Ryan was our waitress, and she was just such a cool person. We really enjoyed everybody's positive energy and good vibes. Awesome food suggestions. We split a blueberry feta salad, which was delicious. My hamburger was tasty - made with Montana beef, topped with bacon and fried cheese curds. For $2 extra I got the garlic parmesan fries. Yum... My husband ordered the fish n chips, served crispy and hot, Sawtooth Ale battered cod. We washed everything down with a couple beers - namely their super popular Dirt Church hazy IPA and Huckleberry Honey Ale. On our way out, we bought a couple 6-packs for later; the brown haired lady that helped us at the bar was super cool and gave us a couple stickers. Overall, a great experience. Next time we pass through Hamilton, I hope to come back :)

Bitter Root Brewing is one of the older Montana breweries that I came across in my recent beer…read moreadventures 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.

Higherground Brewing was yet another Montana brewery I got to try and it is always so much fun…read morechecking these places off my list. For this brewery we enjoyed the Hula Hopped IPA. I have distanced myself from IPA'S for a short time as they are everywhere but in late Spring and early Summer I have gotten a hankering for them once again and so here comes the IPA'S rolling back. Flavors to have fun with in this flavor profile here are hoppiness, floral, some maltiness and a sweetness of a natural sort. It was very refreshing and the color of the beer is nice and bright. I suppose that description could also be added to the flavor profile as well. A nice introduction into this brewery and hopefully further beer experiences with Higherground in the future!

They were not like Midwestern style cheese curds, but they were very yummy with bacon and hot honey. The cottage pie had a nice flavor although a bit dry. We asked for a side of the poutine gravy and that did the trick. I'd never heard of a pickle chicken sandwich. Yes it sounds weird. See pic for menu description. It had very moist chicken, but I did not get a ton of flavor. After I added a side more of the chipotle sauce it was more tasty. The shoestring fries were nicely seasoned. And we liked their Scotch Ale better than the Cold Smoke. We'll definitely be back to try more things up from the menu.

The 1/2 order of Keg Nachos is absolutely massive! It could easily feed four people. There were…read moreonly two of us, and it barely looked like we had even made a dent in the plate. The nachos are ginormous and loaded with toppings. The flavor was pretty good, which it should be considering the price, and there was definitely no shortage of food. Service was also pretty good during our visit. The restaurant was fairly quiet and almost empty while we were there, so it's hard to say how the service would be during a busier time. Overall, a solid experience and definitely worth knowing about if you're looking for a seriously oversized plate of nachos.
