I have to start by talking about the Hog Trough Nachos. So good! Star of the show. We planned on nibbling on them, but we were nearly full by the time the two of us finished polishing them off. The wings were tasty too, but they didn't taste anything like Nashville hot chicken that I'm familiar with. We wonder if they gave us the wrong wings. The service at the bar was good considering that the whole restaurant was full. Lots of people were watching the FIFA matches which made it fun to root together. Good beer menu. The wine menu was small, as expected, but it worked. read more

Really one of the only food spots in West Yellowstone that you can find open on a midweek afternoon. Service was good, our server Danielle took good care of us. Food wasn't really good. I got the cowboy burger and the meat was overcooked. Everyone else at our table got wings and Just really mediocre food overall. I like they had TVs and more of a sports bar vibe read more

Popped in to enjoy the local culture (we live in West for the Summers). First time I tried their Bison Balls - they were excellent! The mushrooms gravy was perfectly seasoned. I found the bison balls over salted (I rarely use it); but my wife disagreed. Regardless, highly recommend. We have yet to get a bad meal or service whenever we stop in. read more

Loved this lively establishment in West Yellowstone. The service was quick and fabulous. The atmosphere is all things bison. The beer was cold and the food hot. Thoroughly enjoyed sharing the buffalo balls appetizer. It was a large dish with two large meatballs on top of mashed potatoes. They have some games including electronic darts. There is also outdoor dining. It was fun atmosphere with good eats. A nice place to unwind after a long day in YNP. read more

There is barely any restaurant in this small town that offers Bison meat entrees. As it is known to be different in the area compared to major cities selection of meat. The Buffalo Bar happens to be highly ranked as it will constantly be crowded during peak tourist season. Upon entering will be walked into a group of customers waiting for their table and name to be called. There are a good amount of table inside and have lots of tv for a good entertainment and enjoyment. Average wait time is typically 30 minutes plus during peak dining time. The servers are nice, provided the food and other necessities quickly. Attentive with water refills. The foods were presented well and they gave a good amount of food for the price. Worth eating here once. read more

Great food and atmosphere. Fun place. Gets very busy and can take a while to be seated, even at the bar, but worth it. The bison burgers and country fried steak were both very good. read more

This place was suggested by my brother, when he heard we were eating in west Yellowstone. Ordered the buffalo burger and wings, both were great. The wings had a very flavorful Huckleberry bbq sauce. Was great. My wife ordered the quesadillas, very filling, but good. read more

This place is a must! Our food was so good and very filling. I wasn't able to eat it all. My husband had the huckleberry margarita and I had the huckleberry lemonade. Both drinks were spectacular! We sat at a long bar table facing the actual bar. It was super cool! Our servers were also very nice! read more

Food was great, the service was fast and the ambiance was awesome!!! Defiant a great recommendation!

My entire party enjoyed their food. However, it took quite a while to receive our appetizers and entrees. All of the employees were clearly foreign, not from the area. Good food, not so good service. read more

The Buffalo Bar - Cocktail with cool glass - American Near Me - West Yellowstone, Montana

When we pulled into town, this place was popping. We thought it must be good. So we dropped our luggage and came back. The place was still busy so we sat at the bar where we were greeted by Tanner. He was attentive and helpful. I had the huckleberry lemonade, my husband a local beer, and our daughter vodka soda. Everything here is huckleberry and I embrace it wholeheartedly, especially the vodka. We shared the nachos, which seemed a little pricey especially considering the cheese isn't real; more like nachos cheese. However, they are a good size. The ambiance is what you'd expect, wild animals amidst tv's. Being so close to the "closed season" choices are limited. I hear there are bands when the patio is open. It would be a great place if there was live music year round. read more

The Buffalo Bar - Animal decor - American Near Me - West Yellowstone, Montana

Walked in fire lunch the sign said find a seat. We sat at a high top which a group just left from and the waitress was quick to clean it off. It was a Saturday and they had several TV's playing college football. My husband was so happy. Warm and inviting atmosphere including animal heads hanging along the walls. Of course a Buffalo front and center. Waitress was very nice and service was great. We both ordered the barbecue chicken salad. One of the best meals we had in Yellowstone area. We had trouble finishing the chicken it was a full size breast sliced on top and juicy. Served with Texas toast and ranch dressing. It also had a nice outdoor patio with bar and live music at night. If you in west Yellowstone make sure to stop in you won't be disappointed. read more

There's not a lot of food options near Yellowstone, so this tends to be one of the more popular spots. It definitely has a very specific Americana vibe, complete with a casino section and taxidermied animal everywhere - not really my vibe after a beautiful day of exploring Yellowstone, but I guess it comes with the territory. The food is mostly standard American fare, specializing in bison/buffalo. We got the bison meatloaf and the mountain fries, which were decent but nothing stood out other than the huge portions. The huckleberry lemonade was mediocre and has a strange aftertaste. Overall, good to get filled up here but I would temper expectations. The service was friendly and attentive though. read more

