If you want old Americana, down and dirty, and I mean dirty, this is your place. Two stars instead one just for the convenience and being the only place around for miles. The only reason to visit this establishment is because you are visiting the Heart 6 Ranch. End of the season and closing soon for the winter so they were out of a lot of things, especially no beer or wine. Service is rough. No frills. One guy who stood behind the bar and took our order. Asked what we should order since so much was unavailable. He suggested the burger so, the burger it was. Fries were bad and after a few, left the rest. Burger was just ok. Filled a void but nothing great. read more

Terrible. Only food available this evening were burgers. Service was slow - only one server for the entire restaurant and the order was wrong - 3 times! The $5.00, 36oz Coke (fountain drink) was a 12oz can of Coke since the fountain was broken. There was a hidden, automatic 20% gratuity, so review your bill before adding additional gratuity. Finally, if you choose to order take out, there is a $5.00 service charge! read more

Ate here out of convenience because we stayed nearby. I will say that I love the decor, all of the odds and ends are charming and make for great atmosphere and photos. They also don't skimp on the food portions. Unfortunately, my rating is mostly because of the pricing. Not only do they charge $3 for water (!), they also add an automatic 20% gratuity to every check (regardless of party size) without disclosing. The $5 takeout fee is also new to me. Perhaps the saddest part was the pitiful selection of beers. If you had the option, I'd probably look elsewhere for food. read more

Absolute worst, disgusting accommodations. We booked a teepee on decking, but got a filthy teepee only on dirt. The linen literally had urine stains on it. When asked to be moved from our "teepee" they were rude and dismissive. We were eventually allowed to move to a wagon. We were told the checkout time would be between 11 and 12 but when we checked out, we were then told it would be after 3. We had enough and asked for a refund and were denied. The manager was incomprehensibly rude, telling us we were lying about what we were told, even though she was the one that booked the wagon for us. I even emailed them a copy of the receipt which showed we were not given the right original booking. To drive home how bad this was, we left and didn't go on the horseback ride. We spent over $700 on complete trash (not to mention the restaurant only served beer and milk and the staff was just as rude when trying to order). As a native of Wyoming this is not who we are.we are better than this. Manners are the rule, not the exception, and hospitality is our native virtue. Terrible business. I would advise to stay as far away as possible. read more

Food is expensive and extremely mediocre. One star for the super cute decor and working WiFi, and for the huckleberry milkshake which was alright (but the worst one of the 3 we tried in the area). Terribly slow service. They automatically add a 20% service charge to all bills with no warning. Their menu says they add it for takeout, but it does not say it's for everything! They will give you beer and milkshakes in disposable cups, but tap water will cost you $2 for a cup (tho they will allow you to bring your own container and get it filled for free). They will forget dressing on salad. They won't get meat doneness right. I would go anywhere else, and did after the first terrible experience. read more

this place sucked overpriced food horrible customer service and the undisclosed 20% gratuity is ridiculous. Also the five dollar takeout fee to take your food home with you is insane. I would not recommend this place to anyone if you're hungry just drive the extra time and find somewhere else to eat if you're reading this review and thinking that you should just risk it don't I thought the same thing and now I'm here writing this review. read more

$7 for a single drip coffee that was basically just hot water with a small taste of coffee. Was so gross.

Remote area, so food choices are limited. Everything is counter service and they will then deliver to your table. Automatic gratuity is put on your bill, regardless of party size. And they charge $2 for tap water. Food was fine, but well overpriced for what you get. And it took 25mins to come out, and then only after I asked about it. read more

I don't think there is any coming back from the pit that they have created. The service was not only self serve, but also like you had to navigate an obstacle course to do so. Just to get a drink of water you have to pay three dollars for a reusable water bottle that has a 100% chance for the lid to break. The actual food itself seemed like someone was let in the back to just throw a bunch of stuff in a bowl, and then serve it. And then to wrap it all up, you are left with a devastating decision. You could eat outside and die by mosquito bites, or you could eat inside and slowly burn alive at 120 degrees. Also, the most expensive place i've ever eaten. Automatic gratuity. Genuinely not a single good thing about this place. Drive the extra 40 miles if you need. It's worth it. read more

