This place is 5 stars because of Totti! While her regular gig may be as a school teacher, she has the level of service and hospitality of someone who has been doing this forever. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit, and Totti was a huge part of that. It's rare these days to leave a restaurant feeling like the employees actually made your day a little better, but Totti does exactly that. Her smile, positive attitude, and genuine joy in what she does are contagious. The food was pretty good too, but honestly, it was Totti's personality and exceptional service that made this visit memorable. She's a true asset to the restaurant and deserves to be recognized for the experience she creates for her guests! read more

Great service! Our server was a whole vibe and we loved it. He was great at giving us recommendations on the menu and it definitely made our dining experience great. The food was good but thought the beer was better - super cold and crisp. Our server was also running the music and we were singing the entire time Saw someone who ordered the Mac n' Cheese when we walked in and it looked great but was a bit too think in texture for my liking. The burger was probably our favorite and the fries were also great read more

A burger joint with banging brussel sprouts, oh and I can't forget a banging burger .. look no further! Located in the heart of downtown Bozeman, Backcountry is serving up fresh burgers on house made buns. The establishment gives off rustic country vibes which adds to the homey feel. I went with the bison burger and with the suggestion of my server opted for brussel sprouts instead of fries. Simply put, the food was flavorful. The bison of course fresh being in Montana. However, it was the brussel sprouts which took me by surprise. Cooked to perfection, along with the sweet & tangy sauce, they're a hit! Salute to Backcountry Burger for the good grub and vibes. Give this a place a try if you're in the Bozeman area looking for a great burger. read more

Great place in the downtown area of Bozeman. The place was busy and initially we were told it would take 30 min to be seated but a spot opened up quickly so that was kind of cool. I loved the decor inside; everything had a cowboy rancher feel and it made me, as a tourist, feel like I was experiencing something local and cherished. The food was good. I was warned the inside of my burger might be cold when I ordered the Marias burger medium rare, but it wasn't at all. It was perfectly done. It was my first time having a bison burger too, and it was delicious. Cheddar cheese was a great choice to pair with this burger. It was a filling meal and I felt quite satisfied with it. The only reason there are four stars and not five is because there was no option to order a burger along with fries. Everything was "a la carte," as it were, which meant if I wanted fries I had to order them separate. My friend and I split our fries. They were good but it just seemed odd not to offer fries as part of the meal package when most people will want them as a side anyway. Otherwise, great place. If I'm back in Bozeman I'll be sure to stop by, once again. read more

Good burgers! Got it to go so unsure of the dining service. Only complaint is that the side is not included, so it was an additional cost to get fries, etc. read more

One of the best burgers I've ever eaten! My husband agreed! The burgers at backcountry are so flavorful and the toppings compliment them so well. I've also never been to a burger place that makes their own buns, they were so light and airy! We also tried the fries and cheese bites, amazing! We will definitely be back when we visit Bozeman again. read more

Good burgers, beer, fries and staff. I really like a burger that's not 3/4 of a pound and falling apart. This was a solid 1/4 with a bun and everything was edible. I got the backcountry and date got the one with jalapeño and cream cheese and we split fries as we weren't over hungry. We were both satisfied and happy. read more

I was hesitant about the Calamity Jane because of the cream cheese, but our server convinced me to try it and I'm glad i did! The burger was absolutely delicious and one of the best I have ever gotten out. Similarly to other reviews, the cheese curds are a bit skimpy for the price, but taste delicious and worth the splurge. Also, the brussel sprouts were delicious and perfectly flavored. read more

I come here frequently because they are Celiac safe (thank you). My burger was cooked well, but the GF bun was cold and the bottom bun was super greasy on the underside . The fries were cold and clammy. So, I waited for someone to check on me and ask how my food was. That never happened despite it being obvious that I was not eating any of it. Eventually (24 minutes) the waitress brought the bill and a to go box without any concern about the food Or my experience. It is time to find a new favorite burger place. read more

Highly recommended. Great fried cheese curds and burgers. Curds are as good as anywhere you can get them in Montana. Plan ahead - can be a bit of a wait if you go there on a busy weekend. read more

The food here was phenomenal! I particularly enjoyed the cheese curds. It tasted like the ones I loved from Wisconsin!! The service was great. Our waitress came by enough, but didn't feel like she was hovering. The restaurant is pretty casual. read more

Great burgers and sides in a warm friendly atmosphere. Fried chicken sandwich was sensational, and spicy! read more

Service was great. Food was okay - didn't quite hit the spot. We each ordered a burger and shared a kale Caesar salad. The Stillwater (veggie) burger was falling apart with each bite and I was hoping the Backcountry Burger would be more flavorful. Despite the food being mid they have a nice selection of beers and I was glad to see several sour options available. read more

Staff is nice and flavors were ok. Problem is that the burgers are just too small. The bun was and toppings were acceptable but there was hardly any burger. The chicken sandwich that my partner got was huge by comparison. 50% more meat at a minimum is required in my estimation read more

The food is fantastic! The staff were really good. I've been visiting Bozeman for about four days now and I myself am a bit of a burger connoisseur. I've had four burgers at different restaurants in Bozeman so far and they've all been fine, but this one was well crafted and dare I say exceptional, and for what it is, the price is very reasonable. Ambience is cool too. Classical rootsy building but they've definitely done some updating to help it feel at least late 20th century. read more

Great burgers and service. Prices are great and the place has a good atmosphere. Will be back again!

