This is the farthest I’ve ever driven off I-90 in 23 yrs of driving past Billings from CO to Western MT to my brother’s and it was SOOOO worth it. The food was fresh, flavourful and great. The team was the shining star here. A young team that a number of teams I work with could learn from. They led with kindness at every turn. I was so hungry I forgot to take pics of the food. The sauces for me didn’t keep pace with the meats which dropped ya to 4. The atmosphere is a 4 only because it’s a part of a gas station complex. And don’t be deterred. Worth it.

Absolutely the best BBQ! When ever I have friends come visit I always tell them about this amazing food, then we pull up to a gas station they start to doubt me. Aside from the amazing food that’s my favorite part. They try it and fall in love with the food. I’ve never had anything I didn’t like. Service is always on point. And they know how to feed your family!

At work, we always try to support local when we order out or have an event. We placed a short notice order to feed approx.. 20 people & boy did Blue’s BBQ knock it out of the park! Portions were perfect, food was AMAZING, service was courteous and quick. Our whole group is looking forward to Blues BBQ again!

Used them to cater a graduation party, service was awesome and friendly, they provided everything, and the food was excellent. Brisket was perfect, pulled pork and chicken along with an amazing pasta salad. Highly recommend it for your next event, or to grab a quick bite to eat.

Who doesn’t have brisket?? Also they even replaced it with well done tri-tip. Really sucks, it likes they got cheap. Definitely time for a real bbq smoke house. Service is nice and respectful.

Great place to get some great BBQ. All their BBQ is amazing! Their meats are always juicy and tender. They’ve got mild and spicy BBQ, both have great flavor. Highly recommend checking them out!

I already knew Montana was king, for years Ive said the best bbq Ive had in my life was in Great Falls. I was skeptikal when i arrived, its connected to a gas station after all. I ordered the small rib plate and the brisket and smoked turkey combo. I actually ate in order of greatness coincidentally…the slaw, nothing special, the potato salad, yumm love eggy potatoy joy. Then the beans extra good big hunks of pork sweet and thick. Then the brisket, never had brisket like this not overdone with some pink so thick and juicy. The turkey, perfectly smoked juicy and a joy to eat. Then the ribs…. My oh my never ever have i had ribs like this. At first glance they seem charred snd look dry. Then you bite in and its so tender moist and just the right spice rub on it. You know its real goodness when they serve all their meats unsauced, thats confidence in your perfectly cooked offerings. I would have paid 100 for this it was that good. I feel deeply saddened that i live 1000 miles away.

This place is everything you want see in your barbeque spot. It’s a hike in the wall, check. You can smell the meats smoking before you ever, check. The atmosphere and service is minimal, check. The only down side is they try to do everything like a chain reserving would. The food is good but not awesome because they have not focused on one cut or meat and but all their effort into the one thing they are good at. The ribs are awesome. The brisket is dry there is not fat in it. The pulled pork is okay. The sides I have tried are on point.

First of all, thumbs up on the food. I’ve had BBQ in all 50 states, and eaten at all the best places. I also consider myself to be a pitmaster and would put my ribs and brisket up against any… but I’m here to talk about Blues. The brisket was a tad dry but smoky and tender. The ribs were close to perfect — which to me means the meat maintains its integrity and doesn’t fall off the bone. The beans, with a squirt of hot BBQ sauce were very good and I liked the coleslaw. The hot BBQ sauce was Memphis-style —it wasn’t hot but had a good sweetness. The mild was kind of flavorless. All of that said, I gave it three stars because the place is a dump — as bad as I’ve ever seen. The dining room is more like the messiest store room, than it is a place to eat. I can’t imagine caring so little about your customers that you’d have them sit there. See the photos. I’ll eat here again, but am likely to use the drive through.
