M R Hummers

Hurry — Bernie is going to retire and we will be so very sad to see Hummer’s go. The food is always fabulous — very consistent, home made, yummy. I can’t help myself when it comes to his version of a Philly Cheese Steak sandwich. The vegie burgers are also great. Soups are always home made. Really fabulous!

Been coming to Big Sky every year for the past 14 years. Today decided to give M R Hummers a try. My family had walked in and been seated by the waitress who had taken our drink orders. About 3 minutes later the waitress returned and asked if we were ready to order. My daughter had been looking at her cell phone ski tracking app to see where we had skied and hadn’t looked at the menu. The waitress rolled her eyes and said under her breath as she walked away, «cell phones». I said to relax, we were essentially the only patrons in the restaurant. She then proceeded to loudly berate me from across the restaurant and wouldn’t let it go. In general, everyone at Big Sky is friendly and nice. We’ve had nothing but good service at Montana Jacks, The Cabin, Moonlight Lodge and every other place we’ve eaten. This was the rudest waitress I’ve ever experienced anywhere. Avoid M R Hummers if you have kids, just want to sit and relax or in general want to talk about your ski day. Go to M R Hummers if you want to be rushed and treated rudely. I can’t comment on the food although the menu was very limited. We left prior to eating.

Been coming to Big Sky all my life, Bernie (the owner) is awesome. Love the food, THE SIDE SALAD, the burgers, the hummer shots, excellent.

Yummy Elk
The service was wonderful and the restaurant has a wonderrful location right near the base of the mountain. I loved the twin elk chops. They were absolutely delicious. Make sure to order them when you first arrive because they almost ran out the night we were there.

We are now a party of 5 sitting at a different restaurant in Big Sky after having been ignored at M R Hummers. We waited for 10 minutes for the waitress to take our order, and upon her arrival, she immediately announced that the kitchen was backed up and that our food would «be awhile». She refused to tell us what «awhile» was, and was clearly irritated that we had even bothered to take a seat. We ordered and got drinks, and since our dinners came with salads, we thought that would get us by until «awhile» happened.
25 minutes later, no salad, and no visit to our table to even see if we needed drinks. We flagged her down for more soda, and she begrudgingly complied. Between delivering orders, I watched her being her own bartender, making and delivering drinks and even cleaning dishes before handling plates full of food! At 40 minutes, I approached the hostess (who had seated a few tables, but largely remained at her empty podium leaning against it with her back turned to the dining room instead of helping guests), and asked to at least be served our salads. She said our waitress was very busy, and I said «Well, right now she is bartending». She approached her and a few employees huddled together (none of them ever entering the kitchen), and the hostess came back to our table and said that the kitchen doesn’t even have the salads up yet. The waitress arrived right behind her and said there was nothing they could do and that we were welcome to leave.
Clearly our business was not welcome or required. This is not just a rogue staff missing it’s boss for an evening. This is a systemic failure from the top down when the staff feels that it’s OK to ask guests to leave when they are under-​staffed and lazy. I looked around to see if Chef Ramsey was there «shutting the f-​ing place down», but alas, it was just us being shown the door because we were silly enough to expect at least minimal service.
MR Hummers may think that just because they are up on the mountain that they will just automatically get customers, but there are plenty of other places to eat up there, and you are not that special. Bad service will eventually shut you down, and take your precious uptight staff with you.

This place was laughably terrible. I wanted to give our server the benefit of the doubt because we had a group of about 10. But not only was the service terrible, but the food was mediocre and overpriced for iceberg lettuce.
My husband asked what side options were available if he ordered a burger. French fries or onion rings. No vegetables, side salads, or other options. Fried onions or fried potatoes. So he ordered a salad that was nothing more than soggy iceberg lettuce and lunch meat turkey.
I wasn’t that hungry but knew I was going to be hungry later while on the slopes. There were no healthy side options… so I asked if I could order the child’s cheese and crackers even though I wasn’t a child. The waitress nods yes, and winks at me. This was listed for $ 2 on the menu. This plate appears (should have taken a picture)…2 packets of saltines and 1 slice of velveeta cheese (pre-​sliced processed cheese) cut in half. I almost laughed out loud. THEN… our check appears and I’m charged $ 5.95 for this!!! Most restaurants give saltine crackers for free! You’re charging me $ 6 for 1 slice of processed cheese?! We pointed this out to the waitress who responded, «Yes, that’s what the menu says, you asked for it, I’ll show you.» She then retrieves a menu to be only be proven wrong and agrees to adjust this to $ 2 (which, come on, is still a racket). The only thing that was acceptable a about the meal was my mimosa-​which was probably because they handed me the mini bottle to open myself (I didn’t screw it up).

Awesome dive-​ski bar. Great food, awesome service. Our waiter was quick, and funny! Try the ribs, they’re tasty.

We ate here after skiing and found it to be adequate, nothing more… just adequate.
The food was satisfactory; the service was worthy of Denny’s.
Bottom line: If you are going to pay Big Sky prices for dinner, go somewhere else, like a place where the staff knows to serve main dishes with entrée facing the diner. And, with a more upscale crowd.

I had lunch here today. It was OK. I had their special soup and sandwich. It was as advertised, but nothing special. The service was good, particularly considering the number of people who descended on it all at once. The place needs to be spruced up. Its advantage is its location and pricing. I would not avoid it, if I am back, but it is no my first choice. Decent sandwich for a decent price.

I was at a conference in Big Sky and had only a few minutes for lunch. I wandered into the mall and found this little hidden gem. The place was busy for lunch, but the owner greeted me himself and sat me at the bar. He quickly took my order (buffalo burger with cheddar) and made me feel very comfortable. As the seats filled in around me, more than one person knew him, and he called them by name. So obviously a favorite with the locals.
The burger was juicy. He brought me sides upon request, and I was able to pile on the toppings of my choice. The fries were fresh and crisp. I had water since I had a meeting to get back to so I couldn’t sample the line of brews on tap, but I will have to next time. Let’s get down to brass tacks: it’s a pub joint. No high class food here, but a good solid meal with great views of the mountain and a local neighborhood bar attitude. I’d definitely come back here.

This place is in a great location in the center of the mountain village. The dress is casual but the food is very upscale! We loved the rustic atmosphere!
We had the shrimp stuffed mushrooms for an appetizer and they were very good!
For dinner I had the ½ rack of Baby Back Ribs and my husband had the Pecan crusted Walleye. Both of them were fabulous! The half rack was plenty of food for me and the flavor and tenderness was amazing. I tried the Walleye and it was fantastic! Both dinners had size salad and a choice of sides to choose from. Both were well worth the money!
We will be back when we return to Big Sky!

I was on the mountain and a local from Bozeman recommended Hummers.
The location is very convenient to the lifts… in the corner of the mall underneath the cafeteria.
It was after 1pm and I had to wait about 5 minutes for a spot at the bar. I ordered a buffalo burger with swiss & mushrooms and a cold smoke ale. Great combination.
Chatted for a bit with folks at the bar and went back to the mountain. Good burger, and the entire order cost me less than the chili & salad bar I had two days before at the cafeteria.
Service was good. Nice place to stop for a burger and beer.

The manager says to eat elsewhere. We had just flown in from the east coast and were hungry. We approached the desk, and the host– an older gentleman, who looked like the manger– was there. He informed us that they didn’t serve dinner until 5:30. I asked what options were available to to weary travelers who had jut flown in from the east coast. In a condescending tone, he told us to «eat on the plane». We left, still hungry, and believing that airline food was better than this place.
