This is the main lodge, with the front desk, complimentary coffee/tea station, complimentary s'mores station, and a few rooms!
Kendall D.

It doesn't seem to be listed clearly here, but Bar N Ranch is BOTH a restaurant and a lodge with cabins you can stay in! My family recently experienced both and I highly recommend both to anyone visiting Montana or traveling to see Yellowstone National Park. We stayed in a cabin for a week and enjoyed breakfasts and dinners many days at the restaurant. In regard to the restaurant, both breakfast and dinner served up delicious food with a good variety of options and local fare. My family particularly enjoyed their bolognese, salads, and burgers -- and we tried basically all of their appetizers and desserts at some point which were all beautiful and delicious! I landed on one particular dinner cocktail (setting up camp) because it was just that good, and they have mimosas available at breakfast time. The ambiance is beautiful, comfortable and has an upscale rustic lodge feel! In regard to the lodge and cabins, we had such a wonderful experience of these spaces! The accommodations were wonderful, and the GM and employees were absolutely lovely and helpful people! There are so many little details they attend to: 1. a quality complimentary beverage station available throughout the day with ice water, cider, hot cocoa, coffee and teas 2. Recommendations and help with setting up local outings like fly fishing, water rafting, horseback riding, etc. 3. Complimentary s'mores that you can roast at any of their many fire pits that they light every evening on property. The location is also perfect, just outside of the West Gate of Yellowstone and a day trip away from places like Jackson Hole, WY! Another plus is that they have rooms and cabins of different sizes, so very easy to find accommodations that fit for your family or travel group! We are excited to return to Bar N Ranch again in the future and I highly recommend it to anyone else below are just a few of the beautiful sights of the space!

Caesar salad and views
Ashley B.

Shout out to SK at the bar for being phenomenal! Their service is out of this world. You would think you were talking to a friend. The atmosphere is so pretty! The taxidermy is tasteful and very in the theme. The menu is so beautiful. No I didn't have time to eat inside. I took a Caesar salad with grilled chicken to go. The Caesar salad has lemon and sun-dried tomatoes. The flavor of this Caesar salad Hass to be some of the best that I've ever had. I cannot wait to go back! What a great restaurant to have on property, the Bar N Ranch and Under Canvas

The food is decent for the price but I'm going to talk about the way the food is served and the use of metal trays and what they consider to be environmentally friendly. I'm considering all the restrictions due to Covid-19 so I'm not going to get into details. All the food is served on a metal tray lined with brown paper. This makes no sense, especially when you're trying to cut up meat. The brown paper soaks into the food and even sticks to the food when you're scooping it up to eat. If you're not paying attention, you'll be eating the brown paper as well. Secondly, they use 100% recycled utensils and cups and make known they're proud to do so to help the environment. But, when asked if they recycle the recycled items, which are 100% recyclable, they said no. Try cutting up Elk using a plastic knife. It ain't easy! Food is good. Just don't get caught up in their environmentally friendly marketing.

Bison burger and beet salad
Jiaxin G.

We came here for dinner because we were staying in under the canvas. The restaurant looked super cool because of all the mounted animals inside. It wasn't busy but there's couple people waiting in front of us. The hosts asked us if we had reservation when we approached. We didn't have reservation but the host went ahead to arrange the table for us. We sat on the big table next to the bar and had a nice view of the outside. Our waiter was a guy whose name I didn't remember. He's gotten another server behind him. I think he's showing that person how to take orders or what not. He's nice when he took out drink orders. However, he was kinda rude when he took our food orders. First, he insisted we order in clockwise direction. Maybe that's easier for him to keep track but it didn't come out of his mouth nicely. Second, my sister asked him if the kale salad come uncooked or sauteed. He's like dud it's a salad. I am sure I have had sauteed kale salad in other restaurant! In fact, I think sauteed kale salad tastes better. She ended up getting the beet salad. Anyway, the bison burger was ok. It tasted just like beef though.The pork chop ($29) was very tender. It's highlight of the night. The elk tenderloin ($39) was good. Food was good overall. Waiter could be nicer though. The second time I was there for the $14 breakfast buffet. It's consisted of scramble eggs, pancakes, sausages, bacon, potatoes, milk, apple juice and such. The waitress we got was very nice this time. We got there around 10 but food was running out. I could only get some pancakes on my first round. I saw the chef coming out refilling the pancakes but he's also surprised that food ran out so fast. I saw some people taking Togo box of food. I am not sure how that work since it's buffet style. But that's definitely part of the reason why food run out quickly. We waited for a while but I didn't get to eat scramble eggs. We sat near the front door while food were served on the other side. So food ran out before I walked to the food station. Anyway, pancakes were very good.

