Best Ski Resort for Eating Out in Montana: Whitefish Mountain Resort (MT) - Eating Out Rating
When it comes to food at Whitefish Mountain Resort, you won't go hungry! The Hellroaring Saloon gets regular mentions from our users, with one expert snowboarder specifically recommending their "famous hellroaring nachos". The Summit House offers spectacular views while you refuel, and the Base Lodge provides plenty of indoor seating. Ed and Mully's in the Village area serves up typical pub fare for a quick lunch between runs. While some users note that mountain food can be pricey, most agree the quality is excellent. The Bierstube is the go-to spot for après beers, creating a friendly atmosphere where you can swap stories about your day on the slopes.
#2 Big Sky - Eating Out Rating
Big Sky's food scene gets consistently high marks from our users. The mountain offers quality dining options with great variety, though some mention prices are steep for what you get. One Snomad community member liked the sandwich station, while others praise the restaurants in the cute ski town. You'll find everything from grab-and-go options to proper sit-down meals. While the village food gets positive reviews, savvy skiers suggest packing lunch and grabbing drinks from the gas station to save cash. The town of Big Sky complements the mountain dining with excellent restaurants worth exploring after a day on the slopes.
#3 Bridger Bowl - Eating Out Rating
Food options at Bridger Bowl receive mixed feedback from our users. While some expert skiers like Kelly praise "perfect French fries with a beer," others find the dining options somewhat limited. The base area offers a bar that's popular with locals—as Madi points out, "They have cheap Jell-O shots" which adds to the après atmosphere. Several reviewers mention the friendly service, with one noting many workers are college students from MSU. The on-mountain eating experience reflects Bridger's local character rather than resort luxury, fitting for a mountain that prioritises terrain over amenities.
