After a long day fishing and wildlife viewing in YNP, this was the perfect spot for beer and pizza. Thank you!

We walked in after a tiring day at the park just to grab a pizza to go, but loved the set up of the place with the bustling crowd and everyone looking like they are having a great time at the bar and at the pool table and foosball . Ended up spending some time at the bar. The bartender was cool . We took a beer on tap suggested by him which was pretty great too. Ordered tree hugger veg pizza and chicken tenders which were both good. ( there were some fries thrown in the chicken fingers box which was a pleasant guilt free surprise for me ) . All Pizzas come in standard 16inch sizes . read more

After quickly getting us seated and bringing our drinks, I actually had to stand up and wave my arms to get our server to come over and take our order. The ribs and cole slaw were great, but the macaroni salad was flavorful but so SALTY I couldn't eat it. read more

S Awesome pizzas, fantastic fries and the best chicken Caesar I've had anywhere. Also had a great selection of local beers to try. Service and friendliness was top notch. A real treasure if in the area and wish it was in my hometown. read more

We are visiting Lamar Valley in the Yellowstone National Park and staying in Cooke city. We reached late last night around 8:35 pm and our host told us about Miners saloon for dinner. Great ambience and our hostess Nicole was amazing. She had the warmest smile and was very helpful overall. We ordered buffalo wings, kids cheese pizza and one make your own pizza. The wings were amazing, I would give 10/10 great taste and crispness. Pizzas were fine too. My husband had an old fashioned and he loved it! Highly recommended by him We might go again tonight as kids want to try new dishes on Menu! read more

We had the worst experience I could imagine at the Miners Saloon in Cooke City, MT. We arrived just after they had opened about, 4;00 PM. We were not greeted or seated, then we were told we would have to wait. We waited, 45 mins later, we had a table. Eventually we were able to order. Over an hour and a half later, our food arrived. While we were waiting, we were told, that our order, was somehow lost, and they did comp one of our pizzas. ...but the truth is, the atmosphere was hostile, the barman was a troll, the service was an example of incompetence. If I had it to do over, I would have never walked in the door of the Miners Saloon. read more

Great spot to wet your whistle and grab a bite after a long day in the park. Recently spend a few nights in Cooke City, staying in the Alpine Motel. The Miner's Saloon across the street was a nightly routine, grabbing a local beer, talking with the staff and locals, and other fellow travelers, and grabbing a bite. The Caesar chicken salad wrap was delicious. read more

We were staying across the street at the Alpine. This was the closes place to eat. As the menu were put down, we were informed of the items they were out of. As I looked at the menu, it made me giggle. Lots of things crossed off, what wasn't were the items she mentioned. The answer is they have pizza and burgers. The bison burgers were very good and the fries were hot. The beer was cold and the whiskey strong. All the makings of a good time. Bring cash. Park your attitude and just enjoy. read more

Miners Saloon - If you decide to post a bad review, you review may get the honors of being on the " we suck" board. - Bars Near Me - Cooke City, Montana

So good! I'll be honest.....it was the only place open but we loved it and ended up going back 2 out of the 3 days we were in Cooke City! Service was great, food was good and the beer was cold. The pizza was our favorite! read more

We had the burger and the bison burger. Both were cooked properly and the home made fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. For a terrific burger and fries, you'll enjoy this place. CASH ONLY read more

Disappointed. This was our second visit this season, the first being the day or so after opening. The employees had masks on, and the place was busy enough for us to be seated in the back room...along with a loud, drunk, video-slot playing patron who obviously needed attention. We ordered the large double pepperoni; sausage; Canadian bacon and cheese pizza. Same as we did last visit. The crust was about an 1/8" thick; barely any sauce, not much cheese, and definitely not double pepperoni. Burnt and just not very good. We ordered a few PBRs with which to wash it down. Since Cooke City has very few options, you'd hope they'd make the most of what they serve, and keep standards up. Last time, the cook came out flinging some pizza dough while cooking to some awesome kitchen Jazz music. Didn't hear that this time. Maybe that's a clue. read more

We rolled into the "coolest town in Montana" Cooke, MT. We were staying at the Super 8, which I also reviewed. I asked the front desk clerk which place was the best. He recommended the Miner Saloon and the Bistro. I was hungry for pizza so saloon it was! Place looked inviting on the outside and was packed on the inside. Good sign. They have an over flow room with plenty of seats as well as several gambling machines. We decided to sit at the bar. We were promptly served drinks by the bartender. Water tasted great. The menu was short but had enough selection for those not interested in pizza. We ordered the large pizza and it was certainly a large one! Value is very goo itd. Bartender allow us to order half and half. We ordered the Redneck (all meat) and the Hawaiian. Plenty of toppings. . They serve thin crust pizza and it is home made. Baked to crunchy perfection. Reminded me of crushed saltines. I will return for pizza Pizza served in under 10 minutes and the place was busy... read more

