Very poor service. Waiters seemed bored and uninterested. The food was just OK. I can understand other customers may have had a different experience, but to us this place is highly overrated and overpriced. read more

The ambience of the restaurant was warm and creative. The staff was very helpful. The food arrived prompt, hot and delicious.

Dinner here was delicious. The other yelpers were not over exaggerating when they described the tastiness of the dishes. We had the elk tenderloin, salmon, beef pops, and carrot cake. All amazing. Service also excellent. read more

Having Christmas Eve with last minute appointments, the server was the best I have encountered in my life. Explained the food perfectly, polite, offering additional portion of 4 from their 3 counts lollipop ribs which was the best I have eaten. Tender, perfectly seasoned, ordered bison steak to be split when my daughter and me wasn't too hungry without making it awkward, the elk tenderloin was delicious, almost the texture of tuna but the seared part was perfect. Fresh and ful of flavor. And the trout was sooooooo delicious, perfectly crispy skin with tender buttery well seasoned fish. Not fishy at all. Ambiance is inviting. Located inside hotel, just to the right of the lobby. My daughter told me this place is a must the next time we visit Jackson. Very well executed. Recommend!! 10 stars read more

Excellent service! Soup of day was amazing!! Had the Two signature dishes - Hubby had the Elk tenderloin was definitely a 5/5 would order again every time - pricey but worth it. I got the trout which I would give a 4/5 very good too. read more

We stayed at the Wyoming Inn in Jackson and the Whistling Grizzly is the small, cozy restaurant in their lobby. Naturally, we thought we would eat there the evening of the day we flew into town but would venture out to try other restaurants the rest of the week. Were we wrong about our thinking. The food, atmosphere and service here are top notch, and did I mention the food? We ate all but two dinners here all week and every breakfast except one all week. Of the food we tried--the elk tenderloin, bison burger, cowboy pops, summer market salad, mushroom soup (w/blue cheese and other delectable ingredients), orange creme brulee and carrot cake, we absolutely loved every single dish. Some of these dishes we ordered multiple times during our stay. All of our breakfasts were very good as well. What is a non-negotiable requirement if you eat at Whistling Grizzly is eating the carrot cake. I have tried many carrot cakes in my lifetime, and I have an exceptional recipe for a carrot cake I make, but hands-down, this was our favorite carrot cake. We either ordered it for dinner or carried it up to our room to eat later almost every night. The cake is moist, not too sweet, and has the perfect blend of spiciness and sweetness. Um.it.is.heavenly. We wish we had a piece of it right now, in fact. read more

I'm in town on a layover and I like to try local joints for breakfast. I walked to the Virginian in 17 degree temps but they were closed for carpet replacement. Undeterred, I walked to the Wyoming Inn but my bad luck continued: they had just stopped serving breakfast! As I started to put my coat and gloves back on, Kimmie offered me a free cup of coffee to go to keep me warm! THAT is such an incredibly sweet gesture! Thank you Kimmie! I can't wait to come back to try the brekky here! read more

This is a restaurant inside a hotel. The lobby is elegantly cowboy with moose antlers for chandelier, leather furniture, stone fireplace, and beautiful pictures of the Tetons. We walked in without reservations, but they were able to sit us on the side facing the window.Prices were high, servings were small, but food was excellent so it's all worth it. Wyoming Cowboy Pops, braised beef short rib, very tender and flavorful Lemon seared Idaho Trout with rice pilaf, it was just OK, not as fresh as hoped. Kurobuta Pork Rack with sweet potato purée and brussel sprouts, cooked to perfections  Carrot Cake topped with warm cream cheese frosting, this was the star of our dinner as it was one of the best carrot cake we've ever had, very different texture in that it was crunchy and fibery to show off the carrot as the star ingredient and complimented perfectly with the fluffy warm cream cheese. read more

The Whistling Grizzly isn't what she used to be. I'm sad to report that we will not be returning to WG on future trips. Two steaks at our table were over seasoned with salt, the salads were meh and I didn't see a point in finishing the desert. Lackluster is the best way to describe our meal. That is not our normal experience here. Do not order the flourless chocolate cake. You'll be disappointed if your looking for a dense, sweet desert. This was spongy, no flavor. The Astoria salad was the highlight of my meal. read more

