A $24 bison burger ordered medium rare should not come out well done. And the gouda should be melted, not a hard cold slab of gouda. Having some lettuce and tomato would have been nice as well. Service felt rushed, despite no crowd. Overall not a great experience, and would recommend other places at Big Sky.

Chet’s is in the Huntley Hotel. As such it is the go to for hotel guests. Menu was, as the name implies, slightly upscale bar food. Bison Burger was a big hit with our crew. Very good and cooked to order. Pan-seared chicken was good with vegetables and potatoes. It was good but a bit on the sweet side. We started with the Mountain Board. Tasted but somewhat uninspired. Could certainly use more of a local flare to make it a true Mountain Board. Overall food and ambiance were great. Our server, who was likely brand-new, was terrible. He looked generally frantic and did not manage our order well bringing out one entree with the Mountain Board and bungling the rest including drink order. When I addressed the issue with the manager she apologized and made things right by buying our drinks and the Mountain Board. Overall not a bad place for casual meal post ski.

We were there the week before Christmas week and it seems like they were not adequately staffed. It took a very long time for our server to come to the table and then we heard the food was going take about an hour or so we gave up and left.

Horrible experience. Very long delays. Food came out cold and wrong and 1 or 2 people every 20 minutes. Managers excuse was that the chef did not come to work- it was his birthday. A TOTAL meltdown. We left hungry No excuse- they should have closed!! Words cannot express how bad it was. Many people just walked out.

Our server handled it gracefully, but we were not happy with some of our dishes. The meat on the bison burger way dry, but even worse was the meat on the Hot Henley. Maybe 10% of what was on my plate was edible. The rest was fat, grissle, or so overcooked I couldn’t even cut it. The ambiance was enjoyable but the food was mediocre.

We always eat at Chets when we take advantage of Big Sky Early Season specials at Huntley Lodge. Our server, Zachery Harris (Nametag says Zachery Breckenridge) was exceptional. He help us customize our dining experience. He was helpful and accomodating. And he made us the most delicious huckleberry cocktail for dessert.

There’s not many good restaurants in the upper part of big sky, the waiter forgot the protein for my salad, when it arrived my salad was over, my daughter wanted potatoes when I requested ketchup the potatoes were eaten by my daughter already, like many places they’re understaffed and to their credit compensate me for my protein part of my order. It’s just not that great right now with the service or restaurants in the upper part of big sky.

Worst Rib Eye in my life! I asked for med-rare; it came medium well and waaaaaaay too salty! It was $65.. All the food was heavily salted. Waitress was average. She should have served the drinks at one time on a tray. We had to ask for appropriate red wine glasses. Clearly the wait staff needs training. Very disappointing. Not worth the money!

I can't recall our server's name, but she was fantastic, sweet, and very attentive. It's nice having wonderful service especially during these "difficult" times. Since we loved the Mountain board last time, we chose to have it again and it was just as good as we remembered. Also ordered the chickpea orzo and red velvet cake. Everything was delicious and nicely presented. A large open dining space, great for large groups or a small intimate table for two, with views of the slopes and pool/tub area out back. There's also a small bar up front as well as a few small tables in that area as well. Prices are what to be expected for mountain resort dining but service was definitely on par. Thank you, to the staff and Chet's! We'll be back next time we're here skiing

Salmon was nicely cooked. Said it came with Aspargus, but could hardly see the pieces of Asparagus, it was more of a garnish. Presentation on Salmon was pretty. Husband said his philly seemed overcooked, and roll soggy. You are sort of stuck at resort for a nice dinner meal unless you want to travel by bus if you don't have a car. What we had was average, not amazing. Good enough. Salads looked good, though I did not order one.
