The best breakfast burrito I've ever had in my life. (Sausage)
Nate C.

If you want the best breakfast ever, you better stop here. We stayed in Gardiner for two days while in the park and we made sure to stop here both days. The food is amazing, coffee is great and the people are so friendly! The owners/managers seem to really take ownership and make sure the customers are satisfied. You can also ask enjoy the views of the mountains while eating in the outside seating area as well! They also have a great selection of shirts, souvenirs and drinks to go. Highly recommend this place to everyone!

Fantastic spot right by the entrance! The food was excellent--especially the burgers, Mediterranean skewers, and ice cream. Quick service and crispy, delicious chips made it a perfect meal.

My new spot for a matcha to stop and grab before entering the park! Get the huckleberry one as it's not too sweet! Didn't have this but heard the buffalo tacos are delish from a woman who owns a catering business. Lots of cute hats, tshirts and sweatshirts too. Oh and the ice cream is good as well. Parking right out front but on a busy weekend it can be tough. Free bathroom for customers.

Breakfast sandwich
Samantha G.

We were looking for a quick breakfast restaurant that opened early so we can grab a bite to eat before heading to Yellowstone National park. The men and women that worked here were very friendly, and energetic that one morning! I ordered a breakfast sausage sandwich, and my husband ordered a breakfast burrito! We both enjoyed our breakfast choices! The restaurant was clean, and doubled down as a gift/souvenir shop/coffee shop/ice cream shop! Who says you cannot do it all?!

Bison burger
Chris G.

One of the friendliest and most welcoming food stops in Montana. Hit Yellowstone Perk back to back nights for dinner. It's like Central Perk from "Friends" with a small town twist! First night Bison burger, second night Elk bratwurst. Both tasty. The wife got Bison tacos both nights and enjoyed them. Witnessed a sweet card trick that a local showed us at the table that was fun! No doubt one of the best chocolate milkshakes I've had. When in Gardiner, Montana swing in for a good meal, tasty treat, or full coffee bar to take your Yellowstone vacation to the next LEVEL!

The best cold brew I had in Yellowstone was here! There were patrons lining out the door. The nicest man was working here, I believe his name was Tony. He was greeting everyone like they were family. All the cold brew needed was a splash of milk, it was such high quality. The milkshakes looked great, so maybe we'll try that next time.

Great place to stop by and hydrate after a day at Yellowstone! Got me an iced white chocolate mocha white it's 65 degrees out. Friendly service and cute ambiance

Megan V.

My goodness! These people are so so friendly and enjoy this place. The atmosphere alone makes this place a great place to eat. However, the food is just as amazing as the staff. They also have great souvenirs. Highly recommend if you're nice. If you come here as a cranky snob, steer clear. These people are too nice for you.

I believe it was around $15-17 per foot long sandwich and so worth it with it lasting us all day. The bread is soft and not too much, with a generous amount of fillings and meat inside.

On our last day, tired of snacks from the grocery store for breakfast, we looked for a restaurant to have a real meal and found the Deli very close to our hotel. As I mentioned, subs at lunch were great and, since they are open for breakfast, we ate there. Not many tables inside but most of their business is takeout so no issues there. Breakfast offerings are limited but great. I had a bacon/egg/cheese croissant and fishing partner had the waffles. Both highly recommended. Other items offered included omelets which we did not try. If we were thinking correctly we would have grabbed a couple subs for lunch and regretted this oversight later in the day!

There is a shelf right next to the cash register where you can grab whichever ones you want and bring it back to your table. We were already trying these before we had our food. The cafe itself is super cute and cozy with plants all around and different pieces of art. They even sell items from local artists including beef tallow lotion and earrings. They have a clean bathroom and an outdoor eating area. They have a vast menu for lunch where the sandwiches are names after dogs and a smaller menu for breakfast. We go there around 11 and were able to order from both so unsure if there is a time limit for either. The staff were so sweet and gave their recommendations and even though it's a cafe, they will bring out your food for you when it's ready. We did still bring our dishes back to the counter, unsure how they generally do that though. We asked for pickles and they kindly gave us some. The burritos were huge and filling but the sandwiches themselves were also good. Unsure what names were but I didn't love the one with the carrots in them. The staff recommended the breakfast sandwich with the biscuit, and although it was good, the biscuit was not the best choice. It broke so easily and made a mess. Unsure of the name of the drink but it was like a lemonade and it was delicious. Definitely would come back and try more hot sauce though

Picked up sandwiches twice to bring into the park and they were a welcome meal after a morning of hiking. Loved that they featured gifts and things to purchase from local artists and makers.

There is a variety of artwork, from fun posters to beautiful nature photos along the walls. For the dinner service, we also appreciated the candlelight feel with instrumental pop music in the background. We stayed primarily in the dining area but also noticed that the restaurant appears to have a bar and maybe casino in the backroom? A huge plus is a souvenir shop featuring tons of Huckleberry products next door. Now on to the food! We were very impressed. My husband ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich and I ordered the bison burger. The servers were all so friendly and kind and super helpful, recommending the bison to be cooked medium. The food portions were generous, the fries were crispy, and the bison burger was juicy with the right amount of tomato, lettuce, pickles, and melted Swiss cheese to make the flavors pop. Could you tell how much we loved the food? To top it all off, we ordered dessert and had the most delicious Huckleberry cobbler with Huckleberry ice cream. I asked the waitress if that was too much Huckleberry, and she said the ice cream was a hit -- it really made the dessert. Oddly, it was reminiscent of breakfast, but in the best way. The cobbler was warm, the Granola was crunchy, and the ice cream was cool and sweet. The medley of textures honestly made this the best dessert I've had this year. Hats off to the Yellowstone Mine staff and chefs for making the start of our trip so memorable!

While small in size and selection, GSG (solely an acronym and not meant to sound like a new street…read moredrug) is the closest shop to the north entrance of Yellowstone National Park. Since addresses are practically non-existent in Gardiner, MT (check out Google Maps if you don't believe me), just go all the way to the far west end of the main shopping strip on Park Street or simply ask one of the locals. GSG is a gift shop with a lot of key chains, bumper stickers, knick-knacks and cute children's t-shirts. Next door, like all the other souvenir shops in Gardiner, is a little cafe selling sweets and coffee. GSG's cafe seems to be the only cafe in town to actually have locals in it drinking their coffees while passing countless hours of the day away (most likely gossiping about own townies and homely, outdoorsy tourists). I recommend Yellowstone Gifts & Sweets down the street but both stores have different items for sale unlike many other tourist towns.

Owner Jerry is great, he makes an awesome specialty coffee as compared to the pharmacy/coffee shop next door. Nice quaint sitting area, a full view of park entrance arch and the mountain range ahead.

We ordered the burrito, which was a great item to split. They put the cheese on top of the burrito.. and were out of knives, so in order to eat it... we had to pry it apart with the plastic spoon and forks that we got. The chili was a complete disappointment.. I was really looking forward to it.. there was ONE block of meat... again, no knives so you couldn't really try and cut it apart and enjoy it in a few bites either.. The place has a great presentation, but the food and rules in general were a huge let down.
