4 Best Restaurants in Jackson Hole and Northwest Wyoming, Wyoming

Nora's is one of those inimitable Western places that has earned their keep as a local treasure among its many loyal customers. It's also earned the approval of Guy Fieri, who featured this little log inn on his show Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives in 2014. It's a great spot to fill up on a breakfast of sourdough pancakes or huevos rancheros. Expect hearty entrees such as trout amandine, prime rib, chicken-fried tofu, and Cornish game hen. For more casual fare, hit up Nora's pizza shack that serves New York-style pies. 

The best seating at this rustic-contemporary bakery café a short stroll east of Jackson Town Square is on the spacious, shaded deck overlooking lively Broadway Avenue. Choose from an extensive menu of eclectic breakfast and lunch fare, including egg peperonata, brioche French toast with seasonal fruit compote, and one of the best jambon-beurres you'll find outside of Paris. At the very least, you need to try a plain croissant, made with 100-percent European butter. Persephone is a good, albeit pricey, stop for pre-sightseeing picnic supplies, too. There's another location in Wilson, too.

Smoked pork shoulder served with an array of house sauces and mouthwatering prime beef brisket are the specialties at this busy barbecue joint, which evokes the Old West with its wooden booths, Western paintings, and antique signs. Sandwiches and salads (try the homemade barbecue ranch dressing) are also available. This is also one of the best breakfast options in Jackson, but there can be long waits in summer or winter. Desserts include homemade chocolate buttermilk pie and ice cream. 

Opened in 2019, Mulino filled a need for casual fine dining in Lander. Its menu isn't massive, but it does include fresh salads with premium ingredients like pickled plum and golden raisin, homemade pasta with a variety of sauces, and a creative seasonal menu. Romantic vibes make it the ultimate local date-night spot.
