Bison burger! Homemade cut fries.

Great food! Ate here on last night in Yellowstone. Under construction but don't let it deter you. We had an Elk burger and bison burger. Deep fried mushrooms as an appetizer, so yummy! Menu is smaller and simple but good quality food. Service and timely delivery of food. Small amount of seats now in off season and construction, likely be super nice outdoor seating area soon.

Beer and food

This is a nice spot in Gardiner which is a lovely town. The place is nice, you order first, choose drinks and food. The beer menu was good. The food is the essential part, and I thought it was great. I tried the beef burger and it was memorable. The service was friendly and nice. Overall I'd recommend this place. It was busy but we didn't wait very long

Outside

We were hungry on our way into Yellowstone and thought this restaurant looked cool from the road. The front window gal was friendly. The tables weren't all that clean outside but we found a spot and split an elk burger and fries. For $22 it really wasn't as good as we'd hoped. I wish we would have driven further before deciding as there were many other options a bit up the road but I'm sure everywhere in town is similar.

Shake

Food was good. Beef was rarer than you can normally get it and I loved it. Cookies and cream shake was blended well. No cookie pieces left. Tasted right. Fresh cut fries were right out of the fryer. Service was friendly and busy. You order at the window and they bring it to your table. Seating is all outdoors. Lights draped overhead. Several locals as well as tourists.

Great burger good service. The HuckelyBerry shake was awesome. The huckleberry lemonade was even better

Elk Burger

The photo doesn't do it justice, but my elk burger was delicious. There was a very light gamey taste, but almost imperceptible. I had to try it, but you'd probably be just as happy with a regular burger. My wife had a salmon filet sandwich that was also very good. And their hand cut fries were delicious. It was a beautiful evening, so the outdoor seating was nice.

Cutaway of elk and bison burgers

A decent fast casual eatery with mostly self service, minus food being brought out to you. The CORRAL is a fairly prominently displayed eatery on the side of the main road going through Gardiner, so there's a good chance you'll see it no matter what. While quite a few of the folks in line were raving about it, I can't say I was terribly impressed by my city-boy-palate. It'll certainly serve it's purpose if you just need food, but time permitting I'd recommend looking elsewhere. It's mostly street parking, but the CORRAL has a number of dedicated spots if you turn onto their corner, so drive by first to see if those are filled up. Service is mostly self serve as seating is first-come-first-served, water and utensils are available at a station near the kitchen, and you might need to figure out how to avoid roasting in the sun as covered spots are not too plentiful and interior seating is rather limited. The kitchen areas were also rather unsanitary with all the flies around the food plates; I've seen worse to be honest, but less than ideal to be sure. Water cooler rather finicky to function too. On the bright side, they had a nice outdoors swing and slide set for kids/families to play with, so there's something for younglings to work off their boundless energy on. The food at CORRAL is very much presented in a no frills, 'simple is best' kind of approach. All burgers are the same, just with the patty mixed around. I would nominally see the appeal, but I don't feel like the execution was quite there. Now the fries were solid; lightly seasoned but moderately crispy exterior and a good (if slightly dry) interior. The cookies and cream shake we got was a nice heavy creaminess that came out quite fast and was quite full bodied (they didn't have the huckleberry stuff I wanted but good enough). The main burgers were unfortunately just alright. Very much a simple presentation with minimal compositions to distract from the patty (cheese is an add-on that we both opted for, but it was quite mild and didn't add too much). The elk was done rather dry/lean (also my patty broke apart and they still served it so...). The bison was well done, very lightly seasoned and slightly dry. Not a great burger experience even with the notable gaminesss of the different meat. All in all it was satisfying eat for sating our hunger near Yellowstone, but there are better options in the area to be sure.

Buffalo Burger and what's left of some fries.

I had the jalapeño poppers and Huckleberry milkshake too... I have dumped money in this place the last two days because nothing in this town comes close. Everything is outstanding and the service is great! If you're looking for some great food in Gardiner, MT this is your place. Make sure you get the Huckleberry milkshake! The kids chicken strips are large and tasty as well.

Elk Burger 11/10

Out- standing. I didn't even want a burger to begin with. I had the Elk burger and hand cut fries. One of the top 5 burgers I've ever had - Juicy and Charred just a bit on the outside. We sat outside on. May evening right at sunset and it was the perfect setting for a perfect burger.

Deep fried mushrooms

See all

We ordered the Bison burger and a beer and it was close to $30. Way too much for what we ordered, although it was a good burger.
