The debate about which state has the best BBQ has been going on for ages. Some people will tell you that Kansas City is as good at it gets, while others prefer Texas BBQ.

If you're looking for the best Texas BBQ in Montana, you'll need to visit Bozeman. Yellow House Barbecue serves up Texas-inspired small batch barbecue. Chef Austin Brown uses wood that's shipped from Texas, and the flavors burst in your mouth. The restaurant is located inside of a rustic yellow house located at 609 West Mendenhall Street in Bozeman and is open Fri-Sun 11:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m.

I am a huge fan of Chef Austin and the crew at Yellow House Barbecue. If you love good barbecue, the restaurant needs to be on your radar.
