    Parmesan fries
    Amanda B.

    The views were great, but the food was just alright. We started with the Parmesan fries, which were underwhelming. They would've been better if they had something to help the parm and parsley actually stick to the fries. For our mains, everyone at the table ordered sirloins, and they took over an hour to come out. Each steak was to be cooked to different temps, but yet they came out at separate times. I did enjoy my steak, but my potatoes were lukewarm at best. Not the best experience, but there aren't many options around here so I'd probably find myself back here when in the area again. There's another more upscale restaurant connected to this one, but they share the same kitchen, so I'm not sure if that one would be any better!

    Taco Salad with beef and black beans (side of ranch dressing) and a cup of chili.

    Had a wonderful time sitting out on the deck with a great view of the lake. Taco salad with beef and black beans tasted great, but nothing set it apart from any other taco salad I've ever had. Chili was phenomenal! Service was fast and attentive. We would be back for the view alone.

    We were staying in Moran and this was one of our few dinner options. The menu prices definitely reflect the stunning view while you dine, however the food was average. The parmesan fries were basically normal/bland fries with thick Parmesan sprinkled on top, which fell off whenever you took a bite. Me, my cousin, and sister all got steak, which were all to be cooked at different temperatures. However, it was a bit strange because our server brought the steaks out all at different times.

    We were returning from a day at Yellowstone and plan to have dinner at this place because the view. The views of the mountains are breathtaking. We're so glad we captured this location. There are two places to choose from we selected trapper's grill. We ended up splitting the tacos, which were flavorful. They were very filling. There were three of them and the fish in them were big pieces of fish. I got a salad which I thought was over priced for the size. My son got the nachos for four people she warned us about the size and he did a great job of taking them out. There wasn't a lot of protein in them seemed to be a lot of chips, but it was a fun night just to watch him. Try to take them out. The service was good could have been better. I have a pet peeve though about removing the plates from the table when you're done eating them and they seem to have just forgot that. When she brought me the bill, I didn't even have room on the table to actually look at it and you sign the copy because the dishes were so high. But let me go back to the view. The view was spectacular. The drinks were good. The food was good and put the Bill after a long day and Yellowstone. View is a 5, service 3, food 3.5 Caution: when you leave, be sure to follow the signs because we saw multiple animals along the road and a huge elk, moose be sure to go the speed limit. It's very dark.

    We went to the Trapper Grill. It's a great spot to go after a hike. The view is stunning. The patio isn't very big, so if you want to sit outside, ask for it but be prepared to wait. We went two days in a row after exploring the park. Both days were far from different experiences. We had the same waitress both days and her attitude was night and day. First day we went it was great. She was great. I got the trout tacos. Those were amazing. So good. It's pretty big too! The second day we were seated inside. The table did not look clean at all. The hostess actually cleaned it up as she was sitting us. The glasses were dirty. When our waitress came I politely asked if I could get a different glass because mine looked soooo dirty like it hadn't been through a dishwasher. She immediately went into defense mode saying that they don't polish the cups there. I just said oh ok. She swapped it with a cup from a table behind me, honestly I don't even know if she swapped the cup because it was behind me. She filled my water to the brim so I couldn't look at the glass. Oh well. I got the pesto chicken and caprese sandwich and it wasn't that great. The chicken was dry and the food sandwich tasted weird. Fries were amazing. My friend got the fish and chips and they said it was delicious.

    Ranchers pie

    I recently dined at the Trapper Grill at The Signal Lodge. I was out for a hike in the park and my family was kinda hungry so we decided to stop for a quick bite. I enjoyed the dining experience but honestly it was just ok but it was good for what it was (being a restaurant run by Aramark inside a national park (the day before the summer season ends). The service was just ok which again I understand why but the waitress was friendly. The inside of the restaurant felt more like a cafeteria than a lodge. And me the food was nothing to write home about. I had high hopes for the huckleberry short rib. I thought it was good, but I don't think cooking the short rib in barbecue sauce was a good idea as I couldn't taste the sauce and the short rib, haven't had no distinct flavor. Perhaps using the sauce as a finish would better compliment, the flavor of the meat. I thought the ranchers pie (basically a shepherds pie) was much better. the mashed potatoes were delicious and the beef was tender but to me it was more like a pot roast more. Would I eat here again? Sure... If I had to. Do I think it's amazing? No. Overall it's ok. Just ok. I've had better food in National Parks before.

