No matter what part of Montana you call home, a visit to the legendary Grizzly Bar & Grill takes substantial planning. Not only is it located in a community that so tiny that it coined the phrase, "Where the hell is Roscoe?" but it's at least an hour from every major city (and most small towns) on the Treasure State's map. That said, it's a famous icon for a reason - the food is fantastic and the atmosphere is even better.
The Grizzly Bar & Grill is an iconic institution that takes up the entirety of the tiny town of Roscoe.
It's an hour's drive from Billings, almost five hours from Missoula... you get the idea.
Roscoe is just off State Road 78 between Luther and Absarokee, with a listed population of 15.
Considering how much Montanans hate crowds, this makes it the perfect location for a favorite local hangout. Paying a visit to this place is never a spur of the moment decision.
Inside, you'll find a classic old school eatery with all the important details: a stuffed and mounted bear at the entrance, antlers everywhere, a fireplace, and cowboys drinking at the bar.
Still, no matter where you're visiting from, you're sure to get a warm welcome when you step inside. You may even end up spilling your life story to the cowboy next to you at the bar.
The Grizzly Bar is is surrounded on all sides by cattle ranches, so you know the beef here is as local as it gets.
The restaurant is definitely famous for its steaks - they're unforgettable (and often enormous).
The Grizzly Bar is open daily for both lunch and dinner, so you'll always have a menu full of options.
If a steak doesn't sound good for some reason, you can always try a burger, some chicken, or a seafood entree.
If you choose to imbibe, you'll have your choice of cocktails from the full bar or a great selection of local brews.
They always have Montana beer on tap here.
Visiting The Grizzly is pretty much a Montana rite of passage.
If it's been a while since you've been, make the drive while the weather allows. They're open daily from noon until 10 p.m.
Address: 1 Main Street, Roscoe, MT, 59001
Have you ever dined at the Grizzly Bar & Grill? We sure do love a good small-town steakhouse here in Montana (and we wouldn't have it any other way).
