The 16 best breakfast and brunch in West Yellowstone

This place was very popular and we had to wait about 20 minutes before we got a table. Once we did, it was very good food. I would definitely get pancakes here all over again. We got the cinnamon bun pancakes and they were absolutely divine. We also got the brisket breakfast burrito, which was just OK. The staff was very warm and friendly. The place was clean and had a nice amount of character to it.

Busy place with excellent food. They have a wait list and with lots of tables, it goes fast. Cordon blue, breakfast burrito, both excellent. the crispy hash browns were the surprise hit, compliments to the cooks for well prepared and plated dishes. They had a selection of espresso drinks that looked good. The fresh baked cinnamon rolls

This is charming restaurant and had a delightful experience. The place boasts an old-fashioned theme that adds a unique and cozy ambiance, making it a perfect spot to unwind. They offer an excellent variety of pancake options, each one delicious and satisfying. Additionally, the omelet selections are top-notch. This is must-visit restaurant !

We had the blueberry pancake and fresh toast. Both were very tasty and I liked that they put the blueberries in the pancake not just as a topping. The pancakes are also larger than we expected, it was tough for 2 people to finish 3 cakes! Very generous size and good price. We also got the hot chocolate with whipped cream and will say it's one of the best we've had.

Service for six, Yaren B. did an excellent job of putting up with us. Just a short wait and we were seated. Service was efficient and polite, our selections were cooked to perfection even tough they were very busy. You want a good breakfast, this is the place.

Everything here was SO good, & the service was attentive & friendly. I had some eggs & cinnamon roll pancakes. Both were delicious, but the cinnamon roll pancakes were ahhhmazing. My hubby had a HUGE stack of 4 pancakes & some bacon. Again, both were delicious & we had to help him finish his pancakes. My daughter had chocolate chip pancakes & my son had eggs, bacon, & toast. I highly recommend Running Bear for breakfast before heading over to the park.

Running Bear is a solid choice for breakfast. The pancakes I had were the most fluffy I've ever had. The hashbrowns were also very good. My wife had the veggie skillet that came with eggs, mushrooms, peppers and tomatoes, which she greatly enjoyed.

We really enjoyed this little coffee shop in West Yellowstone. It was just a short walk from where we were staying, which made it super convenient. We stopped in on a busy Sunday morning, and while it was bustling, there were still plenty of tables to sit and enjoy our food. The coffee was excellent—rich and flavorful—and the breakfast bagels and burritos were just what we needed to start the day. There’s lots of parking right out front, and the location is great for anyone staying nearby. The staff were friendly, and the whole place had a warm, welcoming vibe. Everyone around us seemed to be loving their meals too.

Some of the chocolate beignets didn’t have chocolate. Sandwich that I ordered had 4 ingredients and they missed one ingredient out of 4. I gave 4 for service because the staff were nice and answered every question. They should better their food. I don’t know how they have 4.5 star for this place. Note: first time and Saturday August first week- so busy

We loved Ernie's! They sell boxed lunches which is a brilliant idea. At $15/box it's not cheap but they pack a lot in and aren't skimpy with the toppings so it's a decent value. We had breakfast there on our last day and it was delicious too. They have all kinds of eggs and meat but also fresh pastries.

Stopping in for a quick breakfast before hitting the park and SO GLAD we did. Gravy was delicious and service was wonderful. Quaint little casual cafe dining room, incredible food.

Barely any meat on the Reuben. Disappointing overall. I don’t think onion belongs on a Reuben either. My husband’s Italian sandwich was decent. Not super impressed.

Their sandwiches are out of this world. Everyone we had was just perfect - we went 4 days in a row! The rye bread was some of the best I’ve had. The donuts were also great. We bought a loaf of rye to take home with us it was so good. The staff were efficient and cheerful.

This place is absolutely amazing! Food was great and the customer service was just as amazing. The Montana Haystack may even be my new obsession. We actually came two days in a row, and even cooler that both the guys working remembered all our names by heart (there were 6 of us). Must visit if you’re in West Yellowstone. Lastly, the box lunch deal is great!

