Most legit Memphis BBQ I ever did have! ...not that I know what that is prior to this, but I know delicious when I taste it. Anybody passing through should come here! Run by the sweetest and friendliest couple we've met on our journey to the rockies, the Silver Gate BBQ is a special spot because it's *not* a fancy sit down restaurant with permanent furniture. It's not even a quaint cafe out in the wilderness. What it is is two genuine folks, oozing with love for their food and home, cooking up a storm in a bear-proof stall that's in their front yard with lawn chairs as seating on the side...and it's one of the most memorable things we encountered on the trip. Going by the google maps location got us to where they're situated; you'll likely pass by them if you're driving in/out of Silvergate anyway, but as you're coming out it's right at the edge of town before you hit all the other buildings on the left. Just look for that bright yellow trailer! The husband gave us some grand advice to take a look at the Beartooth Highway since we were out in this direction, which given how scenic that drive is I can absolutely vouch for that it was a great decision to embark on. Not something you'd get coming from all the other food spots we've been to, but it's just generally wholesome hearing about the area from the couple here that they both know so well. In terms of food offerings the BBQ is legit good, with only one kind of BBQ sauce that I swear beats out most places I've been to anywhere, let alone just Yellowstone. Excellently balanced sweetness, heat, and acidity. We ordered from them several times since it was just such a delight. ==Triple Delight - 5/5 Layered up pulled pork, BBQ sauce, baked beans, with slaw and some texas toast on the side. It was pretty damn amazing, and I don't say that lightly. The slaw was a lovely fresh mince, diced quite finely with a lightly sweetened touch. The bean/sauce/pork combo was decadent goodness and the toast was perfectly toasted with just enough butter. ==Elk Brat - 5/5 Simple but glorious, spiced and seasoned heavily but not as heavy on the gaminess as I expected. Recommended to dip in with some BBQ sauce on the side and it was perfect just with that. Since they knew we were splitting it up they even cut up the brat for us and brought it out really fast to keep it piping hot. I'm pretty sure we got an additional Keto Bison Plate, but I forgot to take a picture of it since we were on the move and it was just too easy to pile into the deliciousness. We also bought some huckleberry preserves I noticed didn't have any corn syrup in it; turns out they're just selling it at cost since they know the dude who makes it and they like it! Did I mention how sweet they are yet? read more
