We ate here because someone we met on the street out front said it was good. The soup and salad bar was good, but we ordered the broasted chicken which is one of their specialties and it was dry, salty and overly fried. We also thought the servers seemed harried which made for an unrelaxed atmosphere. Wouldn't go back.

I had the Bison steak medium-rare (recommended). The chef did an excellent job preparing the meal. The Bison sold in restaurants are farm raised, not wild, so don't expect a gamey flavor. The salad bar was good, but needs a few more items. Still, it was a very good experience.

After searching West Yellowstone for a dinner that wasn't deep fried or reminiscent of the 1950's, we gave up and ate here. Same old, same old. The service was rattled, and it isn't even full summer yet. The shrimp and broasted chicken were just OK, the salad bar contained mostly head lettuce and canned items to pile on, and the... More

We came here for dessert and would've been happier at the Dairy Queen. We had the brownie and a sundae. Both were decent but nothing that a fast food place couldn't do. 3 out of 4 glasses were dirty. I would not eat there again.

We stopped in here for dinner off of a recommendation from the manager of the hotel we were staying in. It's ok, but I had wondered if they also owned this one or knew the owners well. Food was ok, but nothing special. Service was average. Daughters ordered the spagetti...one adult entree and one kids version. The only difference was... More

We chose the salad bar for dinner- no entree- because there was a good variety of salad items. My husband chose the soup and salad but I did not care for either of the 2 choices of soup. No complaints - even included a roll. The entrees being served to other tables looked good so we would return if in... More

Waited over 30 minutes for food after ordering. Food delivered incorrectly - wrong side with entre. Baked potato cold. Butter for baked potato totally melted and spilled out of container. Spent 90 frustrating minutes in restaurant. Should have stayed in the bar.

We stayed at the Three Bear Lodge, so ate here a couple times during our stay. All of us loved everything we had here. Great place to eat in West Yellowstone.

After an overall disappointing experience at the Running Bear restaurant, my wife and I decide to give the Three Bear a try, and the difference was night and day! Service was snappy and very friendly. Price was actually slightly lower than Running Bear, and yet the portions were much larger, and the food was a vast improvement in taste and... More

We arrived less than an hour before closing and were worried about keeping them open late. However, the service was quick and the food was very good. I had the soup and salad bar and really enjoyed the soup. My daughters each had leftovers and they gave us utensil packets in addition to boxes which made eating them the next... More