I found this cafe on Google maps after looking at a road closure on the 15 in Idaho on my way to Glacier National park. This is the best breakfast I had the entire trip. The girls who run the place are very friendly, easy to talk to, and efficient. Amazing food. The eggs Florentine and potatoes were phenomenal

Cute little café, great for breakfast. The food was tasty and fresh, and the staff were friendly. However, service was quite slow—only 2–3 staff members were working, so it took about 15 minutes each to be seated, get our order taken, and receive our food. If you’re in a hurry, this might not be the best choice. But if you have time to relax, then good

The food was delicious! I love when a breakfast place serves smoothies. The homemade lemon bread French toast was fantastic! It was so unique and delicious. I would have liked to also try the banana bread. The steak and eggs were amazing! The building is small and the wait for the food is longer than average. If you’re not in a hurry it’s very yummy.

Excellent, excellent, excellent!!! The food was insanely good! We had a range of breakfast foods, steak and eggs, breakfast burrito, banana bread French toast, and the crepes. Everything was absolutely delicious and freshly cooked! Staff was very kind and friendly. Great experience overall!! Thank you Chef!

Really cute and completely empty for no apparent reason. We loved the coffee. My husband had a giant omelette that he said was excellent, and the Greek yogurt and blueberries/granola was exactly what I wanted. Great and friendly service. See you next visit!

We ate breakfast there at 20-Sep-25 (Saturday morning) - we stayed 2 nights in the adjacent motel - the Evergreen. It's a small place, with opnly 2 employees. We waited too long till the lady came to us, and it also took a long time to get the food and beverages. 4 people that came after us sat down and when they understood that they won't be served soon - they left the place. I also wanted to leave the place, but my wife asked me to stay. The food was OK, but the high prices are unjustified, so the value for money is low. Their latte is very good, quite expensive. The next day we gave up eating there, and just bought 2 beverages to go.

An amazing little cafe. Great food prepared fresh as you order. Worth the wait. The entire family loved what they ordered. Definitely give them a try!

The coffee served here is Starbucks. It’s a cute store, but they don’t have a bathroom. When I asked, they told me to find one at a nearby gas station or Chamber of Commerce. There’s a decent food selection and take away meals but just ok in taste. My coffee was filled with grounds, which was disappointing.

A decent spot for a quick bite with mixed feelings. We tried a cookie, a chocolate hazelnut croissant, a bison burrito, and two sandwiches. The cookie was good. The croissant, on the other hand, tasted stale and didn’t have much, if any, hazelnut flavor. The bison burrito was okay. The filling was mushy, and the bison was bland, almost like it had been cured or canned. The sandwiches appeared reasonably priced with exception of the turkey and cheese. At $15, it had about six slices of turkey, two slices of cheese, and bread. It didn't look like the photo. Prep time for our food felt longer than necessary.

There was a lot of hype to visit this place. So we stopped and got a breakfast burrito and cinnamon roll to share. The food was great but the service for our visit was off. We got our food as sat outside watching people , many left frustrated with the line and slow process. I’m glad we waited and got our delicious food. It was good but you do need to come with patience

What a great stop for local food and coffee! Wonderful selection of large and unique pastries, delicious (but, not cheap $15) breakfast burritos, drinks, artisan style shopping (jewelry and clothing).

Service is quick and baristas are nice! Theres a drivethrough which is always a plus, inside there is a decent amount of seating however during busy seasons some may consider it limited. The build your own breakfast sandwich is a lifesaver if you have anyone who is picky in your crew :)

This place didnt meet my expectations. The hot coffee was self serve, and it wasnt the freshest. The Huckleberry scone was okay. Red bull drink was unique and really good. I was looking for a cute coffee shop to sit in, but this was not the place. They also have a cute merchandise and ready made food (just needs heated)

Stopped in for some pastries for the early morning and some boxed lunches to go and it was amazing!!! The food was fresh and very filling. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Will definitely be coming back in the near future 🥰

Food was absurdly good, best I have ever eaten. Service was great, everyone was super nice and frequently checked on us to make sure all was good. And the atmosphere was very calm, the interior design is fairly simple but well decorated and there wasn’t loud music being blasted or anything like that. Not cheap but well worth the price.

Delightful restaurant & excellent serviceby all the staff. Delicious dinner of prime rib & 3 bears meatloaf, with very plentiful portions. Very good salads & dressings plus bread rolls. And a Cold Smoke ale to top.dinner off.

