This was an awful experience. The rooms are disgusting. We felt gross the moment we walked in. Lights were dangling, doors painted over, old nasty furniture and a rug that would make you gag. I had to put shoes on when getting out of the shower to keep my feet from getting dirty. We had to sleep with a cover over our face because the carpet had a horrible stinch. When we made manager aware he got defensive and said they would send someone to clean but they never did. Questionable people smoking pot next to room. Air so loud it sounded like a jet taking off. We had to rig the door because it wouldn't lock. It is horrible. Do NOT stay here. read more

Room was very noisy. Kept us up until two in the morning. I called the front desk several times, no answer, no response. Very BAD experience. Mike B read more

I was looking for a place to spend a night at Gardiner, MT and found this lodge through a hotel website with a great deal so I decided to book it since I'm solely there for a few hours to sleep before getting up early in the morning and driving to Yellowstone. I met the housekeeper named Karen, which she's a lovely lady to talk to, helped me out check in and gave me a passcode to enter our room. I booked at the studio lodge which came with a small kitchen, fridge, dining sets, coffee maker, microwave, pots and pans, and a knife set. It was a really nice set up if you're planning on cooking something instead of ordering through the Grillhouse next door. The room does have AC, TV with AppleTV 4K, a full size bed and a stand in shower in the bathroom. Overall, this place was really nice and clean. There is also a menu of the grill house in case if you wanted to order something, very convenient. I got up early in the morning and made myself breakfast using the kitchen which is exactly what I wanted out of the room. All appliances work great and had no issues. Now just looking at the reviews here, I now realize why it was cheap. I honestly think that they have made an effort in changing their history and I think they did an amazing job. My experience here have been overall positive and I would book with them again for the utility that the room has. read more

Really cool atmosphere. Food was good. Our first time in Montana. Definitely will come back if we ever visit again.

I wish there was a way to put a negative number on here. This is the absolute worst service I've ever experienced the staff was rude and completely unprofessional clearly not trained! read more

Cowboy Lodge and Grill Worst food of our life, run done walk away. we were visiting Yellowstone and happened to end up at this place. After waiting for 1 1/2 hour, yes one and half, we got 3 pieces of black plastic placed in the middle of two dry buns and some fries. We should not have waited, we should not have eaten that rubber band but after whole day walking, hiking at 7 pm we were so hungry we just did. Run away. https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g45184-d1790915-r800195372-Cowboy_Lodge_and_Grill-Gardiner_Montana.html# read more

DO NOT EVER STAY HERE. Cowboy's Lodge has BED BUGS. I stayed one night and got bitten all over my body. The infestation was that bad. Not only did I have to contend with painful, itchy, horrible bites for the next month but COWBOY's LODGE AND GRILLE REFUSED TO ADMIT THEY HAVE BED BUGS. They refused to reimburse us even though we paid for 2 nights and could not stay there a second night since it was crawling with blood sucking disgusting bugs. We had to pay for another hotel room somewhere else for premium rates because it was last minute booking. They denied the whole thing and tried to tell us we were making it up. Even though I had bites everywhere and we found LIVE BUGS IN THEIR BEDS. I spent my trip to Yellowstone suffering pain and discomfort and it was almost ruined. IT WAS HORRIBLE. Since they refused to admit they have bed bugs they WILL STILL HAVE BED BUGS. SAVE YOURSELF THE TROUBLE AND DO NOT STAY HERE. YOU WILL REGRET IT. If I could put negative stars I would read more

Paige on New Years Day was so pleasant and fun. The food was alright but it tasted better because we had good service. Thanks Paige for being so sweet on a day you should of had off. read more

Showed up right at closing and they still seated us and gave awesome service. We had the Buffalo burger and it was thick and juicy and pink...it was delicious!!! So good we're back here eating 2 days later. read more

Awesome, awesome burgers! Tasty and fresh grilled bun, cooked perfectly, had huckleberry habanero sauce on mine, amazing!! Fries could be better, not a fan of the battered fries. They were fresh but prefer natural cut or steak fries. The Vermont Cheddar Fried Curds with the Huckleberry Habanero sauce is great, paired with a Brickhaus Blood Orange Blonde! Yummy! Staff had masks but some were wearing below their noses. Will definitely be back here again!! read more

Great atmosphere good food but bad service. We asked to sit outside because we had our dog with us. We had to go inside and order at the register, was told to get myself our drinks and condiments and was brought our food in a to go bag and never heard or saw them again. They were very understaffed even if we would have been inside there were only two people waiting on tables and lots of people going in. read more

