    Chicken strips meal
    Nycole R.

    My dining partner was excited to visit to get a jalapeno burger that he'd had on a previous visit. I'm not typically a fan of loud bars for food-the ambience is overwhelming and it's hard to carry on conversation. But it wasn't too terrible during the day. I ordered some chicken fingers and fries-they were fine. Not anything amazing, but they got the job done. Service was a little distracted-we might not have been the typical younger crowd that they are used to serving.

    Service was awesome. Food and drinks were good. Way better than Burger Bobs..............................

    Food was great, service was amazing and bingo was a great time! If you're visiting this is a fun stop with no hiking involved.

    Ok, it's a college sports restaurant/bar so keep that in mind. But because of that....the breakfast sandwiches are to die for. This place is a local tradition that was rebuilt after a fire roughly 10 years ago. It will always live on because of the tradition. I thought the service was friendly and quick. I had one of the amazing breakfast sandwiches. It was to die for!!! I'm glad I came back for breakfast.

    Before we left for our trip to Bozeman, a friend at home told us about the Rocking R Bar. She said we absolutely HAD to go. When we finally did arrive in Bozeman, I looked the Rocking R up and saw it was 15 miles from our Air BNB. I texted my friend and asked her if it was REALLY worth the drive and she assured me it was. Ok then, I guess we had no choice but to have dinner at the Rocking R Bar. When we walked in, we were immediately greeted and told to sit anywhere we wanted. We picked a high-top near the bar - it had good views of the many TVs above it. We were quickly handed an extensive drink menu (really a drink menu book) and our waitress, Haley, went over some of the features including their $10 flight promotions. (4 4oz pours and then a pint of your favorite), the happy hour specials (beer specials, $5 martinis, $7 mixed drinks, 5-7 weekdays) and finally the shot specials ($3 and $5). Other drink specials were posted around the walls so I asked about the $10 "tank". Turns out it is only available on Thursday. This was Wednesday. Bummer. We were given a food menu which was heavy on burgers and sandwiches but had some interesting looking apps and a few salads listed too - definitely not the place for a vegan. I ordered the aloha burger. It was one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. A weird combination that worked - the fresh patty (I asked for medium well but it was definitely medium, no biggie) topped with grilled pineapple slices, crispy thick cut bacon and jalapeño cream cheese. (It may have had pepper jelly too but I can't remember - a little too many martinis may have clouded my memory a little.) Oh my gosh was this burger good. If you plan on ordering this though, don't wear anything you don't want to get food on - this was one messy burger. House cut shoestring fries rounded out my meal. The mound of fries, served with a side of ranch, were awesome. My husband ordered the elk burger. Haley told us that the elk meat comes from a local farm. He enjoyed it - it was a little gamey but he expected that. (His medium burger was definitely on the rare side). He ordered the side salad which contained spring mix with a decent handful of salad veggies on top. Because our food came out at the same as our flight, he didn't order his pint until we were through eating. Since I wasn't the driver, I opted to try the happy hour martinis instead. I started with the PAMA, moved to the purple haze and finally finished with another PAMA. This sounds like a lot, and it could have been, but the first two drinks were only 2/3 full. If you pull out your 9th grade geometry hat and think about the shape of a martini glass, they were almost just like large shots. Even so, they were good. The bar got more crowded as the evening progressed. It was country night which didn't start until 9:30. We got up at 3:15 to catch our flight that morning, 9:30 just wouldn't be happening for us. There was country music playing but it wasn't so loud as to make conversation difficult. We found parking out front but I'm not sure where you'd park - I'd give myself a little time for parking if you are on any type of schedule. Our final check was just over $60, which considering all we had, I thought was pretty reasonable. We'll be back in Bozeman next Thursday. It just may be "tank" night for me!

    Fun bar in Bozeman! This is the place to watch the game, grab a beer, and have a bite to eat.

    Went for a "Night Before the Wedding"event and they served Mexican food from an attached business (or same, not sure) that was delicious. The manager (or one of the workers, again not sure) was very attentive and helped us find chairs to sit. Cool "rocking" place that night anyways. Would go again, when back in Bozeman.

    Food was delicious and atmosphere has that hip trendy kind of feel. This would be a great place for a date or catching drinks after work with a coworker. I got the golden rum punch and the Madonna and both were delicious. More than just your typical bar food, the Madonna had grilled chicken, Apple, brie, arugula, bacon and a special jam. Unique menu.

    Really relaxed atmosphere with a lot of locals. Their beers were all really delicious i enjoyed the…read moresummer light and the Mexican and of course the octoberfest. Great service very friendly staff that know how to make amazing beer

    Stop 3 of 8 on our Montana Hundreds of Hops self-guided US Hop Passport Brewery Tour Amazing…read moreBrewery Race 2025 I will say these guys had a lot of space & a lot to choose from, along with quite the theme going. We went up & ordered right away. This (our 3rd stop in Montana) was the 1st place to hand us the 3 stamp card. We, not being from Montana, looked at it as if he'd handed us a random appendage from his body, no doubt. All we were trying to do was pay for our drink - ha. His explanation was "that's our tab, if you decide you want another, bring the card up." We tried to explain that we didn't want another. We were only having one & we'd like to pay. He told us to hold on to the card & pay after we were done. We went out back to the permanent food truck and ordered Kels kryptonite, the pretzel & a chicken & Belgian waffle w/ hot honey. It took about 20min. While we waited, we sipped our beer and flipped these cards over looking for clues... then we took to Google... then we spied on other people. Maybe we would have enjoyed the beer more if we knew what these cards were for and what the heck we were supposed to do with them! Fossil Fuel IPA scored a 3.25 from Kel n/a from me The Capone Oatmeal Stout a 3.5 from Kel 3.25 me Both on the average side with no major knocks or stand outs for features. The food was fresh & tasty - we wrapped up & went inside. We were asked for our cards, our book was stamped, we paid for 1 beer & went out still lost... At our NEXT stop, the barkeep explained that by Montana law, there's a 3 pour limit & a lot of larger places uses cards to track pours (aha!) & a strict 8pm cut off for taps - which we came waaay too close to!
