For full transparency I need to say my husband and I are from the Deep South we don't bleed red, we bleed barbecue. My husband wanted bbq, in Bozeman. I have rarely seen a menu where I wanted to order 1 of each but believe me this one brought my accent out. Out of the gate, very quick seating, excellent service! Started with Brussels Sprouts with God's favorite flavoring bacon, with Parmesan, with...sit it down Alabama white sauce. Now, I met Alabama white where it was invented, I love it, and this combination will make Brussels sprouts famous. But, I had to try the hush puppies. Now, real southerners know a good hush puppy is the holy grail of delicious. I'm telling you, these remind me of sitting next to the 'Hooch. Fluffy, crispy, dark...I'm gonna grab another one before this review ends. I chose the fried catfish, Mac & Cheese with creamed corn. Now, I tried to stop eating the cornbread crust and came close to success. The fish was perfection. There are fish coming here to rise above their station! The sides were uniquely and magically delicious but I have to talk about my husband's food. He had brisket, ribs, Cole slaw and smoked green beans. I've never seen this man not clean his plate, but everything was so generous his full meter got pegged. Tons went home, everything was so elevated the Cole slaw, everything. I think the white bread was special (it was hella) fresh. Now, here's a fact, all tables are high or picnic style. I love the idea for a group, but I would have appreciated a back. At a table that my legs wouldn't fall asleep at. If that's a deal breaker for you, order it to go. Pardon me while I wipe the drool off. Enjoy, this place is beyond good! read more

I admit that takeout is not as good being at the restaurant so my review is not completely fair. Here we go, however, with my review. The brisket sandwich was ok but not great. The brisket was dry and could've used a little more sauce to moisten it up. The mac & cheese was, well, it was. They use shells instead of macaroni for the pasta, and no distinct flavor. Speaking of which, the side was the creamed corn. Yuck. read more

The Mac and cheese and green beans were great but the meat was ok. We were really looking forward to it but it was mid

Located in a big building with lots of other choices, but I picked the right one! As you enter you are immediately greeted! The big bay doors were open offering a nice breeze. I opted for the Redneck Charcuterie, which includes jalapeño cheddar sausage, smoked chicken salad, and pimento cheese. It was a nice little snack! Service was great, everyone was friendly read more

We had a party of 25 - Bourbon knocked it out of the park! EVERYTHING was amazing. From getting reservations - communication with Jay , the wait staff was quick and on top of everything. We chose the family style meal that we pre ordered with appetizers. So easy - and the variety satisfied everyone. After there was line dancing! We have gone here many times with larger parties and have never been disappointed! read more

We were on vacation and happened to find this spot on Yelp and it definitely didn't disappoint. Everyone's meal was so flavorful, perfectly cooked and delicious. We started with fried pickles they we the best ones I've had they come with a green chili we asked for a side of ranch and delicious combo. I ordered a huckleberry mule so refreshing and tasty. For dinner I got a chopped brisket sandwich with fries and coleslaw very flavorful and hit the spot I had enough leftover to take home. Great spot we happened upon! Service was very friendly and answered all our questions and offered her favorite suggestions very personable and sweet. read more

Bourbon - Barbeque Near Me - Bozeman, Montana

I appreciate a cool menu and the vibes of this venue. One challenge is seating as we are senior citizens and they have mostly high-top tables. We took the end of the large picnic table with wooden benches. I tried the CBC cocktail which was very tasty. The Hubbs and I shared the Brussels sprouts, the burnt ends, and the redneck charcuterie platter. I liked the homemade pimento cheese and crackers. And the smoked chicken salad (but I would have preferred the chicken cut into smaller pieces). Everything else was pretty good. We took a lot home for a snack later. Nice place. read more

Quick Birthday dinner before a concert that starts @8 Made a 7:00pm reservation. In the comments said 3 adults 2 toddlers Checked in 6:55pm. They expected 3 adults but not the toddlers and that it changes the table situation. I told them I said it in the comments of the res and they said they don't look at those because it's at the bottom of the page. @ 7:05 seated. @ 7:20 had to go up and tell the host that we still haven't seen our server and that tables that came in after us have been visited multiple times. @7:25 waitress walks up like no big deal and takes our drink orders. @7:35 drinks show up and takes our food orders. Waitress kept bringing my friend beers but the rest of us who just had soda never saw a refill. @8:30 nothing came so we asked to get cashed out @8:35 owner came out and comped our meal and brought out our food in a to-go bag and apologized. We left there feeling a lot better than we were. Was bad but it could have been worse. read more

