Wonderful food. Fair portion sizes. Cost is relatively good when compared to other local restaurants. I had the pancake sandwich and left satisfied!

We ate here this morning based on Trip Advisor reviews and thought it was great. We had wonderful and friendly service. We had the eggs benedict which was very good - just one egg was slightly overcooked, and Spanish omelet which was huge and delicious. Also shared one pancake which was very large and definitely worth ordering. The english muffins... More

We had an early start to Yellowstone and stopped for breakfast. The choices were numerous and could be customized to your wishes. I had chicken fried steak with gravy. Both were done just right and the home fries were some of the best I have ever eaten. An egg done to perfection rounded out a great meal. My wife had... More

On our last trip to Yellowstone, my wife and I came here for breakfast, having heard it was among the best in town. But frankly, I was not impressed. Everything about the experience was mediocre. Poor value for the price, service was inattentive, and I distinctly remember it taking a very long time to get the check. Overall, underwhelmed, disappointed,... More

This restaurant has fewer choices for pancakes than you would guess based on its name, especially for kids. But my kids were happy with their pancakes. I had an omelette and it was pretty good.My wife had her basic 2 eggs over easy and liked it. Decent prices and lots of food but average service. We would do it again... More

We had a very tasty breakfast here. It seemed to be a popular place and was quite busy. The staff was friendly and attentive. I would return.

I have eaten at the Running Bear many times and have always found it pleasant. The service has always been prompt, the food good and the quantities are enough to fill up a man. I like to eat :)

This restaurant was on my list of places to eat based on reviews on Trip Advisor. I am glad that I listened to the reviews. The service was great, the food was fantastic. We even shared a large single pancake. Just loved the warmed syrup in little pitchers. You get a lot of food so bring a huge appetite. Wished... More

How do you get excited about breakfast? In West Yellowstone you go to the Running Bear Pancake House. One of our party was gluten intolerant so we have to search for restaurants with that in mind. When the owners at the Moose Creek Inn suggested that Running Bear offered gluten free options. He was able to have toast, pancakes, waffles,... More
