Canyon Eatery — Restaurant in West Yellowstone

This is probably one of the best places to eat in the park. They provide a variety of food.

People are complaining about prices. Hello, you're in a national park which is far away from the nearest town. All national park restaurants are going to be more expensive than your usual restaurant where you live. It costs money to ship all food supplies into the parks. Bring your own food or stop complaining.

The main line serves breakfast which we felt was pretty good. For lunch, they have hamburgers, hot dogs, chili, soup, chicken tenders, Buffalo Chicken wrap, among other selections. They do offer vegan sandwiches. At dinner, they offer trout, rotisserie chicken, meatballs, and Beyond Meat Swiss Steak (yuck). We haven't tried dinner there yet, but the chicken and meatballs sound good.

To the far left of the building, there are two gift shops. There is also a coffee cafe and an ice cream parlor. Haven't tried those either, but the coffee smells so good.

Next to the main line is Fresh Woks which is Asian food. Okay, so it's not authentic, but a nice change in food selection. Start with rice or noodles, then you pick your protein. Maybe add a vegetable egg roll. You can even get a side of sauce like Sweet and Sour or Orange sauce. Loved the Orange Chicken. The Korean Barbecue Beef was good, but there were a couple of pieces that were kind of chewy with fat, so I had to spit it out with a napkin. Otherwise it was a good dish. We thought it was good place to eat. Ate there twice.

At the far end to the right is the M66 lounge where you can get alcoholic drinks and they have a different menu. You should check it out. I did a separate...

We stayed at the canyon lodge and was looking for a good dinner option. Unfortunately, the canyon eatery was really the only option open after 7PM. We ended up eating there and chose the Asian options. I got the orange chicken and fried rice. It was terrible. The rice was watery like it had been over cooked a few hours before and had been left sitting out. The orange chicken would have been good but there was only 5 or 6 tiny pieces of chicken and a ton of peppers. The peppers made up 90% of the portion. I definitely would not eat here again for dinner. Even the lady serving the food noticed how bad the rice looked and apologized for it, but served it anyway lol. It was overpriced and terrible quality. Unfortunately, the next morning we were faced again with limited breakfast options so we ended up eating here again. Yet again, we regretted it. It was definitely better than dinner, but the quality you get at a Hampton inn’s free breakfast would have been significantly better. There was a ton of people eating there - we waited around 10 minutes before we got to the counter to be served. Even with the high turnover, the food was cold and the eggs looked and tasted like they had been cooked hours before. It felt like they knew there were no other options closer so they just served and charged what they wanted - there was no quality at all. I will definitely not go back in the future. The Yellowstone lake dining room isn’t too far away - you’ll pay around $10 extra per person for dinner but the food quality is 100x better. The only thing the canyon eatery has going for it is it’s a walkable distance from the...