Bourbon - Menu 1/2026 - Barbeque Near Me - Bozeman, Montana

Arrived at Bourbon after a 2 1/2 hour drive from Great Falls on our way to the Bozeman International Airport. We arrived around 2 PM and found the restaurant almost vacant. That wasn't bad at all, because we got first rate service by Madeline. My wife ordered the pulled pork sandwich with a side of fries and I ordered bourbon burger, a smash burger with pimento cheese and barbecue sauce and a side of Mac. Madeline did a great job consistently checking up on us and the food was perfect. I will definitely try this spot again. The next time I come through Bozeman. read more

Dropped in with about 8 friends on a Wednesday afternoon. Wings are on sale on Wednesdays. They honor their name with an extensive Bourbon menu. I came here to try some Burnt Ends but they didn't have any (they had been out for a few days). I liked the breading on their fried pickles. The Nashville Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich with added slaw was good but a bit messy (definitely more peppery than hot). The Brisket Ruben paired with their BBQ sauce was a slam dunk! Smoked green beans were excellent. Collard greens were okay. Fries were crispy but average. I would recommend this place. Lily, our server was really nice. The space seems great for parties of every size. I would definitely come back if I were in Bozeman, MT. read more

Ok, the service at the Bourbon is GREAT! The wait staff was very attentive and nice, BUT...they were out of pretty much out of everything on the menu, BUT, they took AMAZING care of us by comping the bill as it was quite a long time to get served as well. Normally I would not be so accommodating for late food or no food or both, but they were amazing to us and we will definitely be back. Thanks so much Bourbon staff you saved a potential bad review and turned it into a great one, this is how restaurants should operate! Thank you!!! read more

I stopped by Bourbon on a Friday night for some take out. This place was hoppin', looked like every table was taken, but there were a few seats at the bar. A country band was gonna take the stage around 10p it seemed. There wasn't really a host stand, so I was a bit confused where to order. The bartender said I could order with him, but he was sort of new so couldn't answer any of my menu questions. Literally none of them. I got pulled pork with Cole slaw and Mac n cheese (with bacon bits) for $17, and ordered a rotating sour (kiwi & strawberry) on tap to drink while I waited. Food took about 20 minutes to come out. Luckily I checked the bag because they gave me collard greens instead of Cole slaw and no utensils. The pulled pork was ok, I've had better. Some of it was tender but some was a bit more chevy/crispy. It was also a bit dry, even when I added a side of BBQ on top. The Mac n cheese was ok, shells were tender but the bacon didn't do much for me and the cheese was a bit watered down. I guess the Cole slaw was the best part of the meal (and the sour beer at the bar). In short, lots of ups and downs. It was decent enough to try something else in the future, but won't have me rushing back for more. read more

Hmmm....hard to judge because I'm not really a bourbon person. The service was spot on and they also have a very nice beer and wine selection, as well as tons of bourbons and whiskies. We also ordered food as well. The food was just ok. The nachos were very disappointing with some kind of weird cheese on top, which I finally identified as white American. Ick. The Mac and cheese was definitely the best food item on the menu. The drinks were awesome. My wife and her friend both had the smoked Old fashions. They were quite tasty. Again, excellent wait staff. read more

Came for lunch at a weird time (3:00) on a Sunday. From the beginning they were off to a bad start. Bartender sat us with not even a hello. Ordered 3 meat bbq plate. There was about 3 other people inside eating so not sure why it took 40 mins for my food to come out. All bbq was cold, the brisket was dry, sausage was hard and dry and the ribs were okay but no flavor. Potato salad had zero flavor and baked beans tasted like bush beans out of a can. As a bbq lover I was so disappointed. I'm pretty sure the food was cooked Saturday and I've was eating leftover bbq heat up in microwave...wish there was something positive I could say but I've got nothing. Won't be back...not even worth a second chance. read more

This was a cute bbq and bourbon place. We needed to eat and this looked promising on Yelp. We arrived during w hour but ordered off the regular menu. I got the 2 meat combo and my son got the bbq sandwich with brisket. The ribs were my son's favorite and we ordered a hh order of them after he realized how good they were. My side of Mac and cheese and greens were ok. The Mac and cheese was creamy and had no melted cheese on top which I would have liked. The greens were good but very vinegary. Fries were good. Cute place to stop at if your in Bozeman. read more

I am from out of town and came up here for the Spartan race. After our hike of the Drinking Horse Trail, we were hungry and decided to go to Bourbon because we wanted to try something new that we do not have in Reno. There were three of us and one got the charcuterie board, brusselsprouts, another got the burnt ends and I got the smoked wings. The food was delicious, it had flavor and the service was amazing, very attentive. The atmosphere was hands down the best because they have an indoor seating, a middle area seating and an outdoor seating. We got some sun and some A/C. It also wasn't busy when we went as well. I highly recommend this place to anyone going to Montana. *******Side Note***** - if you do plan to go on the weekends because you want to try the BBQ items, I suggest going at 4 PM when it starts because it goes fast! read more

