Located in Gardiner, the town at the park's North Entrance, this is a classic burger joint that has been operating for decades. Its signatures are burgers made from daily freshly ground elk, bison, and organic beef from local ranches; its elk burger was once nominated for the best in Montana. Sides include hand-cut fries and onion rings, and they also serve grilled cheese sandwiches and milkshakes made with Montana ice cream, with the huckleberry milkshake being a local favorite.
