Excellent chicken fried steak!! Big enough to share. Always happy pleasant staff. A must stop!!!

The best food we found in Yellowstone. So good, we went 3 of the 5 evenings we were in the area. Food: - Maryland crab cakes: really good, scallops cooked well, huckleberry added good flavor, sage cream corn was great - Pear prosciutto and burrata salad: really good and very generous - soup of the day: cream of mushroom one day and broccoli cheddar the next, both very warm and cozy - prime rib: great flavor, cooked well - bison rib eye: fattier than expected in a good way! - surf and turf: also great flavor and cooked well - seafood scampi Del Mar: good! -huckleberry crème brûlée: to die for Love that the entrees come with soup or salad and choice of baked potato or fries. Side salad is very generous. Service is amazing, they remembered us after the second time. They do get busy though but understandably cause it's so good. Decor is very woody and homey read more

Three Bear Restaurant - American Near Me - West Yellowstone, Montana

A+. This place is downright amazing!!! The food is outstanding. Service is great! We had Kevin and he was on top of things. Our water was never empty. The restaurant is clean and has both tables and comfortable booths. We had the Bison burger, Cajun pasta, 3 bear meatloaf and kids chicken strips and mac n cheese. But the bread they bring to the table is the best bread we have ever tasted. It must be made in-house! We are here on vacation but will likely come back before we leave. read more

had a solid dinner here, prices were fair, service was good. no complaints other than the asparagus could have used some more seasoning (or any seasoning at all?? lol) interior isn't anything exciting or special, just a good standard restaurant that i believe does a breakfast buffet which sounds great! read more

Fun craft cocktails and good food. Very impressed with the Mediterranean hummus and the bison and elk skewers were yummy (could have used a dash more seasoning but tender and very good). Isaac was a fantastic bartender and showed a lot of pride in making good craft cocktails. They were delicious! The Maple old fashioned was delicious as well. He also let us sample his clarified margarita and it was so smooth and so delicious! Will definitely go back before we leave. read more

Absolutely LOVED this place. The ambience is cozy and homey and old school. The decor feels like country, with wooden tables and chairs, as well as booth seating. The food was delicious on the whole. One thing I'll say is that the pita was a bit hard and stale. We were so full after eating our apps and entrees that we were bummed we couldn't get dessert. Shoutout to 6'7" Kevin for being a great server. read more

Cute place. The hostess that seated us was quite the miserable person tho; no greeting - no hello - just a "you can sit here" Our server, Talon, made up for the hostess and gets 5 Stars. It was buffet only for breakfast when we stopped in. The buffet had some fruit, yogurt, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, home fries, some type of quiche, pastries an assortment of breads. Plus, sausage and gravy and pancakes. I think I saw someone with smoked salmon on their plate; but I didn't see it on the buffet line (probably all gone by the time we walked thru). It was a nice variety of foods; but it wasn't very good tasting and wasn't hot by any stretch of the imagination. The fruit was probably the best thing we sampled. $17.95 was a bit much for boring, mildly warm, food. Seems like most people dining at Three Bears had coupons from the adjacent hotel. Won't be back. read more

We are the 02/21/26 as we had dinner there last year and loved it. This year we had the prime rib. The meat was tasteless other than the end cap with spices. They served it with burnt black asparagus that we couldn't eat. We had to ask for horseradish and butter for our bake potatoes. We tried to get waiter to come back to our table, but never came back to ask how our food was. When he came back with check wouldn't stop long enough to listen to our reviews. The hostess wouldn't even say thank you or come again. No employees smiled or seemed happy.. we spent over $125.00 for two of us only drinking water. We are visiting for a week and shame will not go back read more

Dropped in on a whim. Good atmosphere, great meal , although service was a bit slow. I would recommend though.

Breakfast was served quickly and tasted great. Service was good with excellent location near the West Yellowstone park entrance. Baked goods were awesome!! read more

( 3.5 Stars ) Alright experience I had at the Three Bear Restaurant. The ambiance within the restaurant is very cozy with plenty of seatings for all families to enjoy. The service was alright, nothing bad, but nothing great. I had placed an online order through the phone and the employee who answered the phone was not too mean or friendly, more of a neutral attitude. When I arrived at the restaurant, the employees were attentive with everything I needed. The only downside was the wait, which took about 40-45 minutes to make 3 meals. I personally had ordered the Cajun Chicken Pasta w/ tomato soup & garlic bread, and it was great. The Cajun Chicken was deliciously breaded and cooked, and the pasty was good as well. The garlic bread was perfectly buttery and tasted great when dipped inside the tomato soup. I'm not sure when I'll return to the West Yellowstone area, but if I do, I will be visiting here again. read more

Thanks to Yelp we gave this a try, and were not disappointed. We had the stuffed pork tenderloin and a burger, and wrapped up the meal with huckleberry creme brulee (we shared one and it was enough). Delicious!! Service was friendly and sweet. They are open for breakfast, close for lunch, then open at 5 for the dinner crowd. Price was reasonable. Bison and elk are on the menu. read more

