The burgers have always received high marks, so I was looking forward to eating at the Bird for the first time. My friend and I arrived at 11:40, ordered around 11:45, and then waited, waited and waited. After close to an hour, the waitress arrived and told us that she thought she had put the order through, but the kitchen hadn't received it.  So we waited another 15 minutes or so,  with the waitress bringing us a basket of potato chips to tide us over. Our water glasses were never refilled, we were never checked in on.   When our plates finally arrived, mine had a mountain of french fries, all cold and soggy. My friend had a salad, overfilling the plate with fresh greens. We thought we might be comped a bit, but the wait staff was indifferent, and clearly very busy. The hamburger did deserve high marks, but to me the negatives outweighed the positives:   4* for the burger, 1* for wait staff,( acknowledging that every retail establishment is short staffed)  1* for atmosphere,1* for distance from town. If you want a fabulous burger I would recommend either Local or Street Food, and not make the trek to The Bird. read more

After reading reviews on Yelp decided to try this place out. The service was ok, but the $30.00 steak , sautéed spinach and mashed potato dinner was awful. The steak was so tough I literally had a hard time cutting through it, all grisly.....awful read more

This place is super laid back with excellent beer and burgers! There are plenty of TV screens for everyone to watch their favorite game and the view from the patio is just incredible. I recommend the patty melt! read more

Huge portions. The fries were superb! The schnitzel was HUGE and was perfect for 2 (maybe 3) kids to share. Amazing view from the balcony. As well as dog friendly outside. Very casual atmosphere. read more

With a name like "The BIrd", you'd think they might have some chicken sandwich offerings on the menu....no such luck. Would love to see some chicken options or a turkey patty. Good fries but for those of us who don't eat beef, chicken or turkey options would be welcome. read more

We were on the road and a friend recommended this place and holy heck it was amazing! I ordered the "bushy beaver" burger and it was one of the BEST veggie burgers I've ever had! My Dad got the wings and said that they were quite hot but really really good! My Mom ordered the "birdhouse" burger and said it was super juicy and perfectly cooked. Also the staff was very friendly and super accommodating :) Overall this restaurant just has really great vibes and great food! read more

The Bird - Veiw of mountains from parking lot! - American Near Me - Jackson, Wyoming

If you are looking for a local watering hole in Jackson Hole as oppose to the restaurants and bars filled with Jackson Hole vacationers then the Bird is where you should find yourself. A direct quote from the menu "The Bird is a laid back spot with a staff of humans who really and truly give a damn about you having a good time". Not only is that true, but I highly suggest reading the entire menu because it is hilarious. The employees must also be half comedians. We visited on a Tuesday and that is their wing night, the special is 8 wings for $5. I jumped on that. When the wings arrived and I took a bite I was blown away. The wings are actually good, really amazing, I was so impressed. I can't wait to go back and order up the wings, even if it isn't wing night. They are truly cooked to perfection, they are not slimy, they are not over done, they are cooked just right, maybe Goldilocks cooked them? Go, read the menu, order the wings, and enjoy the view over the expansive back patio. read more

Good stuff. Loaded Philly cheese steak and a BBQ burger ordered medium. The burger was served on an English muffin for something different. Decent! We enjoyed everything and the service was good. The menu had a bunch of little quips on it that made us chuckle. We'd go back. read more

I wanted to go here last November but they were closed for the season. Spent the day in Yellowstone and this was the perfect place to end the day. Burgers, bratwurst and chicken wings along with a great list of draft beers. For what it is it delivers!!! Add the great view, fun casual atmosphere and it's a homerun. I only go to Jackson twice a year, but I'll make sure to stop here every time. read more

Having grown up in Jackson and basically spending any free time in my adult life here the best burgers in this town are definitely at the Bird. I had a burger that was hot not greasy at all juicy and delicious the party I went with we all had different things and every burger was out of this world service is fabulous it's a fun place such a perfect oasis of away from all the tourists in town read more

This place is amazing! It's a cute little bar scene with an awesome outdoor patio with an even better view. It was kind of hard to find at first when in the parking lot since its tucked all the way in the back. We then walked in and seated ourselves as that what a sign said. It was so nice out but the mid day sun made it too hot to sit outside :( wish they had awnings out there. I order the big crack and my dad ordered the dirty burger. They didn't specify what was in my burger but just said it was thee best so I just decided to give it a try and it was a BIG SLOPPY BEAUTIFUL MESS. I would need like 3 mouths to be able to have it wide enough but it was fantastic. My dad and I both cleaned our plates. Such an awesome little place and everyone must've been in the national parks because it was pretty empty for lunch time. This was recommended by a local white water rafting company and would've never heard of it if it weren't for them. They even have free shuttle service for when you get too turnt which it pretty lit. Oh and fries are bomb too goodbye read more