If I could give this place 6 stars I would. One of our top five restaurants we've visited while traveling. The wait staff was just spectacular and really made this a wonderful experience. Appreciated the humor thrown into the service. Food was just as outstanding! Everything was cooked perfectly. I really appreciate a place with a smaller menu which this place has. They also don't give you the option on temp levels because they know the absolute perfect temp for the best flavor profile. You can tell they pride themselves on what they make and they will not "kill" a precious piece of meat aka cook it over medium. If you like your meat well-done, this is not your place. What a wonderful hidden gem in the Jackson Hole area. Make a reservation and you won't be disappointed. Yes, prices are high as is common in the area but you get what you pay for. read more

Came here based on Yelp's recommendation and had a great experience. We had two different salads, trout and pork chop. They all came out great. Both trout and pork chop were delicious, same were the sides. Our waiter was very friendly and gave great recommendations. Will definitely come back again. read more

We were too tired to go out for dinner our first night, so we decided to eat in the hotel. Were we glad we did! I had the trout, and my husband had the grouper. Both were excellent and served with a gorgeous presentation. Then came dessert. The flourless chocolate torte was good, but it's very dark chocolate so not as sweet as you may be expecting. The carrot cake was fabulous!!! I've never had carrot cake as good as this. Drew was our server and he was awesome. Made great recommendations and took great care of us. read more

This is a not-crowded place, on the quieter side. The service is nice, and gives good information about the food. We ordered the lamb, the Utah trout, the elk tenderloin, the Astoria salad, and the soup special (mushroom fennel purée). The soup was amazing, and was a great start to my dining experience here. The lamb was delicious with the risotto and parsnips. It was perfectly cooked and very flavorful. The elk meat had a yummy huckleberry sauce with it. For dessert I had the carrot cake which was dense but very moist. I would come here again, it was very tasty! read more

Before we visited, I tried Open Table to make a dinner reservation but they were all booked up on the dates we were going to be in town. So, here's a tip: call the restaurant directly and ask if there are any openings. I called them directly and the gentleman booked a reservation for the four of us within minutes! Whistling Grizzly is located inside the Wyoming Inn of Jackson Hole. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, like other restaurants, about half of the tables were left open so that social distancing between patrons could be maintained. Thankfully, they were able to provide inside dining - unlike CA restaurants which are currently limited to take-out or outdoor dining. The interior of the restaurant was warm and inviting with a wilderness vibe: heavy tables, wood and leather chairs, wildlife and landscape pictures on the walls, midwestern carpeting designs. The staff were really friendly and attentive. They checked on us throughout our dinner and provided suggestions on what to order. Our family tried the following for dinner: - Grilled Lockhart Hanger Steak with garlic potato puree, grilled asparagus, and chimichuri - Lemon Herb Seared Idaho Trout with rice pilaf, tomato caper coulis, Dukkah -Wyoming Bison Burger: 8 ounces of fresh ground bison, heirloom tomatoes, iceberg, brie, crispy onions, smoked hickory aioli, fries - Kentucky Mule: Buffalo Trace, Ginger Beer, Lime The steak was cooked to perfection: rare! And it was exactly how my husband likes his steaks. He loved his dish and thought the chimichuri sauce was delicious with the steak and potato puree. The trout was absolutely delicious: the fish was tender, flavorful, and cooked just right. Plus, the rice pilaf, sauce, and seasoning really complimented the trout. Often times, restaurants overcook fish and no sauce or seasonings can make it better. The bison burgers were really good, too. Bison is leaner than beef (and something we're not as used to) but the combination of toppings made these burgers taste oh.so.decadent. And the fries were nice and crispy. The Kentucky Mule was also really good with a nice balance of bourbon and ginger beer. read more

