Im so glad this was the only place open on this Monday night, it was marvelous! I got the Elk Stroganoff, and it was INCREDIBLE. The noodles are handmade from a local company, and you could tell they were fresh. While they dont have an official kids menu, dont shy away! They have several options available that they are willing to tell you about, including chicken tenders, butter noodles & sliders. The server was SO kind, and patient with our little one. read more

You have to get the brussels sprouts! So good! I order the halibut and it was perfectly cooked. Very chill spot so no need to be dress up. The food was so good, I was so surprised since it's located in a small town read more

This was served to me as a medium rare filet?!??? Was so overcooked it looked like a cow pattie. I could not eat it. Was offered a new one but everyone was done so I just said no. A scoop of mashed potatoes about the size of a small cookie. I ate them but the steak was by far the worse ever. How they get 5 stars baffle me. No one at our table of 5 were impressed. Salmon good but very small. Add a few more potatoes maybe to make presentation better. Salmon came with 4 halves of baby red potatoes. Men weee still hungry. This place use to be good. Too bad. read more

Great food and service. Menu has a wide range of choices. Hamburgers were great and the fench fries were outstanding. Will be back on our next trip to Red Lodge. read more

What a thoroughly disappointing dinner! We arrived and waited 20 minutes past our reservation time before getting a table. A loud amplified guitarist and a harmonica player made it almost impossible to hear once inside. I ordered a glass of red wine which arrived in a chilled glass and served at about 38 degrees - so cold that it was tasteless. When I asked the server she inquired of the bar staff who told her the wine was served at "European cellar temperature." No, that would be 60 degrees, not sub-40. Next up was the Caesar salad with way too much dressing drowning it. Then a Bistro Burger so overly salty that I didn't finish it. Accompanied by fries that were soft and lukewarm. My friend ordered fettuccini Alfredo and got a different type of pasta that he said had an unpleasant gummy texture. It was also heavily over salted. Do yourself a favor and skip this place! read more

Great place wonderful food with good service. I had the chili it was good probably wouldn't get that again. My Cesar salad awesome!!

Fantastic service. Fantastic ribeye and my husband had the chicken. Excellent food. Highly recommend.

We're on a long motorcycle trip and really needed a good meal. I can see why the ratings are so high. We had Casidee for a server and she did an outstanding job. I had the chicken Alfredo. It was like something you would get in a 5 star restaurant including presentation. We ordered the Brussel sprout appetizer and the chef brought it out. I let him know how great he did. It was a great experience and the prices were very fair considering where we were at. read more

Our group of 4 from Florida enjoyed everything about this restaurant. The elk and fried brussel sprouts was a big hit!

Great find on a busy Friday night in Red Lodge. Streets were packed but this place had a few open tables and got us in immediately. Amazing staff, great recommendations and an abundant list of drinks. Food and appetizer were tasty, we will definitely be back!! read more

Mmm the 5 stars took me by surprise since the kitchen was t 5 star tonight. Nice young man who serviced me. Sort of bougie ambiance. The food was not up to par even though price was reasonable. I ordered a drink which arrived after my food. My chicken was obviously precooked and heated up and I asked fries well done and for soggy and cold. They did replace them after I complained and I ate them while I walked back to my hotel. Not what I expected with a 5 star rating. Did I mention none of the food in the photos was on the menu! Maybe one read more

Great restaurant in downtown Red Lodge. We was here during the motorcycle rally '23. The place was popping we got right in. We ordered the garlic shrimp-delicious- and the chicken fried steak-very delicious- a lil different flavor of any other chicken fried steak that I've had Also the mashed potatoes & gravy were excellent as well! Definitely be back. They also had a singer songwriter performing and he was very good. Dinner and a show. Awesome read more

Black Canyon Salad was yummy. Hubby had french dip which was also good. We'll be back!

Great food and very friendly staff. The beet salad was delicious, and we all loved our entrees. I will definitely be back.

We had mostly small plates as we wanted to try so many things. Food was amazing with such great combinations of flavors.

Everything we had was awesome and the service was warm, quick, and efficient. We had the bacon wrapped dates for an appetizer. The French dip as an entree--highly recommend! The curried orange mango mimosa is delicious, too. read more

Great waitress, she was fun and attentive. Food was great, Burgers, the waitress forgot to put in the order for the appetizer, but offered a dessert at no cost to make up for the mistake. She was honest and made things right! Was a refreshing change from many other restaurants that have unfriendly servers and don't care about fixing mistakes. This is a restaurant that I would definitely return to and recommend! read more

Another one bites the dust. When BCB first opened, it was very much like many other early concept restaurants in RL. Attentive owners, great food, great service. Sadly now it's another RL restaurant that has been struck by the RL Market Death Star. They cheapened their service. Just tonight we had a young waitress deliver our food by tossing our plates on the table, not knowing who had ordered what dish. She literally placed our plates in the middle of the table for all attendees to figure it out... and then she commented... "Uh, there you go" as she walked away. Dismal service with uninspired dishes. Sadly, another once great RL restaurant bites the dust. read more

Black Canyon Bistro has great atmosphere, service, and food. Everything is wonderful every time we dine at the Black Canyon Bistro. Thanks Chad read more

Kate was my family's server this evening & man was she fantastic! The food was delicious my husband tried the Elk burger in which she gave him a recommendation on how to get it cooked so it can taste the best & it definitely was. She was so sweet to my kids & the place got busy out of nowhere but the service was still top notch! We are visiting for out of state & would definitely recommend it to everyone! Thank you to the whole friendly staff for making us feel so welcomed! read more

