Little Missouri Saloon & Dining Room

Nostalgia feel of the old west! The door handles are guns and they even have a place to tie your horse! I tried the rueben and it was tasteful! The bartender was welcoming and also served my food. The food was served in a timely fashion and my drink paired well with my food. Great food, drink and service!!! I would highly recommend this hidden gem!

It was almost the only place in town that was open in the off season on a Monday. Fascinating atmosphere/ambience. Food was good, if a wee bit pricey. Huge selection of liquor and beer. Loved the salon style doors on the bathroom stalls and the guns as handles on the entrance. Would go back.

The venue is in beautiful Medora ND just outside of Theodore Roosevelt National Park and the terrain is gorgeous. Our server started out "cold", not engaging and answering with short, curt comments. Thankfully she did warm up as the dinner progressed. All of our burgers were very good and they are big!! I had the elk burger which was fantastic. One of my daughter's had the turkey sandwich and she thought it was great. The bread they served it on appeared to be a sourdough w/cranberries and seasoning in it. I would definitely go back!

This place was excellent. Decided to go here because it's the first time I've seen a buffalo steak offered and I have been to several restaurants in Montana Wyoming, Yellowstone, Utah. Looking for this type of thing. Price was good for a rare cut of meat and very good side dish options. Food was excellent and service was great during a very slow time of year. Medora has 150 year round residents and winter is extremely slow and quiet. The perfect time to visit in my opinion. Thanks for adding to my great experience of visiting North Dakota for the first time. Hope to be back soon. This was the 26th state I have visited.

What a wonderful place right against Theodore Roosevelt National Park. It’s got my kind of food, sandwiches, burgers, steaks and an occasional salad. You won’t be disappointed if you stop and eat. We sat on the outside deck and admired the rugged terrain that makes up this little town. Full of culture and history. So glad we stopped. Thank you for a kind experience.

It was late when I left Theodore Roosevelt park. This looked better and more western than the place across the street. Glad I stopped here and they were open. Ribeye steak was great. Seasoned and cooked just right. Would definitely stop here again if I ever came back. Subscribe to @weaversstonehousefarm to follow us on the YouTube channel

We had a table on the second floor deck with outstanding views of Medora. Our server was exceptionally effective and welcoming despite seemingly handling twice as many guests as would be typical. My delicious walleye dinner was more than I expected.

Date: 28 June, 2025 Ordered: Beef Steak with french fries, and a garlic bread. (You can choose other sides as well) Taste: Loved it. Price: $18 Atmosphere: Unique decoration. It was lunch time, so it was crowded. Service: Had to wait for 40 minutes to get our order. There was too much rush but only two servers were there to help everyone. Do I recommend this place? Of Course!

Had an awesome time visiting and drinking at the Saloon! We were immediately greeted by the lovely bartender Whitney when we arrived. She served us some awesome beers from their great selection of taps. The bars crowd was very friendly with a nice mix if locals and visitors to the area. We had such a nice time on our first visit we decided to come back to see Whitney again and have dinner on out second day in town. We both had Bison burgers which were really delicious. I would definitely recommend visiting this fun saloon, and if you happen to visit on one of Whitney's shifts you are in for a treat!

Great Dining and Libations in Medora. A fun place with decent food and staff is very cordial and accommodating

The bartender/server was truly a sight to behold. Happy, friendly, fast, he was practically dancing. Even though it was very busy we got our food and drinks promptly!! Turkey sammich was so good!! Loved the cranberry bread!! Hubby got the fish sammich and he enjoyed it as well.

Mary and I stopped in this afternoon for a cold beverage. It took twenty minutes for someone to come to our table; surely attitude was not needed. Will never go back.

Love the town of Medora! The Little Missouri Saloon has plenty of dining options: downstairs inside, upstairs inside and the outdoor porch overlooking the town. We were lucky enough to get one of the outdoor tables. Service was good! Food was good as well! We ordered 3 appetizers and had plenty of leftovers! Prices were reasonable as well.