This place was dee-lish! I got the French Onion soup and the burger. The service was fast and friendly. The French Onion soup was very tasty and the Parmesan was crusted on the side of the bowl just the way like. read more

Backcountry Burger Bar - Drinks and food menu as of Jan 3 2023 - New American Near Me - Bozeman, Montana

It started off great, manager was super friendly at first. Chloe our waitress was not attentive. We have different food allergies in the group and when asking questions about the menu, Chloe responded with attitude and rude manner. When we asked for dressing she gave an attitude and my husband asked for bbq sauce that was supposed to be in the burger, it never came. I stood up to ask for the bill. When Chloe was about to hand me the bill, she let me know "With Parties of 8 or more you are required to leave a 20% tip". It took me aback, and suddenly it all made sense. We received horrible service but it didn't matter to Chloe because in her mind "I am required to tip her". We were ignored and ran out of water, we asked for more and it never came. Yes, we ate our food because we are not wasteful. We did receive plenty of eye rolls and attitude from the manager and Chloe. I understand that we had 10 in our party but 4 of our plates came out WAY before the other 6. The food was dry. At the end, the manager was rude and I was done. read more

Great place to grab a burger and fries. Service was welcoming and helpful! Relaxed feel. Their burgers are light and fresh! I love how buttery and soft their buns are. Perfect serving size. Their Brussels sprouts had a spicy Asian taste so yummy along with a refreshing kombucha . read more

The staff was super-friendly, I like that it's all booths (minus the large-party tables, because I like the privacy/comfort of a booth. The burger (I got the Marias) was great...perfectly cooked, the toppings were plentiful but I could still fit it in my mouth, just delicious. (Best burger I've had in Bozeman thus far methinks.) I got the house fries...they're very yummy and don't need any sauce! But I did get the garlic Parmesan sauce and it made the fries taste like garlic fries without the up charge! (Tip: lightly drag a fry through it at first to test how much you want to use...don't just do a big dip. It's strong!) This is my new go-to for a burger craving. read more

Not great service, server wasn't very friendly and seemed annoyed of our presence during lunch time. Food was okay, burgers weren't special and temperatures were pre decided, also fries or any sides are extra. French onion soup was very good. No full bar just beers, ciders, ect. or non alcoholic. Actual restaurant was nice and clean read more

You wouldn't think to get French onion soup in a burger bar, but it was really good. And such a unique concept to have build your own Mac n cheese. There's a variety of topping choices. I went with bacon and spinach which was a great compliment to the creaminess of the cheese sauce. The twirl of the noodles also helped hold the toppings on each bite. We chose to have bison as our patty rather than beef and were very pleased. The burger choices are very creative. My Calamity Jane combined bacon, jalapeño jelly and scallion cream cheese. The flavor combination was incredible. My husband had the Trapper. It was basically a mushroom Swiss burger with upgraded cheese and GRAVY. Way to take it up a notch!! They also have a great selection of beers and other alcoholic drinks. read more

Grabbed food here before heading out to Yellowstone for the week and it definitely hit the spot. It was a little crowded but the service was still really attentive. If you are looking for an appetizer, don't sleep on the brussel sprouts. They have a delicious sauce. The buns are definitely homemade so that was a nice surprise and the French Fries are incredibly crispy. I wouldn't have wanted them any other way. read more

Me loves a big, greasy burger, and I say greasy in the best of ways, with love. Who wants a dry burger? No one. Grease is good when it comes to burgers, and Backcountry not only gave me a big, juicy burger, but also so much flavor and onion strings to boot. Also lots of napkins which were needed. Yum. read more

A great burger in Bozeman. Great service right when I walked in. I ordered the white porter. Never heard of that before buts it's a light looking beer that has bite like a coffee porter. Recommended by the staff and it was a great choice. I started with the curry fries which again I have never had but had great flavor. I then tried the wildfire burger and it came out looking plain but then BAM the damn thing had awesome flavor. I didn't leave a scrap of anything on this plate. I would definately come back. Best burger I have had in Bozeman so far! I can't forget McKenzie was fantastic behind the bar and gave me all the recommendations I ordered tonight. read more

We came in after a long day of travel from MD and we visit Bozeman often as my daughter lives here. Our first time trying back country. We had cheese curds they were good. We had a house salad with blue cheese the salad was good but as someone who loves blue cheese dressing it was possibly the worst I've had. We had the bison burger and it was delicious! We also had Mac and cheese and it was not good. It was watery and just flavorless honestly and we all tried it and all agreed just not at all worth the calories. But being southerners maybe our standards are high lol wouldn't order again but would definitely come back here. We also had onion soup and that was also delicious. The bar was nice and open and the staff was very friendly and service was fast! Also loved the beers we tried. All and all I would recommend! read more

Tasty Cheese Curds, But Where's the Rest? Stopped by to try their cheese curds, and while they were crispy, gooey, and full of flavor, the portion size was a joke. For the price, I expected more than a handful of curds. Don't get me wrong, they were good--perfectly fried with a nice crunch and just the right amount of cheese pull. But if you're sharing, be ready to fight over the last one. Honestly, I left still hungry and a little disappointed. If you're all about quality over quantity, you'll love them. But if you're looking for a hearty serving of curds, this isn't the spot. Yes I know it's not called Backcountry cheese curds bar. read more

MUST TRY! Features Montana beef, locally sourced food. My go to menu item is the fried chicken sandwich. Lawd have mercy it's good! I like a lot of things about this place, but my favorite has to be the friendly, hard working staff. Our waitress gave us suggestions, joked along with us, and was an absolute joy the entire visit. Will definitely be back! read more

Some of the best burgers! The buns are made there and are the perfect amount of bread to burger. The burgers were amazing, loved the Calamity Jane. The fries reminded me of fair fries. We didn't care for the garlic parm sauce, but it was on the side so we still ate all the fries. And finally, very reasonably priced. All around would recommend. read more

The bison burger was delicious. I had the onion rings, not like I have ever had before. Very thin strips. Very yummy. Service was good too.
