Firstly, Blue Heron is located inside the Jackson Lake Lodge, which is off Jackson Lake Rd (not Jenny Lake Rd). The best thing about the Blue Heron lounge is the awesome views of Jackson Lake and the Grand Teton mountain range behind it. Seriously, it's breathtaking. The staff there are very nice and the bar serves beer, wine, and liquor. I had some decent glasses of red on a couple nights (and they fill the glass up, don't worry) and a few scotches on other nights. It's a nice lounge/bar to hang out in, but the best part is outside, within view of the mountains. If there's one thing I wish I could have done, it is to sample more of their food menu. They offer some small/tapas plates and I ordered the Charcuterie & Cheese plate, which is "Elk, wild boar, and buffalo salumis with assorted cheese, grain mustard". It's about $8.95 but it's very good (I Iike the wild boar salami the best). The Blue Heron sliders are also tasty. Nothing beats good bar food, beer (try the Old Faithful Ale from the Grand Teton brewing company), and a mountain view. (keep watching the marsh in front of the mountains and you'll probably spot some elk running around). By the way, wi-fi may be spotty (even inside the lodge viewing room, where it works best, it's still spotty) but Verizon 3g works. read more

Blue Heron Lounge - Charcuterie and Cheese Plate (Elk, wild boar, and buffalo salamis with assorted cheese, grain mustard) - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Moran, Wyoming

Very disappointing for such a wonderful lodge and setting. Limited menu to say the least, no gluten free options. Chicken sandwiches were very dry from overcooking. Side salad came with no dressing and when requested received red onion vinaigrette the consistency of applesauce. Server seemed to lack empowerment. Conversely our 2 meals at Pioneer Grill were very good and service excellent. read more

Fantastic view of the Tetons are enjoyed with ~30 foot floor-to-ceiling windows. This lounge is located upstairs and off-to-the side of Jackson Lake Lodge Lobby. Unbelievable scenery of the Grand Tetons are enjoyed throughout the restaurant and outdoor patio dining area. An attractive wraparound bar features floor-to-ceiling windows. We enjoyed tasty small plates consisting of charcuterie and salads which were locally sourced. The weather was perfect enabling outdoor grill activity. The barbecue entrees looked delicious! read more

I feel horrible for writing this review because we love the lodge as a whole! We ate at Blue Heron a couple of times last year and really liked it. This year, the service is slow and the rice I received with my jerk chicken was so hard and crunchy, I thought they served Grape Nuts with the chicken. You know something is wrong when the BBQ at the pool now looks more appealing than one of the restaurants at the lodge. This kind of sucks because we are here all week and have no desire to go back to Blue Heron. That's minus one restaurant to choose from. read more

My wife and kids tried the Blue Heron lounge after a long day in Grand Teton National Park. Kids can't eat in the bar area, which was fine because we sat outside and enjoyed the view of Mt. Moran and the rest of the Teton range. As soon as we sat down, a waitress brought us water and took our drink order. The beer selection was great and the wine selection wasn't bad either. I recommend the Pako's IPA on draft. We split a trout salad which was fantastic and had veggie burgers which were quite good. Although it was nothing fancy, the food was flavorful and was perfect fare after a long day of sightseeing. The staff was great even though they were busy and were great with our kids. read more

Amazing food. Unique menu selections, but I haven't had anything I didn't enjoy! At times, there's a wait but it's a little expected so just anticipate the wait or plan according but it's worth the wait! read more

First off, the Jackson Lake Lodge is legit. Super huge general lounge w some of the best views of the Tetons, youll know what I mean the instant you enter. Inside of this beautiful lodge is The Blue Heron Lounge, which seems to be the bar thats most "poppin'" when it comes to the 'bar scene' at grand teton national park. The huckleberry lemonade cocktail had some good taste, and everything our group ordered hit the spot! The combo of amazing views, good fare, and well mixed drinks proved to be a good time for everyone involved read more

The huckleberry margarita is awesome! Sitting outside with that view and a drink in hand is sublime. read more

We ordered lunch immediately after sitting down and after 50 minutes we still didn't have our food. We had to walk out to get back onto our Insight tour coach. Several others on our coach also had to walk out without food. This is an unacceptable level of service for a facility that caters tours. The tour director and coach captain did a great job but they can't control the kitchen. read more

Love the environment, the service, the food. Great place to have lunch with a great view of all those mountains. The food was good too, especially their chowder and watermelon salad. So happy we found this place when we were there. read more

See all

Well, there's the view. And then there's the view. Did I mention the view? Spectacular view of the mountains, plus good food and beer. I had the portobello sandwich and Howling Wolf Hefeweizen. Perfect afternoon. read more

Far above average pub grub, great beer list & a view That Can't Be Beat. Staff are always a little overworked, but their service is professional & courteous. read more

Blue Heron Lounge - Beer & mountains - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Moran, Wyoming

Can't beat the view; good service. Salads had a touch too much dressing - hubby and I both enjoyed the adult grilled cheese sandwich. They let us split their small plates - no problem. Huckleberry cocktails are sweet if you like that. I squeezed the lime hard into my mule which saved it. read more

