Open Range

After an unforgettable morning hiking the Lava Lake Trail during my Yellowstone trip, I made my way into downtown Bozeman looking for a good lunch spot — and stumbled upon Open Range. Funny enough, it wasn’t even my first choice, but I’m so glad I ended up here. What a hidden gem! Right from the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming and relaxed. The space strikes a great balance between stylish and casual, and the staff truly made the experience shine. Every interaction felt warm and genuine. Special shoutout to Liam, our host — an absolute gentleman with a kind, professional, and welcoming attitude. He set the tone for a perfect lunch. I ordered the milk bun, wedge salad, Montana chop steak, and crème brûlée — and every bite was on point. Everything was made from fresh, high-quality ingredients, and you could tell the kitchen really cares about flavor and presentation. The chop steak was especially impressive — tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection. I also happened to catch happy hour and treated myself to a martini, which was flawlessly balanced and not watered down at all. One of my favorite parts? The wall of dog photos near the front. I learned that every pup featured belongs to a current or former staff member — such a thoughtful and adorable way for the owner to honor the team since day one. It really speaks to the sense of care and community you feel throughout the place. Open Range made my short stop in Bozeman feel extra memorable. Whether you’re coming off a trail or just looking for an elevated but unpretentious place to eat, this spot is a must. Great food, great people, and great energy. I’ll definitely be back — and thank you again, Liam. You made it special. 10000% recommended

This meal was one of the highlights of our Bachelor Party trip to Bozeman. Initially booked for 10 (reduced to 9 with no problem), there was no down payment for the reservation. Our server, Wyatt, was extremely helpful. Explained all of the menu options and answered just about every question we had. The cocktails were great. The steak was unforgettable. As someone who doesn't eat a lot of red meat, I was incredibly impressed. I ordered the Bison Ribeye cooked medium rare with a split femur bone marrow add-on, and some seasonal vegetables. It was perfect. 10/10 would order again. Also pictured is "The Bacon", one of the appetizers we ordered. this was also delicious, but was hard to split amongst 8 people (one was vegetarian). Speaking of that, there were a few vegetarian options. Our friend said it was good, but didn't finish his plate...so take that how you will. Everyone who ordered steak said it was delicious. Finally, since it was a bachelor party, we needed the meals split in a way that would save the bachelor from having to pay. Wyatt was incredibly helpful in separating the bill into 8 different seats, and also splitting the bachelor's meal amongst the 8 of us. No complaints, no confusion, no problem. He also gave us good bar/club recommendations for after dinner. I would absolutely return to this restaurant if I find myself back in Bozeman. It was expensive, but it's a steakhouse...that's to be expected. It's worth it if you want good food.

We were with a group of 6. Everyone loved their meals. Cooked to perfection. The meals were pricey but worth it. The atmosphere was cozy. Top notch service, too.

Super cozy, great music, amazing service. We went Saturday night, the last hour they were opened! We absolutely did not feel rushed at all. The staff were very friendly and told us not to worry. They made us feel very comfortable, the food was amazing!!