What service! We were greeted instantly by our server (who I think is also in ownership? Not sure) and we were sat by the warm fireplace. We don't drink alcohol, but he made us a virgin margarita and it was fantastic. We started out with the potato leek soup, and to be honest, we didn't like it, so we were nervous about the rest of our meal. We decided to order the ribeye special with smashed Yukon potatoes. It was a giant boneless steak from never never ranch wyoming, so we had the chef split it for us. It. Was. AMAZING. One of, if not THE best, steaks we've ever had. The potatoes and gravy were phenomenal and we savored every last bite. Absolutely a dream come true! For dessert we ordered the huckleberry panna cotta which is made with a cheese instead of cream; giving it a more tart/sour flavor which was intriguing and paired well with the berries. It's was interesting, with the steak being as phenomenal as it was, I would have expected table cloths at the tables at least. I think that would really elevate the space and thus, the experience. We weren't expecting too much when we walked in, but we're happy to say the food and service made up for what the ambiance lacks. We would come back again, especially for anything meat related! read more

I would venture that the Michelin guide would consider adding The Whistling Grizzly to their roster of recommendations. All three entrees, and the flourless torte, were each an expertly crafted balance of flavors, only just falling short of bringing one to a journey beyond the palate, leaving you to focus on your company's silent satisfaction, the ultimate compliment of the best dining experiences. The staff was very pleasant, and you can even buy the kitchen a round to express your thanks!! read more

WOW ! What a JEWEL ! We have had a lot of great food in Jackson Hole but this was the BEST. Our server Wayne was a huge source of local info, cooking tips and just overall great company. His recommendation of the bison tomahawk steak was superb.

You'll find the Whistling Grizzly Restaurant inside the Wyoming Inn. Attire is casual and their menu highlights local and regional fish and bison. Among our group, the bison entrees receive 5 stars, but the Halibut 2 or 3 stars. The Bison Burger ($22) and Elk Tenderloin ($44) won first prize for best entrees of the evening at our table. Hands down the best! Steak and burger cooked perfectly with great sides. Disappointing was the Wild Alaskan Halibut ($39). Two at our table had decided on the Idaho Trout, but our waiter did a great job selling us the Wild Alaskan Halibut. So order we did, and disappointed we were. The Halibut was bland, and the mish mash of Fava beans, leeks, diced Yukon potatoes, English pea purée, and salsa verde was simply not good. While beautifully plated, the bright, colorful concoction was underwhelming and boring, and did nothing to elevate the Halibut. We felt the goal of sales job was to move the Halibut out of their freezer. We would not order again. read more

The Whistling Grizzly - Ribeye - American Near Me - Jackson, Wyoming

Yelpers, country men and women, lend me you're ear! By far the most underrated dining option in JacksonHole! Most of the reviews here on Yelp refer to the breakfast options, we, however dined at the Whistling Grizzly. Oh what a score that was! It will now forever be a tradition when we travel from Colorado to the Teton's in Wyoming! At first blanche, the quaint unassuming dining room may be deceiving. However, the service from Jean Paul and his comrades changes everything. The service = perfect 10 The beverage = perfect 10 The food = slap your momma good The medium rare ribeye was unlike many I've had at extremely posh locales. Cooked to the most perfect medium rare. I can't say enough about the entire experience! The quality of the starters and the entree's and the service. If you skip this while visiting Jackson, you are doing yourself a disservice. Bravo! read more

Over priced for the food was hoping for better steak for the price. Service was below average for what we were paying for.

The room was nicely decorated, clean and comfortable. The restaurant on site was excellent serving farm fresh ingredients. We had dinner and breakfast and both were very good.

We had the most memorable meal here last night! Don't be put off by the surroundings. This is a true "diamond in the rough." By far the best restaurant we ate at in Jackson Hole. From the appetizers to dessert, the food was delicious. Try their soup special.. so good! And the dessert, my son devoured. We got to talk with the chef and his wife who were so delightful. You can tell they take pride in their presentation. Visit this restaurant-you won't be disappointed. read more

Wow, I wish we had been able to have a full meal here, the reviews are wonderful, but even more than that, the appetizers that we brought up to our room were fantastic! Next time I'm in Jackson we will dine here whether we can get in or not, I'll sit on a stoop in the parking lot and dine with my plate on my lap for this restaurant. (Just barely kidding). It's that good. read more

