“ Great food, friendly service! We ordered the beef burger and elk burger to go, both came with fries (we just wished they had salted the burgers). Be mindful this isn’t fast food, it is made to order, we waited about 20 min for our food. The outdoor seating was spacious and clean, would be perfect to enjoy a beautiful night. ”
“ The elk burger was perfectly cooked—juicy, flavorful, and one of the best I’ve had. Paired it with a huckleberry honey beer that added the perfect touch of sweetness. The sweet potato fries were crispy and well-seasoned—definitely worth the hype. Great local spot with amazing food, fast service, and a laid-back atmosphere. I’ll absolutely be back for the patio views ”
“ Some of the best food we had on our trip! I recommend the elk burger! Very personable lady who took our order however very little service after? The wait staff never even said a word to most people. I would still say go there but don't waste your money on a tip. ”
“ This was a great find after a long day in Yellowstone for bison, elk, and beef burgers. The burgers were 10/10 and the fries were the best we've had in the west. Service was good and the atmosphere was nice. They had gluten-free buns, which was an added bonus for us. All in all, the best burger joint we've found around Yellowstone so far. ”
“ Both, the bison and elk burgers were amazing. Cooked to a perfect mid-rare. Views are phenomenal. Must visit if you're in the area! ”
“ Winter very limited on seating options. You order at a window then take a seat of eating there. Burgers are huge! Bison was ok the Elk had way better flavor but both seem like they could use some salt or something. Fries were real good as well. Great place for warmer months but we were passing through end of Oct. ”
“ My son daughter-in-law and granddaughter and I stopped after a visit to yellowstone. It was pretty busy, but still we got our food pretty quickly, the burger was exceptional. I actually ordered the child's size burger with fries, it was more than enough. There's a little area where kids can play, and that's where we sat. I have to say that I also use the bathroom and it was exceptionally clean. There were elk and some nearby property as well. ”
“ We got dinner as takeaway from here. The food came as long as it took but it was worth it. In fact every penny was worth the taste of it! We ordered one veggie burger and one chicken burger. Loved both! Also they give you loads of hand cut fries which taste just like homemade. I totally recommend eating here. ”
