13 Best Restaurants in Jackson Hole and Northwest Wyoming, Wyoming

Background Illustration for Restaurants

Northwest Wyoming has many restaurants. Anyplace you go, you’ll find basic Western fare such as steaks, chicken, and burgers; in Jackson there’s a wider selection, with menus listing everything from Mexican and Thai dishes to trout, buffalo, and elk. There are also a few fine-dining establishments in the region. Arguably the best steaks in all of Wyoming are prepared at Svilars', a steak house in the tiny community of Hudson, east of Lander.

Bin 22

$$$$ Fodor's Choice

Step inside this rambling wine-centric market, bar, and café to stock up on to-go bottles and finely curated picnic supplies, or dine in. The menu tends toward shareable small plates that pair well with the interesting vinos—consider a selection of imported salumi and cheeses, or Spanish- and Italian-inspired platters of patatas bravas with roasted-garlic aioli, burrata caprese, and stuffed piquillo peppers.

Cowfish

$$$$ Fodor's Choice

This funky restaurant on Main Street has haute cuisine from both land and water. For starters try the ahi tuna poke avocado stack or crispy brussels sprouts served with a balsamic reduction. Entrées in the restaurant include highlights such as a 16-ounce rib-eye steak, slow-cooked baby back ribs, cow tip tenderloin pasta, and Skuna Bay salmon. The pub side of the place—yes, there's a pub, too—has more casual fare like local burgers and fish and chips. 

Gather

$$$$ Fodor's Choice

This stylish purveyor of locavore-driven modern American cuisine is a popular spot to hit up before attending a show at the nearby Center for the Arts. The menu changes seasonally but might feature a bison brisket accompanied by a farro risotto, homemade truffle pasta, and elk Bolognese. The Gather burger comes with a Wagyu beef blend topped with smoked Gouda. It's probably the only place in town where you can get a traditional root beer float (featuring Henry Reinhard's Root Beer) for dessert.

Local Restaurant & Bar

$$$$ Fodor's Choice

This contemporary American steak house is located right on Jackson's historic town square and serves locally ranched beef, bison, and elk. Come for a fine-dining quality meal, but without the stuffy atmosphere. You may be sitting next to a member of the Jackson elite or a Wyoming rancher. Bring the family, and order the chef's choice "M&M," a rotating selection of custom steaks served family-style.

Nora's Fish Creek Inn

$$$$ Fodor's Choice

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 Blue Lion

$$$$

Since its opening in 1978, consistently excellent, distinctive fare has been the rule at this white-and-blue clapboard house two blocks from Town Square. The sophisticated offerings range from New Zealand rack of lamb to elk tenderloin with port wine sauce to fresh fish dishes, including rainbow trout. There's patio dining in summer and an excellent wine list.

FIGS

$$$$

Dinner at Figs, which is on the first floor of the hip Hotel Jackson, is a hot reservation in a town with no other options for Lebanese food. For breakfast, you can’t go wrong with the shakshuka, but the best way to do lunch or dinner here is to order a bunch of small plates to pass around and maybe get a kebab or shawarma to share. There are only a handful of tables and a few booths, so it is especially busy on weekends, when you are unlikely to land a spot without a reservation.

Il Villaggio Osteria

$$$$

Underneath rustic barnwood timbers and columns or on an open-air patio, diners enjoy the flavors of Italy fused with fresh, inventive touches. Start with the fried calamari, rosemary roasted olives, or mussels Triestina before tucking into a generous slice of gooey lasagna. Part of the eco-chic Hotel Terra, the restaurant also serves brunch. Favorites include the sweet cream ricotta pancakes and wild mushroom and egg tartine.

Mangy Moose

$$$$

Folks pour in off the ski slopes for a lot of food and talk at this two-level restaurant with a bar and an outdoor deck facing the mountain. If you can endure the noise, you'll enjoy dishes like elk empanadas, bison carpaccio, and fig bleu cheese flatbread. Reservations for dinner are recommended, and the saloon/bar is a popular nightspot often featuring live music.

$$$$

One of Jackson's mainstays for special-occasion dining, this sophisticated restaurant serves creatively prepared dishes using meats and fish loved across the West. The menu changes regularly, reflecting what's available in the market, and the extensive wine list has garnered countless awards.

Spur

$$$$

What Spur lacks in mountain views it more than makes up for with its memorable entrées like flavorful Skuna Bay blackened salmon. That said, it’s not uncommon for diners to fill up on starters and cocktails (both are excellent) and not even make it to their main meal. Recently renovated and located on the first floor of Teton Mountain Lodge, Spur also serves breakfast. With its buffalo bratwurst, the carnivore omelet is a good choice, but you also can’t go wrong with the huckleberry buttermilk pancakes. A retractable glass wall opens onto a patio for the summer months.

Steadfire Chophouse

$$$$

This posh, and equally pricey, slopeside establishment in the Four Seasons opened in July 2025. While the raw menu boasts a dreamy caviar trio and Wyoming's best attempt at a seafood tower, the melt-in-your-mouth steaks are the real draw here. Opt for the wagyu trio tasting if you want to sample a smattering. Besides beef, you'll also find elk, Idaho trout, Alaska salmon, bison, and pork on the menu. Vegetarians can get by with a risotto or a few sides. While Steadfire Chophouse serves breakfast, too, at eye-popping prices, you’re best saving your budget to splurge at dinner.

The Whistling Grizzly

$$$$

Although the crowd here skews older (think baby boomers, not millennials), this is a restaurant where you go for the food, not the vibe. It’s located inside the Wyoming Inn, so there’s no outdoor space, but it’s a cozy place to dine in the winter, and there’s a full-service bar. The food menu is short at only one page, but it’s still hard to decide between entrees like brown butter diver scallops, pumpkin pasta, and Rocky Mountain elk tenderloin. The restaurant closes early, at 9 pm, but it is open again at 7 am and offers some of the most reasonably priced breakfast entrées in Jackson.
