When you think the dining scene around Bozeman couldn’t get any better, more restaurants pop up, and the bar is once again raised. And, while longstanding favorites like The Western Café and PLONK! are still popular, we’ve been working our way through the list of new establishments and have been impressed at every turn. If you’re visiting this summer, bring your appetite, and don’t forget to make your reservations early!
La Esquina
La Esquina has long been a favorite of New Yorkers (with three locations!), and now their outpost in Bozeman has made fans of their own. The delicious menu is Mexican-influenced, with an extensive tequila list, and the vibe is just plain cool. Open for lunch and dinner.
Shan
This Thai and Chinese fusion recently opened in the Cannery District and is getting rave reviews – quite literally! Serving local meats, exciting wine, and craft beer, the menu is top-notch, the atmosphere fun and upbeat, and the service spectacular. Open for dinner.
J.W. Heist Steakhouse
Inspired by iconic American steakhouses, J.W. Heist is turning out some excellent woodfired cuisine, including prime beef and fresh seafood. Their cocktail list is full of classics; their wine list is award-winning (and the dinner rolls are excellent.) The elegant ambiance makes you feel like you are stepping back in time. Open for dinner.
Hambones Grill
Hambones is the perfect addition to any bowling outing in the newly remodeled Bozeman Bowl. Serving pizza, wings, burgers, sandwiches, salads, and all your favorite fried munchies, there’s something for everyone on the menu. Open for lunch and dinner.
Pho Sai Gon
This traditional Vietnamese restaurant has quickly developed a following with its delicious Pho, broken rice, and vermicelli dishes which are fresh, flavorful, and healthy. If you’re a bubble tea lover, you’ll be thrilled to build your own flavor! Open for lunch and dinner.
The Well Juicery
For light, healthy fare, The Well Juicery at Ferguson Farm specializes in 100% organic, cold-pressed, nutrient-dense juices, smoothies, smoothie bowls, hot elixirs, and specialty milk. Plus, they have light lunch items like salads, soup of the day, and a delightful turkey sandwich. Open daily for breakfast and lunch.
Texas Roadhouse
Coming in August, this much-anticipated chain steakhouse is popular for its steaks, chicken, ribs, burgers, and Texas-themed décor. Their appetizer list is impressive, including Rattlesnake Bites; diced jalapeños and jack cheese, lightly fried and served with Cajun sauce for dipping.
