    Taco salad w beef
    David H.

    After roadtripping for a couple days... I was craving something somewhat healthy lol Now obviously options are gunna be hella limited in smaller towns + certain locations.. but after a quick lil google search, we came across this lil spot (get it) They share a space w a gas station but don't let that fool ya--this was prob the best thing I ate near Yellowstone hahah which is insane bc when I went up to order, the worker didn't even know what "asada" was LOL. They literally looked at me like I was crazy and said "sorry sir we only have beef, chicken, or pork" Their salad was super clean and included arugula, greens, onions, avo, cheese, tortilla strips, sauce, your choice of protein, etc. I'm not even playing yall, this was the change of pace I needed during this trip hahaha. It fueled me for the next day of hiking, exploring, and driving. I can't speak on any of their other items but... go chance em fam

    Absolutely a must-do... the best food we've had since arriving on 7/31. We leave 8/7 and visited some great spots across Montana and Wyoming. Everything was fresh and delicious. I enjoyed elote and goat cheese pizza. Don't miss the hole-in-the-wall, gas station favorite!

    Little place next to the gas station, doesn't look like much, but there are limited options in Gardiner during the winter, so we decided to try it. I got nachos with chicken, the portion size was great, and loved the queso. The meats change daily, but the birria was the best I tried, not too spicy but flavorful and not dry. Service was good, I think during summer season it could get really busy.

    Incredible food, best in town by far! Run by the sweetest couple, big servings, and great prices!!!

    Birria tacos, birria nachos

    This place has exceptional tacos. I would put them against Houston tacos. Service was warm and welcoming. Highly recommend trying.

    This place is epic! What a view of the very north edge of the park. The restaurant is literally…read morejust a few blocks from the North Entrance to Yellowstone in Gardiner, Montana. Food was fresh and fantastic! Was ALWAYS crowded at breakfast time! Highly recommended!

    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.

    Delicious & messy food, craft beer, cocktails. Live music. Patio & indoor seating…read more All 14 of us gathered here on a weekday evening! One of few venues that would take reservations of this size group. They have a good amount of indoor seating. We sat on the umbrellaed patio, near the musician, just around the corner of the bar from games like cornhole. They were busy, but service was attentive. Many of us had craft beers and cocktails. Everyone was pleased, but i could not list all the beverages for you. We had at least one yummy fresh arugula salad with sirloin cooked-to-order and a lot of flavorful bacon, blue cheese crumbles, green onion, tomatoes, balsamic glaze, and thick "Texas" toast. We shared a number of the many appetizers: Crispy-coated sweet-chili Thai Shrimp were rather small but quite tasty. The tray of nachos was a glorious mess of beans, sauces and crema, mixed melty cheeses, olives, and meat ... i think we got the rich ground "buffalo". The "buffalo balls" were even messier: meatballs in deep gravy over mashed potatoes smothered in sautéed onions and mushrooms. We had "chicken "bites" with two of their yummy flavorings. The soft pretzels and cheese were long thick almost-loaves. And i completely lost track of the mains: several of their loaded burgers and overloaded tacos. The star was the 12oz medium-rare ribeye, topped with herb butter & demi glacé, loaded garlic redskin mashed potatoes, & thick garlic toast. This was a great immersion in great food, drink, ant atmosphere. The $44 ribeye was one of the top-two steaks we had during our trip. (July 2026). Pro tip: every steak is town was good, even the bargains you can find with a little hunting. But be sure to pay a little more once or twice to get the best.

    We spotted this restaurant online while driving in to town to our hotel we had for the next couple…read moreof days. The photos looked amazing, so after we checked in, we drove a few blocks to the place. Parking is limited but we luckily scored a spot. Atmosphere is very cool, bar/restaurant like with sports playing on large TVs throughout. It was kind of warm in there...not sure if they had a working A/C or if it just couldn't keep up with the bodies inside. There was a wait to be seated but not too bad. Maybe 15 mins and the place was packed. We were seated at a bar-like table between the actual bar seating and tables. The waitress was nice and had personality but was a bit stressed out and a little testy after we asked about our food 30+ mins after ordering it. Even the drinks took a long time to be served. I finally gave up and ran to the restroom...of course the food came as soon as I left. It works that way a lot for me. lol The drinks were good - the food was pretty good. Prices are expensive here, but pretty much on par with the rest of the restaurants in town. It's a tourist town in high season and they all know it. We determined not to come back for the next day's meals based on the slow speed of service and try different places in town instead.
