This is the Miles City restaurant locals recommend first, so come hungry.
How Black Iron Grill won Miles City’s hearts
Black Iron Grill won its fans by working closely with local ranchers and purveyors, so the food is as fresh and high-quality as possible. 🤠
The star of the show is the applewood rotisserie, which is 100% American-made and fired by applewood. 🍎
The restaurant is proud to feature locally grown beef in its burgers and a locally produced cubed steak for its chicken fried steak. 🐂
The menu goes well beyond the rotisserie, with steaks, burgers, sandwiches, seafood, salads, and starters. 🍔
Even a beer-battered walleye appetizer makes an appearance, so seafood fans have something to cheer about.
Lunch, dinner, and carryout are all on offer, which makes it easy for busy locals to grab a favorite meal however their day unfolds. 🛍️
Even the building tells a story: the beams over the bar came from the Old Milwaukee Roundhouse, and a 1910 steam-powered iron bender greets guests at the front. 🚂
Put it all together, and you get a locally owned restaurant* that blends Montana ingredients, open-fire cooking, and a little railroad history into one memorable meal. 🔥
