Bitter Root Brewing is one of the older Montana breweries that I came across in my recent beer adventures in the Big Sky state. The beer that I got for our enjoyment was a fruit beer. Sometimes these types of beers can be pretty sugary and be a bit much. But that wasn't a problem with Huckleberry Honey Ale. Yes, it was sweet. No doubt about it but it wasn't it's dominant feature which was great and made this fruit beer a fun one to drink. Flavors to play around on your tongue with this beverage are sweet, fruity, honey and subtle. The subtle is probably the mechanism at play where nothing comes off too heavy handed , making the flavor profile well balanced. The beer is light bodied which is great as the summer time temps crank up the thermometer the light bodied beers are most appreciated. read more

A brewpub that is all killer and no filler. Comfy sorta modern industrial vibe but excellent service. Staff may be great actors but they seem to enjoy the place. Brews are solid--really liked the brown ale. The quality and quantity of the food are the real surprise. Most brewpubs have mediocre offerings and mediocre tasting food. Not here. Highly recommend the brisket bowls--plenty of brisket OM top of Cole slaw, etc. tasty combination. But absolutely order the garlic Parmesan fries. OMG. Crunchy, and cheesy. So good! read more

Food is generally good. Service is hit & miss! Frequently state short staffed. Which limits seating. Loud. Menu generally has something for everyone and, most items-from salad to tacos and burgers even pub-fries appetizer have been good. read more

One of my most favorite places to eat Bavarian food. The Weiner schnitzel is as authentic as it comes and delicious and the spatzle is beyond yummy, I get it every time we eat there. The service is always pleasant and fast. It got a great outside are and has a stack of games you can play along with a giant chess set outside. The owner Jergun is always fascinating and fun to talk to especially if you've got knowledge of Bayern from visiting there yourself. read more

Had the smash burger and it was way overcooked, chewy, and dry. Tripled the fry sauce so it could be chewed. Did the salad as a side, and it was standard. My traveling companion ordered the smoked brisket bowl and said it was so good that he had to eat it all right then. So I probably should have ordered something different. Great quirky interior decorations and very friendly service. read more

We sat at the bar thinking we'd have a quick beer and leave but Matt took such great care of us that we decided to stick around for some food as well! We were NOT disappointed! Make sure to try the honey basil sriracha sauce with whatever you eat. The brussel sprouts were delicious and so were the cheese curds. I can't emphasize enough how wonderful the staff was! Food amazing, beer amazing! Will definitely be back anytime we're in Hamilton! read more

Been here several times now. We love the garlic parm fries. Food is consistently good and the service stellar.

Our party of three really enjoyed our stop at bitterroot brewing after a nearby hike. We tried 10 beers in two flights. We thought 9/10 were exceptional! The tenth was good. We had a burger, special German burger for Oktoberfest , and a bowl (mexi.). They all tasted great. The only negatives were that dogs were not allowed on their patio ( why not!?) and the cheese in the cheese curds was not flavorful. The place was clean and you could see right into the kitchen from upstairs. They had a stage for musical acts too. read more

Great place for a beer and food is delicious and menu options great. Sat at the bar and had great service, good conversation too. Highly recommend stopping here for a beer and food. read more

This was the first brewery in the valley. It has always had fairly good beer, once it moved to current location, very good food. Unfortunately, like most places, the service and price makes it not worth going to anymore. You may have experienced it elsewhere, where an establishment's wait staff act as though your lucky you get to spend money in their business. Sorry Bitterroot Brewery, news is out, you might be cool for the yellowstone crowd, but locals see through the hype. Hope you get a clue! read more

Great food. My whole family loved everything we ordered. Will recommend and will come back when visiting.

Ordered take out and got the stuffed artichoke bottoms. They were good but nothing out of this world that I would order them again. For me a little too oily and citrusy maybe but someone else might enjoy that. My main dish was the humble bowl and that I would order again and again. I was a big fan of everything in this bowl and didn't want it to end. I'd definitely try out this place if in the neighborhood. read more

The food was uninspiring at best. The turkey melt although with half a sandwich seemed to be a large portion was a large piece of bread with two thinly sliced pieces of turkey. With too much cheese to hide the lacking of meat. The BLT again looks good but when you dig into it you find undercooked bacon and lack of it. An aioli sauce that was not much more than water down mayo. The service was definitely better than the food. The oatmeal stout wasn't bad though and we'd recommend that if coming here to do so for the beer and not the food. When we spoke with the waitress she committed that the cost of Avocados where expensive! Like in reality at retail $.98 avocados has to do with a $11 half sandwiches lack of meat on it. read more

