Overview

About This Establishment

The Three Bear Lodge dining room wears a rustic, log-cabin skin with Yellowstone character. The Big Game Meatloaf—elk, bison, and beef—shows a crusty edge and a juicy center; Prime Rib slices are thick with a fat cap that melts into the bite. Bison Burger risks dryness when the grill runs hot, while Elk Stuffed Pasta delivers tender elk in a bold sauce. Grab a Huckleberry Lemon Drop from the Grizzly Lounge for a tart, bright finish.

Our server, Ryan, was great. We really appreciate that he came to tell us the cook had to leave, so our food was going to take a little longer. He was very profession and a great server! Ryan made great food recommendations and the food was excellent! He made sure our coffee and waters were topped off and checked on us often. It was a great experience! We ordered the Breakfast Sandwich (huge portion size) and crispy French toast.

Just outside west park entrance along "restaurant row". Food was good. I had the broasted chicken ($26) which had four smallish pieces of chicken in a wonderful buttermilk batter crust. My son had the bison burger ($22) and my wife had a bison and elk skewer appetizer and brie appetizer for her meal. Adventure food.

Delightful restaurant & excellent serviceby all the staff. Delicious dinner of prime rib & 3 bears meatloaf, with very plentiful portions. Very good salads & dressings plus bread rolls. And a Cold Smoke ale to top.dinner off.
