Riverhouse BBQ & Events

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.

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

Great BBQ with a cool atmosphere. We sat at the bar and were able to watch a herd of elk on the hillside. We ordered the flank steak sandwich carnie style, it was amazing! It is a must try. We also got the BBQ pulled pork plate. A huge portion of food! Could split if needed. Everything was amazing and will be coming back here!

Great BBQ 🔥 Great service 🍽️ Cool Environment 🤠 Great Bar 🍺 Live music 🎸 The fried chicken was amazing! And don’t sleep on that Mac and cheese 🧀 Like most pit barbecues they do sell out so don’t come at the end of the day but try everything best suited to bring a big group and share a platter so you can try it all. I added tab full menu in the uploaded photos.

We had a great dinner, wonderful views, live music and a place for our kids to play while we enjoyed an adult beverage and waited on our food. The fried pickles were a great appetizer, my kid plowed through his cheeseburger and most of us adults and other kids ordered ribs. They were great! We had a friendly and attentive waiter who took good care of us. Would definitely go back!

Corn nuggets, pulled pork sandwich, and coleslaw were all delicious. Sweet tea was also on point (southern girl here). Service was less than ideal, my server barely said more than 5 words to me and I felt like I was bothering him anytime he came by the table.

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!