    Good food. Decent customer service and a great local spot to just stop in. Very cute Decor on the inside. Tons of open parking

    Grilled cheese and side salad

    While staying at the signal mountain lodge, the trapper grill and deadman's bar was a really convenient dinner choice! As a part of 2 getting early dinner each night, we never had to wait for seats. A few times we even got seats on the outside balcony area which was so lovely! Over the course of a few nights I had wine and beer and ciders, all delicious. And I tried many food options- the veggie burger, Caesar with trout (the larger size is huge!), and the grilled cheese with huckleberry - nice for lunch. We also went for a breakfast a few times - I loved the breakfast burrito and appreciated the vegetarian option! All the employees were very nice.

    Incredible view of jackson lake and surrounding mountains! We went right around sunset so we were able to enjoy the view while waiting for our meal. We did wait quite a while for our food, but while we were waiting our server was making sure we had full drinks. The food was so good!! Made up for all the waiting. already planning our next trip.

    Could I be happy eating in a restaurant just to see the view? Yes, but I also get hungry too, so if the food is pretty decent and not a total dive then I'm a happy camper. We stayed at Signal Mountain Lodge for a few nights and knew local restaurants were few and far between. There are options that require reservations at the more upscale lodges but I just wanted simple American family style food and that's what we got! This is September which is close to the end of the busy summer season. Local help and staff probably start to dwindle but we were fortunate to have very nice and helpful staff each time we came for a meal at Trappers Grill. There were ample choices and the breakfasts were hot and filling. Dinners were a small variety of different choices and we ate well. They have one of the greatest views of Jackson Lake and the Grand Tetons from their dining room. The viewing windows go up to the ceiling and there is outdoor seating too during warmer weather. You can see down to the shoreline and the dock and Marina office. I often tried their daily soup and was not disappointed. Afraid I did not take as much pictures of the food as I was blown away by the view more! If you are looking for fine dining this is not the place. If you are fine with something hot and filling you would be pleasantly surprised. They also have a local bar ( Deadman's Bar) close to the restaurant and it was pretty hopping on a couple of nights we were there. If you prefer to take out, they provide that service too. Decor is all warm woods and decorative light fixtures that were pretty whimsical and suited for the environment of wildlife in the area.

    After a VERY long day of driving, my friends and I were more than ready to down some delicious food. Since we were camping at Signal Mountain Campground, we decided that this restaurant would be a great place to eat at. First off...the views from this place are AMAZING! My photos don't do it justice. Second, the food is also really good. I got their veggie burger, and it was exactly what I needed after our long day on the road. I also ordered a local cider (I forget the name of it) and it was DELICIOUS! Our waitress recommended it, and she clearly had great taste! She was also awesome, super friendly, attentive, and chatty. We appreciated her kindness and humor. We didn't go to it, but the restaurant also has a bar attached to it...and I think it could absolutely be the place to BE on a good night. If we had more time in the campground, it would have been fun to stop in and hang out with other campers. Next time...

    Half order of nachos
    Katy C.

    After a hike at Taggart Lake, Nate and I decided to check out the Signal Mountain Lodge for lunch at the recommendation from a local friend. We had a short wait for a table, but the view of the lake was worth it. We decided to split the half order of nachos and a cup of chili. This was way more than enough food - the menu says the half order of nachos feeds two, but it could definitely feed four. Luckily we were pretty hungry after our hike, so we ended up polishing off most of the plate. Our server was impressed! The nachos were pretty tasty, but there were quite a few naked chips towards the bottom. I like that you can order them with beef, chicken, black beans, or any combination of the above. We got all three. The nachos came out with two generous sized bowls of salsa and sour cream, and you can also get guacamole for an extra charge. The highlight for me was the chili - it was so delicious! I honestly wished the nachos came with the chili on them, it was that good. The cornbread muffin that came with the chili was crumbly and moist. I'd probably come here again if we're ever back in GTNP.

The bigger problem, however, was the service -- especially the brunette woman at the counter. From the second we approached, the atmosphere felt unfriendly. No smile, no greeting, no eye contact. There was no willingness to assist, no recommendations, and no sense of hospitality whatsoever.

To top it off, it took nearly five minutes just to get a basic receipt, with no explanation or acknowledgment. And that's the thing about customer service -- it shapes the entire experience. A café can have great coffee, appealing food, and a beautiful interior, but when the first interaction feels distant and unwelcoming, it overshadows everything else. Staff members are the face of a business, and when customers leave feeling ignored or unwanted, it leaves a lasting impression for all the wrong reasons. Beautiful space and some solid food, but service is what defines whether people return -- and unfortunately, this experience made us not want to come back.
