the new bar owner and organizer tries to keep the public sexytime on the downlow. read more

I went here over a decade ago with my uncle on a fly fishing trip. In 1999, I regretted not buying a Testicle Festival mesh tank top, and I knew one day I would need to return. In May of 2012 I returned to purchase that tank top and eat a lunch with friends. The Rock Creek Lodge consists of a bar, a restaurant and a huge gift shop. We all drank draft beer with our meal as we ordered mostly fried foods. I had chicken strips, a tall boy of PBR and some Rocky Mountain Oysters. This place is a greasy spoon, but it's done well and with a smile. Bull nuts are good, but chewy and there are several hundred gift shop items to be purchased to commemorate your experiences. 13 years later I bought my tank top of a bull holding its crotch and ate some testicles. I can die happy. read more

Home of the Rock Creek Testicle Festival. While I've not been too the festival I've eaten their rocky mountain oysters on several occasions. Think of a slightly gamey fried scallop. Eaten with Hot Sauce and Beer what could be bad! This place is all about the nut. All sorts of Cow related souvenir's from canteens, to Christmas ornaments all made from Cow Scrotum. Buy your frozen Balls by the pound and take them home and fry'em. Yum! If you're driving to Missoula on I-90 stop and take a gander... read more

Stopped to use the restroom and have a quick drink all restrooms were "out of order" needless to say didn't stick around for the drink. Bartender wasn't very welcoming. And there was a man outside attempting to go back into the bar and could barely walk read more

luckiest day of my life. driving through montana, low on gas, 'hey lets pull over here.' we get gas and someone sees an old piece of junk with a sign for home of testie fest, or something like that. so we drive a second away to this little diner gift shop bar shack. very country, very woodsman vibe, lots of local looking folk just sitting around, what else you gonna do in west montana? so i'm excited to eat balls! and we go in the diner part, only one other guy was willing to try them so i order a small basket of them. they come out quick enough and are served sliced, battered and fried with a side of cocktail sauce. we go outside and sit on the stage, where they have the festival, and put our lips around some deep fried balls. and they're pretty good! mostly taste like fried, but have a meatie taste that was pleasant. the cocktail sauce was a good match too. http://www.testyfesty.com/ read more

This place is a joke! Disgusting food, disgusting servers and bar staff! I would never return here again. We were treated so rudely during our three day stay on the property. The garbage they call food is beyond belief. They charge $8.00 for a burger and you get a pattie and a bun, that's all... Then they charge additionally for ketchup!! Ketchup? Really guys? The garbage cans...overflowing. The toilets....overflowing. The staff? Disrespectful, flat out threateningly rude to the point of unbelief. If this place burned to the ground it would be a blessing for the rest of the area, which other than this place is really beautiful. What a shame. read more

Rocky Mountain Oysters, Testicle Festival... LOVE this place (great hand cut fries!!)

If I could give Red Creek Lodge a '0' star review I would. After playing at the music festival held this last weekend, I am amazed at the harshbratality the musicians and the attendees received from the owners and management. Highlights included beer and alcohol being confiscated from people and then sold back to them at the bar, port-o-potties overflowing by Sunday morning, and having the bathrooms in the bar locked and zip tied shut with bar patrons being redirected to the port-o-potties despite being paying customers. Oh I almost forgot...to increase their confiscated alcohol to stock their bar, they also claimed rights to public property. Cheers! read more

Mike is truly a delight. His sparkling personality and fry cooking skills are unmatched in bars around these parts. He welcomes you with open arms and cold drinks. Challenge him to a game of Darts. He loves Darts but he isn't as good as he thinks he is. read more

I don't know who pissed in someone's Wheaties... But I can't remember the last time I saw a business treat it's customers so poorly. They were rude, disrespectful, ignorant, ungrateful, and just plain mean. I don't know what happened, or who they were pissed off at. All I know is, I bought a ticket to attend a music festival there, I behaved, did not make any kind of a mess, and followed their rules, and in return, I was WRONGLY accused of stealing a bottle of water that I had already paid for AND gave a dollar tip for the privelage... and in general, I WAS TREATED LIKE GARBAGE. I talked to a local resident in Missoula, and was told that they have a pretty widely accepted reputation of being bullies, trouble makers, ass holes... read more
