Found this DELICIOUS food on our last night in town. Have been wishing for another meal since leaving. MUST TRY!!! GLUTEN FREE Onion Rings were AMAZING!! I haven't ordered onion rings while eating out in over 20yrs due to GF. I can't put into words how delicious these were along with my grilled chicken sandwich on a yummy GF roll. My daughter tried a Bison Burger for her first time; she says Yum!!! If you find yourself near this food truck, consider yourself lucky!!!! Delightful, helpful owner who understands GF dining. read more

It's a food truck, so seating outside. We went on a very nice night, but it was cool out. Took about 15 mins to get our food. I had the bison burger and my wife had the fish and chips. Both were excellent. Another couple said the lobster grilled cheese is their favorite thing in town. I didn't try it, but it sounds good. If you want something quick but tasty, this is a good place to get it. read more

My daughter loved her fish & chips & the rest of us had perfect cheese burgers. Great tasting gluten free! The tables had plenty of shade thanks to all the umbrellas. read more

My son had the lobster grilled cheese and I had a lobster roll. Both were excellent! The owner chatted with us briefly, really nice guy working hard out there to make great food. Would definitely return to sample a few other things off the menu. read more

Was open for lunch at 1pm on Tuesday so posted hours are current! Upscale red food truck serves lobster rolls, but we opted for the cheeseburger sub o-rings for fries. Delicious, hot and freshly made food, so don't get in a rush. Nice clean picnic tables shaded by red and white umbrellas to enjoy your meal. Very nice man (owner?) takes your order, cooks and serves checked in twice to be sure we were happy with the food. I also took clam chowder and garlic bread for later, so will update this review if it isn't amazing. read more

Don't believe bad reviews! NOT TRUE! James, the owner, personally greeted us. He was very sweet and personable during our entire visit in his restaurant. We like James's professionalism, efficiency and food! It was very cool learning that he actually has a perfect palate which makes perfect tasting dishes for his customers! While in college, James told us he worked as a server and instinctively knew when a plate wasn't right and had no qualms in telling the cooks before dropping the plate into his customers tables. He was always right! Example: when customers ordered medium rare and james knew it wasn't, the executive chef would look at it and tell him he's correct while telling line cook that meat was made wrong! Lol. We love James attention to detail and unwavering principle of serving higher quality food for his customers. We taste fresh ingredients first hand on our tongues and in our happy stomachs. Hamburger- 6.5 oz of good quality beef which was hand pressed and cooked to perfection. This juicy burger was one of the best we've ever eaten! Very moist ! Came with lettuce, pickle, onion and tomato. Choice of cheddar, American, Swiss, pepper jack cheese. Fries served with it too! $12.50 (5 stars) Tuna Salad- Salad greens mixed with fresh veggies, Parmesan cheese and a hella delicious hone made tuna salad mixed with just a touch of mayonnaise. It was crazy awesome! $11.50 (5 stars) When in West Yellowstone, don't miss this local gem ! We're coming back! read more

These chefs know celiac disease, other allergies and even have vegan options! Not only do they know how to take care of us but their food is incredible!!! Gluten free lobster rolls! Unbelievable!!! read more

Excellent service and food! We stopped in this little cafe on our way to The Grand Tetons. It's slightly off the main stretch but we'll worth the additional 2-3 minutes. The service was top notch and friendly. The food was seasoned perfectly and delicious! I loved the Eggs Benedict. We left feeling like locals and will definitely be back. read more

SmokeJumper Cafe - Eggs Benedict - Gluten-Free Near Me - West Yellowstone, Montana

We visited SmokeJumper Cafe twice this past week. First time after a very long day in Yellowstone. Dinner was delicious. The chef owner is great with food allergies. Our celiac/gluten allergy family members had the best GF fish and chips they've ever had (even beat out the fish and chips we had in Astoria, OR a few years ago). The truffle tots were a favorite. It's a one man run food truck so expect a wait. Trust me when I say "His food is worth the wait". We loved it so much that we rearranged our travel schedule so we could stop for a second time on our way to Bozeman, MT. Lunch on the second visit was delicious! We left with very happy full bellies. read more

Great place to go while waiting for my flight to arrive. The owner is super friendly and nice. As others have said, it's a one man show. The owner runs back and forth between the kitchen and getting orders. He tells you ahead of time it may take a while. I ordered the lobster roll and it was great, different then I've ever had before but great.. The food came out a lot quicker than I expected and prices were very reasonable. read more

The sign said it opened at 5:00, but we waited until 6:24, and no one was there. So we drove around town, but we didn't find anywhere to eat. We decided to try again, and when we drove up at 5:50, the owner was walking up. We got two Amazing Burgers The owner was super friendly and made sure we were happy with our meal. While this meal got off with a rough start, I was so glad we ate here. We could have eaten at a downtown pub for twice the money, but was exactly what we wanted. I even had a burger that wasn't on the sign. Stop by and tell gun what you want.....maybe you will be lucky like we were. read more

Buyer beware. This business overcharges and then lies. We were charged more than $15 for a $12 order. The owner explained that the majority of the extra charge was sales tax (of which Montana has none). read more

yum yum yum! Get the fish and chips for sure. Tartar sauce was the highlight. Owner was the only one working on a weekday. Don't come here in a rush, the man is doing the best he can! also don't use apple maps. read more

Nice little place. Selection is not great but the portions are nice and the quality is good. Is this s number one place no is it good yes. It's an airport cafe. What can I say. read more

We ordered bison burgers and gluten free fish and chips. Everything was wonderful. Great food truck for gluten allergies.

