The CORRAL, Montana: Elk Burger (USA Today 2017) & Local Bison Burgers

+2 more

Overview

About This Establishment

The Elk Burger hits with a heavy patty and a crisp char that snaps under the bite. The Bison Burger stays sturdy, a juicy center behind a bold, beefy finish. The Huckleberry Milkshake cuts the grilled-meat heat with tart-sweet Montana cream, finishing clean. Post-Yellowstone refuel: hearty, unpretentious, and proudly local.

Place was horrible. They are out of everything. They had absolutely no seasoning on the burgers. The drinks were absolutely disgusting. Views were good. Tenders and fries were good. My friends literally made fun of the restaurant and food for the rest of the week of our vacation it was that bad.

Hand cut fries, 5 stars! Except it came out with zero salt on them. Bison burger patty cooked perfect, but the burger itself was simply ok. The flavor was nothing to write home about. I asked for pepper jack cheese and got cheddar. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Atmosphere, better summer place. If they adjusted a few things with their burger, could be an incredible place.

Have the Elk Burger! Truly me you won't regret it!! The weather was so nice we were able to enjoy our burgers outside. This place is truly a hidden gem.
