    Grilled Elk Medallions with Huckleberry glaze
    Carrie C.

    We eat here every time we stay at Turpin Meadows. The Elk Medallions are one of my favorite meals in the whole country. My husband loves the Ribeye. My friends ordered the Brussels sprouts and really liked them as well. All enjoyed with a spectacular view of the Tetons. And the wait staff is always on point. Quickly getting us whatever we needed.

    Side salad only 3 more with dinner.

    This place was super convenient to get to since we're at the Hatchett Resort connected on the property. I was hesitant to go here due to past reviews but we gave it a shot & we're glad we did. It's a tad pricey but everything we had was good and the portions were huge. I'll also add the menu says 18% gratuity is added to your check and it was not. We tip 20% for good service so they made out better with us by not adding it & I prefer that. So my husband ordered a mix bbq special with mixed veggies. It was all good and the veggies were not over cooked and tasted great. I had the steelhead trout with asparagus and garlic mashed potatoes and added a side salad for 3.00 more. We each ordered a local beer on tap. Our bill was about 60. A tad pricey but again lots of quality food. Also the hostess and three young servers did an excellent job taking care of the restaurant they were in constant motion helping tables. Try it out!

I wasn't rude. I didn't scream the worst experience I've ever had. Are you coming to the establishment for six years sometimes my chicken wings come out cold I don't complain. Sometimes they came out raw. I didn't complain today. I waited 20 minutes before somebody even approached me. I went up to the ladies that I've been waiting really long time I'd like to place an order and she's a go don't come near me. I want to speak to the Managment about this. This is unbelievable for a client that comes here so many times 50% of the time they're inconsistent 50% of the time is delicious today this Waitress was so rude. I had such an arrogant Cavalier attitude. I don't know how she even can be around people like this. I know they're busy but you just don't talk to people like this and when I told her you shouldn't talk to me like that she threw me up. She threw me out and I guess you're not a lot of complain in this town with someone full short someone mistreat you you're not allowed to complain. The only thing they do is throw you out cause they don't wanna understand that they fell short and they have a shitty attitude. She could handle this completely different instead of insult me tell me don't come near me and she's not in the mood. She could've said. I know you've been waiting a long time. I'm sorry for that was what you could've said. I feel bad. We're gonna take care of you right now get your order in please be patient with us. We had a tough day. That's what you could've said. I understand you're frustrated, sir. Understand you way more than you should have. we're trying as hard as we can. I said she had a severe attitude. You just don't do this to a regular client. That's becoming there and never complained before ever even when the food was mediocre raw cold and it still came back you don't need a regular client and throw them out. This lady doesn't know how to deal with people under pressure and stressful situations. I'm reading another one star review that says the same thing about her and she seems annoyed with anybody that says something she's annoyed with anything when they fall short she doesn't wanna hear anything.

    Very disappointing experience. We placed a to-go order for 12 people and even asked if everything…read morewas included before leaving. The order was poorly packed, and the employee seemed annoyed when we asked for one extra plastic bag. Once home, we realized 4 orders were missing. We called and received no apology. After driving back, the order was still incomplete and poorly packed. To top it off, the food was cold and average at best. Poor service, poor organization, and not worth the hassle.

    Yum! This place was great! Our server, Noah, was amazing and so kind (give him a raise!). Noah gave…read moresome great suggestions and told us about the huckleberry lemonade, which was delicious. I ordered a BBQ plate. I tried the okra, toast, and coleslaw. My meat was flavored well and was a good sized serving. My companion also enjoyed her food as well. We were curious about breakfast, as we heard good things, but didn't make it back. When we're in the area again, we'll have to stop by.

I got the 12 count dry rub chicken wings, with Mac and cheese and fries as my side. My boyfriend got the half pound brisket with potato salad and fries as his. The dry rub chicken had a good amount of flavor, but it was the tiniest bit overcooked. The sides were honestly the stars of the plate. The Texas toast was buttery and so good. The fries were perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the Mac and cheese were so creamy and full of flavor. The brisket was tender and not super greasy. However, the outer layer is extremely salty so I would double down on the sauce. The potato salad was good, but nothing crazy. I think the portion sizes are absolutely massive and you'll definitely leave with a full belly. The ambiance is pretty neat, but service wasn't the fastest, but food came out in less than 15 minutes. It seemed like maybe they were short staffed this day. Our waiter was nice, but he had a lot of tables to wait on, so he wouldn't come over unless we flagged him down.

    Located inside of the Togwotee Mountain Lodge off of Highway 26, most people coming off the…read moremountain pass might decide to keep going toward Jackson Hole unless you need gas or place to stay. I stayed a few nights at the Lodge since the hotels were all booked up in Jackson Hole and it turns out that it was my great fortune! My stay was fine with clean rooms, comfortable beds, and high speed internet available. The hidden gem is definitely the Red Fox Saloon. The menu is limited, but totally fine given the challenge of the logistics to get supplies delivered up the mountain on a regular basis. Today, I was in the mood for a nice salad and big bowl of chili. Goodness, I was in luck! The salad was super sized with plenty of lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, and other garden goodies! The chili was giant hot bowl filled with beans and a combination of bison and elk meat. I definitely tasted the elk, but if you fear enjoy meat other than beef, do not worry. It is a hot bowl of pure yumminess!

I asked the hostess if they was only server and then she found our server. We ordered drinks and food at the same time. Our drinks sat up on the counter of the bar for 8-10 minutes. I finally went and grabbed the drinks myself. One minute later the food came too. The food was cold. Fries were stale and bland. We got a Cesar salad which had the non fresh bad part of the romaine lettuce. The trout tacos tasted ok and the fish was fresh (thankfully, we were scared). When I asked for the bill, that was brought and processed immediately but I wasn't given the itemized statement. So I had to go back to the hostess as we rarely saw our server. Overall, would not recommend unless you're just coming for drinks. Unfortunately, not many options in this area.
