I have nothing but great things to say about the Gardner market…read more I was hesitant to go there because everyone said it was so expensive but I found the experience delightful. I wish I had gone there earlier in my stay just for the ambience lol. There are many things to question about Gardner Montana ;)However, the Gardner market was not one of them. Everybody in there was so polite and friendly. I couldn't believe it. Every time I asked for something everybody was incredibly helpful and there were some really nice ladies that were just totally friendly. The store is stocked to the brim. It has everything, at my hotel they were saying oh you won't find sunscreen or cream there but you know what they had every possible sunscreen and cream available!!! I was able to go there toward my last day and get things that I really needed like water and some sleeping pills since I was in a hotel that was very noisy! I would highly recommend the Gardner market to anyone and just remember when you're on a vacation things are more expensive because people are trying to make money in a small town so don't hold that against them. I love that market and if I lived in Gardner, I would shop there no matter what.

Good market to stop in for essentials before heading into Yellowstone. Pricing are a little on the…read moreexpensive side, but the prices are definitely on par with the other markets in the area, so I'm not surprised by the prices. They have everything from your usual grocery items, hot food, frozen food, produce, toiletries, etc. Small parking lot could get full, but people seem to leave at a decent pass.

This place is already 5 stars for their hot sauce collection. There were so many to choose from and…read moretrust when I say we tried a majority of them. 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

Tumbleweed was an okay breakfast experience, but nothing that really stood out…read more It's another order-at-the-counter setup where you're asked to tip before you've actually received any food or service--a practice I'm just not a fan of. I had the standard breakfast, which was served in a to-go carton even though we were eating there. The meal was okay overall, but the potatoes were not good. Service was just okay as well. We sat outside on the patio, but it was a hot day, so the outdoor seating wasn't particularly comfortable. Overall, it did the job for breakfast, but with so many places to choose from, there are definitely better options in Gardiner.

Personally, I was very thrilled with the great air conditioning in the dining room which is adjacent to the counter. It was hot outside, and actually cold in the adjacent dining room. Thank you very much for that. And my kid said the employees were very nice to her.

The food was good--not great, but certainly enjoyable. You order at the counter, and the process…read morewas quick and easy. 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.

We thought we would give this place a try. After all it was a travel day and we normally don't cook…read moreon travel days. We had the beef burgers. Burgers are 1/2 pound and were cooked correctly. Hand cut fries were awesome. You order at the window and they bring you your food and drink. Young lady that was our server was very friendly and checked on us frequently. Outdoor seating but the weather was perfect and the tables have umbrellas. Overall worth the stop.

Burger spot right outside Yellowstone with a ton of awards! We were quickly drawn in from the…read moredisplay of all their awards. When we went they were under construction so the parking was a mess as was the seating situation, but I understand not closing down completely for a remodel. They're known for their elk and bison burgers but honestly I think their regular burger tasted better. The gamey taste is just not my favorite. The fries were pretty standard but the huckleberry milkshake was so good!! My husband brought up that milkshake again a few days later because he liked it so much.

We had about a 20-minute wait, which wasn't a big deal, so we decided to grab a drink at the bar…read more Unfortunately, despite several barbacks working, no one was available to actually serve drinks, so we ended up waiting longer than expected. Once we were seated, the atmosphere was great and our server was friendly and attentive. The food was good, although it arrived a little lukewarm. Overall, it was a good experience with a few hiccups. I'd come back, but I hope they improve the bar service and make sure the food is served hotter.

I believe it was around $15-17 per foot long sandwich and so worth it with it lasting us all day. The bread is soft and not too much, with a generous amount of fillings and meat inside. I asked for extra pepperocinis and really topped it off for me !! Small place but has a few seating options. Go support this local biz!

Super satisfying and efficient meal for post-Yellowstone hunger. I was with a big group and got to…read moretry a bit of everything. The food was ready in maybe 10 minutes max despite the large order size. There is not much paradox of choice going on here with just two protein options - turkey and pulled pork - and five or so sides including cheesy corn, collard greens, coleslaw, and baked beans. The turkey was great - moist, with some nice additions (apple maybe?). The pork was fine but a tiny bit dry. The cheesy corn was a tad oily but the rest of the sides were great, especially the collard greens. It's located in an outdoor area where there is an open-air bar and corn hole, so you can essentially be at the barbecue place and an outdoor bar at the same time. Overall, a few tiny tweaks could be made to the food but it was a very enjoyable experience and soul-comforting food.

Beans were seasoned well, ribs were tender and really didn't need any sauce. Slaw cc was creamy and tasty. Quick service, great food, reasonable prices, nice outdoor space. Street parking

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

Honestly this is one of the best places to eat in Gardiner, Montana after finding this place we kept eating here. Hours were 12:30-9 so by the time we got there after driving Yellowstone it was still open. They had picnic tables for you to sit at while you are or you could take it to go. The place was very nice. Definitely a must stop and go try it out.