Truly an awesome meal. I was staying at the hotel not assuming it had this fabulous restaurant. Wow am I happy we decided to have dinner here instead of downtown. The service and food were simply wonderful. Warm, inviting, delicious, what more could you want? We had the night's special, which was a ribeye served with a brown butter sauce and mashed potatoes. The steak was cooked to perfection with just the right amount of seared crust on the outside and the perfect medium rare on the inside. The dinner salad was also excellent - I loved the Roquefort/blue cheese dressing that topped it. Really great food, 5 out of 5 stars. Even the ice tea was good! Lol. read more

Made a reservation for 6:00 and was seated immediately. Nice, quiet restaurant. Excellent service! They offered a nice variety of entrees and appetizers. Love everything we ordered. The cowboy short rib lollipops were tender and delicious. The elk was cooked well and the huckleberry sauce was perfect. The pork rack was big but flavorful and I loved the pineapple mostrado and the crispy Brussels sprouts. The peach sorbet was light and refreshing. And they serve the BEST carrot cake. Highly recommend when in Jackson. read more

After reading many reviews about this restaurant at The Wyoming Hotel it was rated 4.8 out of 5 for breakfast. Decided to try it after a early morning wildlife search. Unfortunately I could only give the Whistling Grizzly a 2 The Waitstaff (1) and one young lady as side help were running around like chickens. Why on earth would you only have one server! It was fifteen minutes before our coffee order was taken and 25 minutes before our breakfast order was taken. You can only imagine how long it was before we were served breakfast. This is a beautiful high-end Hotel at $400-500 a night. I felt very sorry for our server. He tried his very best. The young lady served us our breakfast and asked if we needed anything else. I turned and tried to ask my husband (who is recently deaf) would he like Tabasco sauce. He was trying to figure out what I was communicating to him when she said, "Well if you do let me know" and ran off. We never saw her again until it was time to pay the bill. Now for the food. I had the French Toast, which was just "ok" and my husband had the Cowboy plate (picture attached) and I will leave it to that. read more

The Whistling Grizzly - Cowboy Plate @ Whistling Grizzly Restaurant in the Wyoming Hotel - American Near Me - Jackson, Wyoming

We wanted to love our special 70th birthday evening at the Whistling Grizzly which we choose based upon the overall positive ratings about the food - alas, it was ruined by the poor service and rudeness near the end of our dinner. We had a 645pm reservation and were seated promptly (though two guests joined 15 minutes late and had alerted us and the restaurant so we proceeded without them.) Our waiter seemed competent but disinterested and flippant (didn't like his job?) He was not inattentive nor did he suggest we hurry through dinner. The ambiance was clean, comfortable, quiet and not particularly busy on a Thursday evening. The food was quite good and we were particularly satisfied with our main course (trout, elk medallions, pork chop, and spareribs) - we ordered drinks and appetizers immediately and dinner 15 minutes later and finally a birthday dessert that had been prearranged was brought following the main course. We had barely begun our dessert and our waiter had just poured the last of the wine when we were told by the female manager (we think manager but not sure because no one ever introduced themselves) that they had a family of four with two hungry teens who needed our table and we should leave and complete our evening in the hotel lobby. We had not yet finished our wine or dessert nor had they brought the check. Needless to say, the manager's abrupt end to our dinner before we were finished put a damper on our evening. We did not finish our dessert and abandoned it (she suggested she box it and we go to the hotel lobby instead.) This was not a gentle nudging, the lobby had no eating space, and we were stunned. Despite being rushed to pay and leave, the check was not ready. My husband and daughter (who both planned and paid for the event) were particularly offended - we have never experienced this type rudeness in a fine restaurant before....and it was not a positive reflection on the establishment. We felt poorly treated and unwelcome - booted out in favor of another customer! The manager did ultimately come to the lobby and offer complimentary drinks as we were preparing to leave, but it was too late to smooth things over by then - we had already opened a gift and said our goodbyes - she obviously knew she handled it badly, but waited too long to attempt amends and spoiled our experience. There are many dining choices in and around Jackson - unlikely we'll be back to The Whistling Grizzly and NEVER for a special occasion. Our belief is the restaurant staff had mishandled a late reservation (845pm) for four by seating a party of two at the open table for four and then had only a vacant table for two available - not our problem, but they made it ours - it was a disappointing end to an otherwise delightful day in the Teton National park. PS - I rated 2 to be fair in deference to the food quality read more
