“We highly recommend this gem of a restaurant in West Yellowstone. The food was beyond fantastic. On our first night we enjoyed the meatballs (elk & bison ) and the 1/2 chicken both where delicious and cooked to perfection. On our seconded night we ordered the Elk Ravioli and the Elk medallions- wow what can we say it was sooooo good. We even had room for the huckleberry cheesecake which put us in a food coma. Our waitress was Amber and what a sweetheart and she never missed a step. Went out of her way to make our dinner experience extra special. We also want to do a shout out to Brenda the owner you are one special lady. We enjoyed speaking with you from one Wisconsinite to another and we absolutely enjoyed our scotcharoo's on our trip home. If we are ever back in Yellowstone we sure will stop by again.“

Bar N Ranch American • $$$

“Beautiful and surreal spot. Stayed here after The Grand Tetons and Yellowstone. Still close enough that our kids did a day trip to Yellowstone again and we stayed back and relaxed. West Yellowstone town is about 5 min down the road. Views are amazing. Very peaceful and the staff was super nice and accommodating. I definitely give 5 stars for something unique and relaxing.“

I think I may have embarrassed her by pointing out how beautiful she is lol Day one I ordered the tritip dip it was so good the waffle frieswere tasty, day two I ordered the chicken fried state with loaded bake potato and white rice chicken soup! Amazing also the huckleberry cheese cake for the win! If you like to gamble there is a tiny casino area and also a bar area. The hours are sporadic at the moment but call ahead and see!

PARK 520 HOTEL American •
155 Einos Loop, West Yellowstone

“A true hidden gem.

It is not just a hotel. Not just an Airbnb. It is a luxury cozy private home stay. We loved staying at Park 520 Hotel. We directly booked the hotel for 2 nights and it was the best cabin we stayed in.

It has all the amenities, we had a good cell phone signal (my service provider is TMobile). They also have wifi. Has hot water, room heater, hair dryer, collection of towels, bedsheets/comforter, 4 burner gas stove, fridge, microwave, kitchen utensils and cutlery.

The view in front of the house was incredible. It was a big open valley and there was a horse ranch on the side. We saw 3 beautiful horses eating grass.

Bed was so comfortable. We had a tight sleep after long hiking. It was so soft and pleasant.

Has good collection of utensils, coffee machine, sugar/salt.

Luckily there was a partial red moon and viewing the shining moon 🌙 at early morning 5 am just by standing near the window is my best moment here. Moonset on the mountain 🌄 is a great to watch.

There is a picnic table in front of our cabin #1 and having a hot coffee by seeing mountain in the front was a good time.

I definitely recommend this place. It is just 9 mins drive from the West Yellowstone town. I found, booking directly in their website was more affordable than booking this place in Airbnb/other 3rd party booking sites.

We will come back for sure !!“

So grateful for this opportunity and for your gracious, kind, caring staff!!! 💖 I look forward to returning and visiting this incredible lodge again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Bison 🦬 Ribeye was by far the best steak I've ever eaten and we raised grass-fed beef 😋 so I'm pretty spoiled and biased. Thank you so much!!!“

“Good pizza and pasta. Our server was friendly and the service was fine. I was stopped at the bathroom by a gentleman questioning my role as a guest. I assume they have a lot of people just run in to use the bathroom by the way I was suddenly stopped, but considering I was with a large group of people walking out with to-go boxes of food we had just purchased at the restaurant, I'm not sure what the indicator was for questioning me. It didn't dampen my visit much, but I felt very annoyed by the questioning after having been in the restaurant for over an hour.“

“One of the best chinese restaurants here or back home! Decided to give Park One a try since it is right across from Kelly Inn 3 minutes from the west entrance to Yellowstone. Asked for less salt after a previous reviewers recommendation and the food was perfect. Very vegan friendly (ask for no meat, no egg, no fish sauce) fast service and good portions. Lots of parking since it is off the main street. Right next to the grizzly and wolf discovery center. A yummy change from all the park food (pizza and burgers). Ate here twice already and wish there was one at home. Glad we ignored the low ratings. The braised tofu was delicious! Give it a go!“
