I have been coming here for the past 20 or 25 years now when I go to Yellowstone and it is my stop for a bison burger. In years past the bison, burger was great, juicy and thick and warm toasty bun, but unfortunately, on my last visit 2 weeks ago, the bison meat has shrunk, and it was overcooked not juicy at all very dry. I was extremely disappointed. I also had the nachos which were very good and cup of chili beans, which were very good as well. Customer service was great a young friendly gal helped us very cheerful and polite I will give this place another shot next time. I'm around to see if it was a one time thing on the bison burger.

Cute find in a small town near the north entrance of Yellowstone. Very few food options so this cozy spot was packed. The hosts were very friendly and hardworking. Food was a simple and yummy find across from our motel. My burger was charred just right, the bun wad very dry; the side salad was deliciously crisp. My hubby enjoyed a juicy steak with mashed taters and veggies. This is a must stop when passing through this quaint town. Tip-be aware, no cell service anywhere in this town and WiFi is hard to find. This was a shock to us, never heard of such a thing!!!

We wandered in here after a long day at Yellowstone. We were tired and hungry and Beartooth did not disappoint. This little cafe is so cozy and cute and they were able to accommodate 12 of us. We were served quickly. Our table ordered lasagna, trout, bison steak and chili. Everyone loved their meal and we left full and happy. The staff were wonderful also. If you find yourself in Cooke City do not miss this spot!

The hummus and veg lasagna are a perfect blend of flavors and textures, highlighting fresh ingredients and skillful preparation. The salmon plate is beautifully cooked, with tender fish. The teriyaki chicken bowl is a savory delight, balancing sweet and savory flavors perfectly. The food was fresh, came with salad and Sautee vegetables. Also this was the only place open till 9pm on the 4th of july, serving food. Staff were very welcoming and service was great. dining here was a truly enjoyable experience, Ambiance is very cozy and welcoming

Stopped here on our way to Big Sky in June during a little spring/summer snowstorm! Sidney took care of us and was wonderful. I ordered a BLT without mayo and it came with mayo and she promptly took care of it. Hubby had a club sandwich. Both items were tasty. Staff here was super friendly. My biggest complaint is that it was freezing inside the restaurant. All the people dining were wearing their winter jackets because it was so cold. Cute town - would love to come back when the weather is nice.

Gotta love off the route dining joints you least expected to dine at when traveling. Yet this place happened to find us. A very eclectic joint and savory foods we enjoyed. So let me back track things, we we're scooping out our day journey through Yellowstone's Lamar Valley and I noticed Cooke, MT was a short distance from the end of the valley. After some research I saw it would be an excellent place for a respite & lunch. After some YELP scouting I located this quirky place and said hey we're gonna dine here. Our food was tasty & delicious, however it's very eclectic local decor a site you must see. Lots of bikers and fellow park travelers all gathering for a meal and all looking very satisfied like I was. Now one note and very other odd thing I saw with Franks own eyes was that is some of there local customers were armed. Armed with guns if you can believe that but I tried not to freak out. This kind lady looking very much like she transported in time from the 80's took our order and served us. She was very charming and very hospitable. We ordered a hotdog with grilled onions and a French Dip sandwich. Excellent work by the chef on his culinary skills they were amazing items. Now no French fries in the place so don't ask, just potato chips. A Huckleberry soda was a great finishing touch to help wash it all down. Should Frank B ever find himself in the area I'd be back, but until then I say EAT AT THIS JOINT, you'll love it like we did. Frank B out from COOKE, MT!!!!
