Okay burgers. Meh fries (hand cut is only a part of the process, you need to learn to fry things) Overfried onion rings. I mostly enjoyed the free refills, but who can mess that up

No no no. Very rarely would I write a review unless it was necessary. If I didn't have the dogs to cart back to the truck and head back to our Airbnb, I would've stayed behind and told people in line not to order.
Burgers were incredibly overpriced ($21+) for what they were. I get it if it was premium bison or elk meat, but I wasn't impressed with the lack of taste and seasoning. Felt like a burger slapped together by my 10 year old nephew.
Fries, my goodness. Not sure why I finished all but three fries since they were disgusting, but I needed to keep eating them to figure out what was wrong with them. At first glance, it looked like they were going to be super crispy! But, they were limp and flaccid and had absolutely no flavor. I actually thought they were sweet potatoes fries upon first bite. It seemed like they were undercooked or JUST boiled...nonetheless, it's hard to mess up fries, but this place did.
Chicken wings, DO NOT ORDER. They tasted like frozen Tyson wings and for $19, it was an ultimate let down. But crazily enough, the wings were not the worst part of the meal.
To top it all off, we ordered ONE root beer and a shake, but were charged for TWO sodas and a milkshake. We never got the root beer or milkshake and the clerk (young kid with attitude) mentioned he told us to pick it up around back, but we were never told that and assumed it came with the food. We finished the food and no drinks came, so we asked for a refund which was given in cash along with the attitude.
Overall, seemed like a significant lack of desire to run a good business and seems like they are relying on their marketing (oldest restaurant in town + bison & elk burgers for the Yellowstone crowd) to do the heavy lifting.
Only positive thing was the outdoor seating that allowed for dogs. But that was it.

Place was horrible. They are out of everything. They had absolutely no seasoning on the burgers. The drinks were absolutely disgusting. Views were good. Tenders and fries were good. My friends literally made fun of the restaurant and food for the rest of the week of our vacation it was that bad.

We were 8 people , ordered 4 kids and 4 adults. They claim the meet is the same ( beef ) for all, but the adults burgers were in eatable, while the kids burgers were quite nice . At the end they accepted to replace our burgers to the kids burgers. Also, confirmed the meet was not fresh ( defrosted at 6 am ) Unfortunately can’t recommend anyone going here

Over priced option with a fun patio to draw people in. Out of a lot of stuff. Don’t get the wings. $20 for 6 tiny wings. Out of the sauce we ordered and they didn’t tell us just brought a different one.

As far as a quick bite for burgers and fries, it was a good stop and had the Ma and Pa vibe. The only reason I'm not giving a 5 is because the bison burger was good but a little dry as was the chicken on the chicken salad. But the chicken salad, was huge, so I wasn't as upset about paying the $21.95 for it as I was at first. It's not like there's a ton of restaurants in Gardiner, so choices are small, and this is a pretty good one that won't completely break the bank compared to other tourist traps. Think food truck prices without the truck. The kids burger is almost as large as an adult burger with just less fries.
We sat outside, which has a play area for kids, and then there is a larger area outside that plays music and has a good vibe for those who don't want to be by the play area. Didn't realize there was an inside dining area until after we were done eating because it was kind of hidden around the corner but it wasn't anything special. For what it is they do the best they can to make it family friendly and also appeal to travelers who don't want to sit in playland.
Overall good for a quick bite, but not knock your socks off kind of thing. There was an issue with one of our orders, where they had missed a burger. I realized later might have even been out fault, but they were good about resolving it and got another burger made up, so 5 stars for service.
Overall 4 stars just because the food was a little dry.

I had such a great experience at The Corral in Montana! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming — a perfect mix of cozy and lively. The staff truly made the visit memorable. The cashier was friendly and efficient, greeting us with a smile and making everything smooth right from the start. The runners were equally impressive — attentive, quick, and always making sure our table had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed.
The food was absolutely delicious! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The portions were generous, and it was clear that a lot of care went into both the cooking and presentation. Combined with the great service and comfortable vibe, it made for a dining experience that was both relaxing and memorable.
I would highly recommend The Corral to anyone looking for great food, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere. It’s the kind of place you’ll want to come back to again and again!
Best bison burger in town,only down side is sign said Pepsi products, they dont.they only had coke products, if I'd known that I'm not sure I'd stopped there

The food at this place is highly overrated. I realize we may have been there on an “off” night, but my fries were soggy and inedible. The burger was overcooked and the bun was mushy- they ought to include cheese for the price. We had cheese curds which were good. The best thing about it is the outdoor dining area which is large and very pleasant. I did not try the ice cream but it looked good.
