Looking for a bite to eat in town and ran across Boots Bar & Grill. When you enter the restaurant you see a sign to seat yourself. You can choose a table, hi top and of course the bar. We found a table towards the back. Waitress came over quickly took our drink order and was back to take our dinner order. Waitress was very sweet, busy taking orders and bussing her tables. But service was great. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich with a side salad $ 2.00 up charge, but very fresh. Sandwich was over cooked and very salty. My husband order the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken which he truly enjoyed as well as a cold beer. read more

Boots Bar & Grill was founded in 2009 by Morey Bang & Brad Skachenko. It's a must-stop American dining experience for all the locals & those passing through after hiking Theodore Roosevelt National Park. It's in the heart of Medora; a tourist attraction in North Dakota. They are known for a large selection of food from juicy Certified Angus Beef Steaks to burgers, homemade pizzas ... We started with a local Beaver Creek Golden Ale beer, which was refreshing. We each got a bison burger with fries. We were torn between elk or bison and we told that there isn't much of a difference in taste. Our burgers were sooo good , beer soooo cold, fries crispy perfection & Cody couldn't be more helpful & attentive !!! read more

The fish tacos were absolutely amazing- the sweet potato fries were overcooked. Hence the four stars instead of five. My husband had the tri-tip sandwich with fries and it was delicious as well. This definitely could have been five stars. If the sweet potato fries weren't burnt. Service was great. Definitely get a side of the white barbecue sauce to dip your fries in because it's so good. read more

My time at Boots is always wonderful! Excellent food, excellent service, and a fun atmosphere. Their pretzel + dip appetizer is to die for!! It used to come with Bloody Mary cream cheese, too (bring that back, please.) I am also a huge fan of their Brussels sprout tacos - yum!! Highly recommended. This restaurant is a gem in southwest North Dakota! read more

Stopped in for lunch after a busy morning of hiking and sight seeing at Theodore Roosevelt south unit. It was seat yourself and I found a spot at a high top table near the bar. Service was average, nothing over the top, got the job done. Definitely western theme inside with lots of tables. I had the Killdeer, which was their take on a Philly cheesesteak. The garlic aioli/sauce added a nice flavor. I do wish the steak was sliced thinner or smaller pieces, as it was tough to bite through and the entire strip would come out when attempting to take a bite. The sweet potato waffle fries were as expected. Would return to try other menu items as they had a good variety. read more

Ambiance was nice. Service was excellent. Drinks were good. Food, meh. My wife really enjoyed her fish. My friend had the Killdeer who said was good but average. I had the elk burger which was well over done, and was nothing special. A Big Mac would have been better. The onion rings were burnt in many parts, very unevenly cooked. Having worked in the food industry, who is allowing this subpar food to leave the kitchen? Advice; if you are going to charge this much for food, make it special, make it good, and make customers want to come back. We feel ripped off and will not come back. read more

Stopped by here after hiking the park and was pleasantly surprised with the food. I got the Badlands salad and my partner got the white buffalo chicken sandwich. Both were delicious and very filling. I would go back and order again! Service was great and the place had a very relaxed vibe. read more

Average American restaurant but I would say one of the best in the area compared to other establishments my boyfriend and I walked by (other places were empty). We ordered the pulled pork quesadillas (they were ok) and I had my sirloin tips with fries (4 out of 5) and my boyfriend had a burger. The raspberry iced tea was pretty good though. The ambiance is what made it! Very casual feel with a variety of different people (kids, elderly). It gives a bar type of feel but really it's fairly family oriented. read more

On a dreary day we needed some lunch. Beer was cold. Plenty of seating and parking. We were greated and served promptly. Quesadillas were 5/5 Egg rolls 3/5 as they were too greasy for us. (But the dip was yummy) read more

They asked for our drinks and food right away, after our food was served no one came back. No drink refill, no checking on how food was. I paid $30 for one piece of fish and a quarter cup of mashed potatoes. Not impressed with the lack of service. read more

