Blues BBQ — Restaurant in Billings

I really had to wrestle between 4 or 5 because I love alot about this place but there are things that get to me. The biggest I would say are hours of operation. Now I understand they are small and that family run kinda place, but boy man I have had to turn around several times remembering all too late that they are Closed on Sundays(don't mean any disrespect to those whole hold any day in reverence.) Or the times I arrived too late because they close at 8pm and in summer daylight 8pm feels like dinner to me. Like I said such minor things, I don't know why but their bakes beans are the only side I like or they have soda in cans and they are in a convenience store but I can't get the soda I would chose 1st-4th. But I go back to the fact I go there for BBQ not ranch pasta salad, RIGHT!? So they earn a 5 star because I Love ALL of their BBQ'd items, tender, juicy, flavor depth, perfectly smoked...I buy their house bbq sauce by the bottle and pass on the free side cups, they are a great staff, will take wierd, custom orders and even if (to me) it's costly $$($?) it's reasonable for the commitment of time required I...

I already knew Montana was king, for years Ive said the best bbq Ive had in my life was in Great Falls. I was skeptikal when i arrived, its connected to a gas station after all. I ordered the small rib plate and the brisket and smoked turkey combo. I actually ate in order of greatness coincidentally...the slaw, nothing special, the potato salad, yumm love eggy potatoy joy. Then the beans extra good big hunks of pork sweet and thick. Then the brisket, never had brisket like this not overdone with some pink so thick and juicy. The turkey, perfectly smoked juicy and a joy to eat. Then the ribs.... My oh my never ever have i had ribs like this. At first glance they seem charred snd look dry. Then you bite in and its so tender moist and just the right spice rub on it. You know its real goodness when they serve all their meats unsauced, thats confidence in your perfectly cooked offerings. I would have paid 100 for this it was that good. I feel deeply saddened that i live...

Great find, hands down the best BBQ in Montana thus far. From the Super friendly and knowledgeable staff to the clean dining room, this place is all around a great find. Don't let the fact that they are located inside a gas station fool you. They have their own dining area that is as clean and stocked as any stand alone establishment I've ever been to. The tri-tip was cooked just right with a really good smoke ring and delicious bark. The shredded pork is fantastic, juicy tender and really tasty. (Going for the shredded pork sandwich on my next visit). The Baked beans were good along with the coleslaw. If you are looking for a great BBQ that reminds me of the quality of meat back in South Florida give these guys a shot I promise you will not be disappointed. No less than 10 local hard working gentlemen purchased food to go while I ate and I bet they don't settle for mediocre direct BBQ for lunch. Overall a...