Looking for a good burger and outdoor seating with good views? This is your place! It was a warm evening but we sat outside on their upper patio and we were in the shade with a nice breeze. Ava was our server and she was working hard...and doing a great job. We both had cheeseburgers (cooked perfectly and the bun was delicious). Hubby got fries and I got onion rings and they were cooked just like we like them. They also have a full bar - I tried the Huckleberry Mule - perfect for a hot day!

This was our favorite meal in Medora. Started with the chips, guac and salsa - chips were homemade, but some were chewy versus crunchy - could've used more time in the fryer. Guac was great though! I had the turkey avocado sandwich on cranberry wild rice bread, and potato salad - this sandwich was absolutely divine. Basic sandwich, but the bread set it apart. Omg, it was soooo good! Very large sandwich though. Could only eat half but took my leftovers back to the RV. The potato salad was excellent, and super creamy. I was so happy with my choice! Hubs had the deep fried walleye - he said this was delicious! Perfectly crispy outside - flaky and moist inside. Great service; very very friendly. Cool old timey saloon decor inside. I would recommend this place all day long!

Just rolled into town and had to get some local eats! Little Missouri was recommended to us by a gal in Dickenson so that's where we headed! First of all, Medora is a super cute western town with a lot of eateries, we definitely picked wisely!! Our server and bartender was the friendliest gal, super sweet greeting and very attentive throughout our stay even though she had the place to herself! She greeted, took orders, served and cleared, all while having a beautiful genuine smile on her face! Service was fast, food came out piping hot and the atmosphere is pure old west! Lot's of eye candy everywhere you look! We had the wontons for an appetizer, super simple and fried perfectly! For lunch I had the BLT Wrap and hubby had the Reuben. Plenty of avocado on the wrap along with nice crispy chopped bacon, just the way I like it on my sandwiches! The Reuben was loaded with thin shaved corned beef, plenty of sauerkraut and just the right amount of dressing! The McDonald's style fries were a huge hit!! Ice cold beer, great service and delicious food, we'll be back and highly recommend!

Little Missouri Saloon is one of just a few options in Medora. And it was "OK". Went mid-week in the lull between lunch and dinner. Lunner? Even though it wasn't busy the service was slooow. The food, I honestly don't really remember what we had. I think we had a buffalo burger. It was "OK" and forgettable - obviously. Best part of the visit may have been the wild west feel the saloon had. Decent on tap beer menu.

We almost didn't eat here but walked by and liked the terrace seating they had so decided to eat here. Had a burger and potstickers - which turned out to be really good, wrapping looked hard but turned out to be crispy and not at all greasy as they usually tend to be. It's an app but there are ten pieces so quite enough for a light meal. Only thing is they will charge you a 2% fee if you use a credit card - only place on this trip and fist time in the US encountering this. The bar area downstairs seems to be the more atmospheric place to be as it's a lot busier than the upstairs dining room.

Any time I'm in tourist town and the food options are limited, I'm worried that I'm going to get stuck eating a place out of necessity. This place isn't one of those places. Locals and tourists alike have been coming to this spot for decades and when you go there you can see why. Amazing atmosphere! Very western and an awesome way to experience North Dakota. The food is fantastic! I recommend the bison burger and potato salad. Both are top tier! Service is great and welcoming.

Stopped in for a couple beers. No tables until nice couple offered a small table by window. No service. Husband tried to order at bar but was ignored. Moved to more central table hoping for service- nope. Finally I sat at bar and husband stood and was able to place a beverage order...though the red ale ran out just before Returned to window table and never was approached by service offering menu. Definitely a no!

