The Best Restaurants in and Around Yellowstone National Park | Eater

"Located near the park’s northern entrance, the historic Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel in the Mammoth Hot Springs area is as iconic as the epic wildlife roving the streets. The elk are so common on the hotel lawn they essentially double as dinner entertainment from the restaurant windows. From within the ornate Art Moderne-style all-day dining room, you can savor regional specialties like bison sirloin steaks, smoked trout, and elk sliders with porter-caramelized onions and tarragon aioli — if the notion of eating elk while watching live elk outside your window isn’t too taboo. Emphasizing local sourcing and sustainable practices, the Mammoth Hotel Dining Room is also the first Wyoming restaurant (and first in the National Park System) certified with four stars from the Green Restaurant Association." - Matt Kirouac