This place is the antidote for all that is challenging about JH right now. Fantastic service, great good and drink, and a view that makes you realize why you came to JH in the first place. Thanks Will and team for a great evening. read more

The place was not packed, but clearly was understaffed. Service was spotty, though friendly. I tried to order a Diet Pepsi to drink, but the owner told us he didn't serve diet soda because he thought it was poison. Poison? Sure, it's not healthy, but neither is the greasy, fried food he serves. Everything in moderation, dear sir. I reluctantly ordered a water. The glass was dirty when it arrived. Awesome. Husband ordered a beer. He was very excited to see their tap selection-- it had some of his favorite imports. Reading the menu, the owner sure does like to write. He rambles on and on about cooking meat the right way and that if you think you know how things should be cooked, that in fact you don't. I was kind of put off by it and I'm not even a meat connoisseur. He also justifies why he may be short-staffed. Apparently, business is unpredictable (welcome to running a business). Anyway, I ordered a Philly cheese steak (after seeing the picture on here) and my husband ordered a breakfast burger. These arrived after 45 minutes. Sadly, the table of four next to us was there before us and got their food about five minutes after us. During our wait, I really didn't see much food leaving the kitchen. The food was pretty stinking amazing, but very greasy (at least the cheese steak was). The pickles are clearly homemade as they were firm (cucumber firm) and tasted very cucumber-ey and super salty. Fries are also hand cut. Bacon was cooked, yet soft (perfect according to my picky husband). Parking was a pain. The restaurant appears to be nestled in an apartment complex, with many spots reserved for tenants only. We had to park around back. Prices were average. My cheese steak was $15, the breakfast burger was $10, and a pint of fancy beer was around $7. Overall, great food. Not sure it was worth the wait. read more

Pete the bartender extra ordinaire lol was awesome. It took him a few to realize we weren't complete stick in the muds. Philly Cheese steak was good and wings were great!!! Definitely driving outside of the immediate town to get locals feel. read more

Was really looking forward to trying this place after seeing it listed as having the "Best Burger in Wyoming"! Well, I haven't had many burgers in Wyoming, but I can say that it is one of the best burgers I have EVER had! We started off on the back patio which has one of the most gorgeous views ever! So it was a great setting for "date night". We started off with some wings...delicious! The sauce was spicy and tangy and you could tell by the smell, that they were tasty! I ordered the #%@# Bird. I was a bit worried about pickled beets being on my burger, but they added just the right touch of sweetness along with the egg and bacon. I also like the fact that they're served on an english muffin...less bread to take away from the deliciousness of the perfectly cooked medium rare patty. The fries were crispy and cooked just right! All in all...this place is awesome! read more

Went with our group for lunch The view from the deck is great beer selection was ok Food was awesome along with the service Will be back next time in town read more

After very little deliberation, I give the Bird the 'middle finger!' Can you not award a half-star on Yelp? Okay; one star for view and potential . . . the rest of these reviews must be written by friends because this place is more pretentious than than "The Grille," has worse service than McDonalds, their food is mediocre to good, and their beers are way too over priced for their location. Also, BS on the Yelp $$ for price range because it's more like $$$$ for mediocrity. Did I mention they think they are way cooler than you? Oh, well they totally believe they are so you had better be in the bro-brah crowd to slip seamlessly into this establishment and suck down on their bones. Want a good burger and a beer in Jackson; just ask anyone who works here where to go and 9.3141596535 times outta 10 they'll mention someplace other than the Bird. Fek their free shuttle to nowhere South, pricey beers, and $13 burgers because you could stay in town or hit up the West Bank, anywhere other than the industrial zone of JH until they change their attitude and prices . . . did I mention one star for views? Scuttle this one! read more

Best veggie burgers in town! Don't let the gruff menu fool you. Buried at the bottom of the burgers section you may spot something called the "Bushy Beaver." Read on and you will discover that this is actually a veggie burger hidden among the sea of meat which comprises the majority of the menu. ORDER THIS BURGER. Especially if you are a vegetarian. You won't find a better veggie burger for 500 miles. My girlfriend and I are both vegetarians and we love this burger. The only downsides (for us) with this restaurant are that there aren't more veggie options (I know, that's not really their style) and that it's kind of expensive. Not ridiculously overpriced, just a little on the high end. The beer also seems to be priced a bit high. But it's definitely worth a trip there if you're gonna be in town. One warning: for some reason if you want cheese on your veggie burger it will cost you $2. Seriously. $2 for a slice of cheddar. That's crazy. But, luckily it's really good without cheese. read more