Mushroom au gratin
Julia R.

While staying at the Bar N Ranch, I decided to try the restaurant. It was slated to be a fine dining establishment where reservations would be necessary. When I arrived, it was so early that there weren't many people dining there. I sat at the bar and ordered Sparkling Rosé. The bartender was outstanding with great recommendations. For an appetizer, I tried the mushroom au gratin. The mushrooms were cooked well, and were delicious with the fresh bread. For dinner, I had the salmon that was on top of a beet purée and hummus purée. It was delicious! Because I was on vacation, I then had dessert. I tried the strawberry toaster pastries. They were very disappointing. The presentation was gorgeous, but frozen strawberries were used so it made the puff pastry soggy, and some of the berries were still cold. Overall, I would say the food was good. I wouldn't say it ranks with some of the other places that I visited while in that area. I was disappointed also that it seemed some employees were stressed out and annoyed when there weren't many customers in the place! The other shocker was that "steak-frites" was not available on a Friday night! I understand running out of things being far out, but it seems that a main dish like that should always be available! I have to go 3 stars, though the bartender would get 5!!

Rack of elk with Idaho potatoes with truffles  and roasted veggies. So flavorful
Alyssa C.

This place was amazing. Our favorite hidden gem 1/4-1/2 mile off the highway tucked in a farm. Everything was fantastic, very friendly staff, great food. I got the rack of elk and my fiancé got the bison burger. We also had roasted balsamic and honey Brussel sprouts and goat cheese with honey to die for. They also will give you free smores for desert to bring outside to the cozy fire pits they have outside. You have to try this place! If we ever go back to Yellowstone we will be returning to eat and hopefully stay at the Under Canvas luxury tent experience.

Bar N Ranch interior with taxidermied animals
Darian E.

Bar N Ranch is a lucky find for any road-weary traveler fresh out of a day of hiking at Yellowstone. Located a 10 minute drive west of West Yellowstone, Bar and Ranch is associated with a nearby lodge and ranch, complete with horses, cattle, and spectacular views of the surrounding mountainside and forest. Any visitor will be first struck by the spectacular ambiance of the place, complete with a collection of taxidermied animals, fireplaces, wine cellar, and grand pine tables and chairs. The perimeter of the restaurant is lined with windows so you can take in the landscape. Ambiance: 5/5 A mild criticism of the service. While the hostess was friendly and the food prompt to arrive (5 minutes for appetizers and 15 more for steak) the waitress was a bit harried and seemed overworked. Service: 4/5 The appetizer on my visit, a roasted red pepper soup made with Gouda cheese was the highlight of the visit. It was paired with an asiago cheese bread and butter that further complemented it. Appetizers: 5/5 As a steakhouse, I finished my meal with a 10oz NY Strip with blue cheese topping. The steak was juicy and tender, but not particularly phenomenal. Good, but not the exceptional quality I'd hope for for a steakhouse. The $33 price tag for all of the above is reasonable, however, and is a welcome relief for the city-dwelling steak lover. Steak: 4/5 Value: 5/5 Overall, Bar N Ranch shines for its ambiance, appetizers, and otherwise quality fare for the tourist town that is West Yellowstone. Excellent for families, I recommend it. Overall: 4.5/5

Melon salad
Carolyn B.

