I was super happy to find a Dutton Ranch hat here! We dined in for dinner one night. My oldest and I got the bison tacos. They were wonderful! They're served with chips, so when the fillings fall out of the tacos, you then have nachos! My youngest got a chicken sandwich and really liked it. She and I shared a huckleberry milkshake which was served with a mini donut on the straw. It was delicious and refreshing! We stopped by here again for huckleberry matchas and those were amazing as well. I'd highly recommend checking this place out!

The elk and regular burger was cooked to perfection, juicy, incredibly flavorful, and seasoned just right. You can immediately taste the quality. Paired with great sides, it was exactly what we needed and easily the tastiest meal we've had all week. On top of that, the service was outstanding. The staff was warm, welcoming, and fast, making us feel right at home the second we walked in. The place itself has an awesome, classic Montana vibe that fits Gardiner perfectly, charming, rustic, and full of character. If you are visiting Yellowstone or passing through Gardiner, do not skip The Corral. Five stars all the way!

Wonderland Cafe caused me to break one of my chief vacation rules. I never dine on the same place…read moretwice. But Wonderland's menu had so many yummy things, I simply had to come back! The first visit, my friend and I split a burger that was really tasty, moist and well accessorized. We got fries and a side salad and both were great accompaniments. The second time, I was hungrier and so excited to try the amazing bison ravioli. My only regret was the one that fell onto the bar when I was offering a taste to my friend. A whole ravioli went un-enjoyed by a tragic fumble of the fork. The ravioli was delicious and clearly made with love. The cream sauce was surprisingly light for a creamy sauce. I believe this could easily be their signature dish. My friend also had a pasta dish and really enjoyed it. Ambiance-wise, it can't be beat. I was genuinely taken by the collection of Nate Udd's artwork available for purchase, as well as the work of several other artists and photographers.

Tumbleweed was an okay breakfast experience, but nothing that really stood out…read more It's another order-at-the-counter setup where you're asked to tip before you've actually received any food or service--a practice I'm just not a fan of. I had the standard breakfast, which was served in a to-go carton even though we were eating there. The meal was okay overall, but the potatoes were not good. Service was just okay as well. We sat outside on the patio, but it was a hot day, so the outdoor seating wasn't particularly comfortable. Overall, it did the job for breakfast, but with so many places to choose from, there are definitely better options in Gardiner.

There is a shelf right next to the cash register where you can grab whichever ones you want and bring it back to your table. We were already trying these before we had our food. The cafe itself is super cute and cozy with plants all around and different pieces of art. They even sell items from local artists including beef tallow lotion and earrings. They have a clean bathroom and an outdoor eating area. They have a vast menu for lunch where the sandwiches are names after dogs and a smaller menu for breakfast. We go there around 11 and were able to order from both so unsure if there is a time limit for either. The staff were so sweet and gave their recommendations and even though it's a cafe, they will bring out your food for you when it's ready. We did still bring our dishes back to the counter, unsure how they generally do that though. We asked for pickles and they kindly gave us some. The burritos were huge and filling but the sandwiches themselves were also good. Unsure what names were but I didn't love the one with the carrots in them. The staff recommended the breakfast sandwich with the biscuit, and although it was good, the biscuit was not the best choice. It broke so easily and made a mess. Unsure of the name of the drink but it was like a lemonade and it was delicious. Definitely would come back and try more hot sauce though

We are here twice and had wildly different experiences…read more Our first visit here was Thursday evening and the food, service and overall experience were excellent. Our second visit here was Monday evening and the food, service and overall experience was not very good. On Thursday we were given a children's menu, on Monday none was offered. We asked for the BBQ chicken sandwich for my 1 year old, but asked for just the chicken, no bun and the sauce to be on the side. Was served exactly as we asked. On Monday it was served just as it is on the menu, we had to send it back as my baby won't eat any sauce on chicken. Which is why we wanted it on the side so we can continue to try to introduce sauce to him but also get him to eat some plain chicken. On Thursday I had the pulled pork sandwich and fries. It was great. On Monday I had the quesadilla with barbicoa beef. The meat was excellent, but the bottom side of my quesadilla was soggy, not crispy at all and wet when it was served to me. On Thursday my husband had the Dizzy buffalo burger with the cheese curds, he liked it. On Monday he had the Westerner sandwich, he said it wasn't great. He ended up only having a couple of bites. I'm not sure what the difference was, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that hopefully they were just having an off night. Round out the two visits at 3 stars. I'd give them another shot if we visit again since one time was a really great experience.

If you wanted to sit outside, you had to order Togo.

We ordered the burrito, which was a great item to split. They put the cheese on top of the burrito.. and were out of knives, so in order to eat it... we had to pry it apart with the plastic spoon and forks that we got. The chili was a complete disappointment.. I was really looking forward to it.. there was ONE block of meat... again, no knives so you couldn't really try and cut it apart and enjoy it in a few bites either..

The food is good - BUT - this place is kind of a hot mess…read more We came for breakfast on a Sunday. They were out of a lot of things. Also - if you drink coffee - the espresso machine was broken. My husband wanted a biscuit breakfast sandwich with sausage - they were out of biscuits. So I got him a bagel breakfast sandwich with sausage instead. I ordered sausage links for my baby, I asked if they had any kind of fruit I could buy for my baby. They said no that they only had bananas for smoothies - which is odd being a place that sells fruit smoothies... For myself I ordered a croissant sausage breakfast sandwich and a mango madness smoothie). My mother in law wanted a lotus energy drink - but they were out of lotus syrup. A few minutes later the gal that rang us up came to our table and let us know they were out of sausage for breakfast sandwiches. Asked what we wanted instead. They still has sausage links, so that's what we had on our sandwiches. When our food was ready they brought everything over except the sausage for my baby - which they clearly forgot to make cause that was a long wait till it arrived (5 or more minutes). Putting food in front of a hungry baby and none of it is for him is not a good idea lol. My husband ended up giving him his sausage and wait to eat his sandwich till they brought more over. I also gave my baby some of my smoothie - the smoothie was good. So, out of several items, and forgot part of our order.... Just seemed a bit chaotic. Food and smoothie was good and the people who work there are nice.

As a solo traveler, I am not unused to being treated as an other when dining by myself, but it's extremely disappointing that the restaurant attached to the hotel I'm paying hundreds of dollars to stay at wouldn't serve me because they didn't want to give a two or four top to a party only able to give them $20 maximum. The ironic part? I was just looking to have some fruit and protein and I would have been out of their hair in less than 30 minutes. I wouldn't suggest coming here as a small party and if you're one who wants breakfast at the place you're staying at, I'd also reconsider staying at Ridgeline.