Their smoker was on the fritz so offerings were limited. This is a bar with above average food. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Catfish was tasty maybe a bit too much breading, but not bad. Wings were above average. Prices were fair for food, service and ambiance. I would go back to try the brisket and ribs. read more

Dry rub wings were fantastic. Bartenders were great. As someone from Bourbon Country, re-look at your bourbon/whiskey list. There were a few in the wrong category. Markers Mark French Oaked 46 is not a 2nd Cask Bourbon. All Angels Envy ARE 2nd cask finished, whether it's a Rye or Bourbon. read more

Stopped off for lunch in Bozeman from a long road trip to Glacier. I had the Redneck Charcuterie and my son had the Bourbon burger. The Charcuterie in particular is superb- tasty sausage (kind of Texas style). The best part is the chicken salad and the pimento cheese. Perfect lunch. Check it out! read more

Came in to Bourbon for a dinner one evening. I'm a master certified BBQ judge, so I'm extremely picky about the BBQ that I eat. To summarize: this will satisfy 75-80% of people who decide to dine here. Burnt ends were tasty. They could have had a little more of the fat rendered out, but all in all a good offering. Ribs were solid. I prefer individual bones versus a three-bone presentation, but that's just me. Sausage was EXCELLENT! Easily the highlight of the meal. Brisket was also solid. I asked for moist brisket. Turkey was extremely disappointing -- decent flavor, but it was drier than a popcorn fart. Collards were bland. Cheese grits were good flavor wise but a bit grainy. Service was adequate. Not outstanding but not poor. Ambiance was very cool. Overall a 3.75/5. But it gets rounded up on here. read more

Worst bbq I've ever had. Turkey was between cold and room temp, and super dry. Pulled pork had un-rendered fat that was hard and the meat had a really weird flavor, also dry. The baked beans were undercooked, but had good flavor. The green beans were also undercooked, the seasoning was clumpy, and there was no "juice". The service was good, and the waitress was very friendly and happy. The drinks were also pretty good too. read more

Sadly, today I have to update my review. Today was not 5 stars. We ordered the deviled eggs to start. They were rubbery and small, tiny portions. Three eggs for 15.00 should be hand peeled boiled eggs, these seemed like they were pre-boiled and bought from the store. Nothing great. I get that eggs are 8.00 a dozen right now, but if quality can't be provided, just take it off the menu all together. I ordered the turkey sandwich. There really wasn't any flavor. Just bland. We also ordered the fried chicken, collard greens and elotes salad. The fried chicken was dry. Even the thigh meat. Super disappointed. The elotes would be so so much better if it was warm, like you'd get it down south. The mac and cheese was really good! I'm hoping this is a one off situation and that next time it has improved back to what it was when they opened. read more

If I could give 0 stars, I would. Last night, we attended the Alpenglow Festival and decided we would go to Bourbon to have some appetizers and drinks. We sat at the bar for a minimum of 15 minutes without ever being acknowledged. It was by no measure busy, even for a Friday night. The bartender that appeared to be serving our side of the bar actively ignored us the whole time. As someone who has worked in the restaurant industry for 20 years, I try to be understanding of circumstances, but there were no circumstances that could ever justify this poor of service. Even a table touch or an, "I'll be with you shortly," would have sufficed. Not everyone is capable of providing customer service, but Helen Keller would have done a better job. That is just embarrassing. read more

This is a great place in Bozeman. It's in a great building that has a bar right across the way. Lots of seating, love the outdoor/indoor options.

I have lived in the south for over 30 years. Ii feel I'm an expert on brisket and baby back ribs. This is some of the best I've had. The brisket is flavorful, lean, and just SPICY enough to get your attention. A nice blend of Carolina and Texas. The ribs were incredible m, with the meat in between the ribs the most I have seen ever. No excess fat. Moist and fall off the bone finish. The sauce was tangy and not too spicy. Again, perfect. I ordered coleslaw which had a mayonnaise base which I'm not a fan of but if you are in sure you will find it to your liking. The beer was cold and delicious. The service was friendly and efficient. The ambiance was very cool. When in Bozeman, Bourbon is a must. read more

LOVE this spot. Are here twice on a recent trip: 1) enjoyed their happy hour - get everything! It's the comfiest food for cold winter nights. The hot toddy w cardamom and the smoked green beans stood out as did the hush puppies. 2) popped in for some local live music and really enjoyed the local's vibe. This restaurant in a residential edge of town and felt very cozy. The drinks are tasty, the team friendly, and the tuesday-night tunes made for a very good time read more

Amazing place here in Bozeman! We came all the way from Hawaii. Such delicious food. For apps, we got the Burnt Ends (OMG, drool!) and the fried Pickles (also damn delicious & that dipping sauce!!).