Ate there two nights in a row, first night was a 3 meat pizza to go. Pizza was hot and ready. Kinda expensive for the size, pretty tasty pizza but nothing special, I'd say a 7/10 Second night a big group went in and I had fish tacos. Walleye was good and crispy but taco needed sauce. I'd give it a 6/10 as I've had way better, Service was poor as they were insanely busy and under staffed. Staff seemed impatient that we had questions and weren't as quick as they wanted us to be at ordering, place was crazyyyy loud, Overall its average, 7/10 and I probably won't ever go back read more

Boots Bar and Grill in Medora completely blew me away! Do not listen to the bad reviews on here. I've had fish and chips in countless places across the country, but their fish basket was hands down some of the best I've ever had perfectly crispy, flaky, not too much breading and seasoned just right. Locally caught walleye. Every bite was golden perfection. I also tried the tri-tip sandwich, and it was next level, tender, juicy, and packed with smoky flavor. And if you're in the mood for something a little offbeat but absolutely delicious, the peanut butter and jelly burger is a surprising hit. It sounds wild, but the sweet and savory combo totally works and left me wanting more. On top of the incredible food, the service was outstanding--friendly, fast, and genuinely welcoming. You can tell the staff really care about the customer experience. If you're in Medora, don't miss this place. Boots Bar and Grill is a gem, and I'll be coming back every chance I get! read more

Wait staff good. Food ok better than little Missouri restaurant. Best is restaurant in the teddy Roosevelt hotel

Boots bar and grill is definitely a popular spot in Medora. The interior consists of wooden picnic tables and a huge bar. The service was wonderful, especially with how packed the place was. Unfortunately, they were all out of the jalapeño chokecherry jelly, so a couple of us had to change our orders. White Buffalo Chicken Sandwich. A really yummy concoction and stuffed full of meat and goodies. The hoagie bread was great, as well as the french fries. read more

Good food in a rodeo atmosphere with pleasant service. My Walleye basket was tasty although a bit small. My wife's Painted Canyon Salad was huge and very good. Craft beers from Montana on tap were another plus. read more

We got to Medora before the tourist season started, so lots of the restaurants were closed. Out of the places we could chose from, I think we chose well. Hubby and I shared the Pretzels & Dips - 3 soft large pretzel sticks served with beer cheese, cream cheese, and a chokeberry jelly. Beer cheese was served cold, which is not my preference. But all the dips were nice. The pretzel was yummy. I opted for the Brussel sprout tacos - absolutely divine! The Brussel sprouts were charred perfectly. Drizzled with a chipotle aioli. Such a good dish! I would eat this anytime . Hubby got the White Buffalo chicken sandwich - hoagie roll, pulled chicken with white Buffalo sauce, coleslaw. Very yummy! Satiating, satisfying, happy food served here! Super casual vibe, unique food (at least what we chose), with quick and friendly service - loved it! read more

Food was good and the shoe string fries awesome. We both had the black and bleu burger. Wife stated,"Better than most places". I agree. A five is a stretch, but a four didn't seem honest or fair. So better than most places. read more

One of the best Supreme Pizzas I've ever had. Great fast service and good craft beer.

Awesome atmosphere and great food. Feels like a real life western back in the day bar with rodeo on all the TV's!!!! Great beer from local brewery. read more

I don't understand the lower end star rating on this place. We had lunch so delicious we went back for dinner. (They are doing construction during the day, so it was loud and annoying - but temporary.) Both servers we had were great - attentive and friendly. I loved the white BBQ chicken and the brussel sprout tacos. My dad loved the steak basket and enjoyed the fish basket also. We'd go back!! read more

Fun place to stop for dinner and drinks! We were looking for some food after visiting Theodore Roosevelt National Park and stumbled on this place and ended up grabbing a spot at the bar. The service was quick and attentive and it seemed to be a popular place. Everything on the menu looked so good, but I got the Badlands Salad on a recommendation from our bartender. It was fantastic. Fun and casual atmosphere sitting at the bar and watching some football. Would visit again! read more

