Mediocre. Don't get me wrong--the people here are lovely, but the food is not that good. The duck-with-poached-pear was dry. The portabella sandwich wrap was goopy to the point of having a disgusting, disintegrating wrap. I seem to recall my experience the years prior (I come to Billings pretty much every year) was much better. But? It still gets three stars. Why? Because it's still the best choice you have in town. Who knows how they'll have improved (or not?) in a year from now. read more

The service was wonderful as was the atmosphere. The food was good but not great. The prices were high, I paid the same amount for a "tapas" plate of scampi that I did for a whole order in Hawaii and it was no where near as good. read more

Bin 119 - Scampi small plate - New American Near Me - Billings, Montana

I think the service was slow but with a smile. I ordered a pull pork sandwich which i would rate average. I ate outside nice temperature today so it was excellent read more

Such a cozy atmosphere! Great date night place. Had a great appetizer and wine flight. This place has some staple food such as steaks and then dresses up some classics like chicken Florentine with candied walnuts. On par with other places like it for price, but the subtle atmosphere and vast wine and beer selection make it exceptional. We will for sure go back again! read more

Bin 119 - New American Near Me - Billings, Montana

Relatively new to town so I am randomly checking out places, and I'll preface this by saying that I expect a restaurant to serve me a better version of food than I can get at home, and my husband is a pretty damn good cook. Hence lunch today at Bin 119 was very disappointing the soda was flat, the fresh made potato chips were stale and the panini was made with some store bought pre-packaged flatbread that wasn't even toasted! Overall the sandwich was edible, but bland and not enjoyable. Definitely won't return. read more

Honey roasted pork belly: Server had actually described it to be sorta like bacon, so I assumed it would be a piece of fatty-deliciousness. The pork belly was tasty, but I found it to be a little dry. Kinda wished the belly was fattier. I'm not really a polenta person, but this one was alright. It was a good size portion. Even though it's on the tapas menu, it can also serve as an entree. Creme brulee: I enjoyed it, but I wished it was bigger. There were only four thinly sliced pieces of strawberry. Sidenote: I ordered both of these to-go so that may have affected portion size/taste. It took about 20 minutes for the food to be ready. Nonetheless, I was satisfied. read more

Bin 119 - corned beef & cabbage - New American Near Me - Billings, Montana

Had a great meal in a classy restaurant for a great price! - $10 bin burger: juicy, flavorful, bun toasted just right. Amazing deal for great burger - crab cakes: lots of crab meat, not much filler. True what other yelpers say: coconut curry sauce is more sweet than curry, but goes well w/the crab - this place is known for the wine, but the beer on draft was good! Had the IPA & Glacier Altbeir both from Red Lodge, MT. Would totally drink those again - creme brûlée: get it! So good! I'm SUPER picky about my creme brûlée & have been to many Michelin star rated restaurants that have failed on this. I was impressed... To the point where I thought it was worth my time to write this review. The creme is rich, vanilla & creamy. The brûlée was thick (as it should be) w/the best crackle- that's how I judge my creme brûlée- by the crackle as my spoon breaks through the sugar coating. It has to be hard, crunchy & carmelized. Anything softer is no good. Also, service superb & atmosphere clean, warm & comfy. I had an all-around great meal & left happy & full. Will totally be back. Will totally have the creme brûlée again! read more

Bin 119 - Creme brûlée: perfect! made just right: rich creme w/crunchy sugar topping. Get this. U won't regret it. Would come back just for this! - New American Near Me - Billings, Montana

Cool restaurant. Ambience is classy and not too loud. Bar on one side and the restaurant along the other going to the back. My waitress was great and attentive. I had a glass of chardonnay ($6.25, okay) and the house fish special, filet of salmon broiled. Was very good and fresh tasting. on a bed of broccoli. Great location right in the heart of downtown so easy to get to and lots places around if one wishes to bar hop. read more

