Ted’s Montana Grill

The only New York outpost of the bison-centric restaurant chain is in Midtown, and adventurous meat-eaters flock from all over the city to taste the lean protein. It’s not all bison burgers, either—though you could certainly sample one with bacon and cheddar ($21) or another with gruyere, blue cheese, caramelized onions and arugula ($22). Sample the bison nachos with pepper jack cheese ($12), dabble in the barbecue bison short ribs ($26) or go all out with the aged bison filet ($40). Of course, there are also plenty of bison-free options, like the cedar plank salmon ($28) or the beer-glazed roasted half chicken with garlic mashed potatoes ($23). Ted’s Montana Grill also offers a full beer and wine menu, plus several signature cocktails. You may still be in the big city, but you’ll certainly get a taste of Big Sky Country.