One of the best meals we had in West Yellowstone! And the huckleberry cocktails - yum! The hostess was bubbly and friendly as soon as we walked in. This fun attitude fit perfectly into the bar ambiance full of taxidermy animals and large screen tvs playing that nights football game - very lively. The server, unfortunately, was far less enthusiastic and off. (Maybe she was having a rough day). We started off with a huckleberry margarita and a huckleberry lemonade - both delicious! For meals, we ordered the buffalo balls and buffalo tacos. Although the buffalo balls are on the appetizers list, it is huge and very well served as a meal since it comes with mashed potatoes. Both meals were good! The meatballs were one of my favorite meals in West Yellowstone. Yum! read more

Nice place, although their seating design could use some work. We got the buffalo meatloaf and taco salad with buffalo crumble. The meatloaf was okay but nothing more. The salad was delicious BUT they either forgot to add the buffalo or there was one singular piece that I ate without noticing because I spent the entire dinner looking for it. I couldn't find the huckleberry lemonade on the menu but when I asked she said they do have it and it was delicious. The service was pretty meh and no one really checked in on us because if they did we would've asked for more water. They also tack a lot of fees onto the bill. read more

After an incredibly long day in the park, my husband and I stopped here around 430pm for an early dinner - we really had our pick of the place and were quickly waited on. First, the portions here are absolutely massive. We split the queso with buffalo chili, which was delicious. I had one of their burritos and it was truly massive...but it really was quite tasty. I wish I could have eaten more of it - but could only eat half since it was so large. My husband opted for one of their burgers - trading the patty for a buffalo patty; he finished every bite of it. Overall, it was an eclectic menu - but good good for a sports bar. read more

Right across from our campground so went to grab a drink and a snack after setting up on a Thursday afternoon. Great selection and yummy apps. Service was friendly and fast, even though busy. We have noted that supper time seems to have a bit of a line- not surprising! Recommend. read more

Open late, even on a holiday. Great food and super attentive servers. The West-Mex Burger was outstanding with the chipotle sauce stealing the show. My wife had the Chicken Tacos and was super happy with them. This is an excellent stop and not so much of a tourist trap. Loads of table seating that is set up for groups or just couples. It does get a bit loud when it's full up but it is really good. Pricing is a bit on the higher side, but expected in this area. read more

We stopped into what we thought was a little sport's bar in West Yellowstone. It turned out to be so so much more. The place turned out to be huge, with really good staff, above average menu, and a good selection of drinks. We were just looking for an appetizer to hold us over till dinner so we ordered the 'Hog Trough Nachos' to share. From the time we ordered to being served was amazingly quick, and we both thought this was one of the best nachos we've had. They serving was huge and we actually took some home. Talked to a few people there, and everything from hamburgers, burritos to tacos were enjoyed. I would totally enjoy going back. read more

Great beers but food is not good. They also charge a 4% credit card fee. No mention of the fee until you get the bill.

This is a great find. We walked in and sat right away. We had multiple servers and there were all great! Anytime one walked by they checked on us. We got the beer battered cheese curds to start and they were soooo good. The cheese was soft and fresh. My husband got a primate rib sandwich which he loved! He could stop talking about how tender the prime rib was. I got a bbq chicken salad which was enough for 2-3 people. It was so good but too much. I only wish I could've taken it with me. The place was decorated for Halloween season but also decked with buffalo intrue Yellowstone fashion. read more

Was a great stop arriving into West Yellowstone. Cute place with a buffalo vibe. My husband got the buffalo fried steak and I had the buffalo meatloaf. They were both really good. Fried steak was crispy and the meatloaf was flavorful with a good rich gravy. The huckleberry wheat beee was good too! Definitely worth the stop. read more

Such a cool place to get some food and a beer. Very busy but still had great service seated at the bar. Wings were good, buffalo gorditas were good as well. My wife's taco salad was ok. I would have liked to try one of the entrees but wasn't hungry enough for a big meal. Very noisy because it was packed at the rush, but still could talk to each other and not have to yell. read more

This was our favorite bar in town, we went here 3 nights out of our 5 day stay, even to end the night with drinks. We had Bison Chili Con Queso, Cinnamon/Sugar pretzels with cream cheese, BBQ Chicken Quesadilla, lots of yummy drinks - Huckleberry Lemonade is the best in town bc they use real berry puree. The vibe is casual and it's a local hangout place. read more

The ambience is very lively and fun. This is a good place for a drink, however the food itself is terrible. This was our worst meal of the trip. Not only was it expensive, but the taste and quality was so bad. The burger was extremely dry, I could barely swallow it. The ribeye was very chewy, a bad cut of meat. The mashed potatoes tasted like from a box. The best part of the meal were the french fries and the garlic toast. I would not recommend eating here. The photos look a lot better than how it tastes. read more

Nice bar in town close to the Yellowstone entrance! Seating was easy and not too crowded when we came.

Staff were friendly also and very attentive both nights. read more
