There are not that many options to eat at Gardiner, our bar was low but Outlaw's Pizza exceeded our expectation. As you walked in, you are warned there are NO pasta or salads served here. Fair enough! It also looks a bit run down but we were seated right away. The 5 of us shared an order of chicken wings, some fries and 3 large pizzas. Note that all appetizers are fried in peanut oil here. I haven't seen that in yearssss in LA, and boy were the fries and wings extra crispy and tasty. For the pizzas, we had the Outlaws (ground beef, bacon, tomatoes, green peppers), The Cowboy (Ground beef, tomatoes, mushrooms, olives) and the Frontier (Canadian Ham & Pineapple). Surprisingly the Frontier was the 1st one to go, the whole pizza was gone. The next favorite was The Frontier, love the crispiness of the crust. We definitely had ordered too much, however the leftovers were just as good the next morning for breakfast. With expensive restaurants all around the touristy town, Outlaw's Pizza pricing is very reasonable.

I wanted to like this pizza but I have to say the crust is horrible, no lift in it and lacked any flavor or depth beyond the cardboard flavor and texture. The sauce was processed. The saving grace is we ordered toppings - so we ate those. The mozzarella sticks were average and the corn poppers were, different and not my forte. Very few pizza options in this area and I suggest making this your last resort. Also for the price they no doubt cleared 10x the cost to make it.

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

The food is good - BUT - this place is kind of a hot mess…read more We came for breakfast on a Sunday. They were out of a lot of things. Also - if you drink coffee - the espresso machine was broken. 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.

Super casual counter service, with usual pub faves as well as some local flavors. We went with the: - hog wings - small but meaty, fried halfway to chicharrones with a Korean sweet sauce on the side, kinda salty even plain on its own - bison cheeseburger - solid burger, excellent and generous fries - brisket sandwich - generous portion of meat, kinda dry so I asked for more huckleberry bbq sauce on the side otherwise not very flavorful. Cole slaw was meh but I don't like Cole slaw (they wouldn't swap for anything else). Again excellent fries! Chased all this meaty salty heavy food with a local brew. Think $75 before tax/tip was pretty normal tourist prices - we were stuffed and didn't finish all the fries and buns.

I loved the bison burger, and was glad I ordered it cowboy style with bacon and grilled onions.

Very cute cowboy decor and nice classic country music playing. It was fun.

We are here twice and had wildly different experiences…read more Our first visit here was Thursday evening and the food, service and overall experience were excellent. Our second visit here was Monday evening and the food, service and overall experience was not very good. On Thursday we were given a children's menu, on Monday none was offered. We asked for the BBQ chicken sandwich for my 1 year old, but asked for just the chicken, no bun and the sauce to be on the side. Was served exactly as we asked. On Monday it was served just as it is on the menu, we had to send it back as my baby won't eat any sauce on chicken. Which is why we wanted it on the side so we can continue to try to introduce sauce to him but also get him to eat some plain chicken. On Thursday I had the pulled pork sandwich and fries. It was great. On Monday I had the quesadilla with barbicoa beef. The meat was excellent, but the bottom side of my quesadilla was soggy, not crispy at all and wet when it was served to me. On Thursday my husband had the Dizzy buffalo burger with the cheese curds, he liked it. On Monday he had the Westerner sandwich, he said it wasn't great. He ended up only having a couple of bites. I'm not sure what the difference was, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that hopefully they were just having an off night. Round out the two visits at 3 stars. I'd give them another shot if we visit again since one time was a really great experience.

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.

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.
