    The best food we found in Yellowstone. So good, we went 3 of the 5 evenings we were in the area. Food: - Maryland crab cakes: really good, scallops cooked well, huckleberry added good flavor, sage cream corn was great - Pear prosciutto and burrata salad: really good and very generous - soup of the day: cream of mushroom one day and broccoli cheddar the next, both very warm and cozy - prime rib: great flavor, cooked well - bison rib eye: fattier than expected in a good way! - surf and turf: also great flavor and cooked well - seafood scampi Del Mar: good! -huckleberry crème brûlée: to die for Love that the entrees come with soup or salad and choice of baked potato or fries. Side salad is very generous. Service is amazing, they remembered us after the second time. They do get busy though but understandably cause it's so good. Decor is very woody and homey

    The food was delicious and service by Jonas was excellent! We had the huckleberry pancakes, the breakfast sandwich and bacon. The biscuits were especially good: light, fresh and fluffy. This is a great place for breakfast!

    3 Bear meatloaf. Super yummy! Sauce was not spicy.

    A+. This place is downright amazing!!! The food is outstanding. Service is great! We had Kevin and he was on top of things. Our water was never empty. The restaurant is clean and has both tables and comfortable booths. We had the Bison burger, Cajun pasta, 3 bear meatloaf and kids chicken strips and mac n cheese. But the bread they bring to the table is the best bread we have ever tasted. It must be made in-house! We are here on vacation but will likely come back before we leave.

    had a solid dinner here, prices were fair, service was good. no complaints other than the asparagus could have used some more seasoning (or any seasoning at all?? lol) interior isn't anything exciting or special, just a good standard restaurant that i believe does a breakfast buffet which sounds great!

    Elk and Bison skewers and hummus platter.

    Fun craft cocktails and good food. Very impressed with the Mediterranean hummus and the bison and elk skewers were yummy (could have used a dash more seasoning but tender and very good). Isaac was a fantastic bartender and showed a lot of pride in making good craft cocktails. They were delicious! The Maple old fashioned was delicious as well. He also let us sample his clarified margarita and it was so smooth and so delicious! Will definitely go back before we leave.

    Absolutely LOVED this place. The ambience is cozy and homey and old school. The decor feels like country, with wooden tables and chairs, as well as booth seating. The food was delicious on the whole. One thing I'll say is that the pita was a bit hard and stale. We were so full after eating our apps and entrees that we were bummed we couldn't get dessert. Shoutout to 6'7" Kevin for being a great server.

    Plenty of options to choose from (we only came here for breakfast). Our breakfast voucher from the lodge covered up to $10 on the menu and a drink. Our breakfast items ranged from English muffin breakfast sammies, breakfast burritos, western omelette, huckleberry pancakes, biscuits and gravy, etc. They did have a breakfast buffet for $14.95 advertised as one of the options one day. Even with short staffing, it took less than 45 minutes from sitting, ordering, to finishing. The restaurant was never full most days and the bear decor cute. I was informed that they no longer have bison sausage on the menu (like the online menu suggests). 2023 #42

    We stopped here during our cross-country move before our trip to Yellowstone the next day. We were very pleasantly surprised! This was one of the only places that had vegetarian options in an area full of BBQ/burger restaurants. My partner got the bison burger and enjoyed it; I got the marinara pasta and the eggplant fries with aioli. I highly recommend the eggplant fries; they reminded me of the zucchini fritters my mom would make growing up. The chef was greeting customers and I overheard that they make everything fresh in-house; "scratch made". Service was friendly and our takeout order was out quickly.

Everything at the table looked fresh and hearty. I also loved how easy checkout was. They bring the receipt directly to the table with a QR code so paying was quick and convenient, and our server was super accommodating by splitting the bill four ways with no issue. The restaurant itself has that cute cozy cabin-style feel, plus they sell fun T-shirts and souvenirs inside. Extra shoutout for helping me wrap my breakfast burrito to go before our flight. They brought me foil paper so I could keep it warm, tossed it in my bag, and yep... I ended up eating it on the plane later. Definitely a solid five-star breakfast stop while visiting Yellowstone!

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.

And love affogatto (esspresso poured over ice cream). They give you a choice of how many scoops (one is enough for me) and how many shots (one or two).

We tried the huckleberry coffee (much better than I expected) and the huckleberry cobbler latte (one with esspresso and one with matcha). And I had a waffle cone with huckleberry icecream with a double shot of esspresso on the side. Prices were great. Serving sizes were great. Flavors were awesome!

Old Town Cafe was our pick since it seemed to have a variety of different dishes, including options without meat, and the prices seemed reasonable compared to some nearby competitors.

Nothing fancy but they did the job and had generous portions. The huckleberry lemonade, a local drink, was also a refreshing surprise that wasn't too sweet. I definitely recommend giving this a try if you want to try something unique to the area.

In a town where…read morebreakfast options can be somewhat limited, service can move at a different pace than larger cities, and many establishments don't open particularly early, Book Peddler fills a nice niche by serving good coffee, made-to-order breakfast items, and offering a genuinely enjoyable bookstore to browse before heading into Yellowstone. I'd still suggest checking their website for seasonal hours, but we found them open early enough to comfortably fuel up before entering the park. The coffee program is surprisingly strong for a small tourist town bookstore café. They offer several locally roasted coffees, including lighter roasts, darker roasts, and decaf options, along with espresso drinks and specialty coffee beverages. We found the coffee to be among the better options available in town. The breakfast menu was another pleasant surprise. Rather than relying solely on pastries or grab-and-go items, many of the offerings are prepared to order. You'll find breakfast burritos, sandwiches, vegetarian selections, and meat options, giving most travelers enough variety to satisfy differing tastes. It's one of the few places in West Yellowstone where you won't be steered towards elk or bison! During our visit they offered both vegetable and ham quiches, along with chili. Everything we tried was fresh, satisfying, and felt like a step above what we expected to find in a small gateway community. Service is solid, though perhaps not spectacular by large-city standards. Orders can take a little while during busier periods, but honestly it felt very much on pace with West Yellowstone as a whole. The staff was friendly, accommodating, and seemed genuinely interested in making sure guests had a good experience. Given the town's relative isolation and dependence on deliveries, it's also not uncommon for certain items to occasionally be unavailable, whether that's a specific milk option, produce item, or pastry. We found the staff to be upfront about availability, and it never materially detracted from the experience. The bookstore itself is worth spending some time in, even if you originally stopped by only for coffee. The selection leans heavily into Yellowstone, national parks, western fiction, travel, and regional history. It's a much better place to find a unique souvenir or gift to bring home than another shop selling the same T-shirts, magnets, and trinkets found throughout town. Final Thoughts: Book Peddler quietly does several things well at once. It's a good coffee shop, a surprisingly strong breakfast stop, and an independent bookstore that rewards browsing. If you're spending a few days in West Yellowstone, I would recommend making at least one morning visit before heading into the park. We enjoyed it enough that it became part of our Yellowstone routine. -AC
