Food & drink: My 4 star vs. 5 is based on my limited order I had a absolutely fantastic Gin drink called "The Vespar". Loved it! My hub was very happy with his Spicy Bloody Mary. The drinks were perfect. We had a delicious small plate of olives & mozzarella. The plates being delivered to others looked pretty huge & appealing. Ambiance: Well, what can I say...The outdoor patio had the most amazing views of the Tetons, and a breathtaking lake. For this you will pay a premium for cocktails & food, but it is so worth it. Service: The staff maintained a very friendly attitude as they repeatedly had to climb up & down stairs, along with dealing with a rapid, tourist packed table to table turnover. They were busy! Hard workers for sure. If I would ever visit the Grand Teton National Park, I would definitely return for this patio dining experience. read more

Always a wonderful stop when visiting The Tetons. Our server's name was shorty and she was absolutely fabulous! She totally catered to my elderly parents and I appreciated that more than anything. We ordered the Hummus plate, watermelon salad, pork sandwich and onion dip & chips. All items were delicious. Cocktails, view and service were all fantastic. read more

Blue Heron Lounge - View of Tetons from restaurant. - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Moran, Wyoming

The best place to have a meal and admire the majestic Grand Teton mountain ranges. As we walk up to the second floor to the restaurent, the beautiful large windows displaying the magnificent view was breath-taking and unexpected. All these years of traveling around the world, this view at the Blue Heron bar is unforgettable. We were lucky enough to get a table right outside on a sunny day. It was warm and pleasant. The tomato soup, grill cheese, salads, the Bloody Mary and local cider drinks were delicious. The service was great! This is a place you must stop and see! read more

I will add this spot to all future Grand Teton visits! The view is absurd. It's also a nice break from the sandwiches at the campgrounds. Really enjoyed the server. They were well (enough) staffed and calmly dealt with a tour bus that showed up as we arrived. We ran to beat them for a seat. Define eat outside. It is pricey but we just got an app. The nachos seemed pricey at $20 but they did fill us up. They had sweet peppers instead of the traditional jalapeños. That may please more people. They sauce was really good. I enjoyed my canned beer. And everyone enjoyed their drinks. The huckleberry Teton mule was epic. read more

Blue Heron Lounge - Nachos - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Moran, Wyoming

This was a really good meal in Teton! You can't beat the view of the mountains and the water. Our server was good considering it was fairly busy! We got a couple drinks, the huckleberry mule and a huckleberry prosecco drink. I enjoyed the mule but my friend said the other was mostly prosecco. We ordered the onion dip, watermelon salad and heirloom tomato salad. Both salads were really fresh and delicious and the burrata with the heirlooms was so good! The onion dip was solid if a little basic. I wish there had been maybe crusty bread to dip instead of chips because it was pretty thick! Pricing was a little high but not terrible considering there's so few restaurants around. read more

Come for the views, not the food! The scenery is inspiring, but the food? Below average at best. I swear the nachos were topped with canned chicken and some weird green sauce. If I hadn't been starving, I wouldn't have touched them--and at $21 a plate, it felt offensive.. On the bright side, the service, drinks, and those views saved this from being a total loss (hence the stars). Pro tip: skip the nachos. Grab a wrap from the Pioneer Grill instead and enjoy it outside--you'll spend less and actually enjoy your meal. read more

10/10 View was incredible and the drinks were delicious. The only yummy and fresh meal we had in the Tetons! Our server was so sweet and our kids got to run around while us parents got to enjoy some yummy drinks and food! read more

The food is decent, the cocktails tasty, and the service friendly -- but, clearly, the selling point for the Blue Heron is its magnificent views of the Grand Teton range, and sell it they do (dearly). Would I go back again? For that view? Sure! read more

Good: hard lemonade, local ipa draft and service OK: marinated olives with mozzarella cheese Bad: price of drink (too expensive) Unbelievable: view of the TETON MOUNTAINS I would recommend this establishment just because of the views of the mountains.