Absolutely loved our dining experience at this restaurant! The menu offers a fantastic variety, and every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The food was not only delicious but clearly made with care and creativity—hats off to the amazing chef David! The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly, which made the entire evening feel relaxed and welcoming. From start to finish, everything was top-notch. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a memorable meal and exceptional service. Thank you for a wonderful experience—we’ll definitely be back!

Holy cow! This is my new favourite place to eat in West Yellowstone. The food was phenomenal! I had a cedar salmon with huckleberry and my partner had bison pasta. It was so delicious! Big portions too! We were served by Rod (I think that was his name) and he was super friendly. He was very at ease, great recommendations, naturally easy to talk to and ask questions about us. It was such a great experience. We will absolutely be back when we are there again 🥰

Just outside west park entrance along "restaurant row". Food was good. I had the broasted chicken ($26) which had four smallish pieces of chicken in a wonderful buttermilk batter crust. My son had the bison burger ($22) and my wife had a bison and elk skewer appetizer and brie appetizer for her meal. Adventure food.

The food was VERY bland and flavorless. The seafood scampi was watery and the noodles were over cooked and tasted like they had been left in a warmer. The seafood portions were nice though. The trout was also flavorless and needed salt. The asparagus tasted like it hasn’t been seasoned at all. The It’s not worth it for the price you pay. We did get the hummus platter and that was pretty good. The service was good and drinks were always topped off.

The portions are huge! Nice atmosphere. Great food. The bison burger was delicious! A little pricey, but the do give you generous portions.

Pretty good pizza and their dough was well made. The crust was soft and chewy which I'm a big fan of. The place was busy so be prepared to wait if you're going to dine in. I got 3 pizzas to go and they were all good.

Our first time trying Pete it wasn’t bad. It wasn’t the best but still pretty good. My husband got the incredible combo. It was really good. I got the shrimp fettuccine. It was OK.

Great local Italian restaurant located West Yellowstone Park. We had Pizza, Spaghetti, and Lasagna..all were delicious. Our server was very courteous and attentive....definitely revisit this establishment when we are near.

It’s always a good sign when you see people lined up for a restaurant. After a long day in the park, I ordered spaghetti and meatballs. The dinner came with a crispy salad and crunchy garlic bread. As I walked into the restaurant, the Italian scent greeted me and I saw several yummy looking pizzas. I grabbed my meal to go and enjoyed it in my cabin. I recommend Pete’s Pizza!

Such amazing non alcoholic beverages! I had the very beary soda it was so tasty! We had pizza and pasta and ended up ordering an extra pizza because it was so tasty! Our server was soo attentive and one step ahead at all times. It was clean and charming!! Can’t recommend it enough just wish they had dessert.

The garlic bread was really good—the bread was freshly baked. The vegetarian fettuccine alfredo with vegetables was okayish, though. I felt the price was a bit expensive for the taste.

A good place to eat in West Yellowstone. The pizzas are tasty and good-sized. The pasta is also very good. The waitresses are very attentive. Highly recommended.

Old Town Cafe was the perfect first stop after a long day on the road. The food was fantastic (highly recommend the bruschetta.). The drinks hit the spot, and the service was incredibly welcoming and kind. One thing I really appreciated was how dog-friendly they were. My golden retriever, Whiskey was welcomed. Great atmosphere, great people, and great food. Definitely a must-stop if you're in West Yellowstone.

Stopped in for lunch. Quick service. We both got the Old Town Philly, mine without the peppers because I'm not a big pepper fan. Yeah, I know..boo! However, my husband's Philly had peppers and they were cubed, so I probably would've eaten it as is. Was expecting tough, chewy meat, maybe some bits of fat. Nope! The steak was cubed as well and it was seasoned just right. Wish I knew what they used because it was delicious. Fries were also good. If we had more time in West Yellowstone, we would come back.

Ordered chicken tenders and a chicken sandwich, they have taken our customized order for sandwich and it was yumm! Have got fries as well along with our servings, their secret sauce is a must try. Good ambience and staff were friendly.

In my opinion. $32 for amazing 👏 5🌟 prime rib with the 2 sides I got. And my son's burger for $14. Best deal and quality in town. A definitely go to place. And get the prime rib.

