A true Montana experience. Friendly, helpful team members set alongside a beautiful atmosphere and delicious food. The brisket plate was excellent and came out quickly. Great to visit after skiing from Big Sky or just passing through. Thanks Riverhouse

Delicious selection of brisket, ribs and meats in general. Great menu for post full active day. Great beer list too. Sides were also delicious. Would highly recommend as it was one of our favorites the entire week we were visiting. Would highly recommend. And the server was great – she had great recommendations and was very very patient.

From other online reviews to even the locals singing it’s praises, I was very excited to try out this BBQ joint. This place has that perfect outdoor country feel that you love to see from any good barbecue joint, from rusty license plates, plenty of wood paneling, old beer signs, and bison skulls adorning the walls. On top of the spacious indoors they have a great outdoor space in the side and back that gets you a great view of the mountains too. Staff was very friendly and offered all kinds of recommendations for us. Although they don’t take reservations, we didn’t have an issue of waiting very long even for a party of 9 on a Friday night.
Now for what you’re really here for, the food and drinks. Cocktails were decent, but nothing out of the ordinary (except for maybe a heavy pour!), I got their version of an old fashioned, but it was nothing to write home to mom about. For starters we split the corn nuggets and cheese curds, both of which were perfectly fried and delicious, but if I’m picking one it’s gonna be the curds every time. For a main course we split the family platter for two with ribs, but let me tell you, you can feed a lot more than two with this thing! My favorites on the plate were fried chicken, ribs, and pulled pork. The brisket was okay, but a little dry and a little thick cut for my liking, sausage was good and snappy, but unexciting. One thing to note about the fried chicken though, they only sell so much in the day, and when they run out, that’s it! Even by the time we got there, they were only giving it out on the platters and you couldn’t get the separate meal (which is what I originally had my eyes on), and I get why, the chicken is just that succulent and delicious. So come early! Lastly for dessert we split a cinnamon bread pudding with Huckleberry ice cream, and although I only had enough room in me for one bite, it was a bite that was every last bit worth it.
Parking is deceptively large actually, from the street it looks small but there is a lower lot you can park in too.

Went there with 6 friends on a recommendation from a ski guide at Big Sky, and we all left very satisfied with the great food and service. Despite being very crowded, we secured seats at the bar and were served dinner there. Kylie was especially super nice!

Tried both the beef brisket and smoked tri-tip plates. Absolutely delicious! The meat was tender and flavorful, and I really appreciated the variety of sauces available at each table. They added some fun twists without overpowering the original flavor of the meat. On top of that, the prices are refreshingly reasonable, especially compared to what you’d find in Bozeman.
But the most unique experience this place offers is the breathtaking view from the balcony. Especially the breeze around sunset feels AMAZING

Excellent brisket, pulled pork, sausage, and fried chicken with the “family platter”! I definitely recommend that for a group or family. Corn, beans, cole slaw, and INCREDIBLE sweet corn bread and some great sauces come with, and we’re taking food home!
Derek , our server, was top shelf! Riverhouse is a must-visit in Big Sky, MT!

I like big ribs and I cannot lie,
You other diners can’t deny,
That when a plate walks in with a smoky waist
And a rack of bones in your face,
You get hungry!
I’m hooked and I can’t stop staring,
Those baby backs got me wearing
A bib to catch the juice so sweet,
The finest piece of Big Sky meat.
My homeboys tried to warn me,
But that bark on the bone is so thorny—
With flavor! Deep and rich and red,
Best ribs I’ve had before I’m dead.
Oh Pitmaster, you threw down for real,
Crafting the ultimate mountain meal.
No skinny portions, no dry-rub fails,
You’re the king of the smoking trails.
So if you want a rack that’s thick and stacked,
The River House is where it’s at.
Baby back ribs!

This place has some incredible barbecue at supremely fair prices. Of all our meals in Big Sky, this was the best and yet also the cheapest. The family style platters are a great value and every meat is juicy and delicious. The beans were forgettable, but the cornbread is superb and the mac and cheese is worth a side order. Fantastic spot, and trust me – it’s worth the wait! Walk ins only.

Came 2/2 days that we were in the area, worth the hour drive from Yellowstone. All of the food was amazing, service was amazing, and quick! It was so well priced for the quality we received. Not to even mention the view from the barstool. I would recommend this place to anyone in town.
