2026 Big Sky Spring Dining Guide

Big Sky’s dining scene is as unforgettable as its landscapes—where every meal feels like part of the adventure. From cozy cafés in the Meadow to lively on the mountain spots and refined classic dining, there’s something to satisfy every craving and every pace of your day. Fuel up with a quick bite before hitting the trails, or settle in for an evening of locally inspired cuisine, craft cocktails, and sweeping alpine views. Whether it’s bison, fresh sushi, wood-fired pizza, or gourmet comfort food, Big Sky delivers bold flavors in every setting.

Lone Mountain Land Company is proud to announce the grand reopening event of Buck’s Roadhouse at 46625 Gallatin Road in Big Sky on Friday, December 19, marking a new chapter for one of Montana’s most beloved and storied establishments.

For decades, Buck’s has been a gathering place for locals, visitors, and generations of Montanans—a landmark known for its warm spirit, adventurous character, and unmistakable sense of place. The upcoming grand opening honors that legacy while introducing a new era led by Apres Cru, a distinguished hospitality group committed to preserving the history that has made Buck’s a Montana staple.

“Buck’s has long been woven into the fabric of Big Sky,” said team members at Apres Cru. “It’s important to us that we celebrate its past while shaping an experience that feels exciting and memorable for seasons to come.”

After the Grand Opening Celebration tomorrow, Buck’s will have Soft Openings on Saturday and Sunday, December 20th – 21st for walk-ins to the public (no reservations at this time). The Bar Menu will be served these evenings. Buck’s will be closed on Monday and Tuesday, December 22-23 and then taking limited reservations on December 24 for Christmas Eve.