Sorry I have to give a star to leave a review. This place doesn't deserve any stars. Arrived at about 7:05 pm on Thursday evening. Pretty quiet so walked upstairs and was told we would be seated shortly. We looked around and saw plenty of open tables. We waited same girl walked by us at least 4 times and still didn't offer to seat us so...we went downstairs which also had plenty of open tables. My husband sat down at one while I used the restroom. There was no soap to wash your hands. I wonder what the waitstaff does after using the bathroom??? Came back to find my husband who still hadn't been acknowledged. By this time we decided to leave. As we were walking towards the door the bartender asked us if needed something. NO THANK YOU! We are done with this establishment. Don't know how the food is, couldn't get seated or waited on. We went across the street to Boots Bar and Grill. We were greated as soon as we walked in. Beer is cold and the pizza was delicious.

Was passing thorough and spent the night in Medora Ang had dinner at the Saloon. Enjoyed the ambiance and the service was great by Kierston. I had the Little Missouri Steak with baked potato and tomato soup. All was cooked to perfection and tasted great.

The whole experience at this restaurant was fabulous. Our server was so nice and the conversation was natural. We had the Fried Pickles appetizer. They are delicious. Instead of slices as with other restaurants it was a spear with cheese then deep fried! Delicious! We split a Bacon Cheeseburger and fries and so glad we did. The beef is fresh, not frozen and a 1/2 pound patty. It was seasoned to perfection and the bacon cooked perfectly, crunchy not soggy. The decor is an old time saloon and has an upstairs also. I definitely will recommend to people visiting Theodore Roosevelt National Park to go to this restaurant.

Ordered fried pickles, local said they were good, but... pickle and pepper jack rolled in a wonton wrapper. Was cream cheese and wonton not fully cooked, so doughy. Ordered the turkey avocado on cranberry wild rice bread... avocado was hard as a rock, about five pieces of processed turkey and wilted lettuce. Whitney, the waitress / bartender, was nice, but abrupt. One and done.

Beautiful views and great food! The walleye sandwich was fantastic. My only complaint is they were very stingy with the aioli; don't be afraid to smother it on! But the walleye was so good I didn't even mind a dry bun.

Love the Little Mo! The restaurant upstairs is family-friendly, and the balcony is beautiful. My favorite thing to order is the margherita pizza with gluten free crust. Definitely recommend

Outdoor seating is a plus. Had the mushroom Swiss burger. Really tasty. Busy night and the wait staff was super good.

again.from first taxi.its easy to leave a good review on little missouri saloon i had a great time over the past weekend .again great service great music keep up the great work

First off the wait was long. Second off the BLT was mediocre. Third off there's gambling, bugs and also there's no door for the toilet stall and I felt more comfortable in my middle school bathroom and I got my backpack stolen there so basically like my last review but they couldn't redeem themselves for the bugs and gambling and btw my brother was not laughing a single time inside here.

I live in the Twin Cities and recently ate at Pittsburg Blue. I had a great meal there but this was better and a fraction of the price. I loved every bite. I ordered a medium rare and it was perfect. If you are trying to figure out where to eat in Medora, look no further. This was unexpectedly upscale food for the laid back environment.

Loved our bartender, he was very attentive and just on the go. Such a busy bee, running like a chicken WITH a head because he sure did know how to multi-task! I loved the shrimp plate, shrimp were very crispy and batter was well seasoned and airy. The shrimp oof they were huge, meaty and kept me full for the rest of the night. Fries were good and who doesn't like local tap beer? Glad I stopped by this place.

When we arrived, the place was packed but, we were able to get a seat right away. Our waiter was also a bartender and I've never seen hustle like that. I'm not sure if that's the norm for a Friday night but, they managed to get our food out in a timely manner. The Bison Ribeye was good. The Walleye was a little plain. All in all, it was a decent place to eat. Just as we were leaving, the live music act was setting up. There were several families, with kids ranging in age, so it's family friendly. Check them out!

The food was incredible, and sitting outside on the deck on such a beautiful night was the perfect way to unwind. I'll definitely be back!

A great little place to grab some food when staying in Medora or visiting Theodore Roosevelt National Park. We had excellent service and sat outdoors. The evening was already cool for early Sept., but they had heaters outside which made it nice and cozy. I had the fish and chips and substituted fried green beans instead of getting french fries. OMG. Might have been the best thing I ate the entire trip. Those fried green beans came with a spicy ranch sauce and already had some heat to them and were just perfect. Very generous portions and a pretty good variety of pub food fare on the menu.

