The only redeeming quality was that it was cooked exactly as I requested, which is the bare minimum expected at any steakhouse. I've had steaks of similar or better quality at Texas Roadhouse and Longhorn for about half the price, and those meals included two sides and bread. We even had to return one steak because nearly half of the 16-ounce cut was pure fat—only about 8 ounces was actual meat. I've never sent food back at a restaurant before, but when you're spending that much on a single piece of meat, you expect to be satisfied. To make matters worse, we felt dismissed when expressing our concerns about the quality of the steak as if we were inexperienced diners. They did offer us a complimentary sirloin in an attempt to make amends, which I appreciate. However, if we hadn't had a gift card, I wouldn't have considered dining here at all due to the high prices. I'm still puzzled about what exactly justified the cost. It feels like Open Range relies on unsuspecting tourists, while most locals would likely choose to spend their money elsewhere.

Our server was outstanding and very accommodating. We shared two entrees and an appetizer among the three of us. The bison steak was phenomenal, and the speck cut was impressive. The beef steak was incredibly tender and practically melted in our mouths, perfectly accompanied by expertly cooked carrots, salad, and fries. While the dessert menu wasn’t quite to our liking, it did align well with the restaurant's distinctive theme. We highly recommend making reservations.

The service staff were exceptional, and the menu was perfectly executed, showcasing the best key lime pie I have ever had. The bar provided excellent service and offered Montana-inspired drinks that everyone loved. Some of our association members, who have been attending events like this for 35 years, said this was the best conference dinner they've ever experienced. Great job all around! I would absolutely host another event at Open Range.

While the overall menu is on the pricier side, the burger was reasonably priced and delicious. The drink selection was also excellent, and the bartender (I think his name was Tyler) provided great recommendations. The service was attentive; my glass was never empty for long. The staff was friendly and engaged in conversation while efficiently managing their tasks. Just be sure to check the prices before you sit down so you know what to expect on the bill, though that’s a good idea wherever you go.