Had dinner here. One of the more popular restaurant. Place was packed. Order elk medallion and fish & chips. Food was ok - no real wow factor. First they got the salad wrong and it was hard to get the server. Many people hanging out behind the wall at the kitchen instead of standing on the main floor. Many had their eyes down and not observing patrons. Was hard to get their attention.

We waited way too long to eat and decided this was the place in front of us and that was that. Three other meals in town had been fried-diner-style-heavy. We needed a change. Our server, Jess, was amazing and had no problem getting our order to us surprisingly fast. We had the Corn Chowder with side salads and my wife added a side of mashed potatoes and gravy. It was fresh and fantastic! We did regret not ordering the waffle fries when we saw them. We will be back.

Pretty basic food but it's tasty and it arrives very fast! The waitress was very nice and the place was not too busy. The huckleberry pancakes were very good! You can choose between 2 or 4 pancakes. Would definitely recommend this.

One of the loveliest, quiet, and spacious cafes in town that is located inside the bookstore. Seating: There are five tables along with five seats along the wall (with access to outlets). If you want to work, ask the staff for the wifi. Coffee: Good coffee with dairy free milk options for $1.50 extra: almond, coconut, soy, oat You CAN bring in your reusable mug as along as the mug is CLEAN. Food: Their grill is open til 1:30pm daily. Baked goods throughout the day with day-old options at half price. The breakfast burritos are large, as in you could split one between two adults and your belly will be satisfied.

This charming establishment I came across is a real hidden gem—a bookstore and cafe with a distinct charm. Their store boasts an array of adorable items and a wide selection of Yellowstone-themed products. I didn't have any particular expectations when I entered, primarily drawn by my hunger during my journey to the park. However, I was pleasantly surprised by what I found. The cafe's menu offered decent options for vegetarians, and I opted for a spinach, tomato, and cheese sandwich. The staff was exceptionally friendly, and my order arrived promptly. The sandwich turned out to be incredibly delicious, leaving me thoroughly satisfied. I can confidently say that I'll make it a point to stop by this place whenever I'm in the area. I highly recommend it for both the cafe and the store; it's a truly unique and enjoyable experience.

Delicious breakfast and coffee. Ordered a day old orange marmalade scone that was absolutely scrumptious. Highly recommend this lovely little local spot that also has cute gifts and great book selection. ☺️

Fun coffee shop and book store. Love the decor! Mocha and Chai Latte were great.

Stopped by for a quick bite and a coffee. Place was busy, but not overly so. Staff was friendly, but did question if we were customers when we asked about the restroom facilities. Sandwich and coffee were both delicious. Browsed while we were waiting and the store is well-appointed and adorable. Sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful weather while we ate.

Great little boutique/coffee shop to stop into! Coffee was solid and had a great selection. Didn’t have a vegan option which is my own gripe. I will say that any additions are expensive. +1.25$ just for flavor is a bit much. But I understand bc you’re getting the tourists so live laugh love. But didn’t expect to pay 10$ per coffee when it was marked at ~6$

Absolutely beautiful cafe, book store and gift shop. We visited here for a late breakfast, and they served breakfast until the afternoon which is great! Lots of breakfast and burrito options for breakfast. Coffees were great also! The store and Cafe combined into the one store makes for a beautiful atmosphere. I highly recommend visiting!

I got a bagel & an iced huckleberry coffee. The bagel was super chewy, tasted more like it had been steamed than toasted, for $9.50 it’s not really what I had hoped for. I know you’re paying “Yellowstone tax” but I’m sure there are better options… McDonald’s would’ve even been better. The coffee was just awful, I ended up throwing it away... Overall it wasn’t a great stop.

This review is just based on the experience, we didn’t get to try anything. We arrived & tried to order 2 vanilla frappes which are on the menu, the lady told us she couldn’t make frappes or anything blended so i decided to not order anything else, my husband asked if he could order a vanilla ice coffee & she said like a latte, we honestly never tried a latte before so she explained what it was which my husband decided not to order it because he doesn’t like strong coffee. We told her never mind thank you though & she made a face & looked mad because we didn’t order anything. Like you can’t get mad at customers for not wanting anything! What we wanted she couldn’t make. I just didn’t like her attitude at the end. We were very polite so no need for attitude!

