Each establishment has its own take on steak, so whether you’re a traditionalist or you prefer something a little different, we’ve got you covered. Pay a visit to one of these juicy steakhouses in Bozeman. 

 

Land of Magic Steakhouse

One of the area's most well-loved steakhouses, Land of Magic draws loyal patrons from across the state. Their menu is traditional, no frills here, just great steaks and sides. Dinners include soup, salad, baked or twice-baked potatoes and a scoop of Montana's famous Wilcoxin's Ice Cream.

J.W. Heist

Bozeman's newest steakhouse brings an air of nostalgia to both the ambiance and the menu.

Pair with a classic cocktail, or a bottle from their stellar wine list, and you'll have a meal you won't soon forget.

Stacey’s Old Faithful Bar

Established in 1963, this steakhouse is a Gallatin Valley icon. Thirteen miles south of downtown Bozeman toward Gallatin Gateway, Stacey’s describes itself as a “steak-and-potatoes kind of place”— a friendly, western atmosphere where you feel instantly at home. You'll find classic cuts rustled up Western-style with none other than a baked potato or french fries. There’s nothing pretentious here, just exceptional steaks and good company.

Feast Bistro

While Feast features a broad selection of shellfish, their steaks are just as good. The Butcher's Cut rotates the cut of meat, paired with a sweet potato gratin, seasonal vegetables and a huckleberry demiglace. Or, try their Steak Frites, a 12 oz New York strip with smoked tomato-scallion butter and fries.

Open Range

Steaks at Open Range are sourced locally, hand-cut and aged in-house before being seared in cast iron. The menu includes choices of bison or beef tenderloin from Greater Yellowstone and Blue Creek Ranches, a 16-ounce rib eye Reminisce Ranch, and an 8 oz half rack of elk. Choose a side such as madeira-glazed mushrooms or lobster mac and cheese. If you’re looking for an interesting cocktail to go with your dinner, the mixologists here will fix you right up.

steak with wine and sweet potatoes at Bozeman's Rib and Chop House

 

Rib & Chop House

This Rocky Mountain franchise is a favorite for steaks in a family-friendly restaurant without all of the fancy fuss. That doesn't mean their steaks aren't top-notch though. Grab a partner and split a Côte de Boeuf – a 36-ounce bone-in, French cut ribeye that's large enough for two. It's a generous cut with ample marbling for exceptional tenderness and flavor, served with your choice of sides like garlic mashed potatoes, squash casserole and garlic mushrooms.

Copper Whiskey and Bar

This cozy basement bar might be known for its whiskey, but its dinner steaks pair perfectly with one of those smokey beverages. Choose from hanger steak, tenderloin, ribeye or New York with toppings like bacon jam, lemon bernaise, or grilled blackened shrimp. It's easy to spend hours in this spot, sipping on cocktails and sinking into comfy leather chairs.

Ted's Montana Grill

Founded by Ted Turner, this popular Bozeman spot creates classically American dishes centered around a classically American animal – the bison. Ted's sizzles up tender bison and beef steaks that are aged and hand-cut in the restaurant's on-premise butcher shop, seasoned and finished with lemon butter. It doesn't get more simple or delicious.
