For the negative reviews, simply understand one is in a busy national park with food designed to quickly be served to a large crowd of people. Canyon Village is one of the larger stops and gathering areas within Yellowstone so have a bit of patience and understanding. Yes it is theme park style food with limited options, I wasn't expecting a James Beard Award meal here. For the wait, had a part of 5 took about 10 mins to get seated for our party. You are provided a buzzer when ready so you can shop the store for gifts or groceries in the mean time. I wasn't very hungry and grabbed chili and huckleberry float which hit the spot for me. Neither item was to write home about, but took care of topping off prior to getting back on the road for some more park adventure. Should it be crowded there is a to go kiosk in which you can order and not wait to be seated. There are other options as well if coffee and a quick snack or hotdog is to your liking the grocery side has that counter. There are also some quick bite sandwiches one can grab on that side as well. Prices are what are to be expected within this venue, but not over the top. Enjoy the stop and experience in Canton Village, just expect crowds and wait times in busy season or depending on time of the day you stop in. Oh plenty of parking available with huge lot for cars and RVs to accommodate, multiple items within the immediate area to include Jr Ranger Center, Education Center, pizza parlor, etc.

I ordered the breakfast burrito with sausage, green bell peppers, onions, and eggs with buttery hash browns on the side, plus the soup of the day which was the Tuscan soup, and both were really good.

Everything at the table looked fresh and hearty. I also loved how easy checkout was. They bring the receipt directly to the table with a QR code so paying was quick and convenient, and our server was super accommodating by splitting the bill four ways with no issue. The restaurant itself has that cute cozy cabin-style feel, plus they sell fun T-shirts and souvenirs inside. Extra shoutout for helping me wrap my breakfast burrito to go before our flight. They brought me foil paper so I could keep it warm, tossed it in my bag, and yep... I ended up eating it on the plane later. Definitely a solid five-star breakfast stop while visiting Yellowstone!

Old Town Cafe was our pick since it seemed to have a variety of different dishes, including options without meat, and the prices seemed reasonable compared to some nearby competitors. The ambiance is casual with two different dining rooms and a few seats at the bar. We both enjoyed our meals - the trout entree and the chicken bacon pesto sandwich. Nothing fancy but they did the job and had generous portions. The huckleberry lemonade, a local drink, was also a refreshing surprise that wasn't too sweet. I definitely recommend giving this a try if you want to try something unique to the area. I'm all about casual dining, especially after a long day of activities, but will note that the waitress wasn't the friendliest and approached our table and asked how we wanted to pay the bill (one check or split) while I was only half finished with my meal. I definitely left rushed to finish and ended up taking my dinner roll to go to eat on my walk out.

The bartender was super nice and helpful with picking out the best stuff. Our drinks were also great. Huge selection of whiskeys and looks like every liquor.

Standard salads were refreshing start to unwind after crowds at Yellowstone. Excellently buttered and pan-seared trout with grilled asparagus and sauteed snap peas were wonderful. Timing is everything. Try to arrive before 6pm to avoid the queue. (Restaurant opens at 5pm; moderate sized dining room.)

They specialize in breakfast items and sandwiches, which were great for the road through Yellowstone. Inside can be small and crowded with a few picnic benches to sit at. I didn't get photos of the other things we ordered but all the sandwiches were really good, I was actually really impressed. They wrapped them into the little paper boats so it was mess free for the car ride. Some of the specials came with a bag of chips too. Most people look at the menus they have up front on the deli/fudge counter but the take out menu by the register had a larger selection for sandwiches too. It was a very popular place as everyone had the same idea to bring in sandwiches. Highly recommend getting there early because there was a line out the door when we left.

They are pretty much all huge historic dining rooms serving overpriced mass banquet food. We stayed here 3 nights and the Dining Room at Yellowstone Lake Hotel is NOT a great restaurant by any means, but if you get your timing right, it is better than it's other brethren. I say timing because this restaurant is thankfully no longer a buffet, yet they are often out of menu items, even as early as 6pm. When I asked the restaurant manager why, he said they get food deliveries daily, but "we serve 500 covers a day" (as if that were an excuse for being out of every single vegetable on the menu by 6pm). This is typical for Xanterra -- never an apology, always an excuse. So why is this restaurant better than, say, the Old Faithful Inn or Mammoth Dining Room? Because it's larger, with more vegetables and other choices (when available. The Shrimp & Grits are actually good. The vegan bolognese is serviceable and not overpriced. And dishes like the mediterranean plate and caesar salad that appear at other Xanterra menus seem to be done better here. But be careful ordering. Substitutions are made without telling the waiters or the guests. Many dishes (including side vegetables) are spicy when they are not advertised as such. And portions are all over the map. For example, one night we had two of the premium-priced entrees: The $45 scallops were barely an appetizer (3 scallops and a sickly corn-topped risotto). The $55 duck plate was loaded with enough duck and potatoes to feed an army. Yeah... I was going to give this place 3 or 4 stars for being better than others, but honestly . . . still 2 stars because of the shortcomings and the attitude. If this restaurant were in a city, it would fail FAST.
