One Legged Magpie is truly a gem and an unexpected culinary delight in Red Lodge. I wasn't quite sure what to expect as we walked in, but from the moment we entered, I knew we had stumbled onto something special. The interior was a little on the dark side, but the warm, inviting vibe pulled us in. We navigated our way to the main section, finding two wonderfully comfortable plush blue chairs next to the bar. The small details immediately caught my attention--each table adorned with fresh flowers in charming vases, adding a thoughtful and personal touch. Our server was genuinely sweet and attentive, setting the tone for a relaxed and enjoyable evening. I did notice they have an outdoor patio out back, but the atmosphere inside was too good to pass up. We began with the spring pea salad--an absolute standout--featuring creamy ricotta, crisp snap peas, fresh mint, and pistachios. It was fresh, crunchy, and beautifully balanced. We added a slice of toasted ciabatta bread, topping it with the salad to make our own bruschetta-style bites, which turned it into a perfect little dish. Next came the spice-roasted carrots, which were every bit as flavorful as they were beautiful, followed by the pork belly barbecue with a blueberry barbecue sauce. The sweetness of the sauce paired beautifully with the rich pork belly, creating a dish that was both comforting and elevated. For drinks, I had the Jayne Mansfield--a bright, refreshing, and totally unique cocktail--while my mom enjoyed the Lauren Bacall, which she loved. The restaurant's name comes from a fun and memorable story: the owners were discussing their plans to open the restaurant when they spotted a one-legged magpie. It stuck--and now it's part of the charm of the place. One Legged Magpie delivers on every level: warm atmosphere, thoughtful touches, incredible food, and a sense of place you won't soon forget. If you're in Red Lodge, this is a must-visit spot. read more

One Legged Magpie - A great waiter - New American Near Me - Red Lodge, Montana

Kat, the owner, treated my wife and me to an unexpectedly wonderful, fulfilling evening as we were celebrating our 49th anniversary! Never meeting us before, we were stunned with her gracefulness and attention to details of food, customer satisfaction and, perhaps, selfishly for me, a delicious dessert to finish the evening! We look forward to returning to the One Legged Magpie and enjoying the food and personal touch of Kat and her staff! Raymond W read more

Good happy hour they no longer do the two for one drinks, though they just have some drinks that you can get for eight dollars. All of the appetizers that were on the happy hour menu were great except for the pork belly which was extremely dry service and ambulance were great. read more

Great Vibe! My son loved the magherita pizza! Their drinks selection from wine to cocktails to zero proofs were fantastic and creative. We had a great time even with a three year old! read more

We had one of the the most relaxing and delicious evenings we've ever had at Magpie; it has a nice selection of beers and a creative cocktail menu. Travis was our main server and he couldn't have been more pleasant and attentive. After ordering a delicious tequila cocktail off the menu, I asked mixologist extraordinaire, Joe, to surprise me with one of his on-the-spot creations, which was excellent. The appetizers and lamb were perfection. Chef Charles, Tara, and the proprietor, Mike, all made the experience as well. Highly recommend! read more

The One Legged Magpie was recommended by a stranger we met in Cooke City. What an amazing find! We sat at the bar. Husband had carters magpie beer - which he enjoyed. I had a mock tail called Dram Mushroom Cola - not sweet and really nice. We shared the Ricotta Gnocchi - super delicious. The service was excellent and speedy, and the ambiance was so nice. Blues playing in the background and Smokey smell that whetted our appetites. Highly recommend! read more

This restaurant is one to visit! My husband and I had the pleasure of having a recent anniversary dinner there. To start with, it has such a cool vibe. It's dark and swanky and cozy and romantic. Our server, Travis, was an absolute gem. We followed his lead on drink recommendations, and he nailed it. He was friendly and outgoing. Both of the owners were circulating and both came over and visited with us, and they couldn't have been more welcoming. The food was amazing. My husband had the steak, and I had pizza, and the snap pea salad was to die for. It was such a great experience and such a fun night out. This review is coming from someone who never leaves reviews....so trust me.... try this place! read more

What a delicious dinner and excellent service! Bruce was our attentive and personable waiter. Mike, the owner, introduced himself and checked on us during our meal. What an amazing chef for this restaurant! I had the pesto fettuccine - artistically presented, great seasoning, and perfect amount for a meal. My husband had the pork chop and declared it the best he has ever eaten! We shared at butter lettuce salad that was so fresh and tasty! Highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Great food at a reasonable price. Service was excellent and vibe was nice. To go order was on time.

