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

Make sense now why they don't have much stars. Meat is dry and bland. Even kids menu is bland. Bison is ok... I'll give them credit for their French fries tho. The chocolate cake I can tell came from a store definitely NOT homemade. Servers masks under their noses. Definitely won't be back. 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

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

Great place for wonderful comfort food, portions are large and you can easily split any of the salads. The Apple Brown Betty signature dessert was great and highly recommend it read more

I kept reading about steak fingers on this trip, that my husband and I are on, and we finally got to get some. Steak fingers are strips of top sirloin that are battered and fried. They are served with ranch and barbeque sauce, I preferred the barbeque sauce. We also got some bison nachos. The nachos were topped with bison chili, tomatoes, and shredded cheddar cheese. The nachos also come with jalepenos, but we asked that they be removed. The nachos were served with sour cream and some great pico. Both dishes (appetizers) were great and the portions were huge, especially for being appetizers! Breahna was our waitress and she was very nice and attentive. read more

Best breakfast that we had in West Yellowstone. Fluffy pancakes and biscuits, delicious sausage gravy and spot on hash browns! I had to try the bison sausage and it was good but more like a dense hamburger patty than sausage, as it was lacking the sausage flavored spices. The pork sausage patty; however, was just perfection! Get that! Yum! Oh and the coffee... soooo good! Locally roasted and wonderful without any acidity. Loved it! Our server Maya was great and the restaurant is adorable! Highly recommended. read more

You know you're not going to have a great experience when the waiter says "ugh I hate when they put people back here during busy hours". Meals were expensive and were served luke warm. Service was sub-par at best and we never got our pitcher refilled once. Definitely not the hidden gem of this town as I hoped it would be. 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

Nice breakfast selections, decent prices for the middle of yellowstone. I had eggs, hashbrowns, bacon and toast, just a simple breakfast, but it was good. read more

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

Been going here for years and tastes good. They recently got a new chef though and I was blown away at the upgrade. So so good. Everyone in our group was very impressed and everything was delicious and well thought out. I got the salmon and loved ever bite- went back the night after and got the same thing again because it was so delicious. Service was flawless and we were attended to well. We had breakfast one morning too. I got the veggie omelet with hash browns and biscuit- my favorite breakfast choice. Really happy with the new menu options and flavors. Don't hesitate to go! read more

The atmosphere was beautifully rustic to reflect the mountainous wilderness surroundings. The food was beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious. I had the 16oz pork chop and husband had the Bison Ribeye. 6'7" Kevin was our waiter. He was informative and helpful with our menu questions as well as offering sweet tidbits of humor. The host & hostess were efficient and courteous. Chef is clearly very talented and he took time to inquire about our meal. Three Bear Restaurant is highly recommended when visiting Yellowstone.

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

We stopped in for dinner & the breakfast buffet. For dinner we had a burger & fries. It was just ok, nothing to want to go again. We had the breakfast buffet (free because we stayed at hotel) it was better than dinner. 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

Usually when a place throws free breakfast into your room rate you wind up with an unappealing, help-yourself mish-mosh of bagels, yogurt, and waffle batter. At Three Bear Lodge they understand that's not what anyone wants so the free breakfast that comes with your stay there is at an actual sit-down restaurant where you're waited on by friendly servers. The breakfast choices you supposedly get to pick from are quite ample and varied but both days that I went to claim my free breakfast the rules were more expansive than I'd understood. Basically, each person is given a credit of $8 towards whatever they want on the menu and $8 at breakfast in West Yellowstone goes a pretty long ways. Each day, my breakfasts were quite good and ample and went a long ways towards filling my stomach before heading into Yellowstone Park. The place itself is all wood and vintage photos (like Three Bear Lodge itself) and is just what one expects in a small, national park-adjacent town. Breakfasts and decor are solid, not trendy. Although they're open for dinner as well, there's places in town that interested me more. But even if I'd not been given a free breakfast with my room, I feel comfortable steering you here for a solid and satisfying breakfast. read more

I had a bison burger. It was very yummy. We also shared their nachos. They too were also very good.

You may not know, but I'm as southern as grits and sweet tea, so this review is going to make my grandma turn over in her grave. I'm on vacation with friends and we stopped here for breakfast. It is a very comfortable, log cabin style restaurant with some bears and mountain decorations, with a small breakfast buffet with a great selection of breakfast food options. The service was friendly, fast and efficient, while very welcoming. I opted for the breakfast buffet and got my usual scrambled eggs and started eyeing the other options. I decided to try the biscuits because they looked, large, fluffy and cooked to a golden brown. I hadn't had biscuits and gravy in a while so I added some sausage gravy, that looked like typical sausage gravy, then decided to put it on my eggs too. Let me tell you, that was the best breakfast decision I've made in a very long time! Between the biscuits being prepared to utter perfection and tasting better than any biscuits I've ever eaten (sorry Grandma), the sausage gravy was even better! Everyone at the table got a biscuit and LOVED them, but the gravy stole the show with its savory flavor! My wife gave me a taste of her pancakes, which were quite good, but didn't take me regret my decision. If you are near this place for breakfast I can't imagine a better decision. read more

The three bears restaurant was a warm spot for our finally day in Yellowstone. Our server Diana was very attentive and kind! Thank you for the amazing service! read more

We wandered in, tired and hungry and got treated like family. The food was absolutely fantastic....

