    Lamb Sliders, Tuna Nachos, Bone Marrow
    Heath H.

    While on vacation we drove the Beartooth Highway, and hit Red Lodge about 7pm. We looked online and found Prerogative Kitchen and the menu sounded unique (tired of the same old things!) so we decided to give it a try. Lots of choices that sounded good. My wife and I started with the tuna nachos ( which I admit was scary for me ordering tuna in Montana). The nachos were excellent. Very good. My wife ordered the lamb sliders and said they were some of the best cooked lamb she has had. Perfectly cooked. I could not pass up the Bone marrow. When the plate came I saw 1/2 a bone with about 12 pieces of baguette. I thought for $16 that was too high, and then as I was eating, I realized that was not baguettes on the bottom but another 1/2 of bone marrow. And it was so tasty and so filling. Loved every bite. If you make it into Red Lodge I recommend this cozy, unique place. Glad we found it.

    Great food and nice service. We stopped by prerogative kitchen after horse riding in red lodge and were not disappointed! This restaurant does not take reservations and was packed, however we were able to be seated immediately at the front windows. There is no outdoor seating, so beware if you're concerned for covid. The decorations inside are quirky and has a nice ambience. The menu rotates and you order at the counter for the food to be brought to you. There were also lots of vegetarian options. Because the items mostly consist of tapas/ small plates, the cashier also takes the time to separate the food into different "courses" if desired. Water is in self serve carafes. We ordered and shared food between two people, and felt that it was filling.

    Summer salad

    The Brussels sprouts are probably the best I've ever eaten and I've eaten a lot. They have a buffalo sauce on them but it is house made and it is lighter than other buffalo sauce Brussels. The decor is funky and fun. Love it. I've never seen a wall decorated with baking tins but way cool. We liked it so much that we ate there two days in a row. We tried the risotto sliders, summer salad, bison ravioli, steak, and the pot trio. The menu/ordering is on the different side. The menu is on a board and you order at the counter - not anything bad just different- probably helps with hiring.

    The best food we found in all of Red Lodge. Awesome atmosphere, great people, reasonable prices, big servings and amazing food. The smothered fries were out of this world good, and the cod was perfect, with a wonderful homemade tartar sauce. Highly recommend making this a stop during your visit!

    Super cute place! Over in Nye visiting a friend and she knows the owner (January J says hi!) Brunch menu, fun drinks, and six out-of-towners = this will be epic! Brunch burger (bunless) with the strawberry side salad for me. The decor is super fun- their website says most of it was thrifted. Fits in beautiful with their mission and vision to be eco-friendly and close to earth. Lots of original artwork (for sale) along the walls. We're finding more and more unique details the longer we sit here (and drink!). The grapefruit mimosa is delightfully refreshing. The mood at the table is fun and enjoyable- the food has arrived and we have everything from my burger to pork belly to chicken and waffles. The rosemary maple syrup is almost a religious experience... we're trying to fingers out how we can get a gallon to go with us back to the cabin! Totally a five star atmosphere and the food is delicious!

    Full menu

    We had an incredible experience at Prerogative! The ambiance is warm and cozy, not super fancy but a step up from typical mountain town restaurants. We tried a bunch of the appetizers -- the stars of the show were the bone marrow and the pimento dip. The top entrees at the table were the Hot Chicken Sammie and the Winter Salad. Finally do NOT skip the Sticky Toffee Pudding. It was unreal. We will definitely be back!

    Shrimp & Grits + pork belly

    Having driven about two hours outside of Yellowstone's northeast entrance, and conquered the just opened Beartooth highway... I realized two things. 1. Holy s**t is that an amazing drive, and 2. Holy s**t I'm hungry. Feeling as if I was in the middle of nowhere, my GPS showed a little town called Red Lodge. It was only maybe 10 miles away, and I knew it was the closest chance to get gas and something to eat. Turns out Red Lodge is a full on town, and a pretty gnarly one at that. After hopping on the YelpMachine™, I landed on PREROGATIVE Kitchen. I slipped in around 2:30, a little worried because they closed at 3pm. They were as nice as could be, making us feel extremely welcome, even closing in 30 minutes. We were told they were doing brunch only currently, and turned us around to see a menu on the wall. It's an "upscale counter service" place, where you order and pay, and they bring out the goodies when ready. We got two dishes: The eggs Benedict with smoked trout, and the shrimp and grits with pork belly. Now I don't know if it's cause we had hiked all morning and we're just famished, or if the food was just that good. But it was a 9/10 across the board. One of the chefs was a nice Englishman from the midlands, who was making me delicious brunch in the middle of nowhere Montana. That actually made it all the more unique. Great food. Great people. Great experience. If you find yourself hungry in Red Lodge, don't hesitate even for a moment. It's your PREROGATIVE, you can do what you want to do. (Sorry, had to get a Dad joke in there. If you're over 40, you get it!)

    See all

    Unusual fare for Red Lodge- but a welcome addition. Here's to an ever- expanded menu to keep us coming as regulars a "must try" .

    Great food! Nachos were delicious. Salmon and steak were both fresh and had great taste.
