4 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.

The Lone Buffalo Steakhouse

Svilar's Steak House & Bar

$$$ Fodor's Choice

This small, dark, family-owned restaurant with vinyl booths has what many locals say are the best steaks in Wyoming. A meal here usually begins with sarma (cabbage rolls) and other appetizers. Your server will then place before you one of the biggest, if not the biggest, and best steaks you've likely ever seen. Baked lobster, deep-fried shrimp, and crab legs are options for seafood lovers. 

The Bear Den Restaurant and Bar

$$$

A favorite of locals, the Bear Den serves up traditional steak-house favorites and more including shrimp tacos, corned beef, and daily pasta specials. Kids can order off the cub's menu which features the usual suspects.

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.