My husband and I went to The Bird for dinner on a snowy friday night, and it was a great meal with awesome value for our money. This place really turned out to be a fun joint. We were slightly hesitant only because we kept hearing people complain that is was really expensive for "just burgers". Well they aren't like any other burgers you're likely going to see out there, and really... is $9 dollars for a gourmet burger and hand-cut fries expensive? C'mon, I don't think so. The burgers are ground fresh in-house and come with a variety of interesting toppings and served on english muffins! Now that almost threw me for a minute, until I took a bite! It's such a good idea and really you can probably cut a few calories since you're not consuming an obnoxious, oversized bun of some kind. I had "The John Scott"...with white Vermont cheddar cheese. Hubby had "The Breakfast Burger"...bacon and egg. We both were very happy and able to finish every last bite. That is another good thing, the sizes are just right. Didn't have any drinks, but there was a bar area with ski bums watching the X-Games on the projection screen TV. We may or may not be back to try our hand at the thursday poker night, but if not I know we'll be back for another great dinner! read more

Didn't love it, but didn't hate it. It's a cool environment which obviously serves as a local hangout for younger people, with pool tables and an active bar. The food was good and the service was friendly, but mediocre -- at $3 soft drink/tea, I would expect a lot more attention to the fullness of my glass instead of having to stare at the thirsty ice cubes at the bottom of my cup for half of my meal, but maybe that's just me... If you like Phish, Burning Man, Chacos, spicy language, gourmet burgers, an amazing view while you eat and a bartender that sounds like The Dude, you'll love this place. If paying $33+tip for two sandwiches with fries + two soft drinks would make your wallet feel like it had just been molested as mine had, than this is probably not the place for you. read more

Awesome dinner spot. We're really glad we made the short drive out of town. Food was great. Beer selection is pretty good. It's super low key, friendly, and family focused. It was a perfect spot after skiing. read more

Without doubt the best burger in America if not the World. The only rival might be The Bird in Berlin, Germany. Since this is the same owner, I'll stand by my assertion. Making good on a promise, I drove 950 miles to eat here. It didn't disappoint. It never does. If you're in Jackson Hole or anywhere close, this place is a must. read more

After landing in Jackson Hole we were chatting with one of the guys working as a valet when it occurred to us to ask about his favorite burger place. Without missing a beat he said, "The Bird!" Kind of in the back of a strip center on the edge of town but it's worth tracking down. At only 4PM there wasn't a crowd yet. At first it looks like every other pub food place. But one look at the menu and these guys know what they're doing. Lots of burgers to choose from. If you don't want a burger, the choices are more limited. They take the time to tell you how to order your burger so it's just the way you want it when it's ready to eat. The menu is a hoot so take some time to read it. The draft beer selection was excellent. Hadn't heard of an oyster stout before and had to give it a try. Quite good. Really, quite good in fact. The wife's margarita was so-so ... but then we're from San Antonio so our expectations are high. We should have made time for a second visit while there!!! read more

Love the relaxed atmosphere. The food is always what you come to expect. The schnitzel is my go to dinner, with excellent service always!

We were told this was a great, local hangout. But we needed to get there early or be expected to wait. So we went around 4:00pm on a Monday afternoon. There was no wait and the restaurant was less than half full. Our kids (ages 10 & 7) split a cheeseburger. The waitress told us that all of the burgers are cooked to a medium temperature, so if the kids wanted it cooked more towards well they should let it rest. Which they did. They enjoyed their burger! My wife ordered The Texan which came with a fried egg. I had a 9 oz Works, which included bacon, grilled onions and mushrooms. The Birds burgers are served on English Muffins. This hamburger was DELICIOUS!!!! The burger was so big and full of toppings, I took one bite and the burger EXPLODED onto my plate. I ended up eating it with a knife and fork. Between the four of us, there was NOTHING left on our plates! The beer was cold and the wait staff were genuine! read more

Great wings and nice beer selection. I ordered the wings crispy and was happy.

Best Burger options in Jackson, our favorite hangout for Wing Night and GREAT selection of German brews. Best brunch too that's aptly named "Sunday Funday": get bottomless mimosas/bloody mary's year-round and catch live music out on the deck in the summer. Huge schnitzels so be ready to order and enjoy the real deal local Jackson Hole flavor. Oh, and you can't beat the free shuttle with Larry. Drive Safe Jackson! read more

The best of the best for Burgers ! You have already hear ten thousand times about the best burger, i know ! But, listen, this ONE is the ONE ! Amazing beef, great topings, awesome fries. That is a very good burger ! The beer are great too, and the service is very very friendly ! Take care of the wings, hot means hot ! Mild is already kind of hottish... And if you cannot drive to go home : There is a Free Shuttle door to door. So go to this very cute bar restaurant, it is a 5 minutes drive from the center but you wont regret it. read more

