    French toast
    Kevin C.

    We spent the morning at Lamar Valley and decided to drop by the small quaint town for a quick breakfast. Not having internet connection, we tried this place out of whim. It's your average breakfast diner joint with limited menu options . I got the combo #1 which came with egg, choice of meat, pancake and toast. It was alright and expected. My son got the French coast combo #4 with choice of meat. My wife got the breakfast special. Overall, it filled our tummy but nothing to write a 4 stars review on. The wait staff was very nice although the interior looked a bit run down.

    Trout, French fries, veggies, and salad!

    The food here was terrific! The French fries are homemade and amazing!! The service was decent! We sat outside, which was very nice! We did end up spending $70 for two people, and the restrooms were small and not the best in town

    Trout

    Decided to grab lunch here after driving across Lamar valley. The place had both indoor and outdoor seating. It was a bit busy when we arrived around 12pm but got even busier when we left around 1pm. I went with the rainbow trout which was cooked in a pan. I wished they had a healthier version where it was grilled. It tasted ok. My included fries they were crunchy in terms of texture which is always a plus but tasted a bit dull as if they were out for a while. My wife went with the salad that had turkey. It was just an average salad. Finally we got two coffees and they were pretty cold. We had a weird incident where our waitress refused to give us the WiFi password stating it was for employee use only but overheard the other waitress giving it to another customer. We just asked the other waitress to give us the password and she did. Overall would try a different place if I were here

    Eggs, hash browns, toast, bacon

    Small breakfast spot in Cooke City to stop before heading into Yellowstone NP. Not much else was open so we decided to try this place out. The service was great. Not very busy here thankfully. Good was very filling and great. I ended up cleaning my plate and sharing across the table too! Bacon wasn't the usual crispy bacon I'm used to but still cooked and tasty though. Eggs and hash browns were fantastic and I was so full after stopping here! Coffee here wasn't quite a favorite though. I did hear that the coffee/tea at elevation can be a little weaker so I'm not sure if that's what it was. I'd recommend stopping in through if you are taking this route into or out of Yellowstone though.

    Cheeseburger and fries, made fresh to order and very delicious!

    During our trip to Yellowstone, my girlfriend and I drove through the northeast entrance of Yellowstone National Park and decided to stop by a place to eat before coming across the bistro in the small town of Cooke city. According to the Yelp reviews I've read, People say this place is overpriced but honestly this place isn't that expensive considering this restaurant is in the middle of nowhere. Check was $23 for 2 burgers, fries, and a cup of coffee. Sure the menu was pretty basic compared to your average restaurant, but everything was made fresh to order and the Fries were piping hot. Also the server was very attentive and laid back. The only gripe I had with this place is the lipstick stain on my girlfriends cup of coffee(time for new ones?).

    We came in about 15 to close looking for somewhere to eat after we drove through the Lamar valley, and realized we were screwed, since most everything in Cooke City closes at 10.

Knew we weren't going to find a lot of food options in Yellowstone, so chose to stop at the Beartooth Café before entering. Cooke city is a cute little town that was hopping at the end of August. We did have to wait 10 or 15 minutes for a table, but there is a cute souvenir shop right next-door that kept us busy while we were waiting. The restaurant staff is super friendly and helpful, and the food really hit the spot. We were grateful for the chance to get something good to eat and use the restroom before heading into the park. They also have a gas station so we could fill up and not have to worry about that either. If this is the route you were taking on your visit to Yellowstone, I would definitely recommend a stop here!

Food was a simple and yummy find across from our motel. My burger was charred just right, the bun wad very dry; the side salad was deliciously crisp. My hubby enjoyed a juicy steak with mashed taters and veggies. This is a must stop when passing through this quaint town. Tip-be aware, no cell service anywhere in this town and WiFi is hard to find. This was a shock to us, never heard of such a thing!!!

That was the best tasting scone I've ever had! We started off with the garlic bread and it comes out on a pesto. It was toasted just right and has just a splash of balsamic glaze that added the best balance. Whole cloves of roasted garlic on there too! The chili, I can honestly say beat mine, and I make a damn good chili! Just the right amount of heat and the jalapeño cornbread added just the right texture. Bison strip in bourbon garlic sauce was the best meal I have had in a really long time. The vegetable served with it was perfectly cooked and fresh! I highly recommend trying this place you won't be disappointed!

The town itself is quaint, and this felt like a perfect place to grab a bite before heading into the park.

Overall, a great stop for us and a place I would recommend if you are heading into Yellowstone from this entrance.

It was really lovely choosing to eat here - the interior of the place will take you back ages as its fully made of wooden logs with bears staring down at you while you eat :D We had hot brewed coffee (with unlimited refills), the French toast served with fresh fruit (which was of right portion and very good) and the blueberry pancakes (which were really big portions and would ideally be enough for 2 people). While we were dining, we were also entertained by the owner in some interesting trivia facts about Silver Gate and Soda Butte creek etc. Would highly recommend this place if you are visiting Yellowstone!
