Atmosphere here has always been great. Beer is also always good but food lacks so bad here. We ordered the BBQ pulled pork pasta, assuming it would be something more than extremely salty pulled pork over mac and cheese. For 20.75 a plate I was just expecting something with a little more flavor and well ingredients. Overall a disappointing meal that cost over 80 dollars for a family of 4.

There weren't a lot of options in Sidney for a later meal. Meadowlark had the menu for the Billings location online but not for Sidney but assumed it would be similar.
You should stop here for a bite. The atmosphere is great and modern feeling.
A little thing - one of the chairs was broken at our table from someone who had leaned too far back and bent/broke the seat back.
Our service wasn't the fastest as we were forgotten about, but the food was great. I think the server just got distracted in the back but the other 2 at the bar didn't check in. Eventually went up to the bar to ask to order food after waiting for 10min +(felt longer but doubt it was).
Limited options in Sidney but this is a good one and the food holds up anywhere in the state. If the service had been more on it I would be up to 5 stars and could well have been a one-off occurrence.
Added photos of the menu from April 2025 - hopefully Meadowlark adds the menu to the Sidney page on their site.
Next time we are in Sidney we will definitely stop in again and will update as well. Worth the stop for sure!

We travel from Western Nebraska 3-4 times a year and this is always our favorite place to stop and have good beer and absolutely wonderful food!! The staff is exceptional!!!

Not even slow service, they gave us no service. We sat at the bar for what seemed like forever and weren’t greeted by any of the five servers standing around. Only to watch them take orders of people that came in after us.
I am a previous server, I understand if you are busy, but don’t act like people are invisible. We won’t be back.

My daughter was excited to have her birthday dinner last night here, and we too were looking forward to it as we normally enjoy the food, beer and service. Although the beer and appetizers were good, unfortunately that is where the praise stops. There were 5 of us and maybe 2 out of the 5 were ok with their dinners.
The birthday girl’s Goatin Figgy Burger was over cooker, burnt more like it. The bun was burnt and the burger was over cooked.
Her fella’s Good in Mah Belly’s pasta was sooo dry it reminded me of week old leftovers and the meat was also over cooked and very dry. He was so hungry he ate it without saying a peep until I said it looked dry and he quickly replied it was extremely dry.
I ordered the Cordon Bleu Sandy and like my daughter’s burger, it was horribly burnt. It arrived noticeably dark. The bun was burnt , the chicken was also over cooked, no - burnt. I tried to eat it and quickly realized it was not worth it as there was not a single taste going on in my mouth other than that of burnt food. I ate the sliced ham and cheese and called it done. When my daughter told our server she agreed the food looked burnt and gross, said sorry and that was it. Hummm, nicely handled!
In this day and age, with the cost of everything so darn high, the disappointments just burn a little deeper.
IF we return, it will be for beer and appetizers only.
Oh yeah, we ordered side salads and they never arrived. When we alerted our server still at the beginning of our meal, she just said she’d remove them from the bill…hello we would have liked them still but was not given the option. Hum, so yeah there was that too! Good luck Lark, I hope you improve because you were a favored place to go and you are clearly struggling in the kitchen area.

We stayed a night in Sidney and went to Meadowlark for dinner and drinks. They had several yummy, interesting beers, including fruity ales, a shandy, IPAs, and a stout. The mushroom beer sounded strange but was one of our favorites. It didn’t taste anything like mushrooms; it was on the sweeter side and reminiscent of maple syrup. A flight of 6 beers cost $6.50, which was a great deal. Not sure if there was a special going on or if that is the usual price. On the flip side, the food prices were a bit on the high side. The Philly sandwich and tater tots were delicious but cost $19, and it wasn’t a very large portion given the price. A tip: if you pay with cash, they knock off 5%. (BTW the lunch/dinner menu on their website is outdated in both offerings and price, so don’t rely too heavily on it.) The service was great. If we find ourselves in Sidney again, we will definitely return to Meadowlark at least for the beers.

Had an awesome time at Meadowlark in Sidney, MT! The food was top-notch, and the beer selection hit the spot. The service was great—friendly and quick. It's a perfect place to kick back, grab a bite, and enjoy a drink. Definitely giving it five stars!
Mike Murphy
I wish I could have tried more of the menu, both beer and food. Everything I had was great and I even got some ice cream! Definitely coming back next time I'm in Sidney.

5⭐️ for service! I was on a short road trip on my one day off in the oilfield and on my way back to Williston I stopped to have a beer and lunch. The bartenders were amazing, friendly and provided great conversation. I had a couple of beers and they were pretty good. I order the wings because of a sauce called Arizona Ranch. The wings were average and the sauce wasn’t anything special. I did see a couple of other plates come out and I should have ventured out and tried something I haven’t had before because they looked great. I would definitely recommend stopping in and taking a break from the road.
The food and beer selection is fantastic. Unfortunately, the child play area makes you feel like you are at a Daycare center. Kids running around and yelling.

Terrible experience. Walked in on a Sunday at 2:00pm. The sign said seat yourself and so we did and no one helped us but plenty of people walked by. Finally after 10 mins I walked up and asked if anyone was available to help us with drinks and menus. We finally got waters at 2:15. We ordered our food and the waitress came back after taking our order and said I'm sorry the kitchen closed from 1:45-3:00pm on Sundays is that okay if we make your food at 3pm??? We got up and walked out and won't be back.

My pregnant wife and I have been traveling to Sidney once a month since March and every week of October/November(since our due date is nov). We have eaten at meadowlark every trip because we enjoy the food but have continuously had issues with the service. The service issues have been tolerable(empty drinks, missing parts of order, rudeness) but today we’ve decided to no longer eat at this restaurant. My wife was halfway through her meal when she scooped up a long blond hair which couldn’t be ours because we are Native American with dark hair. We understand that hair is a common issue in the food business and that a hair in our food isn’t a threat to my wife’s health or our unborn baby’s health but we also expect this common issue to have a reasonable resolution, especially for the frequent customers that we have become. We sat there for nearly ten minutes contemplating whether to let it go and not say anything or address the feeling of queasiness my pregnant wife was experiencing. We decided to bring it to the attention of our waitress and asked for a 50% refund on her meal since she had only eaten half and would not continue to eat. To my disappointment, the waitress said she “didn’t have the authority to give a refund but will try to knock off a few dollars”. I sent her with my debit card and when I received the receipt, I found $1.50 was reduced from our $50 bill. I try to present myself in a respectful manner when visiting neighboring towns but this incident might have called for a more asset demeanor due to the unsatisfactory result.
