Welcome to Bad Betty's Barbecue
Located in downtown Helena, Bad Betty’s Barbecue is a true urban Barbecue joint in the heart of Montana. Bad Betty’s Barbecue opened in November 2016 and is located on the east side of the Great Northern Town Center in Helena, Montana. Since then, owner and Pitmaster, Calvin Richards has been serving both traditional authentic Barbecue and creative dishes of Barbecue fusion that blend the best of the old world and the new.
Real Barbecue, No Shortcuts
We take barbecue seriously. Every dish is made fresh daily using high-quality, locally sourced ingredients. Our meats are slow-smoked to perfection, giving you that deep, rich flavor you expect from Southern-style barbecue. Choose from mouthwatering plates of brisket, pulled pork, or ribs, or go for a stacked sandwich loaded with smoky goodness. Our sides are just as important as the main event. From creamy mac and cheese to baked beans and coleslaw, we’ve got everything to round out your meal.

We hired BBBBQ for our son's wedding rehearsal, and they were unequivocally AMAZING! They were on time, set up in minutes, and fed 50+ people some of the most amazing, strait off the grill, hot, smokey, delicious BBQ we've ever had in our life! I would solidly recommend them again, and in fact, when my daughter gets married, we're hiring them again!!

I have lived in Helena for a few years and had never heard of Bad Betty’s until today, and let me just say my life was CHANGED! I ordered a mac daddy bowl with pulled pork, and each mouthwatering bite just left me wanting more. The Slaw and pickles on top sealed the deal, and my only critique of the food is that I wish I could have a whole jar of their pickles! The people were very nice, and the actual shop is very cute. Definitely worth the stop in Helena!
