Great burgers, but be careful when taking out to eat…

Ordered the hamburger with fries. The taste took me back to the cafeteria food I used to eat in high school, when desperate enough. Very disappointing especially considering how much they charge. Too bad McDonald's or Wendy's aren't contracted vendors, as the food would have been WAY better.

Though the staff was very friendly and the service good, the food was terrible considering what you get for their prices. Cheese nachos looked and tasted like cheap doritos with ultra processed cheddar cheese. The burger was dry, the bum cold and the fries tasted like cardboard. Not coming back.

We ate there and it is the best place to eat in Yellowstone, delicious food and excellent service. I recommend this place if you are in

A decent burger and fries, friendly service, fun set up with diner counters. Was good for lunch and not too overpriced (for a national park in the middle of nowhere).

we really enjoyed this spot, the vibe is super cool and the service is fast and friendly. their limited menu is delicious and we loved that they give you sodas in to go cups and are generous with the refills. we all got either the cheeseburger or hamburger combo and were all pleased with it. a little overpriced but thats how it goes in YNP.
Parking: large free parking lot with access to all of the canyon village

I gave four stars because of the value but it was more than on par compared to other Yellowstone food places. The food was good and the service was great. We were there July 1st.

Of the several eateries in Canyon Village, this one looked to have the most interesting menu with fresh cooked to order food (the other main one was buffet style, and the other cafes were mostly just sandwiches, etc.), so I picked it.
I was seated quickly at one of the fountain stools. (Note that all of the seating at this restaurant is shared seating around several long and skinny U-shaped soda fountain counters. The seating is pretty tight, and my neighbors on both sides and I bumped elbows several times.)
Unfortunately, it went downhill from there. I sat for almost 10 minutes without being acknowledged at all by the server responsible for our counter. (Each of the counters has its own dedicated server for the 20 or so patron seated at that counter.) I sat watching the server sit for at least five minutes slowly punching things into the POS terminal—far more than should have been required.
Finally, the server, Josh, approached. He kind of halfheartedly threw menus at me and my neighbors. Several minutes later, he came around to take orders, and he just assumed I was with the people sitting next to me, even though I had sat down at least five minutes before they did.
I ordered a bison burger and asked to hold the pickles, and he just said “everything comes on the side” (I don’t like the vinegar flavor pickles leave on things). I also ordered a root beer float; despite the name, this “soda fountain” doesn’t serve malts or milkshakes.
When the float came, I asked for a straw so that I could actually drink the root beer. All I got was a “we’re not allowed to give out straws.“
The food took about an average amount of time to come out. The people sitting next to me asked for ketchup, and Josh merely gesture at the corral with ketchup without even saying anything.
The ketchup bottle in my corral was empty, but of course it took me probably a good six or seven minutes to get it refilled, because despite having only about 20 people to take care of all seated in a row, I couldn’t get Josh’s attention.
I can put up with bad service if the food is good, but this was actually pretty mediocre food. Everything was flavorless – I never have to add salt to my food, but I had to add quite a bit of salt to the fries just to coax any flavor out of them.
I know people don’t generally go into a national park expecting amazing food from lowest-bidder concessionaires, but this is probably the worst meal I’ve had in a national park — and certainly the worst service. I almost never leave anything below 20% tip, but in this case, I tipped 15% and rounded down, and after I got up, I still felt like I had overtipped him. I get that a huge number of visitors to Yellowstone are from overseas and the servers in the place like this probably get pretty jaded and just don’t give much effort, because they know they’re not going to get much in the way of tips, but still.
In its current state, I wouldn’t recommend eating here. Can’t give any information about other eateries in the park, but this one is skippable unless Delaware North, the concessionaire, can figure out how to fix these problems.

Absolute impudence! The food is cold and doesn't taste good at all. We've never eaten so badly. The price is not justified. The only positive thing was the friendly service.
Be sure to eat outside of Yellowstone or at Yellowstone Lake!!

Four kids all had different combinations of dinner. Two of the kids had diarrhea afterwards. The common factor seemed to be the apple juice. Staff is polite but she would walk by the empty coke cup and not give a refill unless I flag her down after she’s turned around.

Dry meat with minimal flavor. Buy PBJ from general store.

Delicious! Food was amazing. Had to wait about 10 mins for a party of 5 at 12pm. Highly recommend the bison burger and the grilled cheese. Probably one of my top 3 grilled cheeses in the world!! We also enjoyed the pulled pork. Service was incredibly fast! Small dining area, but cute little 50s diner feel. Would DEFINITELY come back
Horrible! 2 children and 2 adults. $70.00 for basic burgers and grilled cheese. We weren’t expecting “great food” but bad food and horrible service , find another place to eat.
Great everything! Thank you!
