Best Ribs in MontanaHow do these rankings work?

1. Montana’s Rib And Chop House – Livingston

The Rib and Chop House has been serving some of the best ribs in Montana to Livingston locals since 2001, and have a loyal band of regulars who flock here for the meaty rib racks. The ribs are marinated for 24 hours, before being slow-cooked in a special oven and finished on the grill. The final touch? A light glaze of tangy BBQ sauce.

2. Gallatin Riverhouse Grill – Gallatin Gateway

The Riverhouse is the ideal pitstop on your way to or from Yellowstone National Park. While they serve up beef brisket, pulled pork, smoked and fried chicken, smoked turkey and salmon, we reckon it’s the BBQ baby back ribs that deserve an award for flavour.

You’ll be licking the last bit of flavour off of each bone for sure.
