Must try: Bison Bone Marrow and Elk Ravioli! Why: Never had Bison Bone Marrow or Elk Ravioli so had to try and both were delicious! Bone marrow was rich, buttery, and savory. Ravioli in creamy tomato vodka sauce was packed with flavor. Loved both dishes! We also got French Onion Soup, Ahi Tuna, and Elk Burger, which were all good but the bone marrow and ravioli were special. We did family style to be able to taste various dishes. We also came hungry for dinner since we didn't have any lunch. This meal hit the spot especially after a long day driving through Yellowstone National Park, and for our first evening in West Yellowstone. Notes: We arrived around 6:30pm and waited about 10 mins for our table. We were able to look through the menu and decide on what to share. It was packed in seating area and bar area. Loved the many large TVs playing sports so we got to enjoy a meal with some entertainment. Fun decor outside and inside. Waitress was welcoming, friendly, attentive, and helpful. Overall, great dining experience. read more

Stopped in at Hanks because the pervious night I saw people waiting outside. Yes I became very interested in that my friends. So today I stopped off for lunch to beat this crowd. I got the half pound burger with onion rings. The rings are thick batter dipped and delicious. Not those pitiful things a lot of places pass off. The burger was juicy and beautifully done medium just as I asked. The veggies for the burger were fresh and crisp. The bun is tasty. The place is clean and the staff friendly and the food is good. I couldn't finish it all, thank god for take away containers. read more

Hanks Chop Shop - Delicious Beef Burger with Onion Rings. - Casinos Near Me - West Yellowstone, Montana

We're back in West Yellowstone, Montana ala West. The town is bursting with tourists which is wonderful to see; millions of people visiting an American treasure Yellowstone National Park (aka YNP). Here good food is easy to find; good service not so much! At Hank's you will get great food and stellar service; rivaling big city high end restaurants only at a fraction of the cost and with a casual sports bar vibe. In my humble opinion, there's nowhere else in Montana or Wyoming that compares to Hanks. read more

We stopped in here on our first night in West Yellowstone because there wasn't a wait and the menu seemed to have a little bit of everything. If you're interested in watching a sporting event, they had a ton of screens to view. We started our meal with the spinach dip. Our server, Abby, suggested we order some extra crostini to go with it. At first it seemed like she was just trying to upsell us, but it was totally the right call. The dip was excellent and the crostini was not the usual hard bread that a lot of places have. For my entree, I got the chicken burger, which was basically just a grilled chicken breast on a bun. The taste was fine, but the grilled onions saved it. Others at the table got the Caesar salad and a pizza. They all said they were OK, but nothing extraordinary. read more

We were told about this place from our fishing guide. She told us the steaks were expensive, but the burgers were good and reasonable. We drove there and the wait was roughly 45 minutes. It was closer to 25 and we were seated. I ordered the cheeseburger, with fries. The wait was a bit long, but the burger was great. The fries were fresh. If I am ever back, I would stop here again. read more

We ordered an online pick up order here before stopping at our hotel in the area for the night. The food was pretty good however our order got screwed up a bit and we didn't notice until we got to our hotel room. They forgot the loaded portion of the mash and they switched the meat temp requested between our two steaks. The food still tasted good but we're disappointed with the lack of attention to detail. We also waited 15 min past our pick up time. The place is a western/rustic vibe. read more

During an evening bar crawl, (Jul 2026), we found our way to Hanks Chop Shop towards the north end of Canyon St. The bar was dark. It was busy enough to make us think this could be nice. Beers were cold. Service was fine. They had a red-felt pool table in good condition. And the table was free, if you retrieved the balls it manually :-). We liked this place, and stayed through several games and several beers. read more

While in Yellowstone during our last trip we visited Hanks for dinner 3 nights in a row. They had a variety of dishes that we wanted to try and each night we were in for a treat! The food was absolutely delicious, service was fast and friendly and the vibe was busy and energetic. We got in right away all three nights. Great place to meet up with friends or have a large party gathering. read more

We ate dinner here during our visit to Yellowstone. I had the beef ribeye steak with a baked potato. The steak was cook medium rare and was delicious. Each bite of the steak was juicy due to the fat content. It was delicious. The baked potato was larger than I expected. Served with sour cream, it was quite filling. We came during peak dinner time and had to wait around 10 minutes to be seated. Not bad, as I expected a longer wait. The place as packed. The staff was friendly and attentive, especially during this busy time. read more

