The Burger Dive Grand — Restaurant in Billings

I heard about this new location opening up from a friend, so I decided to go try it. I walked in and got seated at the bar promptly. The drink order was quick, as well as the time it took for the food to come out. Once I received my food I dug into the sweet potato fries ( my go to at every restaurant that offers them ) and was quickly disappointed. It tasted like they were either overcooked or fried in old/dirty oil. I got pretty bummed thinking this is the most expensive bad meal I’ve ever had. Once I finished my fries I dug into the burger. Going in I had low expectations due to the fry quality but I can say this was one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. The taste was amazing, perfectly cooked, juicy and the bun felt fresh but firm enough to not squish in your hands. Once I was finished I started looking at their milkshake menu, but after around 10 minutes of nobody coming by or saying anything I figured maybe another time. Most of the employees seem to be just getting on shift and the owner or manager I don’t know which one, seemed to be trying to get people to do the things they were supposed to. Seems pretty normal for a new location opening so I wasn’t too upset. My overall bill for the burger and fries and a Coke Zero was $25.00 before tip. I figure I could go get a decent steak somewhere with that price point and the fries won’t be poor quality. With that being said I won’t be back for a meal but maybe a milkshake and if they ever get more drink selection I could try it out. New locations always take time to iron out so patience is needed...

We arrived here about 30 minutes before they closed. We generally don't go anywhere writing an hour of someplace closing. Wife's weird rule. But we did. Smelled good as soon as we got out of car. Place was almost packed. Entire menu looked appetizing. We ordered food to go but ended up eating it at the bar top instead since some space opened up and seemed more appealing than eating in the car. The couple next to us said they'd been there a couple times and loved it. I ordered a mushroom burger and wife ordered a green chili burger. We both enjoyed them. The homemade fries were delicious too.

They have almost half a menu of specialty milkshakes and they must be good because the entire time we were there they were making milkshakes nonstop. Sometimes two at a time.

We will...

First time eating at the burger dive almost everything was great. They accommodated my gluten free needs and the huckleberry milkshake was delicious! I was there with my brother who loves spicy food and he ordered the “thunderbolt” burger. Unfortunately, it was so incredibly spicy with such an excess of ghost pepper sauce that it was not edible. We ended up asking for a different burger which he did enjoy. It’s important to note, my brother has ghost pepper sauce at home and eats it regularly. The amount used on his burger at burger dive was not a proportionate amount for a regular sized burger. That burger needs to come with a warning and perhaps serve it with the ghost pepper sauce on the side so people can adjust the amount...
