Restaurants in Yellowstone National Park

“Did not eat here only browsed the store. It was very busy and hard to maneuver through. Not big selection of plus size shirts. Could not find my husband's size. Prices are bit high. Bathrooms small had wait in line for only 2 stalls for huge crowds.”

“I mean it's a cafeteria. I wasn't going in expecting a Michelin review on the wall. I had a solid pile of pulled pork and my son had some tasty mac and cheese. The corn on the cob was meh but this place isn't that bad if you're hungry. I went 5 stars because they are way underrated. Prob a 4.1 spot.”

“Food was delicious. Spent $100 for two people. Got two appetizers and two entrees. Wasn't offered a dessert menu so after we left back to our room I decided to go get some dessert. The older lady who was the hostess was not friendly at all. Then after getting 3 ice creams "to go" I gave her my money and she asked if I want my change! For what? Handing me a bad of ice cream with our even any spoons or napkins. Yes I'd like my change for my to go dessert, which really should have been offered after our dinner that we paid $120 for after tip.... Dinner great, hostess not. And not pleased that our waiter didn't offer a dessert menu when we heard him offering it to other people.”

“Menu is extremely plain, but the quality of food is adequate and the service is prompt enough. It's all counter seating, on stools with no backs. A hostess seats diners but, although the restaurant was full, we were seated within about 5 minutes at lunchtime on a busy day in August.”

“This review is for the dining room for dinner, not the hotel or any other meals. My wife and I live in D.C. and decided to try the Lake Lodge dining room after eating at the Old Faithful Inn and at the eatery up in Canyon. The dinner options at Old Faithful were excellent and the food at Canyon was not even 100% edible. So, on our second night in Canyon, we decided to make a reservation and drove down to the Lake Lodge. We were not disappointed, and the food at the Lake Lodge was actually slightly better than at Old Faithful Inn. I would advise people to pretend the buffet doesn't exist and just steer clear of it. Everything we ordered from the a la carte menu was excellent, fresh, well-seasoned, and perfectly cooked. The bottle of wine we ordered was extremely reasonable and was so good we ordered a few more bottles while we were in the park. Our server was exceptional, friendly, professional, and honestly provided us a better overall experience than we generally get in the big city. He was so well-liked that another 4-top specifically requested to sit in his section while we were there. I can't remember his name, but he was from Nevada.

We ate in 3 of Yellowstone's lodge dining rooms during our visit, and we were also pleased that the menus between them all seemed slightly different, but all had the same excellent quality and service. Perhaps some people ate on off-nights, but given the length of our stay and the various times we visited the dining rooms, I didn't notice any deficiencies. I would eat at any of the Yellowstone historic lodge dining rooms with confidence, but the stuff up at Canyon really is pretty terrible, yet it somehow gets better reviews than this restaurant. I'm hoping this review will go a little ways toward remedying that.”

“Food is what you would expect in a grill. Long line ups but limited food options, so it was to be expected, especially right after Old Faithful goes off. The decor is unique and well taken care of.

Parking: Old Faithful is the main attraction so a high number of the park visitors go there. Expect crowds and waiting lines for washrooms. NPS services the main washroom across from the service station and visitors center

Kid-friendliness: Yes BUT please be mindful of where your walking and obey signage. The signs are there for your protection. They want your experience to be a me.berable one for all the right reasons and not include being air lifted due to an encounter with an animal or going through the thermal crust!!”
