18 Best American Restaurants in West Yellowstone

“Great food!!! Also order a drink from Paige- we will call it “Paige’s Peach”. Ask for it…it’s not on the menu (yet 😉)“

“Had a great experience at Bar and Ranch! The woman at the front desk, Rachelle, was so helpful planning our trip and with recommendations. Absolutely beautiful property - it was so nice drinking my coffee from the balcony and by the fire in the morning. S'mores were such a fun touch. Only complaint was the bathrooms in the room desperately need an update and weren't very clean.“

“The bison burger was SO good! Highly recommend Hank’s“

“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.“

“My husband and I came here for lunch. We enjoyed everything so much. The restaurant was completely empty so it made for a quiet atmosphere. I'm sure during peak season this place is poppin because the food was incredible. I have been to Black Sheep Cafe in Provo, but it was almost a decade ago, and it's all I've been talking about for a couple months so when we saw on the website we had one relatively locally (we live in Big Sky) I was excited to check it out. The best part was the affordability to portions. We enjoyed that we were full and satisfied without having to take leftovers home - this is great for you travelers out there! Wish we took pictures, but we had a wonderful experience and recommend 10/10. Food was wholesome, nutritious and flavorful!! Thank you so much.“

“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 !!“

“First off, this would be our second day in a row here. The food is amazing and the staff is great! We had Florina for our waitress both day she is very sweet and beautiful! 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! You won't be dissapointed.“

“Awesome coffee and even better service. Thanks! We’ll definitely be back.“

“Great burgers!! Good service. Good beers.“

“Update**. 1/20/2025
Three years later I came back and was blown away by the different experience. The food was delicious and the staff attentive. Miguel's a good manager and clearly loves the food industry. Alex makes the best, crispy chicken tenders and wings. The bison tacos are a must!

Came in around 5:30 on Tuesday. The trout was over cooked, the red mash potatoes and the chili came out cold. The Caesar salad was a mess of gross lettuce and was over dressed and the drinks were terrible. I'm not usually one to NOT finish a drink but my friend's lemon drop sat 50% full as we left. Waiter DNGAS.“

“We loved this restaurant. The pancakes are the best that I have ever had. We would definitely return. Our waitress Izzy (not sure if spelled correctly) was so sweet and friendly.“

“This was the BEST week of my life. Thank you to all of your staff for going over and above in every situation. The hospitality shown was above any I've ever experienced. 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!!!“

“Can’t go wrong with Happy Hour Bar. 😊Awesome staff, always friendly atmosphere, creative drinks, yummy comfort food— plus stunning, AMAZING views of beautiful Hebgen lake! 😍“

“Amazing, great food, great service“

“Had an outstanding meal this evening. Bison filet for my husband and Bison meatloaf for me. Both were perfectly prepared and the service was exceptional.“

“Stopped in for breakfast on Sunday. Got there at the perfect time as it got pretty busy not long after we sat. Our waitress was great! She handled a full restaurant like a pro. Our latte’s were just right. Fruit was nice and fresh on my son’s yogurt. Eggs Florentine had perfectly poached eggs, giant English muffins. Breakfast potatoes were a hit for everyone at our table. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Service slow. Waited an hour for our meal after waiting a half hour to order our drinks and order dinner. Very high priced for the meals we got. The meats were overcooked and dry. Sides were served lukewarm.“

“Drive-thru: staff was terrific and our food was very fresh.“