Yes, please! We were on our way to another restaurant in the area and noticed Bin 119 and it's outdoor seating. After deciding the other place was not what we were looking for, we walked back. Cool look inside. Our server was awesome (lived in Hawaii). Nice wine list, good selection of food, and more importantly GREAT tasting food! My petit filet was perfect and I was able to modify the plate a little bit without a problem. Perfect pacing of food. This place belongs in L.A. I would definitely recommend it for a date night! read more

Enjoying good food with a good friend and the family! Nice atmosphere and good service. Check in for there wine selection. And the crab cakes are to die for. read more

Bin 119 serves brunch until 2 on Sunday which is always a big hit! We sat outside on their back patio which was so adorable! I got the stuffed French toast and I ate every bit of it. I hear they make good drinks but I have yet to try one. Maybe next time! read more

Bin 119 - New American Near Me - Billings, Montana

We were in Billings for a couple days on our trip through Montana and stopped at this spot for dinner. It was a nice little find. We sat at the bar and it was equally as enjoyable at sitting at any table. Special props to the bartender/server Jeff who was running the show that night. We shared the pork belly and then I had the halibut while my husband had the crispy duck. Pork Belly and the Halibut were the standouts - the duck wasn't as crispy as we expected but we both licked our plates clean. We also sampled all the local brews they had in house - which was great. During our dinner we spotted a middle-aged couple making out in the back of the restaurant - which not only made us laugh or guess if they just met on tinder - but being newlyweds - also hopeful that we would still be that into each other in 20 years. Atmosphere was cozy and classy - worth a stop-in if you are in town. read more

I really like the food and wine but the waitress who was suppose to be working came to take our order and the person I was with was on the phone so instead of asking she said I'll just wait till he's off the phone. Never came back and told others at the bar that if people want to order to get off the f-ing phone. So to to owners, please work with your bar staff to treat all people with dignity and respect. read more

Came for brunch on a Sunday afternoon. Hardly anyone there but cozy environment. Ordered brunch- salmon and eggs. They were accommodating to swap the English muffin and tomatoes for some greens (I'm allergic to both). Food was great but small portions. Think a cup of fruit or a bit more portion would have been good. I'm not a huge eater, more of a grazer all day, but I left feeling a bit hungry still. Overall I would go back. Great environment I'd like to experience for dinner. Good style blend of Montana meets modern. read more

Bin 119 - Cute decor - New American Near Me - Billings, Montana

This is one of our favorite places to go eat! The atmosphere is nice, and food good. You're able to order fine dining or just an appetizer or sandwich. However, one of my favorites was the portabella mushroom burger, which is no longer on the menu. I'm hoping it has something to do with the time of year. My husband always has loved the Bin Burger, but it has been changed, so he ordered the cheeseburger. He was disappointed. The flavor was still good, but the bottom bun was too soggy to eat. Our friends had the sirloin and loved it. I'm hoping next time we go that my rating is 5 stars, but we will return! read more

Good lunch spot. We sat at the high tops by the bar and it was just fine for our meal. Service was pretty quick which was nice, but the portions were small -- and the side of chips that we got with our sandwich was a little smaller then I expected. I left a little hungry but it is downtown and was an easy walk from anything downtown. read more

Best food ever. Great company, great beer... And Hello, $2 beers on Monday? Now that's a deal. Calamari is to die for and the bruschetta was beautiful and delish. Great management and beautiful decor. Highly recommend and I will surely be back. read more

The food isn't good enough for the prices they charge and waitresses are constantly behind the bar drinking and not paying attention to customers read more

This is getting to be a favorite! I've eaten here 4 times this last month! I love their patio in the back, it's quiet and not crowed. Great specials on Monday, 2.00 beers on tap and 15.00 steak special! Their blue cheese burgers are a favorite too! read more

Outstanding Brunch. Mimosa special. Two of has the veggies scramble, one with egg whites, with potatoe melody, whole wheat toast. My husband had Mexi Scramble wasnt overly spicy. Friendly staff, quick service in our visit read more