Rodeo fries, chili dog, fried chicken, and chicken fried steak all wonderful! Shandy was perfect for the summer afternoon. Great stop before exploring the park read more

Never even got to eat, host had a poor system of name taking and let families wait an hour without being seated while they sat walk-ins. While I can't say anything about the food, I can say the customer service and lack of empathy was terrible. read more

IMMEDIATELY NO! I felt like I got robbed. Not great food, even worse service. Took 30 minutes to get a table (wasn't a problem). Once we finally sat down it took 15 minutes for a server to come over just to say "you ready". I had a 21$ burger, so for that price you're expecting something a little tasty. Burger was well done when I asked for medium rare, and just didn't have much taste at all. I had a burger from the walk up grille at old faithful, and that was immensely better then what I was served. Felt like i should've spent 20 bucks instead of the 70 I spent, for the lack of service, and the lack of a burger really. Sadly they were about the only place open at the time. Highly suggest avoiding this tiny "restaurant". read more

I'm a little surprised by the not so positive reviews of Cowboy's. We always stop in when visiting the park, it's our little comfort food splurge :) The ribs are fantastic, winter slaw delicious, pulled pork savory & the cobblers are slightly rudimentary but OMG good. read more

Randomly booked a room here because we didn't like the chaos inside Yellowstone. So cute! It was perfect. This is the way to do Yellowstone. Close enough to enter the cool part of the Park, but get away from the crowds and lines for food. Here you have choices. Staff at restaurant and lodge were beyond friendly and accommodating. We were sad it wasn't available a 2nd night. It has everything you need to be comfortable. Beds are super comfy, Netflix, full kitchen, very cute western decor. Right next to awesome restaurant and close enough to walk to shops. Perfect! read more

We stayed in the lodge for 3 nights and LOVED IT! (Never tried the grill). After a few nights in a tradition hotel room, our teens were thrilled to get their own room & own bed! They even had big noisy fans in each room...just like we like it for white noise. :) Easy walk to laundry & restaurants. We would stay here again & recommend to others. Great find! My only suggestion would be the need for black out curtains for those of us who love to sleep in late while on vacation! read more

We had reservations to stay at this motel in late December. We had made our reservations three weeks in advance. When we arrived in the evening, the motel was closed. There were signs hung up that said they were closed for the season. It was freezing out, when we looked in the windows, the place was in disarray and filthy. We called the number on the door and no one answered. We ended up staying somewhere else and the cowboy lodge still charged us and refused to reimburse us. They said they were there, we just didn't call the right number. Totally unethical not to mention a total dive! read more

Stayed in the Stagecoach stop room for a week. It was perfect! We will be back.

I would leave a zero if I could... 1. The waitress was not pleasant. And downright rude to others. 2. The kids' Mac n cheese was a tiny bowl of the boxed variety. You know, the buck a box Kraft or the store brand, 3 for a buck? Yup. That was their Mac n cheese, and it was a tiny bowl, so less than half a box worth. There were re NO side dishes. No fruit, no veggies, no anything. For EIGHT BUCKS!!!! What the hell! We asked for sides, but they were closing up and NOT accommodating. The kids polished off what we didn't eat. 3. My meal. I ordered the chicken fried steak. So stoked. The corn was AWESOME!! The potatoes were very cold, and the gravy was very skimpy. And best of all, the steak was raw in the middle. Pink as all get out. Let them know. Came out hot with new steak, but the potatoes were cold, more gravy, but cold spuds are just gross. And the steak?? STILL PINK, very pink, in middle!! 4. The cod sandwiches...the inlaws ordered these and they were very OVER cooked.... We had a long, full, exciting day in Yellowstone, and this was the disappointment we ended up with....! read more

We ate here after a long day at Yellowstone. The food was delicious and the service was exceptional! Great home cooked food. Make sure you save room for the cobbler! read more

We were looking for last-minute lodging in Gardiner, and Gina was super helpful and gracious to throw together our 2-bedroom lodge in a very short amount of time. There were 3 adults and a baby in our group, and the lodge was the perfect spot. Would comfortably sleep 6 people, great location within Gardiner, and easy access to the north entrance of Yellowstone. Highly recommend for a family! read more

Horrible food and services! The waitress did not know the restaurant manual. She made wrong order for us and tried to find excuse for herself. The food quality is horrible too. The food cooked even worse than regular fast food restaurant. But the price is much high. They pay attention to collect money instead of service to customers. Please try other restaurants around and keep away from this place! read more
