    "Setting Up Camp" Rye, Sweet Vermouth & Orange Cinnamon Simple - Simply Delicious.
    Christopher R.

    Cool cabin vibe. Be it a big cabin. It was nice to have a place close to the campground. The drinks were great, maybe it was the altitude change for me, I dunno, I don't care. They were good. The food was good too however I thought it was a bit pricy. $19 for a burger? It wasn't really that big of a burger either. After staying a week I know see that $19 is about the normal asking price in that area however the burger was not as good as others for that price. I would have liked a little bit more in a burger especially since everything else was so good. The apps were great too. When staying in under canvas your options are limited, this menu is a little pricy and maybe fancy but the next place is a 15 min drive.

    The food is decent for the price but I'm going to talk about the way the food is served and the use of metal trays and what they consider to be environmentally friendly. I'm considering all the restrictions due to Covid-19 so I'm not going to get into details. All the food is served on a metal tray lined with brown paper. This makes no sense, especially when you're trying to cut up meat. The brown paper soaks into the food and even sticks to the food when you're scooping it up to eat. If you're not paying attention, you'll be eating the brown paper as well. Secondly, they use 100% recycled utensils and cups and make known they're proud to do so to help the environment. But, when asked if they recycle the recycled items, which are 100% recyclable, they said no. Try cutting up Elk using a plastic knife. It ain't easy! Food is good. Just don't get caught up in their environmentally friendly marketing.

    Bison burger and beet salad
    Jiaxin G.

    We came here for dinner because we were staying in under the canvas. The restaurant looked super cool because of all the mounted animals inside. It wasn't busy but there's couple people waiting in front of us. The hosts asked us if we had reservation when we approached. We didn't have reservation but the host went ahead to arrange the table for us. We sat on the big table next to the bar and had a nice view of the outside. Our waiter was a guy whose name I didn't remember. He's gotten another server behind him. I think he's showing that person how to take orders or what not. He's nice when he took out drink orders. However, he was kinda rude when he took our food orders. First, he insisted we order in clockwise direction. Maybe that's easier for him to keep track but it didn't come out of his mouth nicely. Second, my sister asked him if the kale salad come uncooked or sauteed. He's like dud it's a salad. I am sure I have had sauteed kale salad in other restaurant! In fact, I think sauteed kale salad tastes better. She ended up getting the beet salad. Anyway, the bison burger was ok. It tasted just like beef though.The pork chop ($29) was very tender. It's highlight of the night. The elk tenderloin ($39) was good. Food was good overall. Waiter could be nicer though. The second time I was there for the $14 breakfast buffet. It's consisted of scramble eggs, pancakes, sausages, bacon, potatoes, milk, apple juice and such. The waitress we got was very nice this time. We got there around 10 but food was running out. I could only get some pancakes on my first round. I saw the chef coming out refilling the pancakes but he's also surprised that food ran out so fast. I saw some people taking Togo box of food. I am not sure how that work since it's buffet style. But that's definitely part of the reason why food run out quickly. We waited for a while but I didn't get to eat scramble eggs. We sat near the front door while food were served on the other side. So food ran out before I walked to the food station. Anyway, pancakes were very good.

    Mushroom au gratin
    Julia R.

    While staying at the Bar N Ranch, I decided to try the restaurant. It was slated to be a fine dining establishment where reservations would be necessary. When I arrived, it was so early that there weren't many people dining there. I sat at the bar and ordered Sparkling Rosé. The bartender was outstanding with great recommendations. For an appetizer, I tried the mushroom au gratin. The mushrooms were cooked well, and were delicious with the fresh bread. For dinner, I had the salmon that was on top of a beet purée and hummus purée. It was delicious! Because I was on vacation, I then had dessert. I tried the strawberry toaster pastries. They were very disappointing. The presentation was gorgeous, but frozen strawberries were used so it made the puff pastry soggy, and some of the berries were still cold. Overall, I would say the food was good. I wouldn't say it ranks with some of the other places that I visited while in that area. I was disappointed also that it seemed some employees were stressed out and annoyed when there weren't many customers in the place! The other shocker was that "steak-frites" was not available on a Friday night! I understand running out of things being far out, but it seems that a main dish like that should always be available! I have to go 3 stars, though the bartender would get 5!!

    Rack of elk with Idaho potatoes with truffles  and roasted veggies. So flavorful
    Alyssa C.

    This place was amazing. Our favorite hidden gem 1/4-1/2 mile off the highway tucked in a farm. Everything was fantastic, very friendly staff, great food. I got the rack of elk and my fiancé got the bison burger. We also had roasted balsamic and honey Brussel sprouts and goat cheese with honey to die for. They also will give you free smores for desert to bring outside to the cozy fire pits they have outside. You have to try this place! If we ever go back to Yellowstone we will be returning to eat and hopefully stay at the Under Canvas luxury tent experience.

    Bar N Ranch interior with taxidermied animals
    Darian E.