Worst value for food ever! Ordered the Chuckwagon ($17) with 2 extra pieces of toast ($2) to go. They added a mandatory 20% tip plus $5 takeout. With tax, this turned this already overpriced $19 meal into $30. Additionally, they didn't have any utensils or condiments so toast was just toasted bread. Rest of it was standard, nothing special or particularly flavorful. Embarrassingly expensive for a carton of ho-hum food. read more

Buffalo Valley Cafe - This is a $30 breakfast to go and they didn't even have utensils available. - Cafes Near Me - Moran, Wyoming

I dont want sounds KAREN. But im a camper and I been in alot places but like this never! Never will recommend this place. Lets start from the beginning. At the website or when you book they never say you cant do fire or even cook in your stove they say that just when you do the checkin. For me the cooking part is the must fun when you camping. And when I check in they say this with very smile face pointing to the f* pricy restaurant they have in there. VERY PRICE AND 20% TIP FOR NOTHING!!!! Anyways just for the next part , the tent is terrible. The pics you see is actually what you gonna get. DONT FOOL FOR THOSE PHOTOSHOP PICS THEY Advertise!!!! Yes the tents dont come with nothing. SO BRING YOUR OWN OR RENT $$$! dont have place to hang out. Nothing is just inside and inside. I didn't finish yet, the BATHROOM ARE THE MUST DISGUSTING PLACE EVER. No cleaning, no papers toilet , no soap. I don't care about bring my own but CLEAN IS THE MUST HERE DONT HAVE! After I took a shower walking at the floor I have to wash my feet again! WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CLEAN ? Come on!!! Please don't waist you many is this place , will be very disappointed!!! Good part they have wifi (free) And houses to ride (pay of course) THATS IT!!!!!! At the end I didn't stay . I prefer dispersed camping then stay there! At the end asked if I can have my refund for the nights she asked me why and call me bougie very frustrated!!!!! read more

Breakfast was cold, Service was alright, they were out of hot chocolate. You can't bring your own water in and to get water you have to buy one of their "souvenir water bottles". The most ridiculous thing however, besides the price, was that they charge a 5 DOLLAR TAKEOUT FEE. If I pay $17 for a mediocre cold breakfast i'll do whatever tf i want with it, and to add insult to injury jury there's a mandatory 20% tip. The potatoes were good. read more

Stopped in May 2025 to use the restroom and have breakfast. Bathrooms OUT OF ORDER but was told to use bathrooms across a dirt lot in one of the Heart Six Ranch buildings. However, it was pouring rain. Had to order at the counter. No table service. Water is $3.00 but you get a plastic reusable bottle with a logo. Food was good but expensive. Pancakes & Burro Burrito. Hot Chocolate sucked. Check your bill before paying. A gratuity was already added. Service slow and food was not ready altogether. I was handed the plate of pancakes way before the burrito was ready and I had to ask again for the hot chocolate. I went to the Check-in door for the Heart Six Ranch to ask about the bathroom location and Terry, who was at the counter, was very rude and told me to go somewhere else. I would give negative stars to the Heart Six. It's a dump. And the staff I encountered were rude. Two stars for the restaurant because of all the reasons above. read more

Rude and weirdly helpless "servers." The place was covered in dirty dishes when we got there and we were told we'd have to wait because they had "no idea where any plates are." They charge for water and an auto 20% gratuity, which you would only find out after you pay as it is not stated anywhere. Is that even legal? I walked out and decided to eat the banana I had in my car instead. read more

Delicious food but extremely slow service This was hands down the best meal in the Yellowstone/Grand Teton area my friends and I had. We stopped for breakfast on our last day in Grand Teton before driving down to Salt Lake City, and I'm glad we weren't in a rush, since the whole experience took a lot longer than expected. We arrived on a Sunday morning a little after 10, but was told that because they were running behind in the kitchen, it would be a while before they could seat us. We waited for maybe 15 minutes to get seated, and then another 15 minutes until we were even given menus. I went with the Rustler's Round Up ($11), which is a breakfast platter that comes with two eggs any style, hash browns, bacon/sausage, and biscuit with gravy. It took almost 45 minutes for us to get our food, but everything was done extremely well. The hash browns, which were actually just tater tots, were crispy on the outside, the sausage was plump and juicy, the eggs were scrambled just right without being overcooked, and the biscuit and gravy were extremely satisfying. My friends and I all really enjoyed our food. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for good food in the area who isn't in a rush. read more