Our second visit this summer season; the second not as good as the first. Ordered a large double pepperoni; sausage; Canadian bacon and cheese pizza. Barely had any toppings what so ever and the crust was burnt. You can only blame so many things on Covid. Plus, the loud-mouthed drunk playing the slot machine didn't help the ambiance. Also, please fix the toilet in the ladies room; both times we have been here this summer season (with a few weeks off in between) the toilet handle has been broken. As much as we like Cooke City and Silver Gate, doubt we will be back to Miners... read more

This establishment is basically a hole in the wall like a dive bar good food ok drinks your wait time for anything is a good wait water leaking through the Walls and celling one day the casino was open the next closed I asked why people were winning too much lol everyone is stressed out be informed on Yelp where you go out too sometimes a surprise isn't the best kind read more

If you're staying in silver gate or cooke city don't hesitate to grab dinner here after a day in the park. Fantastic beer selection on tap and in cans. Menu is very diverse and can cater to pretty much anyone. I got the cali chicken sand which and other got the burger. My sandwich was great and they all loved their burgers. Salad it game with was great. Mostly made up of arugula. Balsamic dressing was made in house and delicious. Waiter was quick to fill your glass and make sure you were taken care of. read more

Stayed at the motel next door after visiting Yellowstone and decided to check this place out! The food and drinks were great! The bison burger was amazing! The pizza was also good! The decorations inside were very cute and they had lots of games and a pool table! Would definitely come back if we come back to Yellowstone! read more

Great place, courteous staff, clean and welcoming. We had pizza, best we have had in a while. Drinks were right there. Our server made sure we felt welcome read more

Pizza here was pretty good! We got the redneck! Only one size. It was a little pricey, but everything is in Cooke!

Considering it's location in a very small mountain town on the northeast corner of Yellowstone National Park we were pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is lively and the wait staff is fun. The menu includes an unexpected array of items from chicken wings and pizza to summer rolls and banh mi sandwich. We got the summer rolls, which had braised shiitake mushrooms and homemade pickled vegetables - very tasty. The sticky wings and bison burger were good as well! We were pizza'd our by the time we went there, but they're known for their pizzas, which are served even late night. read more

I have never been in a dirtier eating area in my life. The carpeted floor was greasy and looked like it hadn't been vacuumed in a month. The table tops had been cleaned, but the supports below had dried condiments and more grease coating them. My husband insisted that it was ambiance, but I felt it was filth. He ate and I had a Coke. read more

Went here for a quick dinner upon the recommendation from our inn (antler inn great place to stay!) the pizza is fantastic and the drinks are excellent too. Our server, Andy, was super nice and his service great. We saddled up to the bar after we ate; the bartender was complete tool -that's the reason it's only a 4 star review. Which, maybe he doesn't care about because unless you're using your hotel wi-fi you won't get the internet in Cooke City! read more

If you are lucky enough to be in the Cooke City area make sure you stop by the Miners Saloon. Solid drinks, friendly staff and arguably the best pizza in Montana! read more

Good food and drinks but some of the bartenders are awful. We've had bad experiences with a couple of the workers multiple times.

My wife and I were in town for a couple of nights for our anniversary. Looked to try Miners our last night, and as we walked to it during a late-season blustery and snowy evening we wondered as we approached if it was even open. Just looked dark inside, though the open sign said otherwise. Open the door, tunes playing, people talking and laughing; it was on! We were told by the bartender that their pizza was the "best in the country". Since we had heard about their pizzas, and had a couple go walking by once we were inside, that was the direction we went. My wife almost fell off her chair with first bite, in pure pizza ecstasy;) Yes, it was excellent! Best in the country??? Well it could be right up there. And, being in Cooke City, MT; well that is pretty damn cool! Good selection of craft beers, wife had a couple of solid gin and tonics. Great vibe this night, good tunes playing, several groups playing foosball and pool, or just hanging-out. It is cash only, but hey, we have to pay for it eventually anyway. Sounds like their burgers are solid too; will give one of those a shot next time in town. read more

No doubt it is the best meal we have had during our trip to Grand Teton and Yellowstone! We are from Hong Kong and have travelled around the world, we believe this place offers the top tier quality and taste, even among tier one cities like London and New York. read more

A really neat place inside with a big beautiful bar (definitely ask for the story!) the pizza was really good and they have a nice selection of Montana beers. read more