BEST ICE CREAM and it’s SO cheap. $7 you get 3 of the biggest, fattest scoops and it’s delicious. Only food place here that doesn’t bleed you dry

A friend told me they had really good ice cream cones. We drove 30 minutes one way to try them only for the server lady to tell us that the ice cream was too hard that she couldn't scoop it. She wouldn't even try. Will n ot be returning.

Highly recommending this cafe, the service is very prompt and good. Most importantly, the price of ice cream is reasonable priced and tasted so good! Especially the local huckleberry ice cream shouldn’t be missed. The bagel is also tasty too. We enjoyed our tea break here. Would love to visit again. 😃👍🏻

I had the huckleberry ice cream back in 2006/2007 and came back this year in 2025. Has real frozen huckleberries and very reasonable prices.

Everything was great! We went back every day and tried almost every coffee - they were all delicious. The huckleberry cheesecake ice cream is insane. Service is amazing too. Absolutely recommend!

A must stop in West Yellowstone. Best waffle I've ever had. -Recommendation: try the Yogi wafle; has strawberries, banana, pecan, powdered sugar, whip cream on the side. Pro tip: ask for a side of local Huckleberry Jam. ❤️❤️ -Excellent service too -Park across the street at the public park. -Its attached to gas and convenience store so you can load up in one stop.

I am a pure vegetarian. This is a small place in a convenience store. The food was good but their shakes are amazingggg. We tried: 1. Veggie sandwich - it was good. 4/5 2. Grilled cheese - this was okay 3/5 3. Veggie wrap - this was also good 4/5 4. Huckleberry cheese shake - this was amazing 5/5 5. Oreo shake - 4.5/5 6.Oreo kitkat shake - I loved this one. 5/5 7. Yogi's waffle - combination of bnana, strawberry and Nutella, the best. 100/5 The place is small and we went in the morning, there was only one person working, so things were a bit delayed but she was doing her best. You can order it in advance through their website if you pick it up. Overall, loved the place.

Stopped for dinner and scored an excellent burger! It was delicious and the fries were crispy. And the best part, it was a decent price compared to some of the other tourist traps.

The burgers are delicious, The swirling ice creams are fantastic as it has many choices of flavors 👍👍👍

We ordered a cake here for my little one’s birthday celebration while we were on a vacation to Yellowstone and It tasted amazing! 😋 First of all, since we traveled from San Diego, we were not sure if we could get such great place to order customized cakes. To our surprise, we were amazed my their response and service. Oleksandra was very responsive and a great cake artist 🧑‍🎨 Highly recommend this place if you are looking for place to order customized cakes in West Yellowstone 😋🫶

This was my first visit to this establishment. It was around 7pm on a week day. It appeared there was only 1 person working, taking orders and cooking. The wait time was a little long but understandable. I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich. I expected a chicken breast but instead received diced chicken. Kind of disappointing but the food tasted fine.

We visited Yogi's multiple times on our trip to Yellowstone. You're in for a delight if you're vegetarian or eggeterian like us. Andre who is the owner of this restaurant was himself serving us and he is exceptional! He thrives on providing the best experience for his customers. He’s so polite, we really loved talking to him. We ordered 3 items - Veggie sandwich, sourdough egg sandwich and waffle veggie sandwich. They have fro-yo, we could not order it, but it will be wonderful I am sure. We both loved veggie sandwich and the sourdough egg sandwich and the salad. Waffle sandwich is a unique experience, toppings are very similar to the veggie sandwich, but the waffle dough is just a bit on the sweeter side. Though my partner still enjoyed it very much. Ambience is very casual/open/friendly and restaurant is well maintained and clean. PS: please order French fries on side (better than McDonald's)

The food is always delicious, and it’s owned by a nice family of West Yellowstone. Good soup and salad bar!

Came in for dinner two times. Large salad bar with several choices and two soups. The service was great. Sam, my server was wonderful. Always checking to make sure my drink was full and food was good. The food was delicious, hot, and mine came out quickly! A person could get plenty full just eating one trip to the salad bar. I had the hot roast beef dinner, which wasn't too bad. Just off the street, lots of shops and a candy store as you leave and enter. I went to dinner later and had to wait about 10 minutes or so. All of the tourists are coming back from the park. Good place to eat. I highly recommend you. You won't go wrong. Update 07/22/2025 Back again for great food. What's nice about this place is that it is a family owned restaurant and has homemade soups daily. The salad bar is always stocked, and there are plenty of choices to choose from so you won't go hungry. The menu is quite large and the servings are good size.