I found this place disgusting but when I told the employees I was surprised they cared. So my suggestion to them is to use the bathrooms throughout the facility on a rotation so they can see what the customers are experiencing. Don't just use the nice bathrooms. Use all the bathrooms. Also fix the ceiling tiles and remove mattresses and remove construction materials and fix broken showers and clean the shower curtains. Also get the cowboys to care about the customers. Don't ride the four wheelers throwing up dust when customers are packing their cars or eating lunch. And get a handle on them scamming the customers on pricing. I know you told me $120 to ride and put it on the map but when my friend asked he told him $200. Not a good business model. We upgraded from a teepee to a wagon our second day and we had to pay for both. The guy in the wagon next to us got a free upgrade to a wagon because no tents were available. (Our tent was available because we paid for both and knew it was!). Just poor management. But hopefully this review helps them read more

Very expensive for what you get and service was pretty rude. I would not recommend eating here although choices are very limited

Food was good and great ambiance. Sat in the patio with views of mountains at sunset. read more

Buffalo Valley Cafe - BLT with onion rings - Cafes Near Me - Moran, Wyoming

Very possibly the worst food I've ever had. The bread was burned, the hamburger was raw, the french fries were soaked in grease and undercooked, the sodas were low on syrup, there were flies all around the table, they were out of the first several things that I tried to order off the menu, and the help was questionably friendly and efficient at best. You have to pay and leave a tip before your meal is delivered. Unfortunate because if we'd paid after, we wouldn't have paid for the meals or left a tip. Do yourself a favor and get food literally anywhere else. I would have given 0 stars if it had been a choice. read more

Overpriced food and drinks and there are flys everywhere. Would not recommend going here

This was the best place i've eaten at! Yes, the price is a little up there- but the food makes up for it. We ordered pancakes, bacon, biscuits and gravy, eggs, and coffee. This was the best choice we have made!! I definitely disagree with some of these reviews- I would definitely recommend this place! read more

WATCH OUT: 20% TIP AUTOMATICALLY ADDED (for counter service) My husband and I ate breakfast at the cafe two mornings in a row (August 11 and 12) while staying at the ranch. Orders are taken at the counter, and food is carried out to your table. Hubby paid one morning and I paid the next. The check had standard lines at the bottom for Tip and Total. Each of us was unsure how much to tip for counter service, but the servers were reasonably friendly and working hard, so each of us tipped 20% on the total. Neither of us noticed that a 20% "auto-gratuity" had already been added to the check. The auto-gratuity was difficult to see because it was added as if it was a food item, before the Subtotal and tax. We each tipped 20% on the Total (including auto-gratuity and tax), so we ended up tipping 44% on the food, which was NOT what we intended. So, FAIR WARNING: Your $17 breakfast (already a hefty price for a standard plate of breakfast food) will be $20.40 with the auto-gratuity (before tax). Or $26.46 with coffee and tax. I called the cafe after we got home and spoke with the manager. She claimed the auto-gratuity practice was posted in multiple places (which neither hubby nor I saw). The practice was implemented because the ranch has many guests from other countries who are not in the habit of tipping, and the servers would get "stiffed" if she didn't implement a mandatory service charge. I argued that a MANDATORY 20% service charge for COUNTER SERVICE is certainly not usual practice in this country. At least the servers could have asked if we actually intended to tip double. Manager said the servers see "hundreds of customers a day" and cannot be expected to notice how much was tipped or ask the customer about it. Manager said she will "never" change the auto-gratuity practice. So, I appreciate where this manager is coming from. She wants to ensure her servers (who live on site) are covered, and she's willing to take the heat from people like me. However, the current practice is also causing well-meaning people like me to tip far more than is reasonable. My suggestion to the cafe: on the check that is given to the customer, REPLACE the Tip and Total lines with the statement SERVICE CHARGE INCLUDED. An automatic tip of 20% is plenty (especially for counter service); there's no need to confuse people by soliciting additional tips. I consider the "auto-gratuity," as implemented, a nonstandard and deceptive practice, hence my 2-star review. Based on the food, service, and setting, I would have given 3 stars (maybe 4 on a generous day). I suggest passing on the breakfast burrito, which was almost entirely hash browns inside (it was hard to find any egg or meat, and there was no cheese). Consider driving down the road to the Hatchet if you can--it's a much better experience. read more

