Went for the Testicle Festival over Memorial Day weekend. Ate in the restaurant and although we had a long wait because of so many ordering food from the outside area, staff was very nice. Food was awesome. Had the ribeye and the chicken fried steak. Both were large portions and we had plenty leftover. read more

Great spot after coming off the river! Super authentic western bar with an adjacent dining room. Small touches such as horse shoe coat racks helped great a fun atmosphere. We sat there as I was with my family. Large portions and a great selection of beers. The BLTTA and fried chicken sandwich were both huge and could easily be split. Tasty onion rings and wings. Soup of the day was chili. Excellent fast service and friendly staff. read more

Overall good dinner for the area. We had the salmon- tasty but portion was very small for the price, ribeye- poor quality meat, lack seasoning & lots of grizzle. Old Saloon Burger- was good. Bison burger- wasn't good, meat didn't seem fresh. Our server- older female British accent was great. Attentive, quick. read more

What a cool place this is! We stopped by after a long day of fly fishing and hiking in the park and couldn't have been happier with our experience. I tried the elk and hubby got a steak. It was my first time trying elk and it was absolutely delicious! Everyone was attentive and friendly even though it was super busy. If you're in Emigrant, MT, you have to go to the Old Saloon. read more

Stopped in here on our way back from Chico Hot Springs. Atmosphere, service and food was really good.

Great, friendly service! Loved seeing so many people hanging out at the bar talking - definitely wish I lived here so I could hang out with them. Fried pickles were good but the sauce.... incredible. Burger was very juicy and salad was to be expected with a spinach salad. Will be back when I can! read more

The Old Saloon located in Emigrant, Montana right in the heart of Paradise Valley. This Saloon is the quintessential vibe of my perception of Montana. I loved loved loved it here. The Saloon is of the Old West vibe, down to the swing doors, inside it's full of old wood, mounted animals that are present in the area. The staff and the customers were so friendly and eager to learn our story as well as sharing theirs from years of living in this area of Montana. It really was a great experience and one of the highlights of our trip. It's also located about 40 minutes from The North Entrance to Yellowstone National Park but unfortunately for their business this access to Yellowstone is currently closed due to the recent flooding in June. It has really affected their bottom dollar. Hopefully they will sustain until the reopening. If you are in the area, go in and support this fabulous authentic family owned restaurant. read more

After experiencing several meals in the Yellowstone area that took an hour for our food to arrive (and up to 2 hours total from start to finish), it was refreshing to come here and receive quick service. Our waitress was extremely friendly and helpful, giving us recommendations and accommodating our requests. Soup and salad came out within minutes of ordering. I had a spinach salad with bacon, dried, dried cranberries, toasted walnuts, and shallot vinaigrette - it was refreshing and delicious. My parents got a chicken enchilada soup that was seasoned perfectly. For my entree, I got chicken fried steak with a side of Mac & cheese. It was good! The breading was crispy, it was a big portion size, and it went well with the gravy. The Mac & cheese was rich and creamy. I also tried a bit of my mom's sirloin, which was cooked medium just as she ordered it. The seasoning was spot on. And finally, their special of the day was Rocky Mountain "oysters" (go ahead and Google it). My brother was feeling adventurous and wanted to try them - I decided to give it a shot too. It wasn't really gross like I was afraid it might be...a little chewy, but it was fried and came with buffalo sauce, so that probably helped. Not going to go out of my way to order them in the future, but at least I can say I tried them! This restaurant has a cool Wild West vibe to it with great food and service. I highly recommend it! read more

On a recent visit to Montana we were staying at an Airbnb not too far from Old Saloon and decided to eat out on our last night. The restaurant and bar are connected but have a wall that separates them from each other so you aren't dining in the bar. We started with some cocktails and had the huckleberry margarita and mojito. Both were a bit sweet but more tart and overall really good! During our trip I'd sampled a lot of elk and had to give their elk meatloaf a try with the mushroom gravy and a side of mac and cheese. The mac was decent but nothing spectacular and the elk meatloaf was a little bit burned on the sides, but what completely saved the day was the mouthwatering mushroom gravy I sampled. Now you may be thinking that gravy is gravy, but I'm from the South and know good gravy. This was some of the best that I've ever had before. It was rich but not too heavy and just incredible. I would highly recommend making a stop at Old Saloon for a drink and meal, but definitely get the mushroom gravy!! read more

