The restaurant is very nice with a large bar and plenty of seating. The drinks a tasty and the servers are very accommodating.

I had the build your own omelette. That was great. But the potatoes were just plain but not greasy,which I like. The potatoes need something with them like onions or bell peppers. Our server Rick was great! The coffee was really good. There is some train car to see near the entrance (time period piece).

We arrived here hungry after a long day. There was no wait and the dinning atmosphere was warm. We were starving, but the food, in our opinion, was not good. The fish and chips were fishy, the salmon (despite asking for it to be cooked medium) was dried out and the buffalo stroganoff was just not that great. We were disappointed as we were hoping this would be our go-to place to eat since we were staying at the Holiday Inn. Maybe it was an off night!

We paid for a private dining experience in the rail car and were thrilled with the experience. The chef, Kevin Proper had as much fun creating the courses as we had enjoying them! Having been a summer resident since 1986 I can honestly say this was the best dining experience I have ever had in West Yellowstone.
The restaurant had good food, but the atmosphere is mixed: part bar, part sports bar, part dining. The servers are good, but somewhat inattentive.

My wife and I are here vacationing, I know, what a surprise!!! We’re staying at the amazing Holiday Inn in West Yellowstone and this restaurant is attached to it. We came in for breakfast before exploring. Our waitress Annie was outstanding!!! Friendly and when asked she gave us some good ideas for our day today in Yellowstone. The food is fantastic! I had ham, eggs and breakfast potatoes with wheat bread. My wife a Huckleberry Monte Carlo. Delicious!!The amount of food we have been served was crazy good. Best breakfast I’ve had in a long time. Would highly recommend this restaurant for anyone that comes through here.

The breakfast food was horrible for the price. They had powdered eggs and burnt sausage along with typical continental breakfast items for $17. The service and atmosphere including the train car was awesome tho

Something was definitely missed and I was looking forward to something decent but I’m gonna spend my week going elsewhere. The only thing nailed was my burger. First off for the price I expected more. The Roosevelt burger was pulled off with a toasted bun so it wouldn’t be soggy, yet the lettuce and tomato leaked all over the bottom before I could get it to my hotel 1 minute away. The bison stroganoff had a huge slap of sour cream on the top masking any taste it did have. The wings were great but the sauce leaked all over our celery, carrots and chips. Maybe consider using a different box or some sort of divider. Fries were just standard. I think more time spent with the to go orders is DEFINITELY needed to avoid a review like this. The restaurant was a lounge / bar type and very cute though. With every dish there was a ‘but’ so please take that into consideration ….
Oh and there was zero dressing for my salad so thank God I always check my orders

I can, of course, only judge the food off of what we tried. It was one of the best Caesar salads I have had! The swiss and mushroom burger was very straight forward (strong swiss and mushroom flavor) and I guess I would have liked to see it elevated with more flavors. Love the atmosphere and they seem to have many other great dishes that I’d be willing to come back and try!

We had a nice evening going to this restaurant. We were surprised by how good the food was that we did order. Service was friendly and the waiter was attentive. The restaurant is clean and has a very pleasant atmosphere. My favorite food from menu Bizon Stroganoff, chicken taco, fish and chips. We will come back

Ended up here because it was close to the main drag, and the railroad memorabilia piqued my interests (had a nice rail scene outside that continued into the building with an actual period passenger rail car with historical infographics).
Was quickly met by an awkward transition into some sort of sports bar that had a few big tvs hanging on the walls and some Yellowstone-esque posters in-between (the park, not the Kevin Costner tv show, mind you).
Our server, Myles – was very professional and attentive, and sitting down, we expected the menu prices would probably be a bit high, being the touristy town it is (where something as American as the Big Mac combo at McD’s is Snoop-Dogg comparable) – but being it’s my wife and I’s honeymoon – thought we’d throw caution to the wind and splurge a bit on our entrees. Her – the citrus salmon, me the 12 oz. “blackened bleu” NY strip, ($32 and $36, respectively). Figured it would at least be a memorable last meal before heading home.
Our meals arrived very quickly – which I assumed was because the kitchen just wasn’t that busy at the time (in retrospect, a red flag?) – but any excitement we had slowly started to melt away after a few bites.
‘Caesar’ salad straight-up looked and tasted like your average grade-school salad bar, with that weird imitation ranch dressing, but at least the croutons were pleasantly crunchy (my school had only perfected stale).
The citrus salmon was true to the name – infused with lemons, which also adorned the plate for those wishing to double-down and pucker – but a bit heavy on the oil, which must really be something when your Italian wife mentions it.
The steak is really what we need to discuss though… with cattle farms a plenty in the area – surely they could get better cuts than these (a bit better than Golden Coral, or possibly Applebee’s – but no Texas Roadhouse or Longhorns).
Apparently the chef’s interpretation of ‘blackened’ is coarse black pepper flakes, and ‘bleu’ is in name only (the Rockefeller sauce was COMPLETELY absent). Don’t get me wrong – S&P is the life for me – but when I brought this to our server’s attention – according to him – it’s never been present on any previous servings. That right there is sad enough to bring a tear to a glass eye.
Maybe it was an off night, or maybe the best chef took off to elope with a park ranger – but either way, this stop was a let down to these meat-loving red-blooded/red-voting firecracker-shooting motorbike riding mid-westerners. Bad gas travels fast in a small town, please get things sorted out.
