Food was good. Service was poor. We had a party of 10. They wouldn’t accommodate us as a whole so we split up 6-4. Although when the bill came, all 10 were on there (even though we didn’t sit together) and gratuity was included. We asked about splitting it up and the waitress refused.

Always excellent food and service. I am a little sad that I can't eat anything fried as I have a fish allergy, but they are very accommodating. My husband loved the fries!

Great food! Very good service and the wait time was nonexistent. The Cajun Sauce goes great with the food.

Great spot for food in big timber. Big menu with big portions. Great service. I'm not sure why I waited so long to try it.

Excellent food, served so fast, kid friendly, cozy atmosphere, and stellar service. Wonderful place to eat with great prices and good drinks. I only went here once, but if we visit again, we will be going there again for sure.

My partner and I stopped by as we were passing through Big Timber and saw this “bbq” place and being from Texas we had to test it out.. To sum it up it was some of the best food we’ve had in Montana in our 2 years of living here. The ranch and Cajun ranch are to die for and everything is made with love and you can taste it!! Will definitely be telling all my friends about this place!

Nice little spot to eat some real food after traveling from North Carolima to Washington state. Found it on Google maps and thought food looked good.Pretty slow day but could be attributed to it being Thursday. Quick seating, service, and check made for a speedy return to the road.The pork briquette was great, along with the accompanying BBQ sauce. There was only one staff member fulfilling the role of host, server, and bartender, but she did a good job in handling our orders and the subsequent customers' orders as they came in. Even when the phone kept ringing she managed quite well. If I travel this way again, I will make sure to stop and grab something to eat if open.

Menu was awesome. Our waitress was efficient and multiple checked on us. Food was great. There’s another bar we ate at the following day kiddy corner from thirsty turtle that had better reviews but honestly, the menu wasn’t anywhere near the thirsty turtles. Good, but 90% of the time going forward I’ll pick thirsty turtle over the other nearby bar. More dimensional food items, hard to describe.

It's a bar in a small town. Folks there don't dream. They exist. The food was good, but it's hard to screw up a hamburger. I wouldn't say I won any prizes by going there. I said thank you when I left to the waitress, and she gave no response. Folks here, breath, and are warm, but I wouldn't categorize them as living or friendly. If you like that type of service, this is the place for you. I am from the Midwest, where folks are just a little more friendly, and that's what I like. To each his own.

EDIT: Please see restaurant response … and they are right … I didn’t know … but now I clearly do.It was a disappointing Friday night at 6 pm when we pulled off the freeway anticipating one of your great menu items to find you closed. Not sure if it is a temporary closure or more permanent - based on overgrowth around the restaurant I don’t know.