Steak tips and French dip. So Yum. Awesome crafted cocktails. Ended with in-house made black forest cake was delightful. Great friendly service. A1! read more

Was in town on business and absolutely loved this place. The food was good, the drinks were great, and the service was incredible. Very cool spot and can't wait to go back next time read more

Nice Main Street location. Open seating in the front was a little noisier and bustling. Reservations in the back a little more intimate and quiet. Our server Shay was a delight! We tried the dates, had a truly exceptional beet salad which they split for us in the kitchen, and likewise split the French dip. They have an in house pastry chef so we shared a beautiful butter cake with caramel. The food was really good. The sandwich was just a touch greasy. A really nice selection of wine by the glass. This would have been a five rating but the kitchen staff were loudly discussing personal business and someone was very vocal about a crabby customer that ruined their day. We mentioned it to Shay and it improved after a but. I think she spoke to someone so good recovery. We will definitely be back! read more

The wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Black Canyon Bistro! I had the Crispy Chicken Alfredo, it was perfect. My wife had The Greek, again perfect! For dessert we shared a Butter Cake which is a must have if you are fortunate enough to visit this place. Alex, our server, was the best. He was very personable and knowledgeable regarding the menu items and available libations. This place offers a variety of dining atmosphere from private, to lounge or side walk. Can't go wrong! read more

One of the most amazing meals we've ever had - and we seek out good food everywhere we go! Our server was wonderful - pleasant, kind, just enough chatter to be friendly but not overwhelming! Cocktails were delicious; we both had several of the same beverage and worth every penny! Our dinner was every bit as spectacular as the service and the cocktails. My husband had the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and I had the elk medallions which were knock-your-socks-off delicious! We skipped dinner and went across the street to the pizza joint for a skillet cookie instead of opting for an in-house dessert. Can't say enough good things - atmosphere, live music, service, cocktails, entrees... all amazing! read more

Great food, service and staff. Very attentive. Will be back soon and have already recommended to friends.

New to Red Lodge, this place will become a must go dining experience. The staff was great and the food even better! We had a party of 8 so got to sample so many different things. We started off with lobster sliders and crab cakes (pictured). Both were fantastic and the plating of everything was so appealing. Our table enjoyed the elk medallions (recommend cooked medium-which was perfect), pasta Thermidor (shells, mushrooms, peppers, shrimp and oh my goodness the sauce!), bacon wrapped scallops, salmon served right on the cedar plank, ribeye, and French onion soup. As the main courses are served a la cart, we also ordered plenty of sides to share. We were so full I can't recommend a dessert but I would've loved to try the huckleberry crème brûlée! read more

Black Canyon Bistro - Crab cakes - French Near Me - Red Lodge, Montana

We were quite disappointed with our dinners. One person ordered Chicken Piccata pasta. It was described as: "Pasta, grilled chicken, white wine lemon caper sauce". What was delivered was clumpy pasta in a bland cream sauce, with flavorless chicken. The cream sauce, which had an unusual, unpleasant texture, overwhelmed everything so nothing else could be tasted. The other person ordered a dish from the "Salads" section of the menu. It was listed as steak and endive. The expectation was for salad ingredients (greens) along with endive and pieces of steak. The dish was actually a piece of steak, with a side of grilled endive. Since the intent was to order a healthy, balanced dinner, the dish did not meet expectations. The grilled asparagus was fine. The salted caramel custard was great. We ordered to go, so couldn't send the food back and most of the pasta dish had to be discarded. read more

Delicious food and great service! Ambiance is very nice. The drive from Cody was worth while! Beautiful views read more

The beverages and food were very good, but the service we got from Jennifer was stellar. I definitely want to go back when it's not quite so hot in order to dine outside. BCB, Jennifer does you proud! read more

Popped in on a Thursday while passing through town and holy cow were we glad we did! We were on a coast to coast road trip and this was easily the best food we had any where. While the food was exceptional the best part was our amazing waiter, Jake. He was so sweet and very attentive. Best service we have ever had! There was also live music and the two guys playing were amazing and so funny. We had the wild game board and crab cakes. Game board included pheasant, bison, yak, kangaroo and ostrich. All of it was delicious. Crab cakes were so crispy and packed with flavor. For dinner we had the elk stroganoff, salmon and chicken fried steak. Everything came out hot and melt in your mouth delicious! The elk stroganoff was absolutely to die for!!!! We couldn't leave without trying their butter cake with caramel ice cream and caramel sauce. Between 3 adults and a kid we couldn't eat it all but boy was it delicious. If I could I'd give this place a way higher rating! Literally cannot say enough good things. read more

We had dinner here a few weeks ago, and we will most certainly return. There was no wait for a table even though it was busy when we first arrived. The level of service was exceptional! Quick and amiable. There was just a single waiter, but she was excellent! It seemed that everyone in the restaurant was happy. The proprietors emerged to assist with serving food to tables and mixing beverages. In addition to being excellent, the meal was inventive. The menu has something for everyone, and the presentation and flavors are superb. A brief list of our favorites includes Black Canyon Bistro! read more

Very delicious food and great service. They owner/chef came out and brought us our appetizers and then later came and checked on us to see how we enjoy our food! It was all fresh and delicious presentation was beautiful! read more

Over priced for what we got, food was undercooked on 2 out of the meals we ordered. I would probably give the other steak house a try but we heard this was the spot in red lodge. Not sure I would go back. read more
