The fruit was excellent, and the ingredients went together well (goat cheese, candied pecans, mint). My daughter loved the trout entree (although it was pricy at $38!), and my son enjoyed his cup of chili. We weren't sure whether to get the cup or bowl, and the waiter said he thought the cup would be enough, but he offered to bring more chili for free if needed, and he was good on his word! The huckleberry creme brulee was excellent. The Basque cheesecake was good, although it wasn't browned like they usually are. The chocolate pecan pie was good although a bit decadent. Our servers were always very friendly and helpful.

The meat was cooked perfectly and served with a burgundy reduction on the side (there is a choice of sauce) and charred broccolini. I ordered mashed potatoes with it and got orzo in error, so then I was served a giant bowl of mashed potatoes that I really wish I could have finished. We had the cream of wild mushroom soup to start and it was amazing! My only beef is that they didn't have any fresh horseradish which should be a given with prime rib. The room is lovely - what you expect at the lodge - with an incredible view of the range and all the tables at the windows are 2-tops, so we lucked out. Our server was Leah and she was quite friendly and turns out she is close friends with Kyle who we had a great time with at the Pioneer Grill. She was also really sweet when we couldn't decide if we wanted another glass of wine, she offered to split us one and brought us 2 half glasses. They have different menus for lunch and dinner and saw they have butternut squash soup at lunch, which is my favorite. Hopefully we will be back at the lodge sometime and can try the lunch!

Dinner With a (Partially Obstructed) View…read more... Dining at the Mural Room is something of a rite of passage for many visitors staying at Jackson Lake Lodge, and I can certainly understand the appeal. The setting is iconic, the murals themselves are impressive, and the restaurant is clearly intended to be the signature dining experience within the lodge. Unfortunately, while we enjoyed aspects of our meal, the overall experience didn't quite justify the premium positioning or pricing. The food itself was generally well executed, although the portions/sides were on the weaker side. The trout was nicely prepared, and the whole roasted chicken was flavorful and satisfying. The kitchen appears capable of producing quality dishes, which made the children's menu somewhat puzzling. It consisted primarily of the usual suspects--burgers, chicken tenders, hot dogs, and grilled cheese. Given the number of families staying at Jackson Lake Lodge and the thoughtfulness displayed in options on the adult menu, I expected something a bit more creative or reflective of the region. Cocktails proved to be somewhat hit or miss. The Huckleberry Lemonade was interesting and enjoyable, and several of the house cocktails utilizing herb- and flower-infused spirits were unique and well executed. The bar program seems to shine most when leaning into creative, regional-inspired drinks that the bartender(s) can simply execute to menu. On the other hand, the more traditional cocktails we sampled, including a Manhattan and a Martini, were underwhelming and suggested that the bar is considerably stronger at crafting house specialties than executing classics or going "off menu". We did not sample dessert, so I can't comment on that aspect of the menu. Service landed squarely in the middle for me. It was good by the standards of many restaurants and certainly pleasant enough, but it felt a step below what I expected from a restaurant marketed as the flagship dining venue of a premier national park lodge. Similarly, while the murals and surrounding architecture remain impressive, guests dining in the evening should be aware that the window shades are often lowered to reduce sun glare, which substantially diminishes what many people likely envision as the marquee attraction: enjoying dinner while taking in unobstructed views of the Tetons. Pricing also felt ambitious relative to portion sizes. Nothing was egregious, but there was a persistent sense throughout the meal that the restaurant was asking guests to pay a premium for the setting and reputation as much as for the dining experience itself. Final Thoughts: The Mural Room might be worth experiencing once, particularly for guests staying at Jackson Lake Lodge or those interested in its history. The food is competently prepared, the setting remains memorable, and some of the more inventive cocktails are genuinely enjoyable. However, I'd encourage diners to calibrate expectations. In my view, the Mural Room succeeds more as an iconic lodge dining room and experience than as a destination restaurant. Further, I might point you to the nearby Heron Lounge for equivalent views and service as well as a more reasonably priced (and maybe more approachable) menu. -AC

They do, however, serve some of the best fries I've had, which rather steals the hot dog's thunder. Would've liked relish, but who cares ! The coffee was excellent, and the shakes were gloriously large, thick, and unapologetically milky, complete with a proper straw sturdy enough to handle the challenge. The huckleberry milkshake and berry crumble were both spot on. The only downside was the service. There seemed to be a bit of a rush to clear plates, even while people were still eating, which adds an unexpected sense of urgency to a casual meal. Most of the staff appeared to be trainees, which may explain the occasional rough edges. With a little more polish, the experience would match the quality of the milkshakes rather nicely.

I stayed a few nights at the Lodge since the hotels were all booked up in Jackson Hole and it turns out that it was my great fortune! My stay was fine with clean rooms, comfortable beds, and high speed internet available. The hidden gem is definitely the Red Fox Saloon. The menu is limited, but totally fine given the challenge of the logistics to get supplies delivered up the mountain on a regular basis. Today, I was in the mood for a nice salad and big bowl of chili. Goodness, I was in luck! The salad was super sized with plenty of lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, and other garden goodies! The chili was giant hot bowl filled with beans and a combination of bison and elk meat. I definitely tasted the elk, but if you fear enjoy meat other than beef, do not worry. It is a hot bowl of pure yumminess!

I asked the hostess if they was only server and then she found our server. We ordered drinks and food at the same time. Our drinks sat up on the counter of the bar for 8-10 minutes. I finally went and grabbed the drinks myself. One minute later the food came too. The food was cold. Fries were stale and bland. We got a Cesar salad which had the non fresh bad part of the romaine lettuce. The trout tacos tasted ok and the fish was fresh (thankfully, we were scared). When I asked for the bill, that was brought and processed immediately but I wasn't given the itemized statement. So I had to go back to the hostess as we rarely saw our server. Overall, would not recommend unless you're just coming for drinks. Unfortunately, not many options in this area.

That is to say it was pretty average for a normal restaurant outside of the park. The Mac and cheese sauce was perfect, and it wasn't too thick making the meal not too heavy. The burger was very average however, it tasted like something I would cook at home during July 4th. The bison tasted just like steak and was very tender but the seasoning was just a bit too salty for me. It was balanced by the potatoes, which had a good consistency and flavour. My personal favorite was the trout which alone, wouldve bumped this review up to a 4.5 star. It was cooked decently, with the meat being quite tender and the seasoning on top was delicious. The cauliflower rice was slightly tangy and the greens were tender and well cooked bringing out a whole new flavour when all these elements combined, a very unique taste that I had never experienced before. I like how this restaurant doesn't just have generic dishes but personalized ones that you can't just get anywhere. The dishes were in the smaller side.

My partner and I both really liked their potatoes as it seemed they were roasted and not fried as they weren't oily at all.