    Bar N Ranch is a lucky find for any road-weary traveler fresh out of a day of hiking at Yellowstone. Located a 10 minute drive west of West Yellowstone, Bar and Ranch is associated with a nearby lodge and ranch, complete with horses, cattle, and spectacular views of the surrounding mountainside and forest. Any visitor will be first struck by the spectacular ambiance of the place, complete with a collection of taxidermied animals, fireplaces, wine cellar, and grand pine tables and chairs. The perimeter of the restaurant is lined with windows so you can take in the landscape. Ambiance: 5/5 A mild criticism of the service. While the hostess was friendly and the food prompt to arrive (5 minutes for appetizers and 15 more for steak) the waitress was a bit harried and seemed overworked. Service: 4/5 The appetizer on my visit, a roasted red pepper soup made with Gouda cheese was the highlight of the visit. It was paired with an asiago cheese bread and butter that further complemented it. Appetizers: 5/5 As a steakhouse, I finished my meal with a 10oz NY Strip with blue cheese topping. The steak was juicy and tender, but not particularly phenomenal. Good, but not the exceptional quality I'd hope for for a steakhouse. The $33 price tag for all of the above is reasonable, however, and is a welcome relief for the city-dwelling steak lover. Steak: 4/5 Value: 5/5 Overall, Bar N Ranch shines for its ambiance, appetizers, and otherwise quality fare for the tourist town that is West Yellowstone. Excellent for families, I recommend it. Overall: 4.5/5

    Melon salad
    Carolyn B.

    We ate here two nights in a row during our stay at Under Canvas. It definitely has more of a ski lodge dining room feel on the inside but the food is great. All of our meals were high quality and well seasoned. I had trout the first night with melon salad and bison burger the second night w ratatouille appetizer. Both meals were great. For now, you order at the hostess desk and then the food is brought to your tables. Each diner gets their own tray and plastic utensils. Water is self serve.

Decided to stop in on a whim as we were not feeling all the touristy dinner spots in West Yellowstone. It was a weekday and we arrived an hour before closing without a reservation... it was packed, but a few tables looked open. However, they told us they weren't sure if we'd get a table since there were other parties waiting. We decided to take a flier and wait anyway since it was late. 20 minutes later, we were seated. Our server was very chipper and friendly, gave recommendations, and was proactive about letting us know what they'd run out of. (In my opinion, a place that runs out of some ingredients is a signal that they serve things fresh or not at all, a green flag.) My partner and I each got a variety of the chicken sandwich, while our friends shared the steak. Portions were large, chicken and steak was cooked appropriately, and the fries were some of the best any of us have ever had. All in all, we were glad we decided to forego the tourist traps closer to the park entrance. Anglers Riverfront was wonderful. We were even lucky enough to glimpse the sunset across the river while we ate, and we left happy with full bellies just before they closed up for the night. Would definitely stop by again next time we find ourselves in Island Park. Thanks so much for the hospitality, Anglers team.

They have outdoor dining where dogs are allowed as well as indoor dining with a bar. As of May 2026 when we went, the menu online was not the menu we received when we dined in, so I attached a photo but keep in mind it can change. The service here was great, it was out waitress Brooke's first night and she was wonderful. The manager and staff overall were fantastic and the food came out at a good pace, not too long or short a wait. For starters we ordered the grilled peach burrata salad, elk and bison chili, crispy brussel sprouts and chicken wings with huckleberry bbq sauce. Each of these were very tasty and we would eat them all again. I would argue the appetizers were better than the entrees. The wings were slightly under par compared to the other dishes, but that is just because they needed more huckleberry flavor (very light). For entrees we ordered the pan seared trout and the grilled ribeye. Both were massive portions, the trout came with wild rice and asparagus, the steak came with goat cheese mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts. The trout was served as two big filets (found a few small bones, but no big deal) and was cooked well, but one filet needed more seasoning and was a little fishy tasting. The rice was a bit boring and dry, but the asparagus were superb. The ribeye was cooked nicely and tasted even better with the chipotle lime butter it came with. The mashed potatoes were great and did taste of goat cheese and the brussel sprouts were delicious, very similar to the appetizer preparation. Similar to the trout, the portion of steak was large, but a good portion of it was gristle and fat (about 30-40%). Overall a nice meal with huge serving sizes. Had we known how big the entrees would be, we may have shared one or ordered less appetizers. Great service with a pleasant ambiance.

First of all, we were thrilled to see it was open, as so many of West Yellowstone's restaurants had already closed for the season. It was a real neighborhood kind of a place, and by that I mean totally unpretentious and without any of the foo-foo fanciness that pops up in resort towns now and again. Their menu was solid -and concentrated on burgers, sandwiches, steaks, local elk, bison and walleye, and Italian Pasta with a "Montana Twist". More on that soon. We started off with a complimentary basket of house baked bread that was so good it just about disappeared in ten minutes. I felt like having a beer, so checked out their beer list of local beers before choosing a Halo Huckleberry Hefe ($6) by Lewis and Clark Brewing of Helena, Montana. Huckleberry is a local specialty, and nearly every gift shop sold jam, jelly, honey, and candies made from it. We both love Italian food, so we zeroed in on those Italian Pasta with a Montana Twist specialties. My wife chose the Bolognese ($23.99) for "Elk and bison meat sauce tossed with rigatoni pasta and topped with shaved Parmesan cheese." I went with the Meatballs ($24.99) for "Elk and bison meatballs tossed with bucatini pasta and house-made marinara sauce". Wowie... were both dishes great. The Elk and Bison tasted pretty close to beef, and I have to say my meatballs were excellent. I tried a bite of the Rigatoni Bolognese and it was also excellent. The house made marinara was a standout. Our server Emily was a charmer and really enhanced our dining experience. Simply put, we loved Bullwinkles and thought a $57 dinner with a drink and great food is a very solid value.
