Delicious & messy food, craft beer, cocktails. Live music. Patio & indoor seating…read more All 14 of us gathered here on a weekday evening! One of few venues that would take reservations of this size group. They have a good amount of indoor seating. We sat on the umbrellaed patio, near the musician, just around the corner of the bar from games like cornhole. They were busy, but service was attentive. Many of us had craft beers and cocktails. Everyone was pleased, but i could not list all the beverages for you. We had at least one yummy fresh arugula salad with sirloin cooked-to-order and a lot of flavorful bacon, blue cheese crumbles, green onion, tomatoes, balsamic glaze, and thick "Texas" toast. We shared a number of the many appetizers: Crispy-coated sweet-chili Thai Shrimp were rather small but quite tasty. The tray of nachos was a glorious mess of beans, sauces and crema, mixed melty cheeses, olives, and meat ... i think we got the rich ground "buffalo". The "buffalo balls" were even messier: meatballs in deep gravy over mashed potatoes smothered in sautéed onions and mushrooms. We had "chicken "bites" with two of their yummy flavorings. The soft pretzels and cheese were long thick almost-loaves. And i completely lost track of the mains: several of their loaded burgers and overloaded tacos. The star was the 12oz medium-rare ribeye, topped with herb butter & demi glacé, loaded garlic redskin mashed potatoes, & thick garlic toast. This was a great immersion in great food, drink, ant atmosphere. The $44 ribeye was one of the top-two steaks we had during our trip. (July 2026). Pro tip: every steak is town was good, even the bargains you can find with a little hunting. But be sure to pay a little more once or twice to get the best.

We spotted this restaurant online while driving in to town to our hotel we had for the next couple…read moreof days. The photos looked amazing, so after we checked in, we drove a few blocks to the place. Parking is limited but we luckily scored a spot. Atmosphere is very cool, bar/restaurant like with sports playing on large TVs throughout. It was kind of warm in there...not sure if they had a working A/C or if it just couldn't keep up with the bodies inside. There was a wait to be seated but not too bad. Maybe 15 mins and the place was packed. We were seated at a bar-like table between the actual bar seating and tables. The waitress was nice and had personality but was a bit stressed out and a little testy after we asked about our food 30+ mins after ordering it. Even the drinks took a long time to be served. I finally gave up and ran to the restroom...of course the food came as soon as I left. It works that way a lot for me. lol The drinks were good - the food was pretty good. Prices are expensive here, but pretty much on par with the rest of the restaurants in town. It's a tourist town in high season and they all know it. We determined not to come back for the next day's meals based on the slow speed of service and try different places in town instead.

My Buffalo Chicken sandwich had been ordered 'fried'; but it was soggy - not one bite of crunch. Overall tho, fries (sweet potato and original) and the onion rings had been tasty. Brian, our bartender / server, was very nice and attentive. The only negative thing that was a disappointment (other than soggy chicken) had been the beverage prices - the menu had lower prices than what had been billed. This is a Delaware North property, and they can easily update their menus to reflect current prices. Regardless, will go back

When planning our trip to YNP, Old Town Cafe wasn't on the shortlist. We noticed it as we walked…read morethrough the neighborhood and the menu featured a bit of everything for everyone in the family. After a particularly warm day of hiking, my husband and I resolved to try OTC -- especially since signs read that it was established in 2023. Keeping restaurants open is very hard work. I was interested in trying a buffalo burger while my husband looked forward to more trout. Since this is a family-friendly restaurant, perhaps the entry should be rethought. The door directly opens to the bar, which has high tables where families can be seated. (Here, we chose seats so we could watch the World Cup match.) There's another room with more conventional, lower tables. I asked for sliced jalapenos to be added the buffalo burger with cheddar, lettuce, sliced tomato, diced raw red onion on a toasted bun. Diners can specify to what extent the buffalo is cooked: medium or med rare are recommended. Substitute side fries for a side salad (romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, shredded cheese & crutons) for a nominal fee. * Ask your server to hold the cheese on the salad if you don't prefer it. Very friendly bartender and wait staff. We appreciated the periodic check-in throughout our meal.