It was a wonderful experience. My aunt and I had a lovely lunch. They sat us at an accessible table to accommodate my electric wheelchair. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

Avoid this place if you want to eat a LOCAL food. We ordered Mountain Rocky Trout expecting a river trout. They serve a trout from Pacific ocean that tastes like a salmon. We are family of FIVE but they counted us as 6 and automatically added 20% gratitude. I’d probably give the same but I don’t like they way they did it. Griddy.

Food isn’t bad but we ordered trout and got Salmon. We were starving but the options of salads on the salad bar is nice.

I came in around 3 on a Saturday to my surprise it wasn't busy. We were seated quickly, our server was pleasant and very helpful. They had all the comfort heart warming foods on the menu. I wanted to try the bison burger but went with the outpost burger since the server mentioned that bison is a little more dry. I switched my fries for onion rings and was shocked at the size of the burger. Each patty was already thick to begin with and two of then was definitely a mouth full but that thick cut bacon was just perfect... I probably only ate about half but my kids enjoyed trying to take a full bite at it. I can barely open wide enough to grab a bite. The country fried steak was fabulous the green beans weren't soggy still crunchy.

Perhaps we experienced an off night since it was the last night beige closing for the season. But the salad was not fresh with red and wilted pieces. The spaghetti was good. We weren't offered any drinks other than water.

The positives: nice ambiance, friendly service The negatives: the food was not very good at all. I had the Angel Baby Sandwich, & it was just ok. I ordered a side salad & asked for it to come out before my meal, but it came out after our meal. The salad was decent, but it was obviously made earlier in the day, so not sure why someone couldn’t just run back to the kitchen & grab it. My husband ordered a burger that he said was not good. He said it tasted like it was previously cooked & then microwaved. He did say the tater tots were good. My daughter had the grilled chicken sandwich and very cold fries. The service was SO Slow, & they weren’t very busy. We all wanted dessert, but after our dinner took so long to come out, we left & got ice cream somewhere else. There are so many good places to eat in West Yellowstone, I would save yourself some time and go somewhere else. Canyon Street Grill was pretty bad. The friendly staff & cute decor is the only reason I give 2 stars instead of one star.

My friend and I were looking for a place to eat in West Yellowstone and we saw this place and it was very eye catching. The place has a cool aesthetic to it and was very visually pleasing. The food was great too! We had the Route 66 chili cheese fries and they were so yummy, highly recommend!

Had a lovely dinner here. Our server Erik was friendly, great service and nice food. We had a burger and loaded potato to share between 2 which was more than enough - the potato was HUGE.

I had a fantastic experience at the Canyon Street Grill! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was just as impressive. If you're in West Yellowstone, I highly recommend stopping by. It's a great spot to enjoy a tasty meal.

The atmosphere was fun with the 50s music and decor. The food was delicious; especially the sweet potato fries (ask for them because they’re not on the menu yet). The best part was our server Eric who was charming, helpful and accommodating. He even offered to help us take our picture we wanted to take with the fun decor. #ericisthebest

Stopped in for lunch on Labor Day. Wasn't expecting much in a tourist town, but wow, we had a great meal. Burgers were very tasty and xsme with everything you'd want to put on your burger. Very nice, old-fashioned service and food! Mack was friendly, knew the menu well, and accurately described them He is skilled in offering add ons and followed up on his customers and tables continually. It's super hard to experience good ( and seasonal) young employees anymore. If he hadn't been going to college in the fall, he'd make bank in an upscale dinner venue until he knew what he wanted to do in life 😊

We made a quick stop for a small snack. First impression of the old school dinner with all the decor told me everything I needed to know. The food came out very quick which I was impressed with. We tried various things off the menu and everything tasted very well. If you love root beer floats like me I highly recommend getting one here. Will definitely be back when I come to revisit.

