Legacy Butcher and Burger Company

Bison Burger: stampede of flavor with bacon, blue cheese, buffalo sauce. Fries crackle.

When to come

Lunch hours are the calmer window; avoid the peak dinner crush from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM.

The Bison Burger wrecks the palate with a brisk sear and a juicy interior, then salt-crack from the blue cheese crumbles and crispy bacon when the buffalo sauce hits. Fries deliver a satisfying crunch and deep-fat flavor that lingers. Heart Mountain and Jackalope burgers add bold, meaty notes; this is where the local beef and game shine in a casual, butcher-shop-meets-burger-joint vibe. It’s a straight-ahead eat, not a fancy detour, but the customization of toppings keeps it lively.