Plenty of options to choose from (we only came here for breakfast). Our breakfast voucher from the lodge covered up to $10 on the menu and a drink. Our breakfast items ranged from English muffin breakfast sammies, breakfast burritos, western omelette, huckleberry pancakes, biscuits and gravy, etc. They did have a breakfast buffet for $14.95 advertised as one of the options one day. Even with short staffing, it took less than 45 minutes from sitting, ordering, to finishing. The restaurant was never full most days and the bear decor cute. I was informed that they no longer have bison sausage on the menu (like the online menu suggests). 2023 #42 read more

We stopped here during our cross-country move before our trip to Yellowstone the next day. We were very pleasantly surprised! This was one of the only places that had vegetarian options in an area full of BBQ/burger restaurants. My partner got the bison burger and enjoyed it; I got the marinara pasta and the eggplant fries with aioli. I highly recommend the eggplant fries; they reminded me of the zucchini fritters my mom would make growing up. The chef was greeting customers and I overheard that they make everything fresh in-house; "scratch made". Service was friendly and our takeout order was out quickly. read more

There was 6 people in our dinner party. 4 had meatloaf and 2 had chicken fried steak. Nobody left hungry . Prices were a little high but it is in a HIGH VISITOR area. The huckleberry margarita wasn't on spot for our taste buds. Serving sizes are large and tasty read more

entered and greeted, with the greeter looking at another person..says to him 2. he says ok. sat down, ordered, waiter stated they we're out of the Bison Ribeye, try again. Ordered the Prime Rib, aweful! left disappointed to say the least. need to update menu, and decor. service was a three at best. read more

Picked up dinner here since we were staying at the the three bear lodge. The country fried steak was so good! Not dry at all and crust was so yummy. The mixed meatloaf was good too, thick cuts. Personally not a fan of the huckleberry sauce but didn't hate it. Just used to having it with tomato sauce. Both came with a side of mashed potato and roasted asparagus. We took it to eat inside the park and it was perfect read more

There is no reason to have half your tables empty and guest waiting over thirty minutes to be seated. The hostess said the cook staff was short handed. Bad. Let your customers have a seat, have a cocktail, have an appetizer...the order food. They will be happier. Bad management to left guest wait and wander off to establishments where they are respected and certainly appreciated. read more

We walked by 2 days earlier. THE SMELL!!! We banked all our morals on the fact that 3 bear was going to be the spot! Disclaimer: You need to know we had been living in an RV. We opted for 1 dinner on this trip at a restaurant while on the road. Our hopes were high, our appetites' ready. Montana- thinking the meat has to be good, right?! WRONG. 3 bear was not the place. The smell may be luring but the meal fell flat. The steak was pricey for being very fatty and lacking flavor. My husband was disgusted by his meal. I have thoughts about places that serve a baked potato and doesn't take the time to lob on butter and sour cream. Instead it was served (at a high cost) with butter packets and sour cream packets. LAME! The decor is outdated, thing early 80's country. The booths are very tight. The salad was sup par. This place is a tourist trap and 3 bears should tear it apart! read more

Kevin was our waiter. He was friendly and explained the food options. The food came out really fast! And even though he was busy he kept checking in with us. We tried the soup of the day... cauliflower something. It was good. The best part was the bison ribeye. It was done med well (more medium) and was flavorful. I had the chicken and mashed potatoes. The chicken portion was larger than expected. The mashed potatoes were homemade and I love that it is full of potato chunks. We ended with an apple Brown Betty. It's huge! We could share it easily and still couldn't finish it! The servers were nice and the manager helpful when we had a small issue that he was so kind to address. In addition it's a quaint place that is western style decor. It's nice and clean as well. I love that they have cloth napkins! Thanks, Kevin for a nice evening! read more

Menu advertises broasted chicken as a specialty, thought I'd try it and waiter came back to say they were out. Mixed garden salad wash fresh and crispy. Not sure why my appetizer of nachos took so long to come out. Maybe 20 minutes? And then within 4 minutes our entree came out. The kitchen needs to get that figured out. The food was delicious. The Mac and cheese were greasy and gross. Shoulda ordered potato and gravy instead. Buffalo burger was excellent, baked half chicken excellent. Filet a little undercooked but a good cut. Ordered brownie for dessert they were out. Waiter attentive and good humored through the stress of the slow kitchen. read more

Fantastic home style food, with very friendly service. Great after a long day at the Park.