You must get the bison ribeye steak! It's a bit pricey but it is so delicious. Not as fatty as a beef ribeye and not gamey at all. It also doesn't have that smell that corn fed beef has. The meat was cooked medium rare and it was firm , yet tender . Served with a sole Mashed potatoes, it really hit the spot. There was a line to get a table But it was worth it. Service here was very good and I really enjoyed it. read more

We've ate here two days in a row. First for dinner and then for lunch. We ordered a Caesar Salad and French Onion soup and the we had filet for dinner. The Caesar was ok the French Onion soup was super salty and I suspect had MSG because my face lit up. Would not recommend. The filet was fantastic! For lunch, I had a chicken Caesar and my husband had a burger. Both good but the salad dressing was not consistent with true Caesar dressing. Service at dinner was much better than at lunch, even though the dinner crowd was busy lunch crowd not so much. We will probably come back but it definitely didn't earn five stars. read more

Hanks Chop Shop is that typical American restaurant that serves all the American food you can think of surrounding by entertainments to draw customer retention. Providing that upscale casual vibe with a lot of TVs for sport, drink bar, a pool table, mini casino, and an alcoholic store that's hidden in the far back. There are lots of parking for the restaurant which is great. Hence the large space of serving interiorly. The food came out great with USDA qualified prime meet of Bison and Elk. Will say the front kitchen staffs presented was quite slow but maintained fair enough with the host to get seated and managing waitlisted customers. The food also took some time to come out. So when visiting, do expect an actual wait time during peak season! read more

Rustically decorated sports bar with a mini casino (video gaming) and liquor store. Tons of TVs, pool table, full bar. All tables are tall, except for four booths. Service was great, Julie did a great job, being she was the only person working. The squeeze and I shared the elk burger, got it medium with onion rings. No charge for an extra plate. Burger had lettuce, tomato and onion on it. It tasted great. The only bad thing was the bottom of the bun was soggy. That's why I put my lettuce under the burger. Onion rings were very good and plentiful. I had the Amber ale to top it off. read more

**Note: paying cash gives a little discount** This was an interesting restaurant with a casino and liquor store right in the back. There is a rustic car out front with an area outside but the windows can be closed to be indoors. The inside is large with a pool table in the entrance area. The staff was nice enough to close the large windows when it got called. For appetizers, we got the Bison Bone Marrow. It was good but needed a little salt, if u like bone marrow though it doesn't taste much different from any other ones. For dinner, we got the Black and Blue, which is a steak salad. It came with vinaigrette, but as a salad, it still wasn't that filling, so if you're looking for something light with some protein, this would be good. We also got 2 of the pastas, including the Mussel Pasta which was packed to the brim with mussel, unsure if it was cause it was the end of the night, but there was a lot. Kept opening mussels and somehow there would still be more. We also added mushrooms to this, which is a good idea for a little veggie. The pasta sauce itself is on the thinner side, with a liquid consistency by the end. The other pasta was the Elk Ravioli, and the pieces of this were huge. It was very saucy but still filling. If you got some fries, I would try them in the sauce. We, of course, had to try some Yellowstone specialities. The Bison and Elk burgers. Honestly, because we got one with cheese and one without it tasted kind of similar. I would opt for no cheese if you really want to get the meat flavor. And we also got the Bison Ribeye, we got medium. It was nice and thick, but it only came with 2 asparagus. Was expecting a little more of that rather than the mashed potatoes, which were more on the chunky side. read more

Drove into town and stopped for an early dinner before checking into the hotel. The person at the front handed us menus and told us to seat ourselves. We sat on the front patio area. Tables were dirty so we cleaned one off ourselves. It took about 10-15 minutes for anyone to acknowledge us. We finally ordered and the food also took a long time to be delivered. My son had the elk burger with pepper jack cheese and sautéed onions. I had the bison burger with pepper jack cheese and straw onions and opted for the onion rings instead of French fries. My son loved his and devoured it. Mine was a bit dry. I did love the bun and toppings, especially the pickles. The onion rings were large and good. I had the Montana Lemonade and it was very good! Loved the old trucks and yeti outside. read more

