It's a casual spot to stop for lunch to fuel up before you continue on exploring Yellowstone National Park. We enjoyed everything we got. The Brisket is a must order! Very flavorful and juicy. You can add a bun and make it a sandwich. We did also try the Turkey Sandwich and Mushroom Sandwich. The pickled white onions in the Turkey sandwich was unique with a nice crunchy sweetness. Don't skip the sides. The coleslaw and baked beans are amazing and really complete the southern BBQ meal. Quick service. It was 10 of us in the group and we got our food within 10-15 minutes.

Spent 11 wonderful hours in Yellowstone and decided to grab a bite before heading to our hotel. Saw…read morethe Iron Horse and thought it was probably a dive bar where we could get a beer and some basic bar food. Expectations weren't very high .....boy were we pleasantly surprised! First of all the staff is tremendous....friendly, courteous and extremely PROFESSIONAL! We were very impressed with the young lady who waited on us as well as the young man tending the bar. They were AMAZING! We sat outside enjoying our drinks and the river view from the expansive rear deck. It was then that we got what we hadn't expected.... burgers that were PERFECTLY cooked per our requests with fresh beef, leafy lettuce, succulent tomatoes and thinly sliced onions and accompanied by hot seasoned fries which were just as amazing as the burger! We were blown away.....what we thought would be nothing special turned out to be a memorable dinner that served as the cherry on top of a very special day for two retirees from WV!

Super casual counter service, with usual pub faves as well as some local flavors. We went with the: - hog wings - small but meaty, fried halfway to chicharrones with a Korean sweet sauce on the side, kinda salty even plain on its own - bison cheeseburger - solid burger, excellent and generous fries - brisket sandwich - generous portion of meat, kinda dry so I asked for more huckleberry bbq sauce on the side otherwise not very flavorful. Cole slaw was meh but I don't like Cole slaw (they wouldn't swap for anything else). Again excellent fries! Chased all this meaty salty heavy food with a local brew. Think $75 before tax/tip was pretty normal tourist prices - we were stuffed and didn't finish all the fries and buns.

We are here twice and had wildly different experiences…read more Our first visit here was Thursday evening and the food, service and overall experience were excellent. Our second visit here was Monday evening and the food, service and overall experience was not very good. On Thursday we were given a children's menu, on Monday none was offered. We asked for the BBQ chicken sandwich for my 1 year old, but asked for just the chicken, no bun and the sauce to be on the side. Was served exactly as we asked. On Monday it was served just as it is on the menu, we had to send it back as my baby won't eat any sauce on chicken. Which is why we wanted it on the side so we can continue to try to introduce sauce to him but also get him to eat some plain chicken. On Thursday I had the pulled pork sandwich and fries. It was great. On Monday I had the quesadilla with barbicoa beef. The meat was excellent, but the bottom side of my quesadilla was soggy, not crispy at all and wet when it was served to me. On Thursday my husband had the Dizzy buffalo burger with the cheese curds, he liked it. On Monday he had the Westerner sandwich, he said it wasn't great. He ended up only having a couple of bites. I'm not sure what the difference was, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that hopefully they were just having an off night. Round out the two visits at 3 stars. I'd give them another shot if we visit again since one time was a really great experience.

The elk and regular burger was cooked to perfection, juicy, incredibly flavorful, and seasoned just right. You can immediately taste the quality. Paired with great sides, it was exactly what we needed and easily the tastiest meal we've had all week. On top of that, the service was outstanding. The staff was warm, welcoming, and fast, making us feel right at home the second we walked in. The place itself has an awesome, classic Montana vibe that fits Gardiner perfectly, charming, rustic, and full of character. If you are visiting Yellowstone or passing through Gardiner, do not skip The Corral. Five stars all the way!

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.

I had their veggie burger, which was really good and had a delicious sauce. Others in my party had the cheeseburger and the pulled pork sandwich, which they both enjoyed too. We also got some drinks from their coffee bar, and their chai latte was great, just the perfect amount of spice for me. And they have a lot of fun coffee syrup flavors if that's your thing (toasted marshmallow, huckleberry, etc.) We skipped the bakery case, but they have a lot of tempting treats! We were there right as they were turning over from lunch service to dinner, so beware they do close for an hour for that (saw some sad folks wishing they could get in during that hour). They had a couple of tvs if you were looking to keep an eye on any games, but also the dining room is super cozy with a fireplace, and a couch sitting area for those just grabbing a coffee. It was snowy when we were there, but they have a cute little patio area too that I'm sure is great in the summer.

The first visit, my friend and I split a burger that was really tasty, moist and well accessorized. We got fries and a side salad and both were great accompaniments. The second time, I was hungrier and so excited to try the amazing bison ravioli. My only regret was the one that fell onto the bar when I was offering a taste to my friend. A whole ravioli went un-enjoyed by a tragic fumble of the fork. The ravioli was delicious and clearly made with love. The cream sauce was surprisingly light for a creamy sauce. I believe this could easily be their signature dish. My friend also had a pasta dish and really enjoyed it. Ambiance-wise, it can't be beat. I was genuinely taken by the collection of Nate Udd's artwork available for purchase, as well as the work of several other artists and photographers.