The fries are pretty good. I got the pesto chicken sandwich and it was pretty good! This is a solid option given there aren't very many choices in Medora. This place was very busy even at 2-3pm from the summer rush of visitors. Service was slow when trying to get the check and leave. I had to flag down the waitress for it. read more

Not many places in Medora seem to be open in the evening so we thought we'd "settle" for Boots Bar & Grill. However, we were pleasantly surprised with the food we ordered. Fish basket: this one was made with Walleye and I got the side of fries and someone else got a side of sweet potato waffle fries. Fish, fries, and sweet potato fries were all so good. Especially loved the sweet potato waffle fries with the garlic aioli! Someone else ordered a pepperoni and mushroom pizza which was also tasty. There was one negative comment that I have to make. The waitress seemed so eager to rush us out. We're barely into our meal and she's already asking if we will be ordering dessert. We said we'd think about it and she comes back really quick while we're still eating and we ask if it's because the kitchen is closing or something and she said no. We didn't even finish eating and she already had the bill ready and offered a to-go box. It's not the restaurant was busy at all - there were table available and no one waiting. Just wanted to mention this because that was the only thing that left a bad taste in our mouth. read more

Medora ID is now at it's off season since the Medora Musical is over. At 6pm, all the shops are closed except for a convenience store, a gift shop, a saloon, a bar and a few restaurants. Without spending an arm and a leg, I thought Boots Bar & Grill would be a good medium. Mid prices with average reviews but I will go for it since there aren't many options around. A few things is wrong with this place and to start would be their website. The online take out is completely missing the Entree section which my husband and I both wanted to order entrees! So, I had to call them to place a take out order. I ordered the fresh grilled fish "The Walleye" and my husband ordered the top Sirloin steak. The lady on the phone told me it would be 20 mins. We walked around Downtown and realize it was a ghost town with everything pretty much closed. Ok then! Time to pick up our food.. We arrived and went up to the bar. Took awhile for someone to greet us. All the servers seemed extremely busy even though the place was not packed. Finally, someone comes up to check us out. After we paid, he pointed that our food was at a table that we passed by while on the way in. Sure enough, our meals were sitting in a bag. My fresh fish seemed frozen as well as the broccoli. Fish was hard and lacked taste inside. My husbands steak lacked taste inside. Looks and tasted like a frozen microwave dinner. Just not good. Would recommend planning in advance before you get food in this town. Not many options and what's open is no go. read more

Food was great, service and ambiance amazing. Purchase a Boots Bar & Grill glass boot memory to take home to Hawaii

Recommend the pan seared walleye! Ordered the asparagus and broccoli with it and it perfect.

We were visiting the South Unit but first, food. We chose this place because it had walleye which is one of our favorites. The food was delicious and the service prompt. read more

Average food with average prices. The service was good and the ambiance was so-so. Best bet for lunch.

GREAT FOOD AND SERVICE! We walked in with 11 people at lunch time and got served pretty quickly. Everyone enjoyed their food- chicken tenders, white Buffalo sandwich, elk burger, etc! As a vegetarian, I would highly recommend the Brussels sprouts tacos- with guac! Phenomenal, especially in a place I wasn't expecting many options! read more

Walked in about 7:20 on a Thursday. The place was busy with lots of patrons. The dining room bar area is rustic like the old west. Sat down at an available table and was greeted almost immediately. Took our drink order and returned quickly with two cold beers. We chose to order the large supreme pizza and a cup of Wisconsin cheese soup. The soup was so thick the spoon could stand up in it. It was tasty with a Smokey undertone. Pizza was served and had a very thin and crispy crust. Being from Chicago we are picky about our pizza. This was a very good pizza. Our server Bruce was friendly and attentive. read more

