50 Best American Restaurants in Bozeman

“My husband, daughter and I had dinner at Tanglewood last night and we had the most wonderful experience. First, our waitress Chloe was so nice and helpful. Second, the food was just fantastic. But at the end of our meal something happened that has never happened to us before. Our tab was paid by someone else in the restaurant. They wanted to remain anonymous but I so wish we could express how touched we were. What a generous thing to do. We will definitely pay it forward. Thank you so much. This restaurant is now our favorite!!“

“A very local, cramped and popular (based on crowd) greasy spoon. We sat at the bar because we had a float trip to get to. Food was good and portions large. My son had a burrito and I had the scrambler--both were tasty. Hash browns were not my favorite. Coffee was ok. We made the bus!“

“OMG !! the best food ever. the staff was amazing the music was at the perfect level for conversation and did I mention the food. I, we will definitely return for more wonderfulness if that's even a word..“

“Very good food, I got the poutine (which I went to get again delivered this time it's so good, but isn't available on door dash) and the roommate got a sandwich, both were excellent. It was a little pricey but with Bozeman being Bozeman it's expected. Recommend it as a treat!“

“When you crave a good steak!“

“We waited a bit on MSU’s parents weekend but oh boy was the food worth every minute! I got their Yellowstone scramble and this is the first time in my 40 years of life that I have ever finished my entire breakfast. My husband got the grizzly which was an impressive meal that at his 6’ frame couldn’t finish. My daughter made the “mistake” of getting a double stack of blueberry pancakes with strawberries and ended up having it for breakfast, lunch, AND dinner. Great service, friendly staff, amazing breakfast!“

“I have the privileged life of having eaten all over this continent and I am humbled to say that this is one of the best meals of my entire life. Top 3 maybe. I arrived adter a day of hiking and still in my gear yet received exceptional service with a smile. A pleasant, communicative, and accomodating wait staff combined with a menu created by someone who understands food better than any celebrity chef you've heard of in a nice, yet not demanding, atmosphere delivered the most sublime dining experience I've had in years. Make this stop.“

“Great place and excellent food“

“We went out to eat here on August 25th after hiking and are so happy we did! Delicious food and excellent customer service. The potstickers, burger, chili, and fries we had were delicious! We’ll definitely be back the next time we visit Jackson. Thank you to our wonderful server, George B who made our first dining experience here an excellent one!“

“We spent the week at the lodge and loved every minute! The staff was friendly, organized, and provided top notch service. The restaurant was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend staying here!“

“Great food and staff. Just be willing to wait after putting your name on the list. All food is great, nothing I wouldn't recommend!“

“Specs is our favorite place in Bozeman when we are in town. Is it fancy? No. Is it gourmet? Hell no. Specs is the place to go for good service, cold beer, and to feel welcomed. I recommend their Caesars and Bloody Marys. One of the last places where you can enjoy peanuts in the shell and throw the shells on the floor. We always park at Specs and walk to the Bobcat games. Joe and his crew know what they are doing. They can get almost any sporting event on their TVs. Bonus is the liquor store next door that is a partner business.“

“Great Bar Food with a personal touch“

“Excellent food and service! I'll be back! ❤“

“Unique, wholesome, ….inclusive.“

“Awesome food. Would eat here way more if they brought back dine in thougĥ. Too far away so your food gets cold and soggy before you can eat it. need to find a place nearby to park and eat...But I hate eating in my car. Still love it, just much less often.“

“It’s been years and I live thousands and thousands of miles away from Bozeman now, but I still crave Colombo’s pizza and pasta more than anyone else’s. One of, if not the best pizza places ever!“

“Beautiful restaurant with delicious and unique recipes! Tracey, our server, was excellent - full of suggestions, history, and fun! Macy makes great cocktails and mocktails!! Our favorite place to eat in Bozeman!! Try the corn fritters and the cornbread. Excellent burgers and truffle fries! Yummy!“

“Great service Delicious Shepherd's pie best wheat draft, Lillikoi.“

“Was touring the college campus with TRiO. We were able to use the dining facility for our meals. It it has a huge wagon wheel on the ceiling and the lighting gives off very posh western bar vibes. The food is set up in groups by type of meal so burgers, dogs, and sandwiches in one area, salad bar in another. There is pizza and stir fry. It was challenging trying to find all the different foods I like to eat when I wasn't familiar with the layout. I had shrimp mango curry on rice ? with a side of veggies and watermelon ?. I would say I prefer the food here than at Emory in Atlanta. The veggies just seem to taste better.My only complaint is that the rice was not cooked right the night i ate. ? it my impression that the rice cooker isn't steaming the rice properly so everything at the bottom was turning to rice paste and the rice at the top was still hard. My armature cooking theory is: I think there was too much rice for the capacity of the pot and not enough water, so the air couldn't circulate properly as the rice swelled. I'll let the culinary people sort that one out though.I was really impressed with the dining compost system though! This is awesome and I think all restaurants should have bins for all compostable food waste. It made me so happy to know my inedible rice was going to feed the plants it was the highlight of my dinner.“

“Great food and service. Fun location to hang out.“

“the food here and the staff were absolutely outstanding“

“I have been going to this restaurant for years as I feel good after eating here. They have high quality ingredients as others have complained about the price. I’d much rather pay a little more for quality food plus the fact that any restaurant has to pay their employees more to keep quality help. Go to fast food chain restaurants and the cost is comparable but the food isn’t the great quality Biankinis has. I have been in Biankini’s when it’s super busy and I have always been impressed by how quickly they can get food out to me and others.“

“Best Nachos in town! Nice, relaxed atmosphere. Friendly staff.“

“the ribs were amazing and the staff were friendly! great place to eat! and great service“

“Best bagels I have had outside NYC.“

“I ordered IHOP through Uber Eats and called in just to make sure everything was set with utensils and the order. Clint answered and was beyond helpful — super pleasant, patient, and made sure I got everything I needed. It’s rare to get that kind of customer service over the phone these days, but he really took care of me. The food was great, the order was right, and the whole experience was just smooth. Shoutout to Clint and the whole IHOP team — y’all did your thing!“

“Amazing food and staff!! Highly recommend!“