I found myself in Cooke City one snowy night after a drive through Yellowstone and stopped at Miners Saloon for a bit to eat and a beer. It was Dec. 30th and a lot of people were in town with snow mobiles. I was talking to the guy next to me at the bar and he asked if I was riding and I told him I just got in town and this is the first time I've ever seen a snow mobile. He told me it was a big party during New Years weekend and that I should stay to check it out. I had planned to only be in town for an hour or so but I was having a good time and eating some great food in Miners Saloon and before I know it, it was snowing so I walked across the street and booked a room. After a shower I walked back to Miners Saloon and didn't leave until closing and had a great time. The food was excellent and a lot of it and a good beer selection. One bartender was really slow and the other seemed to be on coke or something but she was really cool and fast. There was one girl that had earrings all over her face (I think a bar back and I forgot her name) that was really cool and fun to talk to. I will come back to Miners Saloon next time I'm in town and would recommend it to all. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants and bars on earth. Located just outside the north-eastern entrance of Yellowstone this is a gem located in the depths of grizzly country. Chances are when you visit most everyone there will be locals, giving the visitor a great opportunity to glimpse the small town life. Residing in LA, I love visiting this small town hangout to remember not every restaurant is concerned with funneling as many people in and out as possible. If ever I was to live in a small town, the locals at Miners Saloon have convinced me this would be a great place to relocate myself. In fact our lovely waitress was from Pasadena. I never cease to come away with fond memories when visiting Cooke City's Miners Saloon. My friends and I typically order two servings of their elk sliders as an appetizer and then order two pizzas (the best sliders and pizza on earth if I may be so bold). One of my favorite things about Yellowstone is that the Miners Saloon is so near. Do your stomach a favor and visit this place. Your muscles and mind need rejuvenation after a long day of roughing it in the great outdoors. read more

We stopped in for a couple of brews and decided we were hungry. Got a pizza. It was very good. The waitress was very friendly and great at her job. We will be back again. read more

There were 6 of us visiting this beautiful area, we had heard about the burgers in this place how awesome they were and we were not disappointed. However our waitress was very rude, eye rolls, sarcastic, hateful. This would have been our best meal out if she was more friendly. I had communication with the bar tender also and he was amazing and friendly though. read more

Fun place. Bar tender hooked me up with out of state college football game on a busy Saturday. Ate there every night. Limited menu but food was fantastic!! read more

This is an utter gem. We live in the Bay Area and enjoy fine dining. The quality of the food at this non descript bar is astounding. Apparently, the chef is also operating a restaurant in SF and trying for a Michelin star. The pizza was brick oven style and delicious. Better than any pizza in the Peninsula. Fried chicken sandwich was the real deal. Don't miss this place! Thanks read more

So I've been coming to cooke for years and eat and drink here at least a few nights over our trips. After the last visit I will never spend another dime in this establishment again. We ate there the night before and had drinks and our waitress was good. I left a 20% tip in cash(cash only establishment) the next night my wife and I were having a drink and our waitress from the night before was falling off her bar stool drunk(off shift). As she walked to the bathroom she threw a shoulder in me and said "thanks for the great tip last night" confused I confronted her and she began calling me a liar and insisted I didn't leave her a tip the night before. I said yes I did I left an $18 tip and she was livid insisting I did not tip her. There was no sense in arguing with a drunk so I told her to talk to her co workers for not tipping her out at the end of the night and she kept on so we left. I do not appreciate being called a liar and calling out a customer for something as stupid as a tip on or off shift at the same place you work is not a great way to represent the establishment or yourself. I come to cooke to get away from everything. I don't come to get involved in petty drama. If you get the waitress with feathers in her hair, I suggest you request someone else. The miners won't get another dollar out of me. And one last thing.... be normal and make ranch dressing an option. read more

So good. The staff, the building, and the music are wonderful. Incidentally, if you visit the Miners Saloon, please take a look at the wonderful Yelp reviews posted near the restrooms. Also, eat either the pizza or the chicken sandwich or both. read more

Cash only - no credit cards accepted. The wooden bar is beautiful, and the restaurant is filled with kitschy memorabilia on the walls and ceiling (very entertaining). The bartender was friendly and shared local news (about a car accident involving a cow). The burgers are tasty and there's a good selection of local brews. Fun place for lunch or dinner just outside Yellowstone National Park. read more

This place is a dump. We stopped in Monday since we were stuck staying in this unfriendly town while on a motorcycle tour. The bartender during the day was more interested in socializing with a regular, the only guy in the place. They don't have working bathrooms, was told there's a port a potty outside. The drinks were weak, the beer was lukewarm. We left after the first round, would have stayed there drinking all night should they have had a better attitude. read more

This bar used to be cool. Today, One of their staff screamed obscenities at my group after a few of us moved the foosball table after a waitress ask us to do so because the lights in top of it were out. The guy seem ready to start a fight along with the bar tender even though we were very respectful and explained our actions. No way to treat customers under any circumstance, this guy should seek help. Stay away from this place!!!! read more

Really good food. Excellent ambience and live music. Servers were very kind. Accommodated our request for another pizza even after the kitchen closed. read more
