If there’s one thing we’ve learned, helping people plan their trips, is that people LOVE eating out! Eating is a major part of many people’s vacations.
We’ve eaten at quite a few different places in Grand Teton, but we opened this question up to our Instagram followers and YouTube subscribers to get their favorites as well.
So here are the BEST places to eat when visiting Jackson Hole and Grand Teton!

Dornans is a mini-resort that is technically located just outside Grand Teton National Park, but actually right in the heart of the park, close to the park headquarters.
Dornans offers lodging and outdoor recreation rentals (bikes, kayaks, etc.).
They also have a few different food options.
The Pizza and Pasta Company is delicious! We ordered a pizza, an appetizer, and a pasta entrée, and they were all AMAZING. What we enjoyed most were the views of the Tetons from the outdoor seating on the roof. It’s adults-only up there, and they also serve a variety of beer and alcohol.
Dornans also has other places to eat, including the..
It includes boat rides, reservations, things to do, how to save miles hiking, and more!
We heard a lot about Leeks, and so we finally ate here last year. You can’t beat the views, as you’ll eat on the deck next to Jackson Lake.
The Pizza was great! It’s quite crispy, but FYI, it’s a little on the greasy side — that may be to your liking or not.
Leeks is operated by the Signal Mountain Lodge.
Here’s another one we heard about quite a bit, and it was mentioned multiple times by our followers.
The Trapper Grill serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
It is operated by the Signal Mountain Lodge, which is a full-scale resort. It’s a little older but more affordable than some others. It’s located on the shores of Jackson Lake in a really nice location (probably a result of being one of the first resorts on the lake).
It’s also famous for its heaping mound of nachos! We just stopped here for a nacho snack last year and the nachos were fun for our family to munch on.

These are two halves of the same restaurant, and they are located in Teton Village at the top of the mountain. To get there, you must ride the Gondola to the top.
The Piste Mountain Bistro is a sit-down restaurant, and you need reservations for it. Off-Piste offers grab-and-go pizza that you can eat out on the deck.
But the open portion of the deck can fill up and you might find yourself standing around a bit waiting for a table to open up. If you want a guaranteed table on the deck, get a reservation at Piste.
Getting some grab-and-go waffles at Corbet’s Cabin Top of the World Waffles was a real highlight of our last trip to Grand Teton. The waffles are light and just the right amount of crispy on the outside. They say that the altitude makes them one of a kind!
No utensils are allowed because they are trying to cut down on waste, so you must eat the waffles with your hands. Don’t worry; they make it easy by making sandwiches of the waffles and cutting them into strips. It’s fun!
The Grand Teton Skywalk is next to it and offers wonderful views of the Teton Mountain Range (without having to hike!)
This is also located at Teton Village, but you have to take the Aerial Tram to get here.
Sidewinders is a sports bar, “pub and grub” spot in Jackson with a lot of offerings besides just burgers. It’s famous for its huge pretzels in the shape of an “S”!
We’ve eaten here and it was really a hit with our family. Matt got the Cuban, and our friends got the Cowboy Macaroni and Cheese.
And surprisingly, it was affordable (unlike a lot of other things in Jackson)!

This is a great way to spend an evening if you want to add some entertainment to your meal. The Jackson Hole Playhouse may be the oldest building in the town of Jackson. It’s fun to just walk by and see, but if you have the time and money, it’s well worth it!
We enjoyed an upscale dinner here where the performers are the servers. It’s not uncommon for them to break into song or have some entertaining skits and jokes as well.
The theater is cozy, and the production is wonderful. We were impressed with the sets, costumes, and talent of the performers at such a small theater and will be returning again! If you do the play and dinner, it costs ~$125 per person. Play-only tickets are ~$62.
This is another fun option for evening entertainment. At the Bar T 5, guests are loaded into a horse-drawn covered wagon and transported to a covered outdoor theater where they are served a chuckwagon dinner and entertained with a dinner show.
The wagon ride is cozy and wonderful. My favorite part was the views of the sun setting on the Tetons. It was so pretty, peaceful, and romantic.
The dinner included all the fixins you would expect at a chuckwagon dinner, including roast beef and chicken, baked beans, green salad, roll, brownie, lemonade, coffee, hot chocolate, and water. Vegetarian options (baked potato and beans with no bacon) were available, too.
To be honest, the food was just ok. I wasn’t a fan of them serving margarine instead of butter.
The show was interactive with some cheeky jokes and an amazing fiddler. Our favorite was when he played The Devil Came Down to Georgia.
We’ve been to 8 cowboy cookouts in our travels. What was impressive to me about this one was that it offered a good wagon ride, dinner, and a show. It costs ~$70 for adults.
Bubba’s is a BBQ place that has A LOT of reviews on Google, which tells me it’s quite popular! It’s been here a long time, which also tells me that it’s in business for a reason.
But there’s more than just BBQ here! One of our readers really liked the breakfast.
Nora’s Inn has been around forever and is a local iconic place!
We haven’t been here yet, but people love the Banana Bread French Toast, Biscuits and Gravy, and Sourdough Pancakes for breakfast.
Moo’s Gourmet Ice Cream is located right by the Town Square in Jackson. We knew it was good when there was a huge line!
People like the Coco Loco, Wild Huckleberry, and Sorbet with Rum. We tried the usual chocolate and loved it.
People call this a “great little coffee shop.” There’s often a line out the door (good sign), but it moves quickly.
They also serve breakfast and pastries.
If you’re looking for a premium experience, check out the Jenny Lake Lodge.
They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Reservations are required for dinner and recommended for breakfast and lunch.
Dinner costs ~$120. Yes, ~$120.

Jackson Lake Lodge is the crown jewel of the lodges in Grand Teton National Park. It’s a really impressive place to visit, even if you’re not staying OR eating there!
This is another higher-end option, but you do have multiple choices here.
PRO TIP: Breakfast is a cheaper way to enjoy the views and experience of the Mural Room!

Triangle X is a dude ranch inside Grand Teton National Park. But you don’t need to stay at the dude ranch to enjoy some of their activities.
We tried their dinner and calm water river float. The dinner was delicious and the river float was heavenly, but if you’re considering doing this activity, read our full review of the Triangle X experience.
