Reviews for Bad Betty's Barbecue in Helena, MT
Worst communication ever regarding food truck availability at an event. I reached out to John, general manager, countless times... via email and in person at the restaurant to secure the food truck for an event. I started emailing him 2 months ago and alsoshowed up visiting at the restaurant with John. He was always "too busy" to spend five minutes confirming reservations with methat he verbally agreed to. He rarely got back to me claiming he wasn't getting the emails. However, he randomly responded totwo emails in the thread. He did state that the food truck would be at our event but did not respond to clarification questionsand questions regarding us signing a contract to commit. Just one week before our event, John responded and just canceledclaiming lack of staffing and he said the owner told him they had to cancel. I would love to visit with the owner who probablyhas no idea how many times another committee member and I have reached out to John without a response. Now we are stuck with nofood truck as we were counting on Bad Betty's trying to give them the benefit of the doubt due to John claiming he wasn'tgetting the emails and the restaurant was busy! Such poor service! I thoroughly understand that all businesses struggle withstaffing but he could have talked to the owner earlier and kept in constant communication with us. I welcome an email or callfrom the owner regarding this matter. Read more
Great meat! They do only a few things here, but they do them well. First impression was great. Perfectly seasoned meat with just... the right amount of kick. Pickle and slaw a great addition as well. Premises are on the small side and limited hours, but clean,well kept, and well priced. Read more
The atmosphere has a quaint feel to it with the multiple antiques and wood tables. The food is delicious and reasonably priced... with today's food costs. Portions are plentiful. Always pleased eating here.I had the combo platter for $13.50 highlyrecommended. Read more
Ordered the Holy trinity on their recommendation. It's really good. Too big to eat unless you either have a gigantic mouth or... eat some of the stuff on top first. They actually have really good coleslaw! Had the Wicked beans as a side and it wasfantastic. Had a little bit of their house sauce on the side and it was great with a vinegar zip to it. Read more
The chicken platter was decent. I prefer my chicken slightly more done, but the rub they use is really good (the chicken wasn't... undercooked or raw. I just prefer mine to be on the verge of fall-apart done, which is over-cooked to some.) Their sauce is nicetoo - not too sweet and a slight spicy kick on the back end. The beans weren't bad, either. I'm definitely going to go back andgive their ribs and brisket a try. Read more
Really nice people so that earned them an extra star. I am from the South and looking for some good barbecue. I may have to just... open a restaurant to get good food in Montana. The brisket taste store bought like from Costco or something. The mac & cheesetaste like it is from the box. Overall, the food is bland and I will not be eating here again. Read more
Great service, awesome food. We went on a Wednesday and got the briket special. Was fairly busy for lunch but still got our food... quick. Two meals was enough for two adults and two toddlers. We were given a couple of fidget spinners that made my toddlersday. Loved the Mac and cheese Read more
