Maybe the world’s best Mac & Cheese!! Amazing!! The pizza was fabulous and they have fantastic gluten free bases! If you visit West Yellowstone, you have to come to Wild West Pizzeria & Saloon!
General: the food was delicious; staff was very kind and friendly; service was fast; price was average for BBQ food.
For others with food allergies (writing this review as a very sensitive celiac): when we got to the counter, I asked them to change their gloves to prevent gluten cross-contact. They automatically let the rest of the staff at the counter know, and everyone changed gloves. The person handling meat got a fresh cutting board and knife and pulled a new cut of brisket that hadn't been handled at all. They helped let us know which sides were celiac safe or not and offered their specific gluten free BBQ sauce.
It's a small place, so seating inside is limited, and they did have a sign stating they close when they run out of meat, so I'd probably suggest going earlier in the day?
We'll definitely return on our next trip to Yellowstone.
Some of the best food I’ve had in a while. The GF chicken fingers were really crispy and the portions were large, so you definitely won’t leave hungry. It can be really hard traveling with celiac but I will definitely be coming back. Food and service were both amazing! Great owners who obviously care about their food and customers.
Came here for the fish & chips which were supposedly gf based on previous reviews & called before coming in. Turns out they can be made gf, but are in a shared fryer, meaning they’re not Celiac safe, as is the case with the fries and likely the wings. Then I was going to get the pulled pork sandwich with a gluten free bun, but our waiter came over and said the pork was not completely gluten free. Ended up getting the angus beef burger with the side pub salad, which was pretty good. Also got the spinach & artichoke dip, which came with chips instead of bread as a gf option. That was also very good. Family members had the fish & chips, 8” cheese pizza, & elk/beef burgers, all of which they said was really good. Fries were apparently very soggy but were cooked in soybean oil. Was underwhelmed because I wanted to get the fish & chips (obviously a rare gf find so I’ve never had it), but overall it was pretty good & waiter/staff were knowledgeable about gluten/nuts.
Excellent meats (bison and meatlof) and vegetables (patatoes, carotts).
Some dishes are safe for celiac disease and other allergies (nuts, peanuts and sesame).
We ate here in June 2023.
Super good mom-and-pop diner. Family friendly. Good portions. And even had gluten free toast (not listed on the printed menu, so I was pleasantly surprised!). Will definitely be back on our road trips through. Val was our server and did an amazing job even though she was plenty busy with lots of tables to manage .
This is the real gastronomic gem of West Yellowstone!
We pay the price to eat TOP quality meat, or have a drink while watching a match.
The waitresses are super nice and you can see that they work with pleasure, not fake smiles only commercial like elsewhere. Besides, we see that there is a good atmosphere between them.
My partner had a medium-rare bison filet, it was one of the best meats he has eaten. His cheesecake was also very good.
For my part, I took an Elk burger with a gluten-free bun, and salad rather than fries (same fried foods as other things containing gluten). The hamburger steak was juicy and full of flavor, it was twice as big as the steaks served in other restaurants in the area.
I also had the gluten-free 'chocolate' cheesecake, perfect for any chocolate lover.
The only point that could be disturbing is that the place is a little noisy, but we have already been warned when we read the other comments.
We enjoyed this cafe so much so that we visited more than once. Food was quick, hot, and delish. Service was friendly and attentive. Loved the woodsy atmosphere. They were accommodating with gluten free options as well.
Our go-to packed lunch option before heading into the park every morning. Very glad our hotel recommended Ernie's! This is the best option to be able to freely tour the park.
Sandwiches were very generous and reasonably priced. Plenty of options, including gluten-free bread. The owners and staff were super friendly and will absolutely come back when we're back in Yellowstone.
This restaurant is excellent. Wr had 2 gluten free/celiac people in our group and this restaurant kept them safe and served great food. We enjoyed it so much we ate lunch and dinner there. Our servers, Crazy Grandma and Katie, were so fun, kind, and personable and made eating there a really enjoyable experience. Definitely go eat at Bullwinkles in West Yellowstone!
When the owners are here..food is amazing. When kids are running it...not so great. Been in 4 times. 2 when owners present....last 2 horrible. Got refund and left. 😢 Sad only place in this area with gluten-free, dairy free bread.
I recently had a late lunch on a cold drizzling fall day with 10 family members. We had a great variety off the menu, pulled pork, the stew special, homemade sausages, brisket and more. We really enjoyed everything we ordered. The homemade bbq sause was especially good. It was nice to have a place with obvious gluten free options. And the service was fantastic. Thank you for the lovely hospitality and delicious meal.
I came here to get wifi to work only to discover they have a one hour limit and the wifi is very slow, so that was a bummer. They do have some limited gluten free options, though, which is nice. I got a breakfrest burrito without the tortilla and it was pretty good. Cappuccino was meh.
I went here because it said they had gluten free options and a good salad bar. The salad bar was not great and there was very little gluten free options.
Fresh, quick, filling, and delicious!! Perfect for the end of a long hiking day. The chef/owner was super kind. And the falafel is vegan AND gluten free :))
Needed something hot before entering YNP. Stopped here and ordered the cinnamon roll, which the counter person warmed for us. We also shared the sausage and egg croissant upon her suggestion- hit the spot! Filling without being heavy, perfect for a day of hiking in YNP. Many desert options as well as gluten free items.
Incredible food, just what I needed. The produce was fresh. I came with a group of three and all our food arrived at the table very quickly! The manager knew what was gluten free on the menu and the server was very quick to let us order a dish more mild or with a protein added on.
I truly don't understand all the 1 star reviews for this place. The prices are comparable to every other restaurant in west yellowstone. Plus you get big portion sizes. I had enough left over breakfast the next morning. Well worth it.
Excellent food, staff was friendly, fun atmosphere and decorations. Clean restaurant and bathrooms. Sandwiches and burgers were perfect. Even had gluten free bun!