They checked in with us daily to see if we needed anything, which was a thoughtful touch and greatly appreciated. One of my favorite amenities was the tea and coffee station in the lobby--perfect for starting the morning. There was also a freezer stocked with ice cream sandwiches and popsicles, which was a fun and unexpected treat. The room was comfortable and exactly what we needed. We spent most of our time exploring the area and were mainly there to sleep, but it was a great place to come back to each night. The location is excellent, just minutes from Yellowstone's west entrance, making it very convenient for visiting the park. If you're planning to run the Yellowstone Half Marathon hosted by Vacation Races, this hotel is an especially great choice since it's within walking distance of the start line. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Yellowstone.

The smoked tri-tip sandwich caught my eye and it tasted as good as it looks. The sandwiches come with cole slaw and fries. The loaded potato is also a great option if you're not craving for BBQ. Prices are great and portions are good. I'm for sure recommending this spot to my friends if they're going to be in Big Sky!

I would recommend checking on that tap water situation though, tasted like drinking out of a hose.

I got the chorizo chimichanga and she got the grilled cheese and bacon sandwich. The chimi had potential but it was too skimp on the fillings. All tortilla, not enough meat. The grilled cheese was bomb. It was a triple decker with bacon and tomato. Very tasty. Others from our group said the Carabiner was the best restaurant given the consistently poor service at a few of the other spots in the resort. Unfortunately, I only went the once. 3.75 stars!

Good beers. Good food. Very good pool tables. Other games brought lots of kids…read more We heard about the pool tables at Yellowstone Beer Company, and of course the craft beers on tap. We got here about 8pm, and there were plenty of tables available on both levels. On the first floor, we ordered and paid for our brews at the bar along the right wall, and carried them to our table. We then ordered food on the first floor, at the counter at the back on the left. They gave us a number to display on our table, and later they brought our food to us. We sat upstairs near the games, with a balcony overlooking the bar. We liked the Kettlehouse Snowblind "white stout", which had a rich creamy coffee chocolate-stout flavor and a dark amber, not chocolatey, color. The Bridger Raspberry Kalamansi "kettle sour" was tart and not too sweet, not too much raspberry. Katabatic made a crisp fresh American IPA. Pool tables and games were available most of the time, with everyone giving other tables a turn. The pool tables were in great condition: flat, level, unworn. Among the best we found in town. The tables were mostly adults. The kids played with some toys. Everyone played some cornhole. Some of us shopped the merch area on the first floor near the door. The fried okra app was tender and lightly breaded, and we got the regular ranch dipping sauce instead of the chipotle version. The Spicy Elk Chili was made with red beans and mixed vegetables. The sides of cheddar, white onions, and sour cream were kind of small, but we didn't request more. The cornbread was nicely crumbly, not cake-y, with good not-too-sweet corn flavor. The Seared Ahi Tuna Salad was loaded with a huge tender sweet sesame-crusted tuna steak over a generous heap of fresh mixed greens, red onions, and half grape-tomatoes, zinged-up with a sprinkling of wasabi peas, brightened with slightly-sweet huckleberry mojo dressing. The Fried Catfish Po-Boy had a good-size thick slab of tender sweet fish in a thin crunchy crust, tomatoes, and a little house-made remoulade, on a fresh soft hoagie bun, with a side of lightly-creamy slaw. Food was hot, generous, flavorful, and moderately priced. Beer was quick and cold. We had a very good time, with some minor complaints that lost them one star. Food came up a little at a time. Somehow it got separated into two orders. We shared everything, but the pickier hungry kids had to wait a little. And it was noticeable that there were a lot of kids upstairs by the games. I got hit and slightly startled by a soft cornhole bag! If we were here without our kids, we might sit on the first floor. Or better, bring enough friends to take over the seats near the pool tables.