**A Wonderful Experience at a Well-Maintained McDonald’s – Special Thanks to Fern!** I don’t usually write reviews, but this visit truly deserves recognition. This McDonald’s location is not only conveniently situated, but also impressively clean, well-organized, and welcoming. It’s clear that the staff take pride in maintaining a high standard—and it made a noticeable difference in our overall experience. What truly stood out, though, was the exceptional service we received from *Fern*, one of the counter executives. From the moment we stepped in, Fern greeted us with genuine warmth and attentiveness. Her kindness wasn't just surface-level—it was evident in every interaction, especially when helping us make breakfast choices that aligned with specific dietary needs. As someone managing pre-diabetes, navigating fast food menus can be tricky. Fern went above and beyond to walk us through the available options, explaining nutritional content, calories, and ingredients with clarity and patience. She didn’t just offer suggestions—she ensured we felt informed, comfortable, and cared for. Because of her thoughtful assistance, we were able to enjoy a satisfying breakfast without compromising our health goals. It’s rare to find service this personal and compassionate in a fast-paced environment like McDonald’s. Fern, thank you for your outstanding support and for serving with such heart. People like you truly elevate the experience—and remind us why customer service matters so much. **If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend this location. And if you're lucky enough to be helped by Fern, you're in excellent hands.** Keep shining, Fern!

One of the best McDonald's experiences I had in a long time. Everything was hot, crispy, and fresh. The workers were also very nice and helpful!

Food is fresh and the staff is very attentive. Service is also extremely efficient. However, if you want to eat in for dinner, be prepared to deal with large groups of insufferable and rude foreign tourists who think they own everything, including the right to your seats and table even when you are not finished eating. You are better off getting take out and eating elsewhere.

HORRIBLE FOOD!! I got a chicken sandwich combo and my chicken was the worse thing I've ever put in my mouth!! It was tough and had a rubber feel. I can't believe I actually paid for this crap!! After one bite I wanted to throw up!!!!! I couldn't eat it!! Not sure why anyone eats at McDonald's if this is the food they serve.

This has got to be the smallest McDonald's I have ever been in and I don't understand how you have a McDonald's this small in West Yellowstone? I was there at off-season and I cannot imagine what it must be like at peak. It literally must be a madhouse at breakfast time. As there's probably 10 to 15 seats, at best. I would expect a franchise as large as McDonald's to spend a little bit more for a comfortable dining area for people. Everything else was just fine. That's why I am only knocking off points for the uncomfortable atmosphere.

This is one of the best McDonald's I've ever been to. I ate here a few times during my Yellowstone adventures. The service was always good, and the food was served fresh and delicious.

After a long day in Yellowstone for a family of 11 we didn't want to wait to eat at any restaurants around during dinner time so we did a huge mobile order and it came out as quick as expected but surprisingly it was correct and that doesn't happen sometimes with small orders. 5 ⭐ s for speed and accuracy.

Dependable GF options for Celiac. 5 star culinary to boot! Only 4 stars for atmosphere because I miss the airport location.

This is one of my favorite places in West Yellowstone! The lobster rolls are served with a healthy amount of lobster and are absolutely delicious. We’ve tried several things on the menu and all of them are EXCELLENT. I definitely recommend going here!

Some of the best food I’ve had in a while. The GF chicken fingers were really crispy and the portions were large, so you definitely won’t leave hungry. It can be really hard traveling with celiac but I will definitely be coming back. Food and service were both amazing! Great owners who obviously care about their food and customers.

Most excellent experience! Great food as evidenced in the pic of my lobster roll on a GF bun (have regular roll as well). Philly cheesesteak was legit. Definitely drop by, you’ll be glad you did!

This place is amazing. We ordered take out and I had the best bison burger I have ever had. They even had a large gluten free selection for my girlfriend. The fries are also amazing. This little cafe is the best place to grab a bite in west Yellowstone before heading into the park.

Smoke Jumper Cafe is totally worth looking for! The food was delicious! I highly recommend stopping here! My sister tried the lobster, I had a burger! My favorite place in West Yellowstone! The chef takes his time cooking it to perfection!

Nothing could be better than a Tall Lobster Bisque soup 🍲 and garlic toast on a rainy day! Hot, Thick, Creamy, with generous amounts of Lobster, and really flavorful! I will definitely order again. Hubby got the Perfection Cheese Burger 🍔 Lots of meat cooked perfectly! Your choice of cheese. All veggies on the side so you can customize. The fries are beyond good! They taste great dipped on my soup! 😀 Thank you Smoke Jumper! Glad we found you! 👍

SLOOOOW SERVICE EXCELLENT COFFEE I dropped by to pick up some coffee for my wife and I before heading into the Yellowstone National Park. There were two cars on each side and a few persons by the front window. I waited about 12-14 minutes before the vehicles in front of me got their coffee. And then I waited another 15’ish minutes to get my own coffee. I believe the shop is clearly under-staffed to handle 2 drive through windows. But the servers were kind, and the coffee was really good.

