Burgers are about it….. and not great ones either.
The view of the lake with 2 bull elk can't be topped. Beer is cold. Food is third on the list. Definitely recommend!!
This is my fourth time eating here, every time we come to Yellowstone this is our togo spot for dinner. The bison burger is the best bison burger I’ve ever had, I get it every time. The Wylie's sauce is awesome and I really like the onion rings and tater tots. Overall great place.
Wylie's Canteen at Lake Lodge provides a unique dining experience with a spectacular view from the dining area. The restaurant's atmosphere is a major draw, featuring outdoor seating that allows guests to enjoy the sunset and the gorgeous view of Yellowstone Lake. The menu offers tasty burgers and fries, along with various options for toppings. The bison burger is the best bison burger one customer has ever had, and the Wylie's sauce is awesome. The onion rings and tater tots are also really liked. The fries topped with chili and cheese are excellent, served on a real plate, enhancing the enjoyable experience. Customers have enjoyed breakfast items like biscuits and gravy, breakfast sandwiches, and glazed donuts, all while taking in amazing views of the lake. Some breakfast visitors found only half the menu available and the food not very good. The soda fountain and milk shakes are decent, providing good options for drinks.
Guests appreciate the convenience of ordering at the kiosk and paying with a credit card, with food ready quickly. The staff are friendly and helpful when selecting food. While the service process can be a bit janky, staff do check in at tables after ordering and bus the tables, which adds a nice touch. The interior has an old-school, classic national park feel, though it could use a good scrub. Parking is available outside the Lodge, though it can be crowded at times. Overall, despite some minor issues with organization and service, Wylie's Canteen remains a decent option for a meal at Lake Lodge, especially for those wanting a good view and a casual atmosphere. Prices are pretty high, as expected in Yellowstone, but the quality and setting make it worthwhile. Notably, there are no reservations required, making it an accessible choice for diners.
