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.

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

After extensive research, my husband and I were thrilled to choose this restaurant over many others. It turned out to be an excellent decision. We opted for three dishes featuring bison, and to our delight, even our three-year-old toddler relished every bite. The food here is not only tasty but also surprisingly affordable. What impressed us equally was the reasonable pricing of the drinks, which complemented our meal perfectly without breaking the bank. In fact, our entire bill for plenty of delicious local dishes came in at under $100, making it a budget-friendly dining experience that didn't compromise on quality or flavor. Beyond the culinary delights, the restaurant provided a wonderful setting for family bonding. We enjoyed good conversation and cherished moments together, making our visit more than just a meal but a memorable outing filled with warmth and satisfaction. In conclusion, this restaurant stands out not only for its flavorful offerings but also for its unbeatable value. It's a place where great taste meets affordability, ensuring that every dining experience is not only enjoyable but also leaves us looking forward to our next visit. read more

If you're in West Yellowstone, Montana, Three Bear Restaurant is a must-visit. The rustic charm and cozy ambiance make it the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring Yellowstone National Park. My family enjoyed their bison burgers, which were cooked to perfection--juicy and flavorful. As a vegetarian, I opted for the Veggie Pasta Primavera, and it was delightful--fresh vegetables tossed in a light, savory sauce. The service was warm and welcoming, adding to the overall enjoyable experience. Whether you're a local or a visitor, Three Bear Restaurant offers a memorable dining experience that captures the spirit of the great outdoors. read more

As soon as the doors open at 5:00PM, if you're not already in the queue to get your name on a list for a table, you may be waiting for a bit. We ended up dining her twice, over the course of two days, as our road trip through Yellowstone found us back here at Old Faithful both evenings. During our first visit, our server Hudson, who honestly was one of the best servers we've encountered anywhere (management, take note!), was genuinely pleasant to interact with, efficient, engaging, and accurate. We split an amazing charcuterie board (probably the best thing on their menu), the lamb lollipops (man, that chimichurri is on another level!), and a couple of cocktails, and had a wonderful experience. During our second visit, things were still very good, although I think we'd been spoiled a bit by Hudson. Our server wasn't quite as charming (Hudson was engaged with other tables nearby, to our chagrin), and our meals not quite as enchanting (still good, but lacking a little something), but by no means wasn't a bad experience whatsoever. For specifics: my wife's wild mushroom pasta, to which she added some grilled shrimp, was really great...but would have been less so without the added shrimp: too small of a portion, and no significant source of protein or substance - just a plate of noodles and fungus. That may sound like a nitpick, and in truth, it is, but as-is, it's lacking something, and doesn't warrant its price point. All things considered, the Obsidian Room does most things right, and a few things need improvement, but when it comes to service, they're knocking things out of the (national) park...and considering the colossal size of Yellowstone, that's one hell of a home run!

Reviews here are very mixed. I visited two nights in a row…read more It is a decent restaurant setting with a feel that smashes fast food casual into a mid level chain restaurant.

You get what you get and won't have an opportunity to fix it. Quality: go ahead and roll the dice. My son ordered a smash burger the first visit and it was to order. We both ordered one on our second visit and both were missing lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. Oddly, mine came out on two bottom buns. Again, given their service, you have suck it up because nobody will fix it. I saw a fairly decent sized man order a steak next to me and he only ate a few bites,,,that told me all I needed to know about that 50 buck entree. Pricing: it is expensive for what you get, but, relative toward other options in the area, it isn't horrible. Stick to the cheaper options and roll with the punches. Hope this helps!

The service here was great, it was out waitress Brooke's first night and she was wonderful. The manager and staff overall were fantastic and the food came out at a good pace, not too long or short a wait. For starters we ordered the grilled peach burrata salad, elk and bison chili, crispy brussel sprouts and chicken wings with huckleberry bbq sauce. Each of these were very tasty and we would eat them all again. I would argue the appetizers were better than the entrees. The wings were slightly under par compared to the other dishes, but that is just because they needed more huckleberry flavor (very light). For entrees we ordered the pan seared trout and the grilled ribeye. Both were massive portions, the trout came with wild rice and asparagus, the steak came with goat cheese mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts. The trout was served as two big filets (found a few small bones, but no big deal) and was cooked well, but one filet needed more seasoning and was a little fishy tasting. The rice was a bit boring and dry, but the asparagus were superb. The ribeye was cooked nicely and tasted even better with the chipotle lime butter it came with. The mashed potatoes were great and did taste of goat cheese and the brussel sprouts were delicious, very similar to the appetizer preparation. Similar to the trout, the portion of steak was large, but a good portion of it was gristle and fat (about 30-40%). Overall a nice meal with huge serving sizes. Had we known how big the entrees would be, we may have shared one or ordered less appetizers. Great service with a pleasant ambiance.

We realized at 1pm that we were all hungry. Yelped a few places in the area. The Cafe was close…read moreand we had to hustle because they closed at 3 pm. Arrived by 1:30pm and got seated. What a cute homey place with nice staff. We had 2 orders of grilled chicken salad and a ham and cheese sandwich. The food arrived and looked good. The chicken was nicely grilled, tender and still warm. There were also tomatoes, cheese and cucumbers. I ate it all. My friend also enjoyed her sandwich. We heard from staff that breakfast was awesome. Another trip is warranted. Parking lot right out front. No masks needed.
