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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Fantastic experience. The food and the service were excellent. Chicken sandwich were hi lights. Parking may take a few minutes in busy weekends. Will come again when in town. 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

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

We ordered three different burgers. All three were tasty. One was vegan and it was good as well. Our server was friendly and gave prompt service. 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.

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

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

Great food. It was a little busy at 8pm on a Tuesday evening. We got seated fairly quick, server was attentive and good came out quick. They have a nice selection of Craft Beers. We had a Marias Burger which was a Bison burger, it was awesome and a Backcountry Burger which was also great. The fries were great, especially with the Backcountry Sauce. Definitely would go back. Parking can be hard when Main St is busy but we found a spot on the street fairly easy. read more

The food is good but you have to order sides separately from your meal which costs extra money or else you just have a plain meal.

I got the daily burger. Delicious food. I love the vibes of the restaurant. Great place to hangout with friends and family. The service was amazing I highly recommended this location. read more

The service was fantastic, friendly, helpful and check in on us frequently without being annoying. The restaurant ambiance was what you'd expect of a burger joint - booths and tables. The food was great but as a previous reviewer stated the cheese curds were very small in portion for the price of them. We each had salads that were good with different patties that were also tasty. If in area again would definitely go back. read more

Passing through, we needed to grab some dinner before getting out in to the sticks and decided a burger sounded great. We'd been doing a lot of hiking and exploring the days prior and could use a proper dinner. I ordered their daily special burger and a side of the haystack onion rings. The food was REALLY good, but I could have finished two of those burgers no problem. A few hours later, I got in to our arsenal of road food and made a tuna sandwich. Aside from that, the flavors were amazing and I do recommend this place for a tasty treat. read more

Food is good great flavor etc but the place is very noisy as the sound has nowhere to go and hard to have a conversation service was also good read more

This was recommended as the best burger joint in Bozeman and burger wise I would definitely have to agree!! Our family came in and had practically every burger on the menu! The wildfire, calamity Jane, double backcountry, and Maria's burger were scattered across our table and all incredibly juicy and delicious! I ordered the Maria's burger and skeptical about the BBQ since I'm a solid ketchup and mustard only type of girl but the bison burger with the bbq was just *chef kiss* perfect. It hit the spot and paired with a basket of fries with garlic Parmesan dip? My mouth is watering just thinking about it! For having such a large group, we were seated quickly but the only downside was our server was super inattentive. He screwed up all of our tabs even after explaining twice but I think he may also have been the bartender? Overall great meal and great time! read more

My daughter and I tried to eat a meal at Backcountry Burger Bar. I ordered the brussels sprouts and when they arrived, I bit into them and they were absolutely some of the most painfully spicy brussels sprouts I've ever tasted. There was nothing on the menu to indicate that this was a spicy dish--sometimes restaurants will put a chili pepper or something next to the item to indicate that it's a very, very spicy dish, but that was not the case here. When I asked the waiter if I could send them back and get something else, they took it away, and then the waiter came back and said that the manager would not allow me to be refunded for the item that was essentially inedible. I found that a really really obnoxious attitude and very poor service for any restaurant, so I wanted to come up here and and let people know that they do not care about their customers. They do not care about good service. They don't care about basic kindness and doing the right thing when you've given somebody a dish that is painful and burning their mouth and inedible and you don't acknowledge that and make it right. 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

A group of 8 of us have been vacationing at Big Sky Resort and have been having the worst customer service at Big Sky. We decided to take a day trip to Bozeman and this was our first stop of the day. BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE we have gotten on our week long trip!!! Our server Lucas was amazing!!! From the service, the food, to the atmosphere.... Phenomenal! Lucas knows how to serve his customers and was very knowledgeable in the drinks and food. This man deserves a raise as he was the man of the show. Thank you Lucas! read more

Good quality burgers but the quantity is lacking The ambience was nice, server friendly and for me the music was spot on The Maria bison burger unfortunately was nothing unique but it was good. Was hoping for a different and special taste but no dice. The electric chicken sandwich was good but leave the sauce on the side, it's not Nashville hot sauce, it's more of a hot spicy chipotle, not my favorite. The poutine is where things really went wrong, I have had authentic poutine in Montreal and this was not it. Some basic fries, same as the normal order fries with a small amount of gravy and yes we counted them 9 cheese curds. I would skip this one and just opt for the normal fries which are basically the same thing. The kids burgers were just about the same size as the normal burgers which was nice but just like the other sandwiches none of the entrees come with fries so you are paying $14 for a kids meal without a drink. read more