Service sucked. When I walk into a place, I appreciate eye contact, a greeting, maybe some direction (I.e. seat yourselves, or I'll be right with you, or how many? Etc) we walked in to five workers- some with a blank stare, some never turned around- no greeting, just like zombie stare- eventually I asked if we could sit anywhere- "yeah." WAs the reply. Greaatttt. So we sat outside- might've been a mistake because it was slow service. Maybe it's faster inside? Food was good- drinks were good. read more

Stunning views - worth a stop-in for a drink before sunset. The tall windows had sunshades that blocked some of the view, but there were outdoor seating options. It's all self-seating (no reservations), and unfortunately on the night we were there, the kitchen grills were broken so there was only a very limited bar menu available. However, the burrata and hummus were delicious. We had an amazing server (didn't recall his name but he was originally from Croatia) who gave us a great experience. read more

Good food and drinks. Great view too! Service is incredibly slow but they're nice. I would have given them 5 stars but THEY CHARGE $2 TO ADD ICE TO YOUR COCKTAILS IF YOU GET IT ON THE ROCKS!!!!!!!! read more

Blue Heron Lounge located inside the Jackson Lake Lodge. Building (inside) is beautiful. Decided to grab a burger on the patio of BHL. The view of the Grand Tetons was pretty amazing. We had front row seat to the views. Our server (KATIE) was great, even with dealing another customer who was just being a .... (fill in the blank). She handled this customer with a smile and grace. We were not impressed at all with the burgers and side salads. Burgers seemed like "high school cafeteria" level. "Side salads" were also meh, tiny and overdressed. The 3 stars are for the view and our server (Katie). Go for the view, pass on the food. Sorry No pics of the food, not worth it. read more

Pretty decent appetizer of onion dip and chips (gf and vegetarian). Servers were hard to nail down but very nice. Cocktails were fun. I don't think we'd come back for the price of the food and drink though. The view of the mountain was nice. read more

Ok, the food was good. But...watch the prices! Kid's drinks are $12 each. One glass of Merlot is $18. And be careful... our server added his $45 tip before we ever saw the bill, which then requests another tip. Four adults, two kids was $289 for burgers, fries and drinks. But of course, it's Jackson Lodge. read more

You can't beat the view and the drinks are so refreshing. Hubby always gets the watermelon salad. I switch around, but never a bad meal. Love having dinner while viewing the Tetons. read more

The views of the Grand Tetons from the Blue Heron Lounge are stellar. Absolutely magnificent! On that feature alone this place could easily get a 5-star rating. And, I highly recommend you make a stop here for amazing views. Alas, the food does not score as high as the mountain views. Our food was good and our service was just fine as well. We stopped in here for a little snack after a long hike. The Lounge offers a Soup, Salads and Small Plates menu. We ordered the Sweet Corn and Smoked Trout Chowder and the Mini Tostadas. The Chowder was so delicious. For the price, I just wish the bowl was larger. read more

Spectacular views and limited staff make this place a conundrum. We only had cocktails here by scanning a bar code. You had to get food outside by ordering online and bringing it back in. Obviously, this is temporary, but what a pain! I felt so bad for the single bartender trying to keep up with all the online orders while having customers at the bar stare at him with cold impatient faces. Eventually, someone did come to the rescue to make drinks but geez, what a nightmare with all the tourists everywhere. Our group was in no rush. We were just admiring the views but there was definitely confusion whether to seat ourselves or wait for help and then we saw the bar code on the table. You can go the bar code way or go directly to the bar to order. Drinks were decent, not the best, but enjoyable. They used huckleberry in some of the cocktail recipes which is a unique twist. The drinks were at Vegas prices so we were happy that some of them packed a little punch. Hopefully times get back to normal soon so they don't have to deal with both online and in person ordering while understaffed. read more

This was a stop on our tour from Rapid City to Jackson. The setting is absolutely awe-inspiring. We had luncheon sandwiches, I the rib-eye & cheese, my wife had the hamburger. Both were very good, and the home-made potato chips were special. We also enjoyed two local beers. Highly recommended! read more