Stopped here before Medora Musical. Was at Boots last year and was a let down. The place was severely understaffed. We waited on the steps about 15 minutes. I ordered turkey sandwich on cranberry wild rice bread with tomatoes and avocado. I subbed out fries for a salad. The avocado seemed under ripe and cut in chunks. A spread would have made more sense or riper avocados thinly sliced. We witnessed other patrons passing this other guy waiting on the steps. I would have been more assertive and obnoxious and say the wait is back here. Props to waitress and food runners who worked their tails off.

Bartender was great, however she made a lousy old fashioned, bartender 101. I make a point of trying fried pickles whenever I can get them. Not bad, but not great either. As for my burger it was okay. The place was cute and the people friendly. I was told it was the better of the two restaurants in town so I went with that.

great Service! wow. Somebody got there early and one person reserved a table for 10 friends.... we were stuck around a pole. we were finishing up eating as they were all being seated. NOT the bars fault!. The service rocked. great food.. onion rings are yummy too. Nice drinks. Rum drinkers, so not a great selection. Fun atmosphere.

I've been dreaming of their fried pickles since I've had them!!! Those are a MUST TRY! As for the entrees... I wish I could say the same. I ordered a patty melt that I was hoping would come dripping with cheese. Instead, it was a very thin patty and VERY dry... so dry, I asked our waitress for mayonnaise to make it a little enjoyable. My friend ordered a buffalo burger that was also overcooked and dry. I wish I would've ate the fried pickles as my meal because that was about the only thing that I really enjoyed.

Nice place to eat in Medora. Don't pass up the steak and cheese bites - so good! Prices were good too.

Fried pickles are on point! Not much else to chose from in town during the shoulder season but this place was great and the bartender was awesome and friendly.

We ordered drinks from the bartender and shortly had them, we also ordered steak and curds appetizer. The Steak was hot and juicy; the curds were warm, tasty but honestly a little chewy. They came with a Chipotle Ranch dip that was great on the steak and later, on the fries. We ordered Bison Burger with Onion Rings and Elk Burger with Fries. They were delicious, and overfilling. We took home about half of everything. The servings a very large, the staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was pure old west. Vintage pictures, Double barrel shotguns and revolvers for door handles, Dollar bills hanging from the ceiling everywhere. From start to finish this was a great meal and a great experience.

After a full day in Teddy Roosevelt NP in mid-September we stopped here for a very early dinner. Glad we did because it was jammed by the time we left and I am not sure their staff could handle that volume. Given Covid we were looking for outdoor dining and they had a nice balcony. Since there appeared to be no precautions by the staff relative to the virus it was good to be outside. The waitress was OK but not exactly friendly. The burgers were good especially the mushroom swiss burger, though a bit more medium than medium rare. The onion rings were very good. The potato salad was also solid. The menu did have lots of appealing appetizers but we resisted. Bottom line the food was good but being able to dine outside better. Also arrive early... maybe now that the season is winding down this may not be as big of an issue.

Had an excellent steak dinner here in Medora. For a reasonable 20-ish dollars I had a 9 oz. certified Angus steak with garlic toast, a salad, and a choice of potato or vegetable. The best part -- it comes out sizzling on an oven-hot platter so that every bit is hot. I love that! You usually have to pay a lot more for a steak to get that kind of sizzling goodness. The next time I am in Medora, this is first on my list for dinner.

When I was a kid, I and my cousin threw rocks at a hornet's nest, knocking it off the tree. It really wasn't a good idea, and we regretted it immediately. The experience that followed was longer than I expected, thoroughly unpleasant, and its only redeeming feature was that nobody died. Eating here was a lot like that, but less fun. Two stars for having good beer.