This place is great. The restaurant side had good food.. The meatloaf and mushroom gravy was amazing. The prices were reasonable and portions are large. After eating we ventured over to the bar/saloon side and had a great time. It was super packed but both the clientele and the staff were super friendly and everyone was having a great time. The live music was great would love to go back when the outside area is open! read more

Slightly above average food, average service, nestled in a super cool decor in a this old-school style saloon in the middle of nowhere south of Livingston. Absolutely nothing wrong with this joint - except not a single member of the staff was wearing a mask, and per Montana regulations during COVID they're supposed to be wearing masks from what I've been told. Aside from the mask disappointment, it's totally a decent stop. It's not over the top and going to wow you, but it's a good dinner with tasty drinks, and you're not going to leave disappointed. Solid place overall. read more

We stopped here on our way out of the Paradise Valley. Heard a lot about it and had to experience it. It's was great, FYI, it's called the Old Saloon for a reason. Been around since 1902. So if you're looking for some fancy remade place, this might not be for you. The bartenders were great, and they recommended we come back Sunday for the official summer opening which included a concert. So we did, and even though they were jam packed, she recognized us and went out of her way to talk to us. Cheap drinks, great atmosphere! This is a must to grab a drink at if you're out this way read more

Huckleberry cocktails were yummy. Salads were amazing. We had the house salad and spinach salad to start. For entrees we had the pork flatiron steak with baked potato and elk meatloaf with mashed potatoes. Pork was scrumptious. Perfectly seasoned. Elk meatloaf was flavored well but slightly over cooked. Will go back if I'm ever out this way read more

The Old Saloon is an absolute must. What a surprise, my husband and I were staying up the road in a cabin for a few days visiting Yellowstone and didn't feel like cooking so we went to Old saloon fully expecting just bar bites and a bit of nostalgia. We were wonderfully surprised, their wine list rivals some places we go to in DC and for half the price, the food is fantastic and the service even better. Maggie took wonderful care of our family and we enjoyed the atmosphere and friendly guests. Definitely make sure to stop by for dinner, what an unexpected treat. read more

We have heard about this place the entire time we have been here, but unfortunately Tuesday and Wednesday they only serve food until 7pm but inly the lunch menu. So that put a bummer on us, but we called ahead from our drive home from the park and managed to get a bite for take out. I got a Caesar salad with grilled chicken and my fiancé wanted the elk meatloaf but that wasn't offered today, so instead he got the BLTTA, which was still good. I really wanted to give this place a 4 star review only because its just a cool spot and with some colorful history. We will try another day when we can really experience to whole old saloon feel. read more

Great place to eat out side of Yellowstone. Old Saloon was able to accommodate our large group. Recommend it!

Best Old Fashion I have had hands down. Kelley knocked it out of the park. The bar atmosphere is Montana thru and thru. read more

The people in my party had the salmon, the chicken fried steak, and the chicken with pasta. They all reported the food was good. Unfortunately, I chose the elk meatloaf and it was cremated. I don't even know why they put it on a plate and served it to me it was so black. The mushroom gravy was delicious, but an ocean of mushroom gravy wouldn't have saved that bison meat loaf. I should have sent it back; I'm thinking that the winter bourbon smash which was excellent affected my judgment read more

History, charm, Montana decor, solid food served with friendly promptness--all not available in Gardiner. Large portions (steak promised 8 oz was easily 12 oz plus tender and flavorful) plus huge baked potato and large fresh spinach salad with walnuts, cranberries, blue cheese and tasty vinaigrette for $24. I've had a very sub par burger and fries in a basket for more than that in Gardiner. Pretty drive between and watched a herd of 30 elk, so your choice is clear! read more

They have created a great atmosphere that makes you never want to leave. read more

The prime rib was a special for Easter Sunday and it was absolutely fabulous. The bake spud and the Cesar salad complimented perfectly. Try a Neptune's Rye Ale. It was great. Definitely stop by if your on your way in to Yellowstone or Sage Lodge. Definitely a no regrets strategy. Took the cherry pie to go. Looking forward to it as a late night snack in the room. read more
