My husband and I elected to eat at the Town due to closeness of the motel but also price and reviews online. We were NOT disappointed. The food was very good and they gave very generous portions. We felt the prices were very reasonable. We ate dinner, lunch and breakfast there- made all the rounds. All meals were very good.... More

Every time we are in the area we have to stop in for breakfast. The bacon is very good. Sometimes the service can be better. Depends on how busy they are.

the portions were UNREAL! I had a bowl of oatmeal for $3.95 that was SO big I couldn't finish it!! My other half had the pancakes...not only good, but so big they overlapped the edges of the plate. They made sure you were fed!

I dunno about the atmosphere; my boyfriend and I went in there and everyone leered at us, and this one guy was really raucously instructing us on how to speak to the bartender... he looked about 5 or 6 Michelob Ultras into his visit, though... Anyway, the bartender was a sweet old man and his service was good. Anyway, the... More

We ate a lunch at Town Cafe, trying to escape the awful restaurants in Yellowstone NP. This place offers standard American diner fare, and is kitchy--from another era. We had yummy BLTs on wheat toast, and chatted with our server, Ashley. She is a gem, and had worked inside the park for several years, but Xanterra was not her cup... More

The Two Bit Saloon stopped serving breakfast at 10:30am so we wanteded over to the Town Cafe and we're glad we did so! It's exactly what the name says it is...a town cafe! Many locals were sitting around drinking their coffee and enjoying their breakfasts and everyone was so friendly to us! Our server told us a little bit about... More

Good place for breakfast before you hit the park. Very busy so get there early. Everyone was very pleasant and helpful in answering your questions about the park and surrounding areas.

We had the French toast special. Everything was cooked exactly to our request. Service was quick and our server (I think her name was Ashley) was very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend it.

Open at 7 AM although not a lot of other choices in town at that time. Good food, nice selection of choices on menu, large portions, hearty breakfast. Waitress was slammed, by herself and did a great job keeping tables in drinks and extras that they needed. She wasn't overly talkative but pleasant when engaged as she was constantly on... More