Driving up The lady was so sweet and explained the drinks for us even though there was a long line, burrito was a good size to share, coffee was around $6ish for a medium latte so not too bad, double drive through as well which helped, and on the Main Street heading into the west entrance of Yellowstone

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 If you’re a chai tea or frappe lover—run to this coffee shop! Their chai is hands-down the most flavorful I’ve ever had: perfectly spiced, smooth, and just the right amount of sweetness. And don’t even get me started on the frappe—it’s creamy, bold, and absolutely addictive. You can tell they use quality ingredients and put love into every cup. Cozy atmosphere, friendly baristas, and drinks that are worth every sip. This place is a gem!

I walked to Go-Go Espresso each morning during our stay at Grizzly RV Park and was never disappointed. The Nutty Norris Geyser quickly became my go-to — great flavor and just the right kick to start the day. Service was consistently quick and friendly, and prices were very reasonable. It’s also dog-friendly, which was a nice bonus — they even had treats ready for our pup. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in West Yellowstone.

Great service and thank god a place is open with caffeine! Gawd I feel like nobody drinks espresso locally. lol

Best coffee spot in West. The "coffee lady" as our family chose to name her shared wit, kindness and local info with us each morning that we visited her. We would have on Tuesday as well but they are closed on Tuesdays. My youngest loves the Huckleberry Lemonade while the rest of us enjoyed various types of Vanilla lattes. Make this a must if coffee is a thing for you.

Cute little drive-through coffee shop with the best coffee in town! The staff are super friendly and welcoming. Loved my coffee — perfectly strong with a rich, bold flavor that really wakes you up. Highly recommend for a quick and satisfying caffeine fix

This is a cute ice cream shop with super friendly staff. I was not super impressed with the ice cream, but it was good. The most annoying thing was the plastic spoons are so flimsy, we all struggled to scoop into our ice cream cups. The spoon would literally just bend in half. Anyway, I had the huckleberry with fudge, & it was decent. The fudge was a nice touch, but the flavor didn’t blow me away. I’ve heard the waffles are fantastic - maybe I’ll try that next time.

Cozy vibes, amazing coffee, and honestly the most delicious ice cream I’ve had in a long time! The flavors are rich, the portions are generous, and you can just feel the love in everything they serve. Perfect spot to slow down, enjoy the moment, and treat yourself. Definitely coming back!

Came here for a small dessert after spending the day in Yellowstone. They have about 16 different flavors of ice cream that can be served in a cup, cone, bubble waffle, milkshake, or malt. They also have crepes and paninis for small bites. Lastly, they serve a variety of hot or cold coffees and teas. Ordered 2 scoops of ice cream to try different flavors of Moose Tracks and Peanut Butter Cup, but the serving was massive. Ice cream was very smooth, creamy, and flavorful.

Amazing crepes and waffles with friendly service!!! We stopped for a coffee, then saw a waffle, so we ordered a breakfast waffle and a crepe. So so delicious! Crepes are made from scratch and a secret recipe. Fun! We will be back! We were too late for the picture, everything was eaten already 🤣

Very nice local ice cream place. I tried the brownie waffle and enjoyed it thoroughly. It tasted very good and the place had nice homemade flavors. Everyone we went with enjoyed. Nice local place to try in West Yellowstone.

Had Americano and vegetarian sandwich. Coffee was better than Bake Shop Americano. Sandwich was tasty. The lady was full of smiles and was very friendly. It was the perfect start of the day thanks to her 🙏🏻

Omg this was an unexpected delight. Dont let the price of their crepes fool you. Its all truly homemade and the portion size is insane. A single crepe was more than enough for me and my wife. Got the crepe with Huckleberry sauce and cheese cake and was in heaven. Thank God we were just visiting, my waistline couldnt handle being around here all year. I will intentionally go out of my way to pass by here and eat again.
