Uniquely Montana. A Big Sky Tradition.

Beginning as a hunting lodge in 1946, Buck’s T-4 eventually grew into one of Southwest Montana’s favorite roadhouses.  Buck and Helen Knight opened the business with a philosophy of home-cooked food and genuine, friendly service.  The Lazy T-4 brand became synonymous with friends, food and fun in the Gallatin Canyon.  Mike Scholz purchased the lodge from the Knights in 1972, and kept that philosophy interwoven in his business as he expanded the property to become Buck’s T-4 Lodge. 

Buck’s now features a 74-room hotel, with spacious lobby and meeting facilities.  The restaurant consists of six dining rooms and a large banquet hall.  There is a variety of catering and banquet space available as well.  The original bar that Buck Knight built in 1952 from local lodgepole pine is still in use today.

Buck’s has developed a long-standing reputation for professional and personable service in a warm, western atmosphere.  We believe in providing the best possible cuisine and service for our guests, while retaining the original Montana ambiance that started with the Knights.  We feel that culinary excellence and pretension do not necessarily go hand-in-hand.  The restaurant’s construction of local logs and river rock, and décor featuring game and fish trophies and Gary Carter western art conveys the feeling of western hospitality that has become a Buck’s T-4 trademark.
