There is a shelf right next to the cash register where you can grab whichever ones you want and bring it back to your table. We were already trying these before we had our food. The cafe itself is super cute and cozy with plants all around and different pieces of art. They even sell items from local artists including beef tallow lotion and earrings. They have a clean bathroom and an outdoor eating area. They have a vast menu for lunch where the sandwiches are names after dogs and a smaller menu for breakfast. We go there around 11 and were able to order from both so unsure if there is a time limit for either. The staff were so sweet and gave their recommendations and even though it's a cafe, they will bring out your food for you when it's ready. We did still bring our dishes back to the counter, unsure how they generally do that though. We asked for pickles and they kindly gave us some. The burritos were huge and filling but the sandwiches themselves were also good. Unsure what names were but I didn't love the one with the carrots in them. The staff recommended the breakfast sandwich with the biscuit, and although it was good, the biscuit was not the best choice. It broke so easily and made a mess. Unsure of the name of the drink but it was like a lemonade and it was delicious. Definitely would come back and try more hot sauce though

Tumbleweed was an okay breakfast experience, but nothing that really stood out…read more It's another order-at-the-counter setup where you're asked to tip before you've actually received any food or service--a practice I'm just not a fan of. I had the standard breakfast, which was served in a to-go carton even though we were eating there. The meal was okay overall, but the potatoes were not good. Service was just okay as well. We sat outside on the patio, but it was a hot day, so the outdoor seating wasn't particularly comfortable. Overall, it did the job for breakfast, but with so many places to choose from, there are definitely better options in Gardiner.

We ordered a few items off the menu and asked for pickles on the side, and they gave us both pickles and jalapeños. This cafe is right by the original Yellowstone sign, so it is a perfect stop before you enter the park. They have some Yellowstone merch in here, so I, of course, had to get a hat. The menu had a variety of sandwiches and desserts with their speciality Huckleberry. It started to get pretty busy after we got in, but we were still able to get a seat in the back for all of us. The sandwiches were great, and some came with chips. They were an easy, quick eat that didn't leave too much of a mess. If I weren't full, I would've wanted to try some ice cream cause we did see them bring in like 24 huge tubs of ice cream.

Thank you very much for that. And my kid said the employees were very nice to her.

We ate outside on the sidewalk patio, which offers a nice atmosphere just outside the gates of Yellowstone. It's a great spot to sit outside, enjoy the weather, and take in the activity of Gardiner. One thing I'm personally not a fan of is being asked to leave a tip when ordering, before you've actually received any food or service. I know this has become increasingly common at counter-service restaurants, but it's a practice I could definitely do without. Overall, a solid spot to grab a bite while visiting Gardiner and Yellowstone.

The food was ready in maybe 10 minutes max despite the large order size. There is not much paradox of choice going on here with just two protein options - turkey and pulled pork - and five or so sides including cheesy corn, collard greens, coleslaw, and baked beans. The turkey was great - moist, with some nice additions (apple maybe?). The pork was fine but a tiny bit dry. The cheesy corn was a tad oily but the rest of the sides were great, especially the collard greens. It's located in an outdoor area where there is an open-air bar and corn hole, so you can essentially be at the barbecue place and an outdoor bar at the same time. Overall, a few tiny tweaks could be made to the food but it was a very enjoyable experience and soul-comforting food.

Somehow I got lucky and there was no line when we showed up. That hadn't been the case when we drove by and tried to visit earlier in our trip. I had an iced latte and my husband an iced Americano. Both were very good and you can tell they take time brewing their shots. We also tried a breakfast sandwich on a jalapeño bagel and bacon, and it was very good! Tasted like it was out of a bagel shop in NYC. We also ordered a breakfast burrito with bacon and it was not your average burrito. It was more of a wrap, but it was GOOD! And the salsa was fire!
