There are two types of people in this world: those who think nachos are delicious and those who are wrong. If you fall into the second category, it's entirely possible that you simply haven't found your perfect plate yet. Montana has dozens and dozens of great places for nachos, but we recommend starting your search at one of these 10 spots.
1. Bar 47 (White Sulphur Springs)
Bar 47's pulled pork nachos are famous for a reason. The tortilla chips are covered in slow-smoked pork shoulder, a blend of cheeses, and a house-made chipotle aioli.
2. Tamarack Brewing Company (Missoula)
The Keg Nachos at Tamarack Brewing Company will feed you and several friends -- even the half-sized plate will be enough for lunch or dinner for two. Piled high with cheese, black beans, jalapenos, olives, sour cream, and a few optional additions, they're absolutely delightful.
3. The Club Tavern & Grill (Bozeman)
Ask anyone in Bozeman for nacho recommendations and they'll likely steer you toward The Club Tavern and Grill, formerly known as The Grantree Restaurant. While it's located at a Best Western, the food far surpasses standard hotel restaurant cuisines -- and the nachos are enormous (and delicious).
4. Bistecca at the Granary (Billings)
You might think of this place solely as an Italian restaurant, but Bistecca at the Granary also has a casual menu packed with burgers, paninis, and appetizers like these nachos, which happen to be drizzled with brown gravy and chipotle pepper sauce.
5. Hellroaring Saloon & Eatery (Whitefish)
These nachos are absolutely epic, but you'll have to work for them. Hellroaring Saloon is located in the historic Chalet at Whitefish Mountain Resort, so you may have to take advantage of the ski-in, ski-out option.
6. Montana Brewing Company (Billings)
Montana Brewing Company is the perfect place to meet a friend or two for lunch and a beer. You'll have three wonderful nacho options to choose from, all of which have a base of house-made tortilla chips (yum).
7. 19th Hole Grill (Bozeman)
Nachos at The 19th Hole come in three sizes: Little Ass Nacho, Half Ass Nacho, and Big Ass Nacho, which serves at least four. The homemade chili nacho cheese is what really makes them amazing.
8. The Desoto Grill (Kalispell)
Simply put, the Smokehouse Nachos, which come with your choice of smoked meat, looks like this. Need we say more?
9. Bar 3 Bar-B-Q (Belgrade)
This BBQ joint has two locations, but somehow it's the Belgrade eatery that manages to make the best nachos. Their Cadillac Nachos come with burnt ends, cheddar and jack cheese, black beans, and black-eyed peas, plus a chipotle cheese sauce that's absolutely mindblowing.
10. Mountains Walking Brewery & Pub (Bozeman)
We realize there are a lot of Gallatin County spots on this list, but we had to give these tasty Tachos a shout-out. Tater tots are topped with shredded cheese, sour cream, sriracha, green onion, jalapeno, Damsel Fly beer cheese, fresh pico de gallo, and even bison chili if you want it. Yum!
While this is a delicious list, it's far from a complete one. Montana is a huge state, so if the restaurants mentioned here are nacho favorite, give your favorite nacho spot a shout-out in the comments.