I was walking up and down the main drag in Medora, looking for a place to eat breakfast. I was drawn to the smells of morning cooking coming from Boots, and decided to give it a go despite a mediocre rating in Yelp. You'll be impressed with the quality of food and great service you get. The biscuits and gravy had an unusual, almost sweet taste, but it somehow really worked. I'd strongly recommend. As in most restaurants west of the Mississippi, Boots can make a killer breakfast burrito. And while the pancakes weren't the best I've ever had, the blueberries that we had with them were extremely fresh and addictive. The only complaint I had was with the chicken on the chicken and waffles. They kept it in the fryer a few minutes too long, and sadly it came out overdone and a little stiff. Here's the thing, though. For two adults and two kids the pre-tip bill was over fifty. That's a Grant plus for a family to eat breakfast. This ain't New York City, y'all. It's Medora, North Dakota. I get that it's a tourist town and all, but it's a tad over priced. Look, I'd still recommend it based on the quality of the food and service, and it's definitely better than the three star rating it currently has, but keep in mind that you'll need to stop by the ATM before going in. read more

Very friendly and attentive service from every member of the staff. Cool, relaxed country bar atmosphere with comfortable indoor and outdoor seating with multiple opportunities for badlands views. They feature six beers on tap from Beaver Creek Brewery. The Pale Ale, Wheat, and Golden were all refreshing and satisfying. The onions rings are great and the house-made garlic aioli was amazing! Boots salad was fresh and delicious. Finally the fish basket was fantastic. The batter was very thin and crispy and not too overwhelming so the fish really had a chance to shine. The fries were excellently battered and crispy. The tartar sauce had so much dill, I was in ecstasy. read more

Spacious bar with friendly staff and very solid pub food. Best option in Medora for a drink and bite.

Surprising to find vegetarian tacos in a small town in ND. The fried brussel sprout tacos were delicious. I'm assuming the aioli wasn't vegan but could ask for the Brussels with salsa instead. Quick lunch, atmosphere was clean. There isn't many options for food in the area but this was the best place we ate in the area. read more

We stopped in for an early dinner after getting to town. What a fun place! We sat at the bar and enjoyed great service and fantastic food! Our burgers were on point and the drinks were nice and cold. Definitely recommend! read more

While staying in Medora we stopped by for dinner and loved it so much we came back a second and third time. I ordered the rib eye, it was tender and cooked medium rare as I like. My husband had the blue cheese burger. We both liked that the menu has a nice variety and the vegetable sides were fresh. The manager, Kyle, was very nice and wanted to make sure we were being well taken care of. The next day we both had the fish tacos, the fish was a generous portion and we both like the house made sauce. Being from San Diego, we are pretty picky about our fish tacos. Our last night in Medora we had their thin crust pepperoni pizza and pretzels with 3 different dips. Bree our server and bartender made awesome Manhattans. We also noticed a wide selection of high end Bourbons. We will save that for our next trip. read more

There are not many choices of restaurants in Medora, so this place stands out, but I feel like they could hold their own in any town. After a long day of sightseeing, I was able to eat a late dinner here (9:45 pm, kitchen closed at 10:00). The rib-eye ($32) was juicy and tender and well-flavored, and the side of spinach and blue cheese was surprisingly delish. The only thing keeping them from 5 stars was that the steak was a little thin and overcooked, but it still tasted great. The waitress was super friendly too. It was not too crowded for a late Sunday night, and the 80s music on blast was totally awesome! read more

After a good hour or two at Theodore National State Park my hubby and I decided to look somewhere local that served good buffalo burgers. I found this little gem on Yelp and said we're eating here. The staff at this busy little place was super nice. The decor and the atmosphere very casual and it was fun looking at everything they had on the walls. Our waiter Jake was very engaging and polite. He suggested the Southwest Egg Rolls as we were not sure what to try. It was a good choice they were great. I just wish we had, had time to enjoy them before our burgers arrive. I ordered a Spiked Arnold Palmer from the cocktail menu and my husband has a raspberry tea which we both enjoyed them. For our main meal hubby got the bison burger and I got the elk burger since we are from Texas we both asked for a Pepper Jack cheese. The burgers were so good definitely recommend. Then of course I had to try their pie it hit the nail on the whole meal for me. Really great place! read more