I can not say enough good things about this cozy, beautiful little restaurant. Service was spectacular and they were gracious and extremely accommodating. We came for a late birthday lunch and it was perfect! Had a party of 6 and everyone enjoyed their food. The wine was perfect and the beer was cold. This place is a must! read more

We were in town visiting a friend who recommended we have dinner at Bin 119. The food was delicious and our server, Katie, was very attentive and helpful. read more

Wow I can't believe there are bad reviews about this place. For Billings Montana this place is a diamond in the rough! The food is flavorful, service is nice. The atmosphere looks like something you would find in LA. I mean, if I were grading on that level this would get four stars but I remind you again people, it's Billings. Get a clue. read more

Really enjoyed our lunch here. Great menu choices, good service and reasonable prices. We would definitely return

Terrible Management. My group consisted of about 9 ladies out to get an early dinner after my cousin's bridal shower. Our entire experience was ruined, as well as that of other guests, by the appalling behavior of one of the manager/owners. This manager came up to our table and singled out one of our party to accuse her of wrong-doing concerning a coupon. He did not take her aside, or even thoroughly explain the situation, but berated her infront of our entire table as well as the rest of the restaurant. He claimed that this coupon (that she had used months ago) had been reused several times, though he could not verify when or how the rest of these mystery bills were paid for, but that it had cost the restaurant a 'great' expense. She asked him to clarify the situation, wondering how she could have reused this coupon (that has to be presented and given to the restaurant when you use it) and to see these other dates it was supposedly used so she could verify whether or not she was even in town during those times. She also explained that she was a frequent and generous patron of the establishment, something he should have known, and offered to pay for any mistakes that had been made on her part, but wanted to clarify if she had even done anything wrong! He could provide her with absolutely no information, started to get panicky and more rude, and eventually had the entire restaurant's attention shoving this piece of paper in her face. He then started to barter with her about how much she supposedly 'owed' him. It became increasingly clear that this was a situation of the restaurant mismanaging its accounts and he was looking to guilt a customer to pay for someone else's mistake. I am not going to claim to know how every conflict or situation should be handled, nor that I know all there is to know about managing a restaurant, but I have worked at very nice restaurants for years to put myself through school and know that if any manager at those establishments were to behave in that way, they would be let go immediately. I have no reason to exaggerate this. This complaint is by no means a mountain that was made out of a molehill. All of us at the table were completely surprised and taken aback by his extremely rude behavior and shady accusations, so much so that the reservation we had made to bring a large group of family and friends in next month, before the wedding, was immediately canceled. read more

Panko shrimp over cooked and baked potatoe under cooked. We called to make a reservation and were told the reservation book had been lost so they were not taking reservation. We told them we wanted to eat at 430 pm and they said it would not be a problem. Show up at 430, manager tells us they were completely booked. If we wanted to eat there was one table and we could not be at the table past 600 pm. I would have gone somewhere else but my friend wanted to eat there for her birthday. For what I paid I expect better food and better service. read more

Moved to billings from California a year ago, and I have struggled find a good poke bowl in town. Bin 119 has that. The fish is fresh, and the mixture of flavors and ingredients make their poke delicious. Good place to get appetizers and a drink on date night. read more

My husband ordered the fish taco and said, "I thought the dish was so bad that it was not worth sending back" as he had no faith that the chef could get the dish right. The fish was "rotten tasting" and the cabbage was in large pieces not served finely chopped as with most traditional Mexican slaws. There was no salsa or creme accompaniment. Literally my husband did not eat the dish. As we were the guest of friends, he did not want to complain. The waitress should have noticed this and asked what was wrong, but that never happened. I frequent Bin 119 ever so often, but I believe my husband will never return. read more

