3 Best Restaurants in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming
Though the park itself has some excellent restaurants, don't miss dining in Jackson, where chefs apply European and other cooking techniques to game, fowl, and fish dishes and generally include vegetarian entrées. Steaks are usually cut from grass-fed Wyoming or Montana beef, but you'll also find buffalo and elk on the menu; poultry and pasta are offered by most restaurants, as are fresh salads and fish (trout, tilapia, and salmon are most common). Just about everywhere, you can order a burger or a bowl of soup. Casual is the word for most dining within and outside the park. An exception is Jenny Lake Lodge, where jackets and ties for men are recommended for dinner. Breakfast is big: steak and eggs, pancakes, biscuits and gravy; lunches are lighter, often taken in a sack to enjoy on the trail.
Ranch House at Colter Bay Village
The casual Ranch House offers friendly service and caters to different diets, making it a good choice for families with picky eaters who can't take another cafeteria meal. The menu for both lunch and dinner leans heavily toward barbecue platters at dinner, with sandwiches, salads, and burgers at lunch. Vegetarians have alternatives though like the grilled portobello sandwich and build-your-own pasta station. For breakfast, make a trip (or two) to the outstanding buffet.
The Trapper Grill
Located in Signal Mountain Lodge, The Trapper Grill serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, all with a million-dollar view of the mountains and Jackson Lake. The nachos here are huge (one order can feed an entire family), and vegetarians will be pleased with the "Trailhead" wrap. Meanwhile, meat-eaters can’t get enough of the chili, made with wild game, and the braised bison stew. For breakfast, try a homemade blueberry muffin or the Teton omelet featuring honey ham.
