Really enjoyed this place! Visiting from England and loved the friendly welcome and delicious food. The portions were great, and the Papa Bear was the best breakfast I had in West Yellowstone. The homemade cinnamon roll was epic. Don't miss this place! read more

We were visiting the area and visited two days in row if that tells you anything. Both days we had excellent service and both servers offered great choices since we wanted to try different things. I can highly recommend the pancakes. We had the sweet cream and the Cinnamon and the cinnamon were the only thing ordered twice. Highly recommend those. And the crunchy bacon was delicious. The parking is available in a small lot beside the restaurant or on the street in front of the restaurant. I will definitely be returning when I'm in the area again. read more

SO good!! this was easily one of the best breakfasts my husband and I have had in a while. The pancakes were amazing, but the sausage was honestly my favorite! Everything tasted fresh, comforting, and exactly what you want from a good breakfast spot. I also loved the atmosphere. It had that cozy, classic small town breakfast cafe feel that just fits West Yellowstone perfectly. It was busy and lively, but still felt warm and welcoming. The service was kind and quick, especially considering how busy they were. They got us seated pretty quickly, but I would definitely recommend going close to opening, especially during the busy summer tourism season. We went closer to fall, so I think we lucked out with it being a little slower! My husband loved it just as much as I did. Such a great breakfast spot in West Yellowstone, and somewhere we would absolutely come back to! read more

This was a great breakfast option for us. We appreciated how early they open as well. The customer service is fantastic here. I wish you could order à la carte here. I can't have eggs and got charged $15 for a classic breakfast which was essentially bacon and hashbrowns since I couldn't have eggs. We ate here both mornings we were here. Hubby said the coffee was good. They have gluten free bread for toast. read more

Giving this place a high 4! Running Bear Pancake House is a delightful local gem that offers a delightful breakfast experience. The buttermilk pancakes were incredibly light, buttery, and cakey, making them a true treat. The two-egg breakfast was simply amazing, featuring a mouthwatering buffalo sausage with a smoky flavor. Our server was prompt and friendly, ensuring that our needs were met. To add to our enjoyment, we decided to grab a mini loaf of apple cinnamon pecan bread and Boiseberry syrup to take home. Overall, it was a fantastic visit to Running Bear Pancake House. Thank you for making us feel right at home! read more

Stopped by Running Bear Pancake House during our Yellowstone trip and this ended up being such a cozy little breakfast stop. I ordered the breakfast burrito with sausage, green bell peppers, onions, and eggs with buttery hash browns on the side, plus the soup of the day which was the Tuscan soup, and both were really good. One of my friends ordered the cinnamon roll pancake, another got the classic breakfast with buffalo sausage (which was surprisingly delicious), and the other ordered a meatless breakfast burrito. Everything at the table looked fresh and hearty. I also loved how easy checkout was. They bring the receipt directly to the table with a QR code so paying was quick and convenient, and our server was super accommodating by splitting the bill four ways with no issue. The restaurant itself has that cute cozy cabin-style feel, plus they sell fun T-shirts and souvenirs inside. Extra shoutout for helping me wrap my breakfast burrito to go before our flight. They brought me foil paper so I could keep it warm, tossed it in my bag, and yep... I ended up eating it on the plane later. Definitely a solid five-star breakfast stop while visiting Yellowstone! read more

This was at the top of the list of breakfast places to try in West Yellowstone so we decided to try it one morning. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but the inside is quite cozy. I had the French toast and I really liked it - good portion size and not too heavy. Others in our party got eggs Benedict and the breakfast burrito and enjoyed them. read more

Stopped in for a late breakfast. The place was busy and we had a short wait. Staff was very friendly. Ordered a Monte Cristo. When it arrived, it was not pan fried and had little meat in it. It was regular French toast made into a sandwich. The hash-browns that came with the meal were cold and lacked flavor. We live in town; will not be back... read more

Lovely breakfast diner vibes. Best meal we had in West Yellowstone. Homemade peach pecan mini loaf was amazing with the whipped butter - highly recommend!! Breakfast burrito wasn't too big and overwhelming and tasted fresh with the peppers and onions. No wait for 5 people on a Tuesday at 9:30am with plenty of street parking. read more

Wonderful experience! Got here on a Sunday at 830am and only ~10 min wait for 2 and a toddler. It was pretty busy so if you don't want to wait, get there early. I got the eggs benedict and a cinnamon roll pancake. Both were super flavorful Our daughter had a kids breakfast meal and she enjoyed it. Super family friendly environment. Our server was also so sweet! read more

Went with a party of six and was seated ina. Timely manner. My youngest is obsessed with the cinnamon rolls. I have to eat gluten free and once I mentioned it to the server she was super helpful and mentioned they had gluten free bread which I didn't see mentioned in the menu. I got an omlete, hashbrowns and toast and all were delicious. My aunt got the club sandwich and it was huge. Busy place but friendly service and a good value for West Yellowstone. read more

Running Bear was one of my top 3 meals while in West Yellowstone. It's a very popular spot, so don't be surprised if you have to wait a bit for a table. I opted for the blueberry pancakes and a side of bacon. They went a little heavy on the blueberries, but I enjoyed them nonetheless. The bacon was cooked perfectly. If I were a local, I'd definitely return. read more

Great breakfast (omelette & pancakes) & coffee good also! Service was friendly but slow

This was, by far, the least accommodating restaurant I've ever been to. We arrived early, and although the place was virtually empty, the waitress insisted on seating us at a small table right in front of the register and entrance/exit to the kitchen. We asked for a different table, before actually sitting down. She insisted she couldn't sit us anywhere else. Within five minutes, she sat 6 other two tops at much better locations within the restaurant. When we tried to give our order, we asked if we could substitute the bacon in the breakfast quesadilla for elk sausage, willing to pay any uncharged. She insisted the kitchen couldn't do that because the sausage is too big. I asked if the kitchen could chop it up? Nope! Disappointed. read more

If you don't mind the wait - it's pretty good. I had the French toast. A lot of food but reasonably priced. Staff was great.

We went for a late breakfast on a Thursday while on vacation. Great food, service, and we left full and satisfied. The diner has plenty of 2 and 4-person tables, but fewer larger tables. We had a party of 5, which ended up a bit hard to sit. But that wasn't entirely the staff's problem. A group of 5 people was lingering long after their meal and I could tell the staff wanted to sit us there.... Eventually, we were sat at a table for 6 when it opened up. I wasn't all that worried, primarily because I could tell the staff was doing the worrying for me. read more
