Fun places to eat in Big Sky and West Yellowstone!

We've heard it a thousand times, " It's so hard to plan a vacation to Yellowstone online."  We know, we are tourists too and you never know what you are getting into until you are actually in town and figure it out.   Fear not!  We are here to help.  Let's look at some fun dining options that you will want to be sure to hit.

Big Sky, Montana

The 320 Ranch - For the western experience this is the place.  Every Wednesday you take a horseback or wagon ride to a wonderful riverside bbq.  We won't get to detailed but just know if you do it, you'll have a great time.  On Monday's at the 320 Ranch there is a $15 all you can eat bbq featuring live music, beer and more.  Popular with the locals for good reason, the setting can't be beat. Kids will love the playground nearby and some of the local ranch kids are usually running around playing with the visitors as well.

Buck's T4 Lodge - This is the number one restaurant in Big Sky on Trip Advisor.  Famous for it's wild game dishes and fun mix of cocktails the service is always great too.  This is a good place for a special dinner.  It is a little more on the higher end of the price scale for their signature entrees, but a $10 burger can be had.  An arcade in the back keeps the kids happy.  Check it out online.  Conveniently located next to Geyser Whitewater Expeditions in Big Sky, Montana.  Our favorite is the Red Deer.

The Gallatin Riverhouse Grill - Our buddies bought this place not long ago and instantly created what is probably the busiest restaurant in town.   Focused on BBQ, it is not only economical but the highlight is the riverside view.  There are horseshoes, games, ping pong and a volleyball court to keep the little ones entertained.  Try the Riverhouse Margarita!

The Bunker at the Big Sky Golf Course - Big Sky's best kept secret.  This is a great place for lunch or dinner if the weather is such that you can eat outside.  Nothing fancy but good food and one of the best decks in Big Sky to eat.
