There is a shelf right next to the cash register where you can grab whichever ones you want and bring it back to your table. We were already trying these before we had our food. The cafe itself is super cute and cozy with plants all around and different pieces of art. They even sell items from local artists including beef tallow lotion and earrings. They have a clean bathroom and an outdoor eating area. They have a vast menu for lunch where the sandwiches are names after dogs and a smaller menu for breakfast. We go there around 11 and were able to order from both so unsure if there is a time limit for either. The staff were so sweet and gave their recommendations and even though it's a cafe, they will bring out your food for you when it's ready. We did still bring our dishes back to the counter, unsure how they generally do that though. We asked for pickles and they kindly gave us some. The burritos were huge and filling but the sandwiches themselves were also good. Unsure what names were but I didn't love the one with the carrots in them. The staff recommended the breakfast sandwich with the biscuit, and although it was good, the biscuit was not the best choice. It broke so easily and made a mess. Unsure of the name of the drink but it was like a lemonade and it was delicious. Definitely would come back and try more hot sauce though

Picked up sandwiches twice to bring into the park and they were a welcome meal after a morning of hiking. Loved that they featured gifts and things to purchase from local artists and makers.

My husband wanted a biscuit breakfast sandwich with sausage - they were out of biscuits. So I got him a bagel breakfast sandwich with sausage instead. I ordered sausage links for my baby, I asked if they had any kind of fruit I could buy for my baby. They said no that they only had bananas for smoothies - which is odd being a place that sells fruit smoothies... For myself I ordered a croissant sausage breakfast sandwich and a mango madness smoothie). My mother in law wanted a lotus energy drink - but they were out of lotus syrup. A few minutes later the gal that rang us up came to our table and let us know they were out of sausage for breakfast sandwiches. Asked what we wanted instead. They still has sausage links, so that's what we had on our sandwiches. When our food was ready they brought everything over except the sausage for my baby - which they clearly forgot to make cause that was a long wait till it arrived (5 or more minutes). Putting food in front of a hungry baby and none of it is for him is not a good idea lol. My husband ended up giving him his sausage and wait to eat his sandwich till they brought more over. I also gave my baby some of my smoothie - the smoothie was good. So, out of several items, and forgot part of our order.... Just seemed a bit chaotic. Food and smoothie was good and the people who work there are nice.

We ordered a few items off the menu and asked for pickles on the side, and they gave us both pickles and jalapeños. This cafe is right by the original Yellowstone sign, so it is a perfect stop before you enter the park. They have some Yellowstone merch in here, so I, of course, had to get a hat. The menu had a variety of sandwiches and desserts with their speciality Huckleberry. It started to get pretty busy after we got in, but we were still able to get a seat in the back for all of us. The sandwiches were great, and some came with chips. They were an easy, quick eat that didn't leave too much of a mess. If I weren't full, I would've wanted to try some ice cream cause we did see them bring in like 24 huge tubs of ice cream.

Honestly this is one of the best places to eat in Gardiner, Montana after finding this place we kept eating here.

We ate outside on the sidewalk patio, which offers a nice atmosphere just outside the gates of Yellowstone. It's a great spot to sit outside, enjoy the weather, and take in the activity of Gardiner. One thing I'm personally not a fan of is being asked to leave a tip when ordering, before you've actually received any food or service. I know this has become increasingly common at counter-service restaurants, but it's a practice I could definitely do without. Overall, a solid spot to grab a bite while visiting Gardiner and Yellowstone.

Somehow I got lucky and there was no line when we showed up. That hadn't been the case when we drove by and tried to visit earlier in our trip. I had an iced latte and my husband an iced Americano. Both were very good and you can tell they take time brewing their shots. We also tried a breakfast sandwich on a jalapeño bagel and bacon, and it was very good! Tasted like it was out of a bagel shop in NYC. We also ordered a breakfast burrito with bacon and it was not your average burrito. It was more of a wrap, but it was GOOD! And the salsa was fire! Spicy and very tasty. Homemade for sure! We will surely be back when in the area! Highly recommend you do the same

There is a variety of artwork, from fun posters to beautiful nature photos along the walls. For the dinner service, we also appreciated the candlelight feel with instrumental pop music in the background. We stayed primarily in the dining area but also noticed that the restaurant appears to have a bar and maybe casino in the backroom? A huge plus is a souvenir shop featuring tons of Huckleberry products next door. Now on to the food! We were very impressed. My husband ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich and I ordered the bison burger. The servers were all so friendly and kind and super helpful, recommending the bison to be cooked medium. The food portions were generous, the fries were crispy, and the bison burger was juicy with the right amount of tomato, lettuce, pickles, and melted Swiss cheese to make the flavors pop. Could you tell how much we loved the food? To top it all off, we ordered dessert and had the most delicious Huckleberry cobbler with Huckleberry ice cream. I asked the waitress if that was too much Huckleberry, and she said the ice cream was a hit -- it really made the dessert. Oddly, it was reminiscent of breakfast, but in the best way. The cobbler was warm, the Granola was crunchy, and the ice cream was cool and sweet. The medley of textures honestly made this the best dessert I've had this year. Hats off to the Yellowstone Mine staff and chefs for making the start of our trip so memorable!
