Mountains Walking Brewery — Restaurant in Bozeman

I have a strange feeling that many of these five star ratings are just Californians used to the worst service ever. The entire parking lot was full of their license plates.

Not sure why breweries decide to do this thing where they seat more people than they can handle because it negatively affects the experience of the customers, at the very least mine.

My server took a while to come over to us first, perhaps 5-10 minutes and then proceeded to confuse me into ordering a Caesar salad as a full entree when I asked for an Italian sub... I don't understand this. It was clear if she was trying to suggest a salad to me to give me a small or side type of thing. Then she forgets my Italian sub I watched her write on her little post-it. As someone who has worked in the restaurant business, who writes orders on post-it notes?

When the pretzel came, no napkins were provided either. It took awhile to get that under control. Not even plates to share it.

The server was quite inept and failed to come over to us multiple times even with empty glasses clearly visible. She looked over maybe 5-10 times and came over 2-3. It almost felt disrespectful and rude. It took us quite a long time to even get a bill to leave. When given the bill, she said she'd bring the toast machine over then proceeded to put it down somewhere and forget about us again even glancing at the check on the table and still not coming over to cash us out.

The ambiance was alright I guess but nothing special. I'd recommend skipping this place and trying somewhere that values your time and money.

The tip was very low. This was one of the worst experiences I've ever had with a brewery/restaurant and it's not an exaggeration. Just dazed workers with no care in the world. My senile grandma can remember orders, move faster and such way better than that.

My tab doesn't even have the server's name on it which is a shame. Check #68, July 4th 2025.

In response to the business’s reply: I’m not sure why this business is making me seem like the unreasonable one here. I’m not even that stingy about service and I usually let a lot of things go. The business does not even offer me to contact them to resolve the problem suggesting to me they are only trying to improve optics.

The waitress was very attentive to every other group she had giving them second and third drinks, boxes and checking in on them multiple times.

The waitress informed me that the kitchen was backed up as well so when the salad came (large) I just thought in the end I’ll just take it home and wait for my Italian sub to not cause a problem. After a while, it became obvious to me it was forgotten.

If my waitress refused to come over to me multiple times, even after I waved which was rude but had no choice, why would I want to try and resolve this Italian sub order issue? It would have just wasted my time more because she refuses to come back. There is no resolution that would have given me back my time and money or is this business suggesting I would have been refunded? I highly doubt that and would have taken a whole other hour. Just what I would want after an already terrible experience: paying for my Italian sub and waiting another hour to get it.

Maybe it was because we were in rodeo outfits or something? I wouldn’t be surprised. My friend had AR-15s on his shirt and I had a cowboy hat on. Perhaps there was some cultural tension but I’m speculating. I don’t know what the problem was genuinely but she seemed fine handling every other table. I watched her go up to her other tables multiple times before she even looked over at us to then ignore us. She also had to walk by us to get to the other tables and wouldn’t even glance at us. I had an empty glass on my table for like 20 minutes which she looked at multiple times…

Waiting 30+ minutes to get her to give us the check so we can leave is unacceptable by any industry standard.

Safe to say, I’m not coming to this place ever again even if you paid me and I suggest...

I’m a type one diabetic and I follow a ketogenic lifestyle - it can be hard to eat out and find things that won’t spike my blood sugar. I talked with Sarah before going in and she gave some suggestions, plus I was able to look at the ingredients lists for all of their food once we got there. I ended up ordering: Beery-Mary The brewery’s take on a Bloody Mary, this has the profile of a red beer, with a smoky body and robust flavoring of jalapeño, paprika, and lime. It is full of depth and taste; no sip went unnoticed. Beer Steamed Mussels & Bread The beer sauce the mussels come in is absolutely delicious. It is full of onion, tomato, garlic, and finely chopped kale. My family ended up dipping their bread in it after I had eaten the mussels. The bread that comes with is a large serving and it’s delicious (I tried one piece). However, if I ordered this again I would switch out my bread for a side salad or something since bread doesn’t fit into my diet. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Charred and Chopped Salad I was really looking forward to trying this. My sister and I shared it. I think their ingredients are fantastic and go together really well. The fresh chopped mozzarella is fantastic and I love the crunch of the kale; it’s different than what you see with run of the mill salad choices elsewhere. I will say I would have personally liked to see more chicken on it. Other than that, no complaints.

Service was quick and professional (Thanks Madison). I took a very critical crowd into the brewery; my brother in law is a brewer for another Montana brewery, my brother is essentially a beer critic, and my boyfriend is super picky about beer as well. They didn’t have a single complaint about MW brews and tried all three. I’m excited to see all 19 beers eventually on tap and maybe have a taste testing...

Originally was hesitant to go to a brewery because i thought the food wouldnt be as good but i was floored by the food! Best brewery or brew pub ive ever been! We started with brussel sprouts and parmesian fries, both if which were excellent and had a beautiful appetising presentation. The fries were amazing and a nice strong truffle flavour and the brussel sprouts were really crispy and juicy; just too salty for all of us and for me a little too much on the sour side.

We ordered an umami bomb and grotto meats pancetta pizza and they were excellent. The elegant pizza oven that heats up to 700 degrees made the pizza have a awesome smoky flavour and super crispy; even the crust was delicious and craveable. The one with the arugula on too had a subtle sweet flavour and the meat one was a perfect blend of the flavours and very memorable. I also love how thin they were.

I got the bison chili bowl and was very impressed by the presentation and really enjoyed it. The cheese melted in your mouth and it was super satisfying. The cornbread was the best ive ever had. Too bad i couldnt finish either though.

The service and atmosphere were both excellent and it was loud and bustling and perfect lighting. The bathroom however was unclean and there was water all over the floor.

But still the prices were REALLY great for generous portions like the bison chili being very cheap at $14. I also want to mention is that i wish there were more options on the nonalcoholic drink menu like shirley temple or all sorts of fruit juices which would have made dinner even better. Every brewery or bar should have more options

Overall highly reccomend this place and we will come again definitely some day. Thank you and happy holidays!! The ahmon...
