At Jackson Lake is Leeks Marina. You can have a beautiful view of the Teton range while eating pizza on the outdoor balcony. The pizza is surprisingly good and you can choose indoor or outside tables under umbrellas. The Marina has boat rentals if you have more time. Worth the stop for a quick bite and great view.

Driving through the Tetons in late September, we were looking for a place for lunch. Dornan’s was recommended and certainly fit the bill. We found it surprisingly busy for that time of year, but the menu was quite diverse and the service was very friendly. While we had to ask about how to place our order at the kitchen in the back, the meal, along with the view, provided the needed renewal for the rest of the day. We would certainly return.

After driving all day, we were pleased that the Hatchet Resort had a restaurant on premises. Whetstone was a beautiful place and the staff was very friendly. Only issue is that I ordered steak and it came cold and rare (I ordered medium). The waitress took back my order and it took a long time to return. My husband was almost finished with his meal. It was better, but still pretty rare. My husband's beer was great!

A dining experience not to be missed in Grand Teton National Park is the Jenny Lake Lodge. Dinner is our specialty. Serving a 5 course meal with a nightly rotating menu, this elegant yet rustic experience will impress even the most refined palate.
The American plan, which included dinner and breakfast, was more than a disappointment. Dinner was a D- before you consider the price. At $92/person, it was outrageously sub-standard. We were told we were lucky because this was the one night a year the chef had a special farm-to-table dinner. The salads were not tasty and difficult to eat. The lamb and steak entrees were totally uncooked, and didn't appear to be very good cuts of meat. We send them back. One person at the table next to us was so turned off by his uncooked meat that he had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich instead! The dessert was the worst we've had on our 3-week vacation. Despite that, nothing bad can be said about the service. The staff was excellent. They offered to try to make the entrees better. The only thing that could make that meal better would have been no charge. We also made the mistake of ordering their box lunch for our drive up to Yellowstone. The bread was so stale it crumbled. Greatly overpriced.

Our family of four, with two teens, had a great breakfast here after a sunrise float trip on the Snake river. We had the Chuck Wagon, breakfast burritos, and an omelette. The food arrived quickly and was delicious. The service was good and our server kept our coffees filled. We found the atmosphere nice (slow, quiet, and not touristy) which was a nice change of pace from the park. Prices are reasonable as well. We highly recommend Buffalo Valley Cafe!

This is a cozy eatery off the the Buffalo River. You get excellent, homecooked food at any meal and you have an almost private view of the Tetons in the distance. You won't compete with crowds to enjoy your meal. I love the Reuben and their breakfasts. My husband likes their Grizzly burger. They have some great shakes and homebaked goods as well.

We'd been struggling with finding decent food in Grand Teton National Park. The choices at Colter Bay were pretty awful. It was so crowded and disorganized at Jenny Lake Lodge that we gave up. We happened upon Signal Mountain Lodge, and what a great find! We had dinner at the Trapper Grill, and we liked it so much that we went back the next morning for breakfast! We were seated quickly both times. (If you have to wait there are a couple of lovely gift shops to browse in.) Our waiter and waitress were wonderful at both meals. I had the trout tacos for dinner. They were really, really good! The fish tasted fresh, and the slaw and beans were a perfect accompianment. Breakfast was Eggs Benedict. While it wasn't the best ever, it was a decent attempt. The prices are reasonable. If we go back to the park, we know this is the place to eat and maybe get accommodations!

I loved the food at this place when we stayed overnight at the lodge. The food presentation was very nice and came out quick too. I got some type of prime rib dip which i LOVED and my boyfriend got some sort of pulled pork over cornbead dish and he loved his as well. The whole menu looks great though. We love trying new restaurants while we are on vacation and out of the countless places we ate over our week long vacation of breakfast lunches and dinners, this is one of the only ones that really stands out to me and makes me wish it was closer so i could come back! Waitstaff service was awesome and very accommodating.

Stop by for a memorable meal with local dishes and savory flavors! At the bar, after a hard day in the parks you'll want to relax in our western saloon and reminisce about your adventures. Choose from a variety of local brews and spirits.
I don't like giving low reviews but with the limited choices in the area, be warned. We were here for dinner after living out of a cooler for several days. Thought it would be a nice dinner. I ordered fried chicken dinner. It came out and the chicken coating was the color of chocolate. I thought well maybe it is a different coating than normal...nope burned to a crisp. Meat was leather. Basically inedible. don't even remember what else was on the plate. I did try my husbands meatloaf. It was ok, but very tough. Not sure how meatloaf can be tough, but this was. Pretty sure I got dessert because I remember being hungry, but I don't remember. All I remember was inedible expensive food when all I wanted was good food after ham sandwiches and PBJ...Microwave pizza from the store was better. Did not try breakfast. It says the saloon offers grab and go sandwiches for lunch in the morning. When I asked the guy, he looked at me like I had three heads. They don't have them.

As the sun sets over Jackson Lake with the Teton Mountain Range as the spectacular backdrop, enjoy a delicious dinner with your family at The Peaks Restaurant, serving western bistro fare from an environmentally sustainable menu. Reservations not accepted. Open for dinner only.
This is one of my favorite places to eat in the Jackson area. Their menu has a great selection. They also have a good choice of beers and other drinks.
I especially enjoyed the pulled pork sandwich.
Nice service and great outdoor seating with an amazing view!