Great service, pretty good for bar food but nothing really special. We were here during the slow season so there were not a lot of options in town while visiting Theodore Roosevelt National Park.

My wife had the maple pecan salmon and I had the walleye. Both were great. Service was good. First beer was not extremely cold, but second one was ice cold

I had the bison burger with potato salad as a side, both were excellent. Selection of draft and bottled beers was great. Our waitress, Alex was very knowledgeable about their beers and had great recommendations. Alex got our order right and did a great job especially considering how busy she was. Having outdoor seating is a plus.

Been in there twice this weekend! You have some of the hardest working staff I have seen in a long time. Food drinks service all was excellent. Can't wait to be back.

Decent tap beer selection. Exceptional service by Alex for the two evenings we were in Medora. She was the reason we went back.

One of the few restaurants open for a late lunch on a Sunday in Medora. I tried the Buffalo burger because when in Rome, right? I was not a fan of the flavor (a strong aftertaste) but I'm glad I tried something new. Nice ambiance upstairs in the cool ac on a 95 degree summer day. Might come back to try the steaks later.

We stopped in for dinner after visiting the national park. It was adequate. We were seated right away, and we sat outdoors on the second-floor deck. The restaurant is divided for the bar or family dining. I got the chicken bacon swiss sandwich. It was average - about what you'd expect for a little bar in the area. I didn't eat many fries. They weren't served hot. It's not exceptional, but it's a fine stop when the options are limited.

Awesome food and great staff! Love the decor. It's so fun to see where all the dollars and hats come from and the age of them!

IF I HAD TO DO IT OVER AGAIN. We were ready for a great meal in Medora on our little weekend trip. The server was right there and we saw how well she kept the beer flowing at the tables around us, but the food was stone cold. My husband had an Elk burger and onion rings, I had the chicken fried steak. I told her my meal was cold and she asked what she could do. Really? Like maybe get us some hot food. She pretty much assumed my spouses meal was hot and mine was cold so she discounted mine by 20%, and nothing on his. Of course, I gave her a tip and now I regret doing that. I get everyone is short staffed, but it seemed like the drinking tables got a lot of attention and we were left in the dust.

Tourist trap rip off! Very bland. My boyfriend and I went for dinner after a long day of traveling and exploring the park. We were scheduled for the musical but it was canceled due to weather. This was the only place open for a late dinner. We ordered a large beer and potstickers as an appetizer and then a hamburger steak and the chicken manicotti both with mashed taters. We received our beer then the meal. I asked about the appetizers and she said, "oh you still want then". When I said yes she said she forgot to put in the order. They came out halfway through the meal. Mash potatoes were by far the best. The hamburger steak was good however super greasy and unseasoned. The manicotti was okay but super greasy and unseasoned. The marinara was simply canned tomatoes again unseasoned. The potstickers and the taters were the only winners. Meal cost us $70 and was Definitely not worth that.

We stopped for supper before going to the musical. We would have liked to sit outside but there wasn't a table available. It was full and our server, Reagan, was busy but she did a great job on checking in with us and was very friendly. All 3 of us had the salmon which was tasty. Nice atmosphere & service! We'd definitely go back and recommend to others.

It was a western cowboish bar... food was ok a little overpriced for what it was but anyhow I felt bad for the only girl working on 2/1/20 she was the waitress, bartender, cashier, busboy, DJ, housekeeper all these jobs for one person is not right. It's called abuse , Man all the jobs she had to do .....I mean you name it SHE DID IT!! plus she was super nice despite all the jobs she was doing. I'm traveling the 50 states and The ambiance is I don't know maybe kind of getto. So don't except to see anything fancy is not. But I do recommend it for once in a lifetime experience. And please hire another girl or give this girl. a EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR!

One of two places for dinner open at the end of the season. We chose Little Mo's, Because it was recommended. Andre was on top of everything, not sure if he was the owner or not, but if not he is a keeper! His service was outstanding and he had the whole bar area under control. Pizza and salad were just OK, but it's fun little place.