I went there very close to closing with my young daughter during our recent vacation. They were kind enough to accommodate us with good food and outstanding service. I look forward to eating there again, the next time we visit Yellowstone. read more

Second day breakfast on our trip here. My husband liked the food better than where we went yesterday. My veggie omelette was really good. Somehow moist but not yolk or anything. It was probably all the vegetables sweating inside it and being cooked and yummy. It was interesting to read the history of the restaurant and lodge on the back of the menu. My husband got the country fried steak with scrambled eggs, hash browns and a biscuit. He loved his food and my omelette when he tried it. We may be back before we leave. We would recommend stopping in for breakfast. read more

So I can say that we have been to all the restaurants in west Yellowstone and this is by far the best. If I am not mistaken, this is the only restaurant with a classically trained chef. And what a great job Ryan does. This place went from a zero to awesome in a year thanks to Ryan and his great leadership. There is a breakfast buffet served every morning that includes fresh fruit, smoked salmon, assorted pastries eggs, bacon, and sausage or ham and more. Chef Ryan has opted to do a breakfast special every morning in addition to the regular menu and the buffet. How great. The crab, Asparagus, and Brie is great. There is a nightly dinner special as well that changes every night. Lamb shanks are to die for.chef Ryan will not prepare anything that is frozen so you know that it is fresh. Every evening there are fresh munchies served in the bar that are free. Go figure free food! A real treat and always great. This is a must stop place and you can't go wrong. How many places have the chef walking out talking to the customers and getting their feed back I highly recommend this restaurant. So when you see chef Ryan tell him I recommended it. You won't be sorry. read more

So we went there twice. Waiter was outstanding and so was services. I had a stuffed pork tenderloin which had cramp and apple tasted like thanksgiving in a bite. My husband loved the quinoa mango salad. It's a very easy place to walk to and the food is delicious. I also had hummus which was outstanding on the first night and tasted the elk and bison. If you are in West Yellowstone go there and I think our waiters name was Ron. He was the nicest and best waiter . read more

Closed at 11:15am on a Sunday. I don't think I've ever seen a restaurant close so early, especially before the church crowd gets out. Edit: We tried to go today but they were closed. Again. Won't attempt to go back. read more

Great place to eat during your visit to Yellowstone! Prices are very reasonable, and the food is simple but high quality. Our servers, Dianne and Serdar, were awesome despite how busy the restaurant can get - be sure to get there earlier in the morning for breakfast! Definitely give the hot chocolate a try, which is complimentary if you stay at the lodge (along with the other beverages + $8 food credit). Enjoy Yellowstone! I'll be back on my next visit :) read more

Worse restaurant experience ever!!! Ordered never got our food. Everyone seated around us got their food they ordered after us. We got up and left. Decided to try one more time we had vouchers for free prime rib dinner. Asked for no horseradish and came with horseradish and was cold. The excuse we got was the staff was very green. Well needless to say we got up and left again. And will not return until new management fixes issues. Plus a lot of staff just walking around doing nothing one guy looked like a zombie passing back and forth very strange and horrible experience!!!! read more

Very good place to eat! Food was fast & the waiter was very nice! Highly recommend! I got seafood scampi & it was amazing!

Great breakfast!!! Service was outstanding and really good food. Highly recommend for breakfast

We had the opportunity to visit the three bear restaurant on several occasions, breakfast and dinner. The breakfast menu is complete, but what really stands out is the size of the portions. They are large, very flavorful, and prepared quickly. The most important thing is that breakfast will last for a full day of activities in Yellowstone park For dinner, we had the elk and bison meatloaf, a wonderful combination and delicious. The other item we had was the bison ribeye, I found this to be on par with some of the best ribeyes I've had before, and would highly recommend either dish. I know some people have complained of the prices in West Yellowstone or hi, we found us not to be the case. In fact, the three bear restaurant provide you the best food for the buck in town. Not to mention the bartender makes an awesome old fashion. read more

I had a hand pressed bison patty that I added swish and mushrooms to . The main course or rather the burger and fries came out quickly maybe 10 to 15 minutes . The burger while being warm seemed like it was quickly put together. Like one of those dishes that they make a bunch of and have just ready to go. I wanted Dessert first but I got it second. The server didn't think there was any since there didn't have it the day before, let me tell you this was the best part of the food experience . The Ice cream was creamy and locally made . The cake from what is wrote in the menu is made in house from scratch. The cake was really good and the frosting was thick enough to stick on thwack of your tongue. Liked this pl read more

Loved the food and atmosphere here! Our waiter (I think his name was Jonas or Yonus) was a superstar!!! He was so friendly and helpful. He did everything he could to make sure everything was perfect for us. PLUS he was the only server and was busy running around with other tables. Huge shoutout to him! We got the bison ribeye, bison burger, and bison nachos. All soooo good. Def make sure you stop by here if you are in town read more

We first walked in to the lounge for a cocktail, and were assisted by the bartender, Isaac. He was friendly, efficient, personable and engaging. Based on our experience with him, the next night we went for dinner. The ambience isn't much to speak of -- sort of 1980s country diner. The service is friendly and efficient, if not polished. Our dinners (bison ribeye and stuffed pork tenderloin) were very, very good. In fact, we got the leftovers to go, along with dinner rolls and butter, and had them as a picnic the next day in the park. The waiter, knowing what we were planning to do, proactively brought us plastic cutlery to take along with us. Worth a visit for sure. read more

We were on a trip to the national parks in the region (Grand Teton and Yellowstone) and were staying in the Island Park, ID area. West Yellowstone was our portal to the parks. The salmon and trout/crab based entrees for each of us were tasty and well received by all three of us. The salads were also tasty and ample. Our waiter's details on life in the area were entertaining, and he did a good job of providing details on the dish options and providing them when cooked. read more