Look, they could serve saltwater and they'd get five stars because of the incredible view. But their cocktails are good! Had the huckleberry margarita. I was skeptical but it worked. My wife had the huckleberry mojito, which the very much enjoyed. Service was good too. I will say the it's pricey. But the views are priceless and easily worth the extra couple of bucks they charge per drink. read more

Huckleberry mojito is delicious without being too sweet. Bottles of wine start at $26 which is very reasonable considering the incredible Teton view you enjoy with your drinks! Food is decent considering it is prepared at a small catering station in the bar area. Edamame was served cold but was well seasoned. Nachos were average bar nachos. Service is polite but a bit rough around the edges. Seating available inside or outside. Come in the evening to hear the pianist in the hotel lobby or watch the sunset from the porch. read more

Food was ok. Nachos has chez wiz. Disappointing. The beer brat was smaller than the bun. The corn chowder was more like potatoe chowder. Two stars for food. One star for location and view. read more

Blue Heron Lounge - What a view. Even with the smoky haze. - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Moran, Wyoming

Great views of the grand Teton mountains. Food was decent and service was quick and attentive. Could have more options for vegetarians.

Loved this lounge. Drinks were fresh and well made. Food was absolutely fantastic. We had the Brussels and cheese, the house salad, the burger and the ribs. The ribs were the highlight but all was very delicious and hot when served. The waitstaff were well above par, friendly and attentive. I would greatly encourage sitting outside to enjoy the views. Will most definitely be returning on our next trip. read more

This restaurant located inside Jackson Lake Lodge on the shore of Jackson Lake, offers small plates that are perfect along with a drink during or after a tour of the Tetons.....the backdrop is magnificant......The waitstaff was very nice.....wifi was not really available there, but was out in the lobby.....but I did not really care that much about getting on the internet at that time ...anyway.....I had a bowl of chili......very good.....!!!....whenever touring the Tetons , ya gotta stop here...!! read more

No bar has a better view. Friendly servers, tasty tapas. Don't miss it on your trip to the Grand Tetons.

Lots of issues: They have a big fly problem in the restaurant. Our corn chowder was mostly potatos, came luke warm the first time, warmer but still not hot the second. Bread was stale. Waitstaff was sympathetic and attentive, but it was disappointing that after asking the waiter to let the manager know about the chowder they did not come to the table. read more

We loved our lunch here today. Husband had the burger. Kids had the ribeye and cheese sandwiches and I had the portobello sandwich. All served with pickle chips. Very friendly attentive servers. Drinks were a little pricey but the view out to the mountains cannot be beat. Great lunch overall. read more

Terrible service! First time I came it was busy and the service was incredibly slow. I came again when it was less busy and I waited over 15 minutes before leaving. No one came to ask if I wanted a drink or to order anything. Bummer because the view is great. Food is overpriced but decent. read more

The view is to die for for starters. I can't speak on much because we sat on the patio however the Wyoming Whiskey Chowder in the bread bowl might be the greatest thing ever. I'm not kidding if you love soup this is a must. read more

We went to the Blue Heron for an afternoon snack and beverage. The setting is spectacular and the beer and drinks were all fine Nacho plate is "1 star" quality. Tasted like unseasoned cheese whiz dumped on mediocre chips. The guacamole was an unseasoned blend of mashed peas with slight trace of avocado. We left most of this pathetic offering untouched. It appears that no one with professional culinary expertise is overseeing the food operation at the Jackson Lake Lodge. If there was they wouldn't be dumping a bag of chips on a plate, plopping on some cheese wiz, adding some jalapeños, onions and tomato and serving lukewarm at best. We cancelled dinner plans for the Mural Room as a result of this experience. read more

I waited 20 minutes to order a glass of wine. Waited another 20 to be served. There were 2 other tables with 2 people each. Not crowded. The same thing happened the next evening (I was a guest at the Lodge). I did not return after that. read more

I was Soooo sad to see they've changed the Blue a Heron Lounge. The apps were sadly lacking - pickled vegetables??? Really? You used to be able to get nachos, etc, and they had snacks on the tables.... They offered pork "ritte" ??? Come on - people are hiking and want some good ole potato skins, or guacamole to snack on.... read more

You want a review? How dare you! Alfredo's service was amazing and the story telling a true 10/10. The other customers were a little sketchy, but the food and beer was on point. Would travel back from Australia to revisit. read more

Service was poor. We waited for a server while other parties coming in after us had orders taken. When our drinks from the bar were placed out for our server, we watched them sit for 5 plus minutes and finally went up to get them ourselves. Burgers, we were told, could only be served medium rare or well done. My chicken was lost in the bun. Beautiful view but stop here, take photos and go somewhere else for food. read more

Views and atmosphere: 10+ Food: 4 or 5, at best. It is indescribably beautiful, sitting out on the deck or in the bar/lounge area, overlooking the Tetons. Drinks were just fine, but the food leaves much MUCH to be desired. Jerk chicken sandwich literally did not taste anything like jerk chicken and was way overpriced for the portion size. Totally worth it to grab a few glasses of wine or cocktails, but that's about it.... read more

Views at this restaurant are absolutely incredible. My husband and I both got a burger which was below average in my opinion. It came with chips that were store bought. Service wasn't bad but a little slow. I would not recommend this place but options in the park are limited. read more