We first visited the Bird over the winter. Warm atmosphere, good food, fun vibe. We became instant fans. We're back for the summer and and made our first visit in early June where the warm atmosphere, good food and fun vibe remain. Our one issue is the deck - the mountain view is gorgeous but there is no way to escape the unrelenting sun. They have a deck in full afternoon (high altitude, mountain) sun with no escape. Maybe some umbrellas or sun sails? Perhaps it is too early in the season but when we visited again in mid June, we didn't see anything that might provide some shade on the deck. We get the slightly irreverent "screw you, leave if you don't like it" vibe of the place and think it's amusing...except for the shade thing. "Screw you, leave if you don't like your skin to bubble and blister in the sun" is NOT amusing. Come for the good food and fun, but bring your SPF 4000 on a sunny day 'cause you're gonna need it. read more

The burgers!!! OMG. SO freaking good! The beef is ground on site each am. The fries are hand cut. The drinks are strong. The service was good. The owner was on site and very attentive. The locals were very nice, and this place looks/feels very cool for a late night cocktail place. read more

Our raft guide suggested this place. Great burgers. Was kinda hot inside like the AC didn't work

Love this place! Their burgers are pretty unique, as they're served on English muffins. Seemed strange at first, but it was actually quite tasty! A family member of mine had the German Schnitzel & holy crap, that thing was HUGE!! And so good! We also really enjoyed the local, laid back vibe of the place. Probably the only downside was having to find a place to sit & no real order on where to sit for first-time comers. Other than that, highly recommend if you're in the area! read more

Stopped here on the way to Salt Lake City, looking for a late lunch. They serve big fine burgers, made just right (rare, that is), and have a respectable selection of beers on tap. Their social media person would hate me for writing this, but don't believe the 'tude in their copy: the staff was super nice. I just hope that by the next time I pass through Wyoming, they'll have some shade on the porch. read more

Perfect spot for good food, large beer selection, incredible views and fun atmosphere

My expectations for The Bird were, perhaps, unrealistically high. I bookmarked it some time ago because I was intrigued by the menu and impressed with the view. After experiencing both, I would probably go back again, and hopefully could bump my rating up a star by making better choices. I got a 4 oz. burger with cheese and bacon. It was little and really puffed up. The meat was well seasoned, but after reading the extended homily in their menu about how a medium burger should look, I was disappointed when mine was overdone. My cousin, and people at a neighboring table, ordered schnitzel and it looked fantastic. Next time I might try that or just go for the bigger burger. The view, as promised, was exceptional. This is definitely the place to come for some quality outdoor drinking. I saw on their brunch menu that they have a great deal on endless mimosas on Sundays. Also, if you've imbibed a little too much, The Bird offers a free shuttle home. In all, The Bird seems like a pretty cool place. Though my experience was something of a letdown, I'm definitely open to giving The Bird another go. read more

The Bird - American Near Me - Jackson, Wyoming

Great place! The bird has a wonderful atmosphere with a view that rivals any across the US. With a great ambience and laid back service the restaurant makes you really feel at home even when your 2000 miles away as I am. I split the delicious wings with two other people to make for a great appetizer. I then enjoy the house salad with their amazing homemade ranch (a must for the wings as well). After devouring the refreshing salad I had the very filling philly cheese steak with a side of the au jus that is usually paired with the French dip. Everything was fantastic taste wise. The reason for the 3 stars is the price. It was on the pricey side considering the amount of food. Although this was expected seeing as Jackson is somewhat of a touristy town. Overall, great food and great people. I will be back in the future. Ps. The burgers are made from ground brisket and it's awesome! read more

Because Zero stars is not an option. We have been here each time we were in town, referred several friends, and liked the staff and food. This time was different; ruined by the "owner" Will. This young high/strung boy confronted us after we asked to...wait for it...spilt the bill in half between our families. Will ruined an otherwise positive experience with his issues manifested in aggressiveness. Poor fella. We hope that the owner was nearly as capable as the other employees. Although they don't take reservations, call ahead to ensure that he is not the manager on duty. Advice: Decide who is paying the bill before entering the restaurant. Otherwise, owner gets rattle by slight change of plans. Sidewinders, Thai plate, Gather, Hatch, Hang Ups, Teton Tiger are all awesome, and closer to town. read more

The Bird is an awesome local bar! It lies a bit outside of downtown Jackson Hole, making it a place to find a bit cheaper food. The restaurant is super nice, with a great, open outdoor seating area. I came by here with a group for burgers. They have so many different options - truly something for everyone! I got some sort of breakfast burger with egg, cheese, and grilled onions and a side of fries. The bun was pretty weird (more like an English muffin), but everything tasted great! This place serves nice solid bar food at a more reasonable price than you'll find in downtown Jackson hole. I definitely recommend you check it out! Also read all the little notes on their menu - it's pretty funny. read more