Went with friends on a whim. Quirky seating which us gals were ok with but the guys did not like. The couch with a low table was very difficult for 6' and taller guys. Our orders consisted of pizza a chicken sandwich and lamb dish. They liked the lamb ok but the two pizzas were charred black on the bottom with some charred black bubbles on the top. The chicken sandwich was very spicy. And a bit greasy ( deep fried? ). All in all not any of our type of food or atmosphere. The drinks were tasty but very small. After they added ice in a small glass you're lucky to get half a cup of liquid. Margarita was the smallest I ever saw. Whisky was mostly water. Might be for some but we will pass going back read more

Phenomenal drinks, excellent pizzas and beautiful atmosphere. This place is so awesome! They showcase live music and serve strong drinks. I had the pistachio pizza and it was so tasty!! The cocktails are delicious and the menu of options is creative. My group had the hummus, which was made in house, and the bacon blueberry pizza. I could've lived without that second pizza, but it was still good. The staff is very accommodating and friendly. There's a pool table here, too, so you can really spend some time. The big open space is nice for big groups or small, intimate get together a, alike. Definitely worth a visit, even if you're just grabbing a cocktail! read more

The ambiance is great. Very unique for Red Lodge. The cocktails were great, wine was good. Host gave a little condescending vibe when he found we didn't have a reservation. But squeezed us in. The menu is limited and the pizza was atrocious. read more

From the great atmosphere to the wait staff to most importantly the drinks and food-all top notch. We will be back and often!

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Live music was a plus. Dropped in to try their Southern Chicken Sando, outstanding ! Great garnishment and sauces! read more

We decided to try the One Legged Magpie for a small bite to eat. The atmosphere is eclectic. I made reservations but they weren't needed because it was a weekday and not ver full. We ordered two cocktails and a pizza. While the cocktails were good, the pizza not so much. Wood fire pizza and the crust was soggy...the sauce was very thin and not very seasoned wel. Just was sort of a greasy mess. The service was fine, but the food is sorely lacking. read more

Loved it! Food and drinks were so yummy. Comfortable ambiance. Would recommend to anyone.

I went here with my girlfriend because we needed to facetime our friend. We just wanted a nice spot with tea. The owner Kat was super friendly and found us a spot and brought us French pressed tea. I felt like I was in another land, it was so nice and the customer service was amazing. Thank you Kat for being so cool and fun! read more

Large venue owned and operated by a young local couple. The upstairs venue has been given a breath of fresh air. Large enough for big acts to come through in the future! All food from the kitchen is wicked good! Just Like their team, the menu is small but every offering is a winner. I think that their small menu is intentional as the dial in the bar program. All cocktails are perfectly made and they also have Coors, PBR, & Miller available for anybody who wants it! Selena was our server. She recommended the Coors Banquet. she said that is was what a lot of the locals drink. I asked her what the secret was to the Magpie Pizza as well as how long one had to live in Red Lodge before being considered a local. She told me that that was classified information and took a sip pf her Shirley Temple. The secret was rice flour, stone fire, and secret local water source. Perfect for Couple drinks with friends Da night Date night gone wrong , - # read more

The food is great, and so is the service. The staff does a great job taking care of their guests.

This is such a fun and comfortable place to check out in Red Lodge! The staff are very friendly and the owner Mike is a gem. I was indecisive about a drink and asked him to be creative. He nailed it based on a few preferences for what I do and don't like. My husband loved his old fashion. We enjoyed the free pool table and foosball games. Establishments like this are rare these days so read more

We ate at One-Legged Magpie on Labor Day following a spectacular backpacking trip off the Beartooth Highway. It could not have been a better punctuation to an amazing long weekend. The Fish of the Day (Salmon) over ratatouille was extraordinary. The butter lettuce salad, pizza, desert and even a simple margarita were all equally high quality and excellent. Kat and Mike are wonderful owners and hosts and the vibe translates throughout the staff and ambiance. I've worked at award-winning French bistros and One-Legged Magpie is on par with the best! read more

Played some pool and enjoyed some delicious craft cocktails. Can't wait to return! read more

A fun, hip and cool space. Margaritas are great, and an interesting bar menu. Service, excellent. Food is good too, although runs toward the spicy side. It's also a fantastic music venue with local musicians playing frequently. The music theme carries through to old album covers on the wall in rest rooms. Would love to see some of those songs on the restaurant's play list. Would complete the retro cool vibe. read more

Great music with simple apps and casual atmosphere. Love the larger venue upstairs when they have a well known band.

First time in Red Lodge, flying solo, checking out the camping and hiking scene. Popped into town for a quick bite and landed here. This place was fantastic! Service was quick, great attitudes by everyone and the lamb skewers were AMAZING!! Highly recommend! Zach was on top of things!! read more