I honestly don't know how this place is even open to serve the public. If you're just passing through this is the only place for miles...trust me,keep on going! If a guy behind a counter only stands there to take your money (oh,it's cards only). He states 'do you see a cash register). You pay 20% gratuity for any single item. But there's also a tip bucket on the bar,so don't forget to leave a 'cash tip' The food is nasty as well as the place. You walk in,get your own menu,get your own napkins,silverware,condiments ect. It'll be worth a few saltine crackers and fill you up a cup of water from a clear steam of water on side of the road than to go in here. 1 burger $18,one order fries $12 (a cut up potato that's soaked in grease),cheese sticks $12 and two drinks $4 each that's a souvenir cup ;) +20%. So,suit yourself read more

The servers not friendly and bad attitude. Not good service and they charge automatically %20 gratuity !!!! I pay that kind of tip for excellent service only. Food was average but overprice. To top it all they charge $2 for tap water. I would have had no problem paying that if it was bottled water. read more

Great people, amazing view, and food that warms the soul. Jackie and the entire Heart 6 staff are amazing and will help with anything and everything you need. Cant wait to come back and set up some horseback rides. They do request that you please not take the hotel towels to the beach ;) read more

Buffalo Valley Cafe - The view - Cafes Near Me - Moran, Wyoming

The food was decent however the service was rude and we were automatically charged 20% gratuity for a party of two. Additionally, we had to go up and order as well as gather utensils or literally anything else we needed...... not a reason for a tip. The food was overpriced and definitely not worth the extreme costs. I would recommend going anywhere else but here. read more

The attitudes of the people that work here were appalling. We stayed at the ranch here and wanted coffee in the morning, we got 2 cups from the cafe on the property. The guy at the counter kept telling people "maybe you should learn to drink your coffee black". It was $9.98 for 2 coffees we were charged a 15% gradituity without warning. I'd not recommend visiting this cafe or staying here. read more

The food was acceptable although the service and the charges were ridiculous. The lady taking our order was very rude and they charged me $6 to substitute a single small pancake instead of the toast that came with the meal. On top of that, they gave themselves a 20% tip without my knowledge. Additionally, we had to retrieve all of our silverware, condiments, ect. which is not worth the extensive tip. When I questioned the $15 unexpected up charge on our bill, the waitress was very condescending and rude. I would highly recommend eating anywhere other than here. read more

Welcome committee (woman ripping cigarettes at front door) was an apt prelude to what we found inside. We stopped in for a quick beer and bathroom break. I asked what kind of beer they had, bartender told me "go look what we have in cooler". He made no effort. We ordered 2 canned beers and 3 fountain sodas. The total was $31 before 20% service. Hmm. I was just at Dornans- 3 beers and 2 fountain sodas- $22 with a smile and a front row seat to the tetons. I then asked if my children could use bathroom. "Both of our bathrooms are out of service", is what i was told. We walked out. Heard this place was struggling but I always have given folks the benefit of the doubt. Bad job by me. Avoid. If you need a quick pit stop go to fireside. read more

Worst restaurant/cafe I have been to by far. It may look normal but the service is incredibly rude and they are out of everything all the time. The food is overpriced and disgusting. BTL was 15 dollars and had 2 slices of bacon. Fries left a pool of grease, flies were everywhere. read more

This place is not following covid protocols in the slightest. After seeing their lax approach, we were scared to eat here. I'd recommend finding other options versus eating here. read more

Food is slightly above average, but the scenery and setting makes the Buffalo Valley Cafe a great place for lunch. As a bonus they have WiFi available, in an area where only mountains and rivers exist. Sits just inside the entrance for the Tetons national forest and about a half hour from Yellowstone. There isn't much to find for dining in this area, so stop in if your in the area. read more