Absolutely love this place! All of the food I have had here is delicious and they have many options to please the whole family. Items range from vegetarian options and meat lover options. It is first come first serve for tables so be aware of this if coming with a large group on an evening and especially on the weekend! The servers are quick to take your order and knowledgeable about their drinks and menu. Can be loud when busy, but they have outdoor seating which can aid in a quieter atmosphere. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone who enjoys a well cooked meal! read more

The best wings I've had here. They were juicy and not overly salted. Even the boneless wings we got as appetizers were good. The gals inside were nice, and helpful. Didn't have much of a drinking option as far as non alcoholic drinks but nonetheless, it was good. read more

I rolled into this establishment with the pure intention of wetting my whistle. To my surprise, I received more than a titillating awakening of my palate with an array of sweet pleasure in the form Of microbrews... what awakened my senses was the accompaniment of flavors that not only filled my belly but blossomed my soul. Pure magic is brought to the culinary experience here... as if tiny fairies were blowing their pixie dust onto each and every fusion of flavors. Nothing short of masterful here, and you won't leave without someone knowing your name... read more

I have never had a bad meal here. Service is always exceptional. My granddaughter loves the fish n chips with huckleberry lemonade. My go to is the Tazon. read more

Wow! What a delight! We were driving through town, and saw the sign and had to stop! Love the beer choices. I tried the huckleberry pale ale, and my husband tried the fruit-based sour (raspberry?). Both cold and delicious. The menu was awesome- locally sourced and creative! We had a small salad with Arugula, sesame seeds, avocado and cucumber with their red chili rice vinegar. Really good. We split the Cowboy burger- cooked perfectly to order on a soft ciabatta bun, piled with fresh veggies. And we had to get the side of fried cheese curds. Everything coming out of the kitchen looks good! I so wanted. To order. More. Food, but we were full! As amazing as. the food was, the service was better! Very nice people and helpful! read more

We love the BR. The food is creative and always a surprise that one is never sure what you will get in a brewery. The ambiance is an upbeat approachable hip vibe. Very friendly staff gets the job done without being obtrusive. Always a good time. Popular place so we always try to go early. They also sell swag and it's always changing which makes it fun to collect! read more

A new menu dropped. The salman dishes were removed and the menu is now heavy on brisket dishes. I'm wary of brisket since it can often be fatty. I tried the huckleberry avocado toast. Horrible. When I looked at it, I thought where's the avocado? I couldn't see it. The 2 pieces of toast were laden with huckleberry marmalade, which was the only thing I could taste. There were 3 small thin pieces of avocado per piece of bread. I couldn't taste it since the portions were so skimpy and smothered by probably much less expensive jam. It was overly sweet and not my idea of avocado toast. I'll skip this place until the menu changes again. I looked forward to a good restaurant meal and what I chose was truly bad. I wish I had stopped eating and not finished it. I felt queasy after eating it, I think because I'm not used to eating so much sugar. The service seems to have gone down too. I was ready to order and a woman was washing dishes while I waited. I finally told a passing wait person that I was ready to order. read more

I love finding new offerings on the seasonal menu. The brisket, in any choice, is the right choice. The Kitchen provides great food, the Servers are unfailingly pleasant & attentive. The brews, cold & delish! Great local business that does it all right. read more

Love the place, great service and amazing waitresses. I just ordered the fish tacos and it was the best. Didn't finished it cause my social anxiety but when I got home, I inhaled it. Thank you for the great meal read more

Pretty good place. The hotel receptionist recommended it for "good bar food." I ordered the Sriracha Honey Basil Hell Fire wings because I thought the name was interesting and I like a good wing. They were tasty, but not as spicy as I thought they would be with the name "hell fire". I also ordered the "Humble Bowl" because it had a lot of yelp reviews. I wasn't impressed. The cod was cold, the slaw was too saucy and it was bland. Perhaps the cod is supposed to be cold, but when I see "grilled cod" in the description, I expected it to be hot. Nonetheless, I would def order the wings again. 3.5 stars. Happy Dinning! read more

Service always outstanding. Food very well prepared. Nice clean place with a great atmosphere.

Love the food. It's different from other local restaurants. The service is decent. There is a din of noise at times that makes it difficult to hear. read more

Smaller building with a unique atmosphere, feels very welcoming. Large portions for a great price. I ordered Brent's BLT- it was one of the largest BLTs I have ever seen and was super good. My husband ordered a bhr which was also very large, he continues to rave about it to all of our friends. For appetizer we had the cheese curds that were a little too greasy for us but they were all gone by the time our food got there. Not too expensive. We had an appetizer, two entrees, a beer and a root beer and it did not break the bank like other restaurants do. read more

Although a bit pricey, the food was delicious! My husband and I ordered the tuna melt with garlic Parmesan fries. They were even kind enough to split the sandwhich, serve it on two plates, and gave us a decent amount of fries! Btw the ranch was to die for! They make it in house and they don't charge you for the sauce. The beer was alright. I had the huckleberry honey. read more
