Canyon Fountain and Grill

Stopped into Canyon Fountain & Grill twice while visiting and staying at Canyon Village — great little diner-style spot right inside the park and general store. I actually loved sitting at the classic counter; it really adds to the experience. First night I had the chicken burger — a bit different with no sauce on the bun and salad on the side, but the fries were super fresh and the server was amazing, even gave me some great tips for exploring the area. Second visit I had chicken and chips — still good, but not quite as tasty as the first meal. Overall, a fun, casual option if you’re visiting and want that classic diner vibe with friendly staff.

Stopped in at Canyon Fountain & Grill while visiting Yellowstone and really enjoyed it. The food was great—simple, classic diner-style and exactly what we were looking for after a busy day exploring. The service was good too—staff were friendly and everything came out pretty quickly. The location is super convenient, and the retro diner vibe inside added a fun touch. It’s a cool little spot with a nostalgic feel, right in the heart of the park. Would definitely recommend if you’re in the area and craving a casual bite with character

This is one of the only decently rated places to eat in the Canyon Village area, so we wound up eating here a LOT. To go plates come with chips but the sandwich is still hot. Price is high, but that’s what you get with food in the parks. The pulled pork is excellent, the burger is good, and the chicken sandwich is dry but still pretty flavorful.

Order, eat and go place. So you can explore the park and views again. Seating are side by side with other diners. Service staff was friendly but overworked, show some patience and appreciation. Could be crowded at times, plan your visit early or come later to avoid the crowd.

Food was good, better than the food in the old faithful area. It was crowded and the seating area had small spaces but then our server was great. We had a black bean burger and a bison burger. The food was good and the price was reasonable.

Delicious! Food was amazing. Had to wait about 10 mins for a party of 5 at 12pm. Highly recommend the bison burger and the grilled cheese. Probably one of my top 3 grilled cheeses in the world!! We also enjoyed the pulled pork. Service was incredibly fast! Small dining area, but cute little 50s diner feel. Would DEFINITELY come back

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience at the Canyon Fountain and Grill was really disappointing. I ordered a take-away burger that ended up being one of the worst I’ve had in a long time — flavorless, dry, and just not worth the $16 price tag. On top of that, it came with a small serving of chips instead of fries. I asked if I could get fries with my take-out order (since they clearly serve them in the same kitchen to the sit-down guests), and was told no — even though there was clearly room on the tray and I was happily willing to pay for them. For a quick-service spot in such a popular location as Yellowstone, you’d expect at least decent food and basic flexibility. Sadly, this felt more like a cash grab than a quality dining option. Mark my words, if you want a yummy meal, try somewhere else. This is all 50s diner style with no 50s diner service.

5-stars for the fact that this place exists to serve food in the center of Yellowstone National Park, and has friendly service. The food is basic. But, let’s be honest, you don’t come here for a gourmet meal. You come because you want to stay in the Park enjoying the views and the experience. We enjoyed our burger and chicken sandwich. But they won’t be the best you’ve ever had, and I would never expect them too. Keep an eye on the hours as they can change depending on the season.
