11:30am-2:30pm & 4:30-10pm early May-early Oct
) This buzzing dining room serves
good-value steaks, salads and pasta, as well as breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets ($12/
14/26). Interesting starters include trout cakes and antelope sausage, while dinner mains
are heavier fare, with bison ravioli and the staff- recommended pork osso bucco (pork
shank in red wine). Top it off with a Yellowstone sundae - huckleberry ice cream on cake
topped with berries. The huge fireplace and wagon-wheel chandelier add to the rustic at-
mosphere. Make dinner reservations in the morning or, better, the day before (up to 60
days in advance) or you'll end up eating dinner after 9:30pm.

) A quieter affair, the dining room at the Old Faithful
Snow Lodge serves up a few unexpected dishes (such as the house-made butternut squash
bisque and the warm goat-cheese salad with maple pecans), alongside bison ribs braised
in Moose Drool Ale (the bison are farmed outside the Yellowstone ecosystem). A break-
fast buffet is available.

mains $8-12; 11am-9pm mid-May-late Sep
) It's factory-style functionality rather
than fine cuisine, but this is a good-value place, churning out solid standards like meatloaf
and prime rib alongside lighter fare like the chicken pesto wrap. Try to get here early be-
fore the buffet-style food gets too stewed. Most noteworthy are the views of Old Faithful
from the side window. The cafeteria does not serve breakfast.