Tonight I dined in with my fiancé to grab a drink and enjoy the beautiful Grand Teton views - it was a wonderful experience. Drinks, ambiance, and service were all great. Our server, Marko, provided exceptional service with genuine conversation and was very kind. I 10/10 recommend enjoying a night with great drinks and impeccable views here. If I wasn't leaving tomorrow, I would 100% have gone back for another night. read more

Amazing views. Good service. Really wish the food was better. You really cannot beat the views. You are sitting with an unobstructed view of the Grand Teton mountains. Unfortunately, the food was not great. We had lunch and grabbed some hamburgers (I had the Hawaiian burger). It's hard to mess up a burger, but someone they succeeded. The burger itself was tasteless, and overly salty. A Hawaiian burger should have a good teriyaki sauce, but you can barely taste it. The beef was bland and a little stiff and overcooked. Even the potato chips were bland. We went here because the Mural room restaurant was full. Otherwise, this place is a pass. read more

Great view, bad food. I had read the reviews but my dad wanted to visit this lodge so we had lunch to take in the amazing views. I ordered the grilled cheese, it was two slices of cheese that weren't melted on a small ciabatta roll. I ordered the Jackson Lemonade for a cocktail. It was bright pink and I'm pretty sure was Hi-C lemonade with no booze in it. Don't eat here. read more

Staff is friendly and the view is second to none. We tried this place twice during our stay. The tostadas are good, but very oily, nachos were similarly oily; made me feel a little sick afterwards. The chicken wrap is basic, but good. One star reduction due to the small menu. read more

Come here for drinks and the view not so much the food. Just wanted a quick bite before heading back to the park. We had some beers and shared a brawt since we weren't super hungry. Beer was good so was the service the brawt not so much. Bun was either old or way over toasted which made it rather hard. Combine that with way too much sauerkraut and you basically have to eat it with a fork and knife because it completely falls apart. Flavor was ok, the views however were great! read more

We were with a bus tour when we stopped at Jenny Lake. Before walking the discovery trail, we decided to stop for a quick bite to eat and enjoy the view of the Grand Teton mountains. We sat at a fire pit table on the lower deck and shared a salad which was ample for the two of us. Our server was a very delightful young lady working in the park system for the summer. Service was excellent and we even had cloth napkins with real silverware. read more

This place has a killer view and the prices were reasonable BUT the food is mediocre and service lackluster as is often the case at National Park eateries. I had the bratwurst which was incinerated and a Bloody Mary which had a tablespoon of black pepper in it. Only the view saved it from a 2 star rating. It is dog friendly if you walk around the north side of the hotel. Listed in: The Great Southwest Adventure - 2019 https://www.yelp.com/collection/2t6-zVlNVIUt4pCdPPkrtA read more

Can the view get any better? The Blue Heron Lounge is one of several dining options available at the Jackson Lake Lodge located inside Grand Teton National Park. To get to this bar/lounge/restaurant, you'll have to get to the second level of Jackson Lake Lodge, go through the magnificent lobby with the incomparable view of the Grand Tetons behind the floor-to-ceiling glass windows and go to the right. Though it's named "lounge", we walked in with kids and they didn't even blink. We opted to sit at the outdoor patio so we could sit at the outward-facing bar so we could stare at the Grand Tetons while eating our large-portioned yummy lunches. ADULT GRILLED CHEESE - was a very good choice. PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM SANDWICH - was very filling PRETZEL BITES - the different sauces made it fun for the kids to eat. Free parking at the Lodge. read more

The bartenders here were very welcoming and mixed up some great drinks--both specialty and rail. But the draw here is the chance to enjoy your libation with a full view of the Teton range--either outside on their patio or in the bar along the giant picture windows. Yes, you pay a bit for the view, but nowhere else has this view! read more