We ate here two nights in a row during our stay at Under Canvas. It definitely has more of a ski lodge dining room feel on the inside but the food is great. All of our meals were high quality and well seasoned. I had trout the first night with melon salad and bison burger the second night w ratatouille appetizer. Both meals were great. For now, you order at the hostess desk and then the food is brought to your tables. Each diner gets their own tray and plastic utensils. Water is self serve.

The wife's wings for being naked and not sauced were well seasoned and a good size for the price, recommend a side of fries or SP fries for only $3. Service was quick, we sat in less than 5 minutes with no reservation. Atmosphere was exactly what you would expect for a bar with sports and video poker, overall 8.5/10 after a long day, they need to keep their menus updated when they remove seasonal beers for a 9/10 or rounded 5 stars.

Mid-scale to up-scale dining. Excellent steak!…read more Three Bear Restaurant at the Lodge was a nice mid-scale to up-scale dining experience. The decor is modern rustic. We felt welcome and well-treated. The menu had some very nice offerings. From their cocktails, we enjoyed a couple of Montana Bucks, a bright sort-of-mule recipe made with smooth Sudden Wisdom Rye, lightly-sweet huckleberry purée, zingy ginger beer, and a dash of tart lime juice. And a huge, double-size Mammoth Manhattan, of nicely-flavored Wyoming Outryder Rye, deep flavors of both sweet & dry vermouth, bitey house-made bitters, and a rich Luxardo cherry. Both were yummy and well-crafted. The best beverage option: A flight of rye whiskies gave us local brands to compare with upscale brands. It was a good range of flavors, and we caught some nice local spirits. One-half ounce each of Michter's Single Barrel, Middle West Dark Pumpernickel, Willett 4 Year, and Wyoming Outryder The winners was Michter's, smooth with intense rye and some fire. Outryder caught our interest more than the other two. This leads us to a "flight" theory: We liked the local spirit that they also use in their craft cocktails! The New Zealand mussels were plump and fresh and well-dressed with grape tomatoes, scallions, wine and lemon. Jerk shrimp had flavorful heat. The Pear & Prosciutto Salad has lovely sweet fruit with thin but bold tender ham. Caesar with added salmon was classic, bright, and fresh. Bison Bourguignon was geneous al-dente pasta with tender sauced meat. The large-grain Cous Cous was rich with sun-dried tomatoes, tangy Kalamata olives, and roasted veggies. The best main dish: The $50 bison ribeye was tender, juicy, and perfectly medium-rare. It was flavorful, with a slightly more caramel note than a beef ribeye. This was one of the two best steaks we had in West Yellowstone. Everything was quite delicious! The restaurant was quiet and pretty.

The food is good - BUT - this place is kind of a hot mess…read more We came for breakfast on a Sunday. They were out of a lot of things. Also - if you drink coffee - the espresso machine was broken. My husband wanted a biscuit breakfast sandwich with sausage - they were out of biscuits. So I got him a bagel breakfast sandwich with sausage instead. I ordered sausage links for my baby, I asked if they had any kind of fruit I could buy for my baby. They said no that they only had bananas for smoothies - which is odd being a place that sells fruit smoothies... For myself I ordered a croissant sausage breakfast sandwich and a mango madness smoothie). My mother in law wanted a lotus energy drink - but they were out of lotus syrup. A few minutes later the gal that rang us up came to our table and let us know they were out of sausage for breakfast sandwiches. Asked what we wanted instead. They still has sausage links, so that's what we had on our sandwiches. When our food was ready they brought everything over except the sausage for my baby - which they clearly forgot to make cause that was a long wait till it arrived (5 or more minutes). Putting food in front of a hungry baby and none of it is for him is not a good idea lol. My husband ended up giving him his sausage and wait to eat his sandwich till they brought more over. I also gave my baby some of my smoothie - the smoothie was good. So, out of several items, and forgot part of our order.... Just seemed a bit chaotic. Food and smoothie was good and the people who work there are nice.