We spent a couple days in West Yellowstone on two separate occasions but found ourselves and Hanks on both days. Food was solid portions were great. If you like bone marrow I highly recommend it. It should be served with something that is more like bread and less like crackers and it was a little over salted but still great. The wings were solid the pizza was solid and on Friday night it was busy but the bartender was still so pleasurable and attentive I forget her name but she was super nice and normally when the bars get busy the bartenders have a tendency to get quick and short. Also chicken sandwich is a pass! Dry and overcooked, pounded out to death. Great idea poor execution. Casino games a plus as they paid for lunch! Patio is nice to eat outside as well. read more

Staff was great and atmosphere is nice, but the steak I had left me with only two possible conclusions, they're misleading customers about the steak being prime or their supplier is misleading them. I can say with absolute certainty that the NY strip I was served was not only not prime but it wasn't particularly well seasoned or cooked to temperature. Three stars because I think it's still worthwhile to eat here if you get any of their other dishes but for a place called Chop Shop I was pretty disappointed in the steak. read more

Hanks Chop Shop - Inedible fat from the strip steak. Almost Ribeye levels of fat but certainly not prime. - Casinos Near Me - West Yellowstone, Montana

Actually really enjoyed it here. Good atmosphere and we were sat in front of a projector playing tennis on TV so I was happy. The chicken Wellington was really really good, and I've never seen it on a menu before so I had to try it. read more

Worth a stop, but know going in that it's more bar than steakhouse. The name sets a different expectation than the room delivers. The wings with hot honey buffalo were the standout -- really good. But at a place calling itself a chop house, the filet is what matters, and my wife's came out dry. Worth noting the loaded baked potato is an upcharge, not included. My fettuccine Alfredo was good. Service was slow, though a tour bus had come in ahead of us, so that may not be typical. Fine for wings and a drink. I'd think twice about the steak. read more

We had a great dinner here! Hubby had a ribeye with potatoes and asparagus. I had the bison burger with fries. Both meals were delicious! We both ordered the huckleberry margarita, and neither of us loved it. We would definitely return. Our waiter (the manager) was very friendly! read more

Hanks chop shop does exactly what it's meant to do with a perfectly crafted burger and crispy parmesan fries that you won't forget. The ambience is very soothing w/ country music in the background perfect place for pre or post Yellowstone. Service was great as well read more

Hanks Chop Shop - Casinos Near Me - West Yellowstone, Montana

To end our good times visiting Yellowstone National Park, we wanted to eat a meal that we likely wouldn't have been able to get anywhere else. Insert Hanks Chop Shop, an American restaurant off of the main road in the town of West Yellowstone that sells bison, elk, and beef burgers. As a group of 7, we had to wait about 15-20 minutes before we were given a table, which wasn't too bad. After being shown our table, we perused through the menu and ordered what we wanted. I decided on a buffalo burger and P2 went with the elk burger. We got both with a side of fries. This place was very busy when we came, but the waiter did his best to take care of us. It took about 20-25 minutes for our food to come out, and the food was noticeably still hot and fresh. Bison is known to be very lean and dry, which is exactly what I wanted and tasted. The elk burger had the familiar "gamey" taste to it, but offered a different experience to P2, which was their first time trying it. The fries were cooked perfectly as well, with the crispy texture and light-brown color as marks of an excellent fry cook. For what we paid, we thought we received outsized value. The prices here are a little bit cheaper than elsewhere in town, but the quality was still phenomenal. We enjoyed our time at Hanks Chop Shop and would recommend everyone to try them out! read more

Everyone brags about it we literally tried it 3 different times. It's not a fine dine steakhouse, it's a bar that has a variety of food. The elk ravioli tasted pretty made different than made in house. The French dip was just standard deli meat with cheese to cover up the bland flavor. They say the open for dinner at 4 we would have to wait for them to get ready for dinner service usually about 20 minutes and no they don't have a bartender there early setting up. You have to wait for them to be ready for you. I positive go early you'll get a metal high top table and chair BUT THE STEAK was good and they pour heavy if you like unbalanced cocktails. (Which I don't) The restaurant gets very loud very quickly. If this is the best West Yellowstone can do. Diner beware. Sorry I disagreed with almost everyone else. read more