The Blue Heron Lounge is the bar at Jackson Lake Lodge in Grant Teton National Park. They offer local beer and specialty cocktails and have a large outdoor seating area with a prime view of the Grand Teton range. Such a perfect view of sunset over the mountains means you'll need to get here early if you want a table with a view! We enjoyed a beer from Snake River Brewing and a Huckleberry mojito cocktail on our evening visit. The cocktail was a unique blend of fruity flavors and even had huckleberries in it. This may just be the best bar in a national park -- make a stop if you're in the area! read more

This is right on the back side of the lodge. The view is amazing. The food is mediocre. They take what you make at home and add a sauce. Being the largest lodge at the Tetons, I was expecting more out of it. The meal seems about $2-$3 too high for what you get. The service is great and the view is amazing. Worth stopping in for a drink but there are better places to eat here. read more

My husband and I took a national park tour for our honeymoon. We came here for the view because it is one of the few restaurants (maybe only?) "on the lake." We were a little disappointed to find that it was only a lake view and not right on the lake. To our surprise, it was self seating and a nice casual restaurant. Once seated, we were immediately greeted by our server, who happened to also be from Austin, TX! We chatted it up, ordered our food, and he recommended some local brews. My husband ordered the beef n' cheddar and I got the portobello mushroom. I must say, I was disappointed by the portion size as the majority of my sandwich was bread and the portobello to bun ratio was the opposite of my liking. Also, for $13 and $11, the meal basically came with no sides. My husband got a handful of chips and I got a handful of greens. After our $50 meal, we were still hungry, so that was the downside. The upside: lovely view, casual atmosphere, good drinks, and excellent service! read more

Amazing view, good cocktails and Aok food. Would recommend getting the huckleberry margarita and the burger. Def stop by if you're visiting grand Teton atleast for the view. Prices are in the $$ range. I do not recommend the brussel sprouts appetizer as they were all raw and hardly few of them were roasted. read more

We are back for a second try. I like to give people a second chance but right now we have only gotten sub par service. Bartender yesterday was as cold as ice and rude beyond belief. Today isn't any better. If you don't like people get a job where you don't have to be nice to people! Today was even worse. Customer service is dead in the Blue Heron.

Blue Heron Lounge - Mountain Mojito made with huckleberries and rotting mint leaves! - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Moran, Wyoming

Service: 4.5 Stars! The service here is fantastic, without a doubt. They could probably use one or two more waiters during their busy time, but even when crowded, the waits been visits weren't that long. Food: 2-3 stars. Some of the food is very good. Some of it is not. The beef and cheddar sandwich was great, with a nice touch of horseradish. The chicken sandwich had a nice spicy kick to it, but both mine, and my Father-in-Law's chicken was somewhat dry. The burger looked good, a traditional burger. The home made chips (bbq flavored) were good. (Great when dipped in the cheese sauce from the beef and cheddar). The boar shank was good, but the rice we had with it was hard and crunchy (Very undercooked). The Waiter quickly replaced it. (Again the service is fantastic). The greens on the side (an option instead of chips) have a nice light dressing with them. Drinks: Very good! 4-4.5 stars. A decent selection of beer (I guess? I don't drink beer). My wife, Mother-in-Law and I tried a series of their huckleberry drinks. The margarita and mojito were very good. The huckleberry vodka lemonade was..fine. The huckleberry whiskey drink was decent. Nice flavors. (I still prefer my whiskey with a big ice cube, and nothing else I guess). All the drinks were well made. Our first visit, they had more muddled huckleberries than the second. (day one had 4.5 stars for drinks, day two had 4 stars). The place was clean, with a VERY nice outdoor view of the valley, where one can view elk and moose, and beavers and birds. Prices are a little high, but it's in a touristy hotel lodge, so that's to be expected (Huckleberry drinks are 12-15 dollars each, meals are 12-15 for sandwich types, and 20-26 for entrees). I'd go back for the views, the service, and specific items from their menu. Without the views and the service, I'd not come here again. read more
