We recently stayed at Under Canvas and, on our first night, headed over to the Bar N Ranch for…read moredinner. And truly? It was okay. We weren't super hungry - so opted to skip any sort of appetizer. I had the game bolognese (made with a mixture of meat) and it was truly just okay - definitely lacking for flavor and salt. My husband at the chicken sandwich, which again he said was fine. The cocktails were delicious, however - we tried the special: huckleberry sours. YUM. We enjoyed them so much, we got some to go and take back over to our tent.

It doesn't seem to be listed clearly here, but Bar N Ranch is BOTH a restaurant and a lodge with…read morecabins you can stay in! My family recently experienced both and I highly recommend both to anyone visiting Montana or traveling to see Yellowstone National Park. We stayed in a cabin for a week and enjoyed breakfasts and dinners many days at the restaurant. In regard to the restaurant, both breakfast and dinner served up delicious food with a good variety of options and local fare. My family particularly enjoyed their bolognese, salads, and burgers -- and we tried basically all of their appetizers and desserts at some point which were all beautiful and delicious! I landed on one particular dinner cocktail (setting up camp) because it was just that good, and they have mimosas available at breakfast time. The ambiance is beautiful, comfortable and has an upscale rustic lodge feel! In regard to the lodge and cabins, we had such a wonderful experience of these spaces! The accommodations were wonderful, and the GM and employees were absolutely lovely and helpful people! There are so many little details they attend to: 1. a quality complimentary beverage station available throughout the day with ice water, cider, hot cocoa, coffee and teas 2. Recommendations and help with setting up local outings like fly fishing, water rafting, horseback riding, etc. 3. Complimentary s'mores that you can roast at any of their many fire pits that they light every evening on property. The location is also perfect, just outside of the West Gate of Yellowstone and a day trip away from places like Jackson Hole, WY! Another plus is that they have rooms and cabins of different sizes, so very easy to find accommodations that fit for your family or travel group! We are excited to return to Bar N Ranch again in the future and I highly recommend it to anyone else below are just a few of the beautiful sights of the space!

Everything about this place was great!…read more We came in really hungry and had to wait for a little bit to get seated so we were staring at the bakery case and decided to get an everything cream cheese scone. 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. We ordered the wild game chili, which was really flavorful and hearty, along with the loaded tots, which were a fun addition to the meal. Inside, the space has great decor with local artwork that adds to the overall feel of the place. It felt welcoming and fit the area well. Overall, a great stop for us and a place I would recommend if you are heading into Yellowstone from this entrance.
