When visitors come to Montana in search of the best food, it's often things like Huckleberry dessert and steak they're after. This is, of course, for good reason. There might not be a more famous treat in any state. And, our steakhouses are among the best in the country. But don't forget that we also have quite a few other fantastic options. One of those, located in Emigrant, offers the best BBQ in Montana. It's worth stopping in, even if you're from across the state!
Located a bit off-the-beaten path in Emigrant, you'll find Follow Yer' Nose BBQ.
This indoor and outdoor operation offers not only some of the best food in the state but some incredible views, too.
Come on in and choose from any number of combinations. Things here are simple, aside from the fact that making a decision on what to order can be pretty difficult.
To help, they do offer some specials. Each one is spectacularly unique like this sandwich. It featured smoked turkey, Flathead Cherry Habanero BBQ sauce, smoked bacon, candied habaneros, and local micro greens. And best of all, it was piled onto a baked ciabatta bun from the Wild Flour Bakery next door.
Another adored special was the smoked whole chicken brushed with Joe's Montabama White Sauce. They drizzled it with Flathead Cherry BBQ sauce and pickled onions.
Of course, their plates are just as fantastic. Dig into brisket with beans and potato salad.
Or keep things a bit more simple.
This place is certainly a vibe and they often have live music.
Stop into the permanent location in Emigrant or enjoy a trip to the Gardiner Smoke Wagon seasonally. Either way, you'll definitely leave full and satisfied.
Follow Yer' Nose BBQ has two locations. You'll find the first just off Highway 89 South, between Livingston and the Gardiner entrance to Yellowstone National Park. They also have a "smokewagon" truck at the Yellowstone Dino Lube in Gardiner. This is open seasonally, so get there before the snow comes! They also cater events throughout the state. You can learn more about them by checking out the Follow Yer' Nose BBQ website. You can also visit the Follow Yer' Nose BBQ Facebook page. They can be reached at 406-224-2847.
