    Rolls and huckleberry margaritas
    Dang L.

    Good food and cocktail. Huckleberry margarita: 4.5 stars. well balanced. Must get. I enjoyed the salt on the rim. Just the way it is grained and flavored. Brussel sprouts appetizer: 5 stars!!! slightly crispy but not burnt! Cheese and bacon balanced out the brussel sprouts with flavors and texture. Rainbow trout: 3 stars. Fish head great consistency but somewhat simple and bland. It was ok for me but was not a hot with the rest of the group. Smoked brisket: 4.5 stars. Must get, especially if you are a meat lover. Pick your two sides. Plenty of food. Shrimp pasta: 3 stars. Plenty of food for 2. A little heat but a little bland too.

    Moran View Chopped Salad

    I ordered the Moran View Chopped Salad and it was delicious! All freshly cut ingredients and packed with flavor. Everything on the plate is organized very nicely into a beautiful presentation, so you're able to mix the ingredients together that you want mixed. I was extremely impressed and happy with the amount of food in the salad. It covered the whole plate with tomatoes, corn, onions, cheese, shredded cheese, an avocado, an egg, and of course lettuce covered with Chipotle dressing. Our meals came very quickly, within 10mins and the staff was very accommodating knowing we spent the day hiking the park. Not only was this a delicious meal, but it was the cheapest on the otherwise expensively-priced menu. Highly recommend getting it if you're staying at the cabins or in the area for dinner.

    Wow! On an adventure of life and visiting Grand Teton National Park!! The Colter campsite recommended this place for dinner. I ordered the ribs. Wow, talking about amazing you know they're good when I fall right off the bone when you barely touch them. Definitely sit at a high top as well! Good vibe!! Great bartender/waitress, she was by herself, but did a great job for being as busy as she was.

    Choices are slim if you stay in this area, especially with covid and the limited seating. We were in line when the restaurant opened and with maybe 8-10 couples ahead of us, we still had to wait a good 30min to be seated. I'm not sure if there are limitations in WY on percentage of people allowed, but I would say it wasn't more than 25% full at any point. The food was ok, I'd almost say solid, since we had worse in the parks, but still nothing to write home about. Our server was very sweet though and took good care of her tables. Breakfast was also pretty expensive and my husband was trying to get his burrito to go, but the hostess said it's not possible without officially sitting at a table?! Well, he sat down and ordered his breakfast with a to-go box, very odd.

    Biscuits & gravy, over easy eggs & hash browns

    Walking in, the place was playing country music & had such an old time country feel. Felt like home! Our server Regina was so sweet & she checked on us a few times. I had the biscuits & gravy (one of my favorite meals) & I was very satisfied!

    Best food place to visit if you're traveling through the National Parks. The best part has to be either the bread rolls or the fact that this business status open late for their travelers! Although we had a mix-up with our Family Style dinner, the manager was quick to fix our issue and gave us a free huckleberry cheesecake in return! Would return here soon

    Cheesesteak (?) and mac and cheese.

    My friend and I were desperate after a failed campfire and burnt soup can dinner so we came here during the summer. Overpriced tourist food offering takeout during COVID. $15.90 or so after tax for a cheesesteak with a side of mac and cheese (? It's been a while so I'm not sure what we ordered). The mac and cheese was the saltiest but somehow most lacking in cheese flavor mac and cheese I've ever eaten. -1/10, would not recommend. The cheesesteak was much better in comparison.

    Huckleberry Margarita (very tasty but expecting more for $14! Is this Vegas?)

    Very tasty food, have stopped in for lunch and dinner and the cafe since we're staying in the cabins. The service is phenomenal, everyone from hostess to bar backs and service people are super friendly and welcoming. Our server was RJ and he was great and knew how to give us fast and efficient service with our little guys. I got the chicken Caesar and my wife got the ribs while our little guy got Mac and cheese with veggies. Food was tasty and flavorful. Only critiques was my grilled chicken for salad was pretty dry, the huckleberry margarita though delicious was pricey for a very small glass, and it got very warm on the outer tables where there was no fans. Also the cheese curds were a side for lunch but there own app for dinner?? Anyways, would definitely recommend for any meal, and definitely have to get their pizza at some point too!

    We just got drinks cuz the menu is quite pricey. The guy next to us at the bar had steak with Chimichurri and said it was awesome. Our bartender was cool! I had the Huckleberry Margarita and the other Tequila drink I forgot what its called but they were awesome. Bartender let me connect to her bluetooth speaker so I could introduce them to some Texas country. We had a great time hanging out there before returning to our campsite

    Slice of pepperoni pizza

    Average tourist lodge just north of Jackson Hole, inside the Grand Teton National Park. During the pandemic, they were taking orders from 2 windows and bringing the orders out to a table and announcing your name. This was the only lodge that was open in the park, so there was quite a long line. The pricing is way too high for the quality of food you get, but that's the tourist trap for you. I had the Veggie Thai Wrap with potato wedges and Mac & Cheese. I would have liked to add meat but they weren't allowing any modifications during COVID. I also had a slice of pepperoni pizza as well. Basically the whole order was basic overpriced cafeteria food, which is what we expected. They have quite a few tables scattered around outside, which was perfect. A lot of people seemed to be taking their meals back to their cars/campers. The staff was friendly but they did not want you walking to the window until they completely sanitized everything, which was kinda comical.

    Good food and service. It's in the Park, but better than other options. Would certainly go back.

    After a day of driving from YNP and hiking, I thought SRB would be packed with tourists on a Thu…read moreevening... esp with World Cup viewing. The pub isn't on the Jackson town center, so that mitigates some traffic. Nonetheless the brewery was decently crowded. Fully menu service at the bar, upstairs or downstairs. Seating is first come, first served. Nice mix of tourists and regulars assembled for football, brews and lively socializing. Fun music playlist could still be heard despite the large TV screen. The space feels both contemporary yet a Jackson Hole institution. While the menu features pub food, I shortlisted a number of gourmet contenders. Ultimately the "slash and burn trout" was irresistible. You'll love this dish if you like a variety of colors, flavors and textures. I meant to 86 the fried leeks, but they added crispy fun to the tender fish, decadent pork belly, sweet corn & roasted tomatoes & fresh radish sprouts. This plate qualifies for culinary genius.

    I am so glad we tried Snake River Brewing for lunch! I wrote…read moreit off as having bar food, but coming off a morning & afternoon of hiking & playing on Snow King Mountain we were starving & this was close. What a gem! The menu has some really great, and healthy options! Even my hubby tried a salad and really liked it. The portions were filling too. The view from the top deck was mesmerizing. There is outdoor patio seatinf on the ground floor too and more seating inside than looks possible. The service was spot in. Iced tea stayed full and she came around just enough to check un amd not make us feel rushed. Definitely a must try spot while Jackson!
