The Mammoth Dining Room serves American fare built on sustainable, local ingredients. The bison brats deliver a plump bite with crispy skin and grilled onions, while the bison sliders and wild game meatballs snap with savory notes. Pistachio-Parmesan Trout adds Montana flavor, with gluten-free pasta and buns available on request. Sitting in the Mammoth Hotel, the mirrors from 1883 National Hotel add a quiet, historical mood as elk and bison roam the parade grounds outside.

Small, unassuming cafe serving burgers, sandwiches, salads, specialty coffees and gelatto, sorbet, and soft serve. A little more expensive, but well worth it. Their "ultimate smashburgers" aren't really flattened patties.. they're full size. $18.66 for a triple and .95 cents to add cheese. My strawberry avocado salad is huge. $14 for field greens, thick sliced strawberries, half an avocado, goat cheese, and raspberry balsamic vinaigrette. This place should honestly be much busier. Kitchen closes earlier than real closing time.

Best cup of coffee since arriving at Yellowstone and a very good breakfast sandwich - I recommend taking the time to dine in! Was tempted to have gelato for breakfast because it looked really good!

The 4.3 average didn’t sway us to eat here but we gave it a shot anyway. -The gelato was outstanding -the espresso was better than expected and very good. -we had the french toast delight which included french toast, eggs and bacon. The french toast looked amazing but was average. A different/thicker bread choice would have elevated it.One thing to be aware of, the chef is not in daily which impacts the menu dramatically. We didn’t eat here other day assuming the food was pre-made and warmed to order. That wasn’t what we were after.
