Absolutely the best BBQ I might have eaten in my 68 years! I had the 2 meat platter, the burnt ends with smoked Turkey! Then Jalapeño corn bread! Then, fried Corn on the Cob! No words for how great that was and great curly fries! My wife had a sliced Brisket sandwich. Our friends also had 2 Burnt end specials with Broccoli, and one had Tater tots! I feel like I can write a 10,000 words essay. Karen our server was fantastic. The atmosphere is fantastic. It is quiet and we, the four of us were able to have amazing food and conservation. If you like-love BBQ, this is.one of the best I have ever been to. I have visited in Southern states, Been in Texas and so many other places. Moose creek in in out back yard. If you aren't a local, the trip to Lolo Montana is well worth it. To the owner and Chef., I can't, the people I was with, can't thank you enough. 100 stars.
Update 12/23/2023. My wife and I met our great friends for lunch. To say amazing is an understatement! 100 stars is what this place deserves. I had a 2 meat special with burnt ends and Turkey. I started off with brisket chili, which was fabulous with huge chunks of Brisket. I took home 70 % of my lunch. I had the fried green tomatoes and the onion rings. Great. The cornbread grwat. My wife had the prime rib dip with Grandma's green beans. Fantastic! Our friends both had burnt end sandwiches, one with broccoli, and the other had green beans as well. We were able to sit quietly and enjoy our time together as well. The best BBQ in Ravalli / Missoula County by far. I will post photos! If you love BBQ, this is the best place!
Wow! The BBQ is absolutely fantastic! I had the burnt ends with the chicken! Wowwwwwww! Then the Jalapeño Corn bread! Wowwwww! The burnt ends literally melt in your mouth. Great portion! Then the smoked chicken was amazing. They give you honey butter for the Coen bread as well. I got the spicy sauce as I love...
Read moreMy wife and I stopped off to have dinner at this restaurant last week. We found the overall aesthetic of the restaurant to be a classic home style mom and pop vibe. The restaurant was mostly empty when we arrived which came as a pleasant treat to us as we are very hungry. We ordered the two person sampler menu item to get a good gauge of all of the barbecue meats they served. Unfortunately our service was a bit lackadaisical and we found that they forgot a few of our sides and had to return up to the counter a couple times to get them. As for the food overall it was a satisfactory barbecue experience. Unfortunately the ribs were absolutely terrible as it seemed they had been sitting in a warmer for most of the day and meat was very hard, stuck to the bone and overseasoned. The brisket and pulled pork were definitely the highlights of the show both being juicy, having a solid smoke flavor and tender. The rib tips had a good cook on them but they had almost a metallic or liquid smoke undertone that made them slightly unpalatable. The sides were solid but nothing magnificent. Overall if we were to return to this restaurant again we would order only the pulled pork, the brisket, Texas toast and Mac n...
Read moreI am usually very fair and rarely write a review...yet alone a negative one. I hope the owners really hear what I am saying and make some changes. I was unfortunate enough to sit at a table with a direct view into the kitchen. I watched the cook microwave everything and wipe his hand on his shirt and pants a multitude of times (despite the bandaid on his finger). My sister ordered the Haystack Nachos and even though she put half a bottle of sauce, salt and pepper on them, she could not eat them...so bland. My daughter ordered the pork quesadilla....so bland and the pork literally tasted like over cooked chicken....it too was not eatable. I ordered the ribs...they were burnt and tasted like burnt oil. The "slaw" was oily and had a tinch of green slim and the corn bread was cut in half and burnt on each side. The worst meal was my husband's. He ordered the burnt tips... in fact... they were burnt! He was also served with a side of hair in his food. No one could eat their meal and even though our waitress could hear all our complaints and we sent back in eaten food, she didn't seemed concerned at all. If ever Gordan Ramsey needed to rescue...