If you're looking for high-quality meat or fresh fish, this is the spot. Everything is market price, so steaks are on the pricier side. The burgers were excellent, the drinks were great, and the Montana atmosphere made it a fun experience. Service was top-notch too, highly recommend if you're stopping in town! read more

Left the park after an early morning trip and stopped in around noon. The place is very rustic vibe but tvs and sports bar vibe on one side and restaurant on the other. It wasn't very busy when we arrived and the staff was great. I had the French dip and white truffle parm fries. I am not a big French fry lover but these were amazing. Crispy with the hint of the truffle oil and aioli and green onions set them off perfectly. The French dip steak was super flavorful with perfect mix of crunch chewy roll. The only thing that wasn't perfect was the auju and it was quite as flavorful as it could have been but honestly the rest of the sandwich was so good it wasn't needed. My husband got the Italian sub and regular fries, he said his were great too. read more

Good food, good service. Surprised that they charge 3.5% for credit cards AND 4% just because. SO YOU ARE PAYING 7.5% MORE than listed prices before tip. read more

Hank's Chop Shop is a must-stop in West Yellowstone! The food is fantastic, the atmosphere is fun, and everything we had was delicious. A special shoutout to Lexi, the blonde owner, who is absolutely wonderful! She's so friendly and clearly puts her heart into this place. You can tell she genuinely cares about her customers and making sure everyone has a great experience. Great food, great people, and a great vibe. If you're in West Yellowstone and don't stop at Hank's, I'm not sure we can be friends. Highly recommend! read more

This was a really nice bar and grill. Most of the restaurants have a bar, casino and liquor store here in West Yellowstone. We got seated right away and our waiter brought our food out fast. My steak was cooked to perfection and melted in your mouth. The same went for my fiancées filet. Her mashed potatoes are good. I knew my baked potato was from Idaho because it was the best one I had ever had. The service was great. They have a lot of beers on tap and plenty of TVs all over. Their outdoor patio was top notch. Lots of little nostalgic pieces outside the restaurant. I'm quite happy with this place and I know you will be too. read more

The wait wasn't too bad to get seated (20ish mins) considering it's the busy season here. But after that, forget it. We sat forever just waiting to get greeted at our table and get some water. I ordered a medium rare burger. I love my meat rare, so I was of course expecting pink. When I say this burger was basically just raw ground meat, I mean it. Literally not even warmed all the way through. So absolutely disgusting. Probably would have sent it back to get something else, but our waitress didn't check on us once so I couldn't if I wanted to. By the time she did, I was so disgusted and annoyed I just wanted that burger taken off my bill and to get out. read more

Food was incredible! Although service was a little rough we ended up getting our appetizer when our food came. The potatoes came out a little cold but The food was all cooked correctly and the overall experience was good. We also got the skillet cookie and it was very good aside from it being pre- cooked other than that a great dessert to end the night! read more

Their elk burger was amazing! Their bison burger was good but I definitely preferred the elk. Fries and beer are good too, I appreciated the service and how quick the food came out. One star knocked off because I wish the onion rings were better. They were soft and not the best. I love my onion rings but despite that, I still enjoyed the meal and the vibes read more

Hanks Chop Shop - Cassie was so sweet! - Casinos Near Me - West Yellowstone, Montana

Our visit this evening was disappointing overall. We chose Hank's based on a recommendation of the onion rings. They were ok, but not hot when served. They arrived with a Caesar salad we were sharing. We were never offered appetizer plates. We also shared a bison filet. It was tender and well cooked, but again the steak and baked potato were only warm. We would have asked for a second plate, but couldn't find our server. To be fair, our server seemed overextended, and didn't check back until we were finished. All in all, a mediocre experience for $120. read more

Bad service. Asked the host to seat a group of one, and he offered the bar. When I told him I would prefer a table, he had me wait. After about 15 minutes, multiple groups had come in and been seated immediately. I have no idea why they did not seat me before at least two groups of two that had come in. They just sat and joked with each other, while I waited on their uncomfortable high chair. Eventually, I just walked out. Wish I could review the food, but they clearly didn't want me there. read more

This is a great place to eat. We had the elk burger and trout, both out of this world. Service was excellent with Abby(?) doing a great job.