Used to go here with my Dad who recently passed and finally made the effort to go back after 35 years. Just as I remembered. Same look and feel - same honestly good people. Don't let the hate reviews steer you. Haters gonna hate. Make the drive out of town and get a meal from real people that know how to accommodate. Our new favorite breakfast place-a bottomless cup of good coffee to boot! Thanks guys, keep it up read more

We stopped by for a quick bite before we entered the park. It's a small place, right inside the Jackson airport with good food and drinks (by the way the huckleberry milkshake is very good). Good service and place is spotless clean. read more

We stopped by on the way back to Bozeman from Grand Teton and enjoyed some amazing Philly Steak sandwiches. The gentleman is very friendly. His food truck is a bit hard to spot, but I highly recommend stopping by. It's important to support small businesses and self-employed folks. We sure hope the next time we are back, he will have his own restaurant. read more

Stopped in as we drove out of west Yellowstone on our way to Jackson Hole. The Owner/Chef James was a really cool guy. After talking to him, I felt like had known him forever. The food was fantastic and his side kick Kate was pleasant and very accommodating. My family had a great experience and i highly recommend the fish and chips. Delicious!! read more

In search for a great burger, this little gem is not on the beaten path in West Yellowstone. Hid away at the Yellowstone Airport, it doesn't look much from the outside, but what a great food experience. Not very busy when we got there, but a steady flow of willing to wait customers, as owner James was working alone (probably because of the Pandemic), a one man show. If you are patient, your tummy will be rewarded. James let us know up front so don't complain if the service isn't the best. You have been warned so don't write a bad review. The food makes up for it. Now to the burger. My test for a burger is always Mayo, lettuce, onions and cheese only. If the burger passes that juicy flavorful mouth watering taste, I know I'm having a great burger. Many uses the exact same ingredients, but it just doesn't taste the same. Jame's burger was right on, that juicy first bite right up to the last. An enjoyable roller coaster ride in your mouth. This little gem will always be on my food destination whenever in West Yellowstone. James' the "One Man Show" was very nice and awesome. read more

Don't let the fact that it's an airport restaurant fool you- this place is worth the drive just to eat here. James has a thoughtful menu, well-chosen for different clientele. The wings are as good as any I've had. Try the Madras Lentils. There is also a well-stocked hot sauce selection. Smoke jumper memorabilia seals the deal. read more

#update: Sir, I wrote my review last night not during lunch. As you can tell from the review it was about the service in its entirety. I pray that you find some anger management classes in that you are attacking your customers and their parenting abilities. I am a fantastic mother. My children are beautiful beings that excel in life. Excusing my 7 year old from the table to stand outside the door for two min in an empty tiny airport lounge until she stops yelling in the restaurant is called proper parenting. Using words such as abuse and swear words toward customers is completely wrong and in appropriate. No sir, you aren't right and you clearly aren't a kind person and don't kid yourself, the food is mediocre and there was only one other table in the restaurant. The private plane community is a small community and pilots talk. There are plenty of forums and you have been named. You have yourself a wonderful week and ai hope the best for you and your business. I would give this restaurant 0 stars if I could. We landed in West Yellowstone to gas up and grab lunch. This restaurant is connected to the airport so we thought it would be a good place to grab lunch quick and go. When we walked in there was ONE table of people outside. We sat down and ordered food. We had a child acting up so in the middle, I had to discipline my child and had her stand outside the door until she stopped the behavior and came back in. In the mean time we ordered our food at 11:50am. Two burgers, a cheese quesadilla, and a chicken salad. No alcoholic drinks. The waitress was pleasant at first and took our order. We waited for quite some time and we started to wonder where are food was....at 12:23 we received one burger and a cheese quesadilla. The waitress said the kids could start. Great no problem, thinking our our salad and burger would follow right behind as it had been 33 minutes at that point. Another almost 10 minutes passed and my husband finally asked the waitress where the rest of the food was. She said it was coming. When my husband asked if that was normal, the waitress rudely responded, it is around here. (We are from a rural mountain town, not from a city. We have been to West Yellowstone before, the service was outstanding so this statement was rude and false.) Had the waitress just calmly and politely apologized for the food taking so long, we would have been annoyed but not upset by the response and service. The food finally came out, the fries were cold. We quickly ate and despite the terrible service and and long wait for food, still tipped 10% (as a former server and bartender, this wasn't really deserved but we still tried to be accommodating). We went on our way only to be battered and called names by the owner who I'm guessing was also the cook. We don't know the owner, but he had the gall to attack my husband unwarranted when all we wanted was to have a simple lunch and be on our way. Common courtesy and customer service go a long way. People make mistakes but being attacked unprovoked is unacceptable and unprofessional. As business owners and pilots, we know about great customer service and this was lacking. I would recommend not spending money at this restaurant until the attitude and service improve. read more

