TR’s Burgers

DiningCLOSED TEMPORARILY★ 4.7
Burgers restaurant storefront in Yellowstone National Park.

Juicy patties meet sturdy Montana Wheat buns with a snap at the edges. The President Burger is a thick, bold creation; the Ranger stacks two 1/4 lb patties with bully sauce and pickles. The Bison Burger carries a gamey depth that stands up to the toppings, while hand-cut fries stay crisp in the peanut oil fry. Roosevelt-themed, family-friendly ambiance keeps the mood warm and easy.