1. Kids yelling 2. So so food 3. To wait staff about not so food. 4 wait staff laugh at me about food. 5 this upset both of us and we deserve an apology. 7. I guest you do not like travelers???? read more

This is right on one of the main retail shopping areas, it's a good solid restaurant. I had the prime rib, which was tasty. Parking was easy for us, but it is in a higher traffic area frequented by visiting tourists. The service was fast and friendly. read more

Wonderful food! My husband had that bison rib,eye and it was perfect. I had the prime rib and it was absolutely delicious. Their roasted asparagus is supreme! Our waiter was super nice and attentive also. Would definitely go back! read more

Service is great. Breakfast buffet was mediocre quality at best. Scrambled eggs was very crumbly and potatoes a bit hard. We were served cold coffee at first then the waitress gave me a fresh cup after I asked if it could be warmed up. Overall not the best dining but location is very convenient and outside of beautiful Yellowstone so I'd still be back. read more

Worst food experience in West Yellowstone. Arrived around 6:45. Between waiting for a table, extremely slow service, hardly seeing our server, waiting for check, etc we did not leave until after 9pm. Server was very nice but too busy. Food was yucky. We ordered the kids hamburger, meatloaf, buffalo hamburger, appetizers, chicken. Much of it was very weird. We normally always ask for a dogie bag but we did not want to taste this food again. read more

Just find another place to eat. Don't waste your time here, because you WILL be waiting around an hour for your food. My husband said the coffee was good. Food was bland I used salt, pepper, and hot sauce for my omelette. And they advertised hashbrowns with the omelettes and we just got buttered potatoes. Service was okay. They do have restrooms and take debit/credit. Decor was old and outdated but we didn't mind that much. read more

one of the more reasonably priced restaurant in town. Eddie was our server and was charming. we started off with fried eggplant and salmon croquettes.

Montana cozy. Had breakfast buffet and it had something for everyone's likes and was quick and delicious! Had dinner and menu had many local dishes plus a nightly special.

Who knew? Two of the best meals we've had on our very extended trip were here, in tiny West Yellowstone. (And we spent week dining in New Orleans on the way here) Because of the short notice, be bought a lodging/tour package at the Three Bear Lodge, and it included a prime rib dinner. "OK". I thought. "It's included, so we will take advantage of it. 1. Meat cooked to our desired doneness and fresh ground horseradish. 2. A baked potato that could float on air. 3. Fresh roasted Brussels Sprouts with a sweet/tart seasoning that was perfection. Okay. So we went back tonight 1. Fresh wild trout. It came with a cornbread Cajun crust. I asked if I could have it just sautéed plain. Oh my gosh. So delicious. 2. Repeat of above mentioned potato 3. Baby asparagus. But somehow the chef has cooked the stalks perfectly AND gotten the tips just the tiniest bit crispy. I wanted to ask the chef how he did it but my husband said I had used up all my chef questions the night before on the Horseradish. 4. Dessert. Saffron flavored Italian fried donuts/beignet type sweet with a chocolate dipping sauce. They would have floated off the table they were so light. And let's talk about the biscuits at breakfast. We actually went out and bought honey to take to breakfast the next day because those biscuits deserved better than Kraft jam. So. If you are going to Yellowstone this year look up the Three Bear lodge. The chef went to culinary school school, trained of San Francisco, and has worked in various locales. He's been there a year. They are so lucky to have him. read more

Had dinner there tonight. Was very, very disappointing. 3 of us had the prime rib/1 ordered country fried steak. All of us had baked potatoes that were large and cooked perfectly but had to ask for more butter. 3 of us ordered the veggies. Waiter told us mix of broccoli, green beans and carrots. Came out with corn instead of carrots and all of them cold upon serving. Server went to get us hot ones. They still came out lukewarm. The prime rib was overcooked, (we all ordered medium rare), tough and fatty. If you are a server and come to clear a table and everyone's plate are still full, wouldn't you ask if something was wrong? We are the bread, drank our drinks, 1 ate her incredibly small salad but everyone basically had full plates to clear. Would not recommend at all. read more

Mediocre AT BEST. Waited 45 minutes on wait list. Food took just as long to make and tasted as thought it had been sitting under heat lamps. Someone said this place is amazing. I disagree! ESPECIALLY for the prices they charge. Use wise judgement and check out all other restaurants options in town. read more

Service was very, very slow. The food was okay, about what you expect from a breakfast place, but if you don't have an hour and a half to wait, this isn't the right choice. Signs at the door say no To-Go orders due to short staffing. Prices are comparatively reasonable for this area. Atmosphere was rustic, booths were small for our hefty fellas. Again, very, very slow service and basic breakfast food. read more

We have been in West Yellowstone for 3 days and the 3 Bears Restaurant is THE PLACE to dine or have a great drink at its Grizzly Bar! The food is amazing . We've tried the salmon (always cooked just right) the Bison Burger, Salmon salad. The waitresses are all so sweet & try so hard to make your dining special. Isaac, in the Grizzly Bar, is in my opinion, the best bar tender in town. He makes wonderful drinks to compliment your dinner! Huckleberry is the 'Taste of the Hour' and Issac is a master at making perfect Huckleberry drinks! Tonite we tried Huckleberry Mules and Huckleberry Margaritas.. both totally delicious!. Give the 3 Bears Restaurant and the Grizzly Bar a try.. it's a great place to wait for your turn to dine! read more