I'm really disappointed. After reading the reviews, I expected great things. We ordered a filet well done, and two rib-eyes, medium well and well done. Everything came out rare...and they came out one at a time. Really? Who wants to eat alone? The waiter was apologetic, even gave us one steak and a dessert free, but a good meal would have been preferable. Cute space, comfortable, yet trendy booths, but they need to refine the food for sure. read more

I had the salad with tuna and it was the best tuna I've ever had. Roasted sesame seed crust. Yum yum. They were super busy on a Wednesday night and we had to wait 20 min for a table for 2 but then 30 min to place an order and over an hour after that to get tapa olive and hummus spread appetizer. (Got it free due to wait). Another 20 min to get entree salad. So from door to entree = over 2 hours. But like I said, best ever tuna. Also had the cheesecake. I think it was from a box, but it was really good, too. Waitress was SUPER nice and kept apologizing for the kitchen taking forever. I will def go back here when I return to Billings. Had a great patio, too. read more

Was in Billings before rv pickup and we wanted a nicer restaurant to eat in. Jakes was closed and the hotel suggested this place. Walked in and greeted by a bartender with a dry sense of humor(not a plus). Waitress Katie from friendly and helpful. Food was good but not off the charts. Steaks, salmon and short ribs all lacked a veggie side which should have come with the dinner. Perhaps a chefs daily veggie? Son had lobster mac and cheese which he loved. Another son loved the salmon but portion of rice was about a half cup and wasn't enough. Short rib was flavorful just alittle too much gravy that drenched the mashed. Not tons of choices in this town but for a Sunday night we were glad to have a nicer option available. read more

Great wine, excellent service, wonderful patio seating with cool music. Totally lovely. Food was exceptional. Crab cakes, crab & artichoke dip, portobello mushrooms... deeeeeelish! Steak salad and blue cheese burgers, amazing! The one thing they need is fly traps on the patio. Must have been 30 flies buzzing around us the whole time. Gross. read more

Great place to have a bottle of wine and some tapas. Extensive wine list. Good food and friendly service.

The very best steak in town! Get the Tenderloin with portobello mushrooms. AMAZING!

Great food but had the worst and rudest waitress, don't think we will be going back anytime soon...so sad, the new employees should really be trained better, just sayin'. read more

The Bin has a cool atmosphere but that's about it. You're better off going next door to the brewery if you want decent food. Or, mosey up a block to Walkers, whose kitchen has execution down pat (and prices comparable to Bin's). read more

Generally pretty good and a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere. Food good, but I don't think they've changed their menu since they opened, which makes it pretty predictable. read more

I had a fairly disappointing experience last night at Bin 119 with a friend. We went there during the dinner hour, around 6 PM, prior to a concert at the Alberta bear. We ordered each a glass of the California Cabernet on their menu, to eat, she ordered the steak salad, and I had the Seared Ahi tuna. My tuna was fine, but The steak in her salad was nearly raw. We did pointed out to the server, who apologized and said that she would comp my friends meal. I had some concerns about whether she was going to communicate that the food was raw to management or to the kitchen staff. I've been to Bin 119 many times, and generally the food I've had there has been very good. I'm going to consider this a one off, and I'll go back again. On another note, and this has been a complaint I've had that I've communicated to the staff there previously, they've got a great bottle menu of wine, but their by the glass pours are really, really not good. They could do very well to completely revamp their by the glass pours on their wine menu. read more

Not only does Bin 119 have a unique and classy environment, but the food is tasty, too! The price is a bit more than normal restaurant (such as a chain like Red Robin), but the value is still fair for the yummy cuisine. My best friend is in love with their sangria, and I can't get enough of their crab cakes! I've also had the shrimp scampi and the halibut filet, and everything is always delicious. They're even accommodating with their menu, by allowing me to swap out the sides I don't like for a Caesar salad (also quite appetizing). The service is always pleasant and warm, which enhances the vibe of the restaurant itself. It would be a great place for a date night or a girl's night out, and is definitely one of the better restaurants in town. I've been there several times now and have never had a bad experience or less-than-awesome dish, so check it out! read more
