4 Best American Restaurants in Yellowstone National Park

“The people are very nice and clearly work hard. The line moved quickly, the food was hot and mostly good, prices are lower for the area, and it hit the spot. Decor was also nice.
I give 4 stars because the layout of the tables is very crowded and difficult to get in and out (not good for big groups who want to eat inside), there was always a line at the soda fountain, the chicken tenders had some fatty/hard spots, and the elk brat was really tough (hard to bite a piece off).
Overall, it was decent.“

“My wife and I dined here for dinner on our second night at the Old Faithful Inn. The food was different from the Old Faithful Inn dining room, but equally as good, which I appreciated. I would advise people to stay away from buffets when possible inside the park, and try to get to this restaurant before or during an Old Faithful eruption. If you try to go right after, there may be a lot of people doing the exact same thing. The wait for our table was about 30 minutes, but we sat at the bar and had a couple of cocktails before we were seated. The dining menu is not available at the bar for those who are wondering. The game meats were excellent, well-cooked, and well-seasoned. The duck wings were a home run as well. If you're staying in the park, please eat at the dining rooms (Old Faithful Inn, here, and Lake Lodge) - the food is excellent and worth any wait there may be. The fast casual and buffet food in the park is an abomination and I think the reputation of the dining quality is being negatively impacted unnecessarily. The food is either excellent or it is barely food. I don't know why there isn't a middle ground, but that's the way it is. Either way, do not hesitate to eat here if you are staying at Old Faithful for more than 1 night. If you have only 1 night and can make reservations, I would still go to the Old Faithful Inn dining room.“

“This is a functional option within the park, but it can get quite overcrowded during peak times, which affects the overall atmosphere. The food is decent—standard fare, nothing super special, but definitely satisfying enough for a full day of sightseeing. Considering the remote location within the National Park, the prices are reasonable. Expect a necessary, adequate park meal in a very busy, beautiful setting.“

“Nice view of the lake. In low season it's the only dinning option for dinner in Grant village as the lake restaurant Is closed and the fmgeneral store hours are very limited. We made reservations for our first night. Food was ok for inside the park but quite pricey. Second day we tried the breakfast buffet and decided we won't return for breakfast. That night upon returning to the village from a lot of day in the park, we found out the general store was closed so we tried the dining room again only this time we haven't made a reservations and they couldn't accommodate us. They suggested we return an hour later and maybe they will be able to. We decided to go to our room and make do with what we have“