I have never before been refused a free glass of water in a restaurant until now. We were told if we wanted water, we had to purchase one of their reusable water bottles. I've also never been charged an automatic gratuity for a party of 2 people. We ended up spending $65 for 2 burgers and 2 beers. If this is the only place in town, go to another town! read more

My only complaints are the $5 takeout charge and the $2 for water. The food is more expensive than I expected but it's very good. It's a true Western bar inside. read more

I agree with other reviewers. Regret not reading the reviews before ordering here. It is definitely well overpriced for the kind of stuff that you get - super oily food, 15% gratuity applied automatically for terrible service. They don't even bring the cutlery, napkins and water with the order. All in all, my worst experience in the whole of Yellowstone/ Grand Teton area. read more

Honestly, not even worth a star. Residents around the area, YOU ARE SO MISSING OUT. All the travelers, avoid this place as much as possible and make sure you eat or buy food before coming here. Especially if you are staying at heart 6 for a night or two.. be prepared because this place might be your only choice. My family and I got fish and chips, buffalo burger, and cranberry salad (as I remember), and I've never been so angry for spending $58. All the fried food were soggy and soaked with oil, burger, too....juicy/watery, and salad had cranberry jelly on top instead of just dried cranberries. They also self-included the service charge...which I don't even wanna argue about. Girl, if you want tips, at least clean the tables read more

We came back to Jackson, Wy with our mouths watering, just thinking about revisiting The Buffalo Valley Cafe! We wondered if it had been a fluke, or would we get the same wonderful Burger and hand cut FF as before! We love the rustic ambiance, the food, the down to earth and friendly staff. We proudly added an autographed, dated dollar bill to the many others stapled to the ceiling and walls. It will be a must on our next visit!! read more

Heart 6 Ranch was highly recommended to visit for a horseback ride but it wasn't convenient for our trip, so we decided to visit the restaurant with hopes that the highly regarded welcome/hospitality. Couldn't be more wrong. Run by a bunch of teenagers with somewhat shitty attitudes, we got perfectly average food at high prices and had to help ourselves to all of the extras (ketchup, mayo, salt) and were told we'd have to pay $2 for a glass of water. Dissatisfied is an understatement. Don't visit. read more

DO NOT GO HERE!!!! Worst place I've ever been to!!! How do u burn eggs?! They were burnt and there were nothing but burnt scrapings, barley any eggs on plate. Cold bacon undercooked and burnt toast I didn't even take a bite. I just looked at it and sent it back. The tables were dirty and dishes left all over the place. I felt bad for the waitress she was left all alone. Had to wait for a coffee cup no clean dishes and the cook I'm starting to think was maybe not a cook at all. How to you serve raw bacon and burnt toast?! My goodness. Coffee was the safest thing to have read more

Terrible, terrible, terrible! First thing inside the door were four large dogs laying in the only walkway to enter the place. (More on the dogs below) Entered the bar area and was handed menus and told to come up to the bar when we were ready to order. Prices were extremely expensive! I ordered a Coke and was told they are out of Coke syrup. I ordered fried chicken and was told they didn't have any chicken or four other dinners on the menu. They require that you pay when you order. I pulled the cash out to pay the bill and the barmaid said "Card Only". I jokingly said, "I figured this was still America here in Wyoming." She said, "This company owns three places, one in New Zealand and none of them accept cash. The bank is 45 minutes away and we don't have time to deal with cash."Ok, no big deal really, just would be nice to know in advance. Place was very dirty. Floor, tables and chairs all were dirty. Silverware was clean. Back to the dogs...I am a dog lover, but not in a restaurant and certainly not around my food. We watched these two dogs going from table to table begging for food and staring the customers down as they ate. The barmaid went to get ice in a large, clear ice bucket and sat it on the floor to fill it with a scoop from the ice machine. The large white dog walked over to the ice bucket and stuck it's head inside to sniff it in between scoops of ice. We watched the barmaid carry the ice over and pour it in the ice bin. The food was bland and stale. Probably left from last year but I have no proof of course. Ordered a chicken finger dinner for the wife and little girl. I ordered the fish and chips. (There were no chips with my fish) It was typical bar food, everything fried and clearly old. read more
