Rib and Chop is a Montana favorite! I always order the cedar plank salmon and a huckleberry Moscow mule. Fried green tomatoes (when available) are delicious. The steaks are great, there is bar seating and its close to Bluebird House!

The Hauf is a Bozeman tradition. It’s fun any time of the day, always grungy and smelling of old beer, if you want to appreciate Montana you have to get used to our “hidden gems” they are disappearing rapidly and being replaced with overpriced housing we would rather not have here. Enjoy it while we still have it!

The best Chico day: get going early and have breakfast at Pinky’s in Livingston, soak in the pools and have a nice lunch at the pool side cafe or pack a lunch to eat on your way home. Admire the Yellowstone River and our amazing mountains on your drive to Bluebird House. Finish the day with a killer meal from Pakeezah (delivered) with a lovely bottle of wine and some Netflix, mmmm yes!

If your up for a day trip, Spa Hot Springs is well worth the time. These hot springs are clean and full of minerals. Most of the facility have been recently remodeled. There are several places to eat in White Sulphur Springs, my favorite is Bar 47. You can take a beautiful drive through the Bridger Mountains to get there. Make sure to check the weather before you travel, we have had many scary winter trips on these roads.
