    Smash burger with fries
    Leslie H.

    Sweet little spot in Old Town Bozeman. Found with the help of trusty Yelpers! Thanks guys! Arrived after the lunch rush and before Happy Hour so it was quiet. We ordered Smash Burgers, one with a side of fries and one with a side salad. Absolutely delicious! Fries were perfect and the side salad was a cut above. Nice mix of field greens with a small amount of iceberg which added crunch and body. Do order the white wine vinaigrette! Since it was slow, had a nice conversation with our very personable server, friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely give this place a try!

    The Bistro Burger

    We rarely go out, but we are so glad we did. We had the croquettes and Waldorf salad to start. They were a perfect starter. The burger is just delicious...so juicy cooked just perfectly. I'm pretty picky. I will try the smash burger next time. The rib eye was pricey but worth it. It paired well with simple veggies and mashed potatoes done right. We'll stay for dessert next time. Service and ambiance were great. Thank you for a great night out.

    I took my fiancé to Bitterroot Bistro for his birthday and we had a fabulous time! It is a small restaurant but the atmosphere is great and you don't have to worry about noise. You can also walk in and get a seat easily which is a plus. The servers were very friendly and gave great recommendations. We started with the beef pasties. They were very flavorful and the perfect sized appetizer. The Waldorf salad and homemade spiced dressing was delicious. The server let us know that they will split salads & entrees for no extra charge. My fiancé and I decided to shared the ribeye. The photo is of a half portion which I thought was still a lot of food. The steak was seasoned & cooked perfectly! The mashed potatoes were delicious and creamy. We had the lemon posset for dessert. We loved it I didn't even get a chance to snap a picture. Definitely check out Bitterroot Bistro! We thought the prices were worth it for the high quality meal and experience.

    I have to say, we came to town with no intention of going out to dinner and came across bitterroot, we could have looked better as we had been working in the garage. Austin our waitress greeted us with a smile and the most hospitable service we have gotten in years downtown. The restaurant located just off main is the perfect place to not battle crowds and just enjoy your evening out with the fantastic music and excellent drink selection. The food was out of this world, the best ribeye in the valley by far. Not to mention the trout alone my wife had made me want to come back. This has become bar non out new go to spot!

    I found it to be overpriced and the food over salted. The one highlight were the mashed sweet potatoes, they were delicious!

    The only bison tartare we found during our whole trip- we loved it! The burger and trout dip were excellent. Get the ranch!

    Matthew's service was fantastic!! He was attentive but not pushy. The food was delicious as well. A bit pricey though.

The inside is chalked full of trout, moose, bear paraphernalia and it really gives you the western vibe that the name suggests. Better yet, the food is fantastic! I've tried the harvest scramble and the veggie omelet as well as their famous bobcat French toast. Although French toast is my favorite food and the bobcat style is amazing, it wasn't my absolute favorite. I do love the savory menu items I've tried and the portions are very generous. Even though they're always busy on the weekends, I've never had to wait for a table and the staff is always friendly and on top of things. This is one of my favorite brunch spots in town!

I did the B&G breakfast. That's biscuits and gravy with choice of egg and meat. The biscuits were tasty and large. They were soft with a perfect hint of sweetness. They were almost perfect just a tad dry. The gravy was good with the right consistency. The eggs were perfect over easy and the yolk mixed great with the meal. Finally, I loved the bacon it was crispy goodness. Great place to go for breakfast.

    Our party of 4 ate here for our first meal in Montana. The place is much bigger inside than how it…read morelooked outside. When we came in at around 4pm, there seemed to be plenty of tables available but after an hour, the place quickly filled up. Vibes/Service: Parking lot in the back and it seemed there was some street parking available as well. Many, many tables available with bar seating as well. It can certainly fit a larger group. Great service from our server. Checked on us often and filled up our waters. Food: Because it was our first meal here, we wanted to try out their staple dishes. -Bison Potstickers ($16): 5 pieces topped with mango and garlic chili sauce and served with some coleslaw. Rich and filling, paired well with the sauce. Would order this again! -Bison Patty Melt ($22): it was my first time eating Bison, the waiter suggested medium rare. It looked more red than I usually like but it actually was juicy and tasty-- I guess this is the difference between a regular beef patty. I'd also order this again. -Served with pepper parmesan fries which was so uniquely food. Fries were fresh. -Huckleberry Cream Ale ($8/pint) paired well with my meal.

    Good meal and good experience. This was between 4 and 5 stars. I sat at the bar and the service…read morewas great at the start. Super quick to get the first drink and food order. My server knew the special menu, regular menu and drinks very well. I ordered the bison patty melt and tots for the meal and the Bridger Hazy IPA for the drink. The bartender recommended the IPA and it was excellent. The homemade tots were great. A shredded potato in the middle, nice and creamy and crunchy exterior. Feedback was there were only 5 on the plate. Definitely could use more. The bison patty met was perfectly cooked. A lot of folks overcook and dry out the bison. It was perfectly medium and juicy. Feedback would be a little char on the patty would be great. The service really tailed off in the end, it was not super busy and they had about 5 servers behind the bar. I sat there for at least 15 min until another bar tender asked if I wanted another brew and my server came about 5 to 10 later to attend to things.
