It’s no secret that Montanans love to eat meat, and we can always appreciate a good burger. With so many delicious options in every county, satisfying our cravings for the classic American staple isn’t hard to do. That’s why trying to choose the best burger in a state known for its beef patties is impossible, though these 15 restaurants are certainly in the top tier. If you decide to forego the chain restaurants in favor of the smaller spots, these places serve some of the tastiest burgers in the state.
Montana Roadhouse serves a lot of hunters and travelers who are just passing through—but that doesn’t stop them from serving them their finest fresh, never frozen meat and some of the best burgers in town.

Bozeman is a mecca of delicious burger joints, and several of them might tie for the best burgers in town. But Brewskers’ flavorful food earns them a place on this list—their burgers are the kind that leave a lasting impression, the kind you’ll be craving long after you’ve eaten them.
When you read the menu here, you’ll see "Home of the Big Burger" written at the top. It’s true...the burger bun doesn’t even come close to covering the massive patty.
Is waterfront dining and a Caribbean atmosphere enough to entice you? If not, the menu will. The Montana Beer Burger comes with an onion ring caramelized in Blackfoot IPA and melted cheddar, while the Bacon Blue Cheeseburger comes covered with candied bacon.

Along with all the traditional burgers you can think of (like the masterpiece pictured here), Nation’s Burger Station serves a Southwestern Berry Burger on Navajo fry bread for the adventurous types.
Simple, classic American food has been the Bert and Ernie’s mission since 1974. You can build your own burger here or go for one of the tasty menu items, like the Haymaker—ham, Swiss and bleu cheese dressing on Texas toast.
The portions are generous at Nap’s Grill. Maybe that’s why they were voted Best Burger, Salad and Takeout in Western Montana...though their three patty Bitterroot Beast may have had something to do with that.