Great personalized service, like your hometown cafe but upscale with great other options besides burgers, fries, etc. Quality ingredients and the owner takes a lot of pride and puts a lot of effort to make it a great place! I go every week! Lots of TRUE gluten free options which is hard to find. read more

Skip the tourist traps and fast food and go out and eat here! Everything we had was phenomenal and the owner was extremely attentive and kind. Even though he was slammed. Great food and great people. Can't miss! read more

From Early July - We came in middle of the day with a 6 adults and 2 small children. The owner/cook was buy himself, and was honest that he would do his best to accommodate us but food may come out at different times as he didn't want it to get cold. He had gluten free breading for some fried meals, this was Ideal as my wife has some food allergies. He did a great job with the food and everything actually came out around the same time. Food was good and we spoke with the cook/owner in some polite conversation. We came here as I used yelp to help point us tourist to a restaurant with good reviews. Surprised that it was at the airport, but this ended up being great as it was quiet and not in the tourist trap of the local town. read more

Fantastic food but the service from the owner James was above and beyond the best. It was a very stressful day and he became an awesome friend. Thank You read more

Great food.....healthy choices...amiable host/owner Amazing cafe found at a beautiful airport read more

We had masks when we walked in but took them off when we sat down, like the only other people that were there. We were in our private plane flying cross country with 2 friends and the owner was the rudest we ever encountered! Maybe it was all the death metal blaring in the kitchen that had him running after us yelling in a RAGE as we walked out. We did absolutely nothing to deserve such hostility except want to support a local business like we do on all of our flying journeys. Totally unacceptable! read more

Like all business is these conditions, SmokeJumper Cafe is understaffed. Don't come in you are in a rush. It is a small space and would be difficult to accommodate large parties. But! The food and service is phenomenal and I will be ordering catering to accommodate my larger family coming back in the future. read more

We had a noon flight and got in early to eat here before departing. They did not open as scheduled and we didn't get to eat before our flight. read more

Very rude staff. It was busy, but that's not an excuse to make patrons feel unwelcome and like a nuisance. I mean, read the other reviews (I didn't before going) and you will see that the guy responds to any complaint with hostility. Not the kind of person that deserves our money. Poor business practices. read more

Before leaving California, I Google searched gluten free options while visiting Yellowstone and came across this gem. Owner was very conscientious and knew I needed separation for celiac disease. We are not rookies eating at airports as a pilot family but this was truly our favorite! Will be back to Yellowstone and to the smokejumper cafe! read more

Highly, highly recommended!!! Delicious food for any eating style and also has gluten free, vegetarian or traditional cooking preferences. The best fish and bison and cow burgers I've ever had and we've traveled around the world. read more

This place offers great food options, and those we tried are delicious! I had the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich which comes with crispy fries! My friend had the Patty Melt, yummy all around! So impressed with the single gentleman taking orders, making delicious food and delivering it as well! read more

The person who owns this place needs a personality/mode check, rude is an understatement. I understand that it's a one man shop but that does not mean you can speak to potential customers who are going to spend money to eat YOUR food in such a negative way. I went in there and waited to be seated, after some minutes passed, I rang the bell as it suggests to do. The person I was with decided to sit down since obviously no one else was waiting but us. The gentleman came out and I politely asked if we could sit there? (I was still standing). In front of the entire room he says to me "ITS TOO LATE FOR THAT NOW RIGHT?" It's like he didn't want us there and decided to simply embarrass us. After that I sat in the lobby of the airport and saw a few folks walk in and sat down with no problem. This person is terrible, may even be a racist because my skin color is not "white". Don't eat here, eat before you come to the airport. If you must eat here, don't let the person talk down to you. read more

This place is awesome and worth the trip slightly out of the main town of West Yellowstone. We showed up just past 11 am looking for breakfast and they were willing to accommodate us for breakfast fare even though their menu changes at 11 am. The outdoor seating was great - limited shade but it was nice to have the option and the views of the surrounding area was great. The food was incredible - they made our little guy bear-shaped pancakes and an awesome fruit salad with whipped cream! Our corned beef hash and eggs, and 2 egg platter with bacon were amazing - they clearly take pride in their food! The prices were also very reasonable! read more

Always awesome seeing a gluten free restaurant, especially in a small town! My wife was loving life! Owners a great guy too!

We visited this spot many times during our honeymoon trip to Yellowstone in 2015. They had delicious gluten free options, the staff were very kind, and offered us many hiking recommendations we wouldn't have necessarily found with our guide books. It was more quiet than the spots in town, and was one of my favorite parts of the trip, so much so that I am leaving a review 7 years on. I hope they are still there when we return someday. read more
