Canyon Lodge M66 Lounge

This review is for the lounge -- not the Canyon Lodge food service as a whole. DRINKS: Pricey but okay. Nothing particularly special. FOOD: A limited selection of bar snacks and nibbles, also very pricey -- such as a bowl of onion dip, a large handful of bog standard potato chips, for $12. Note -- some folk seemed to grab food from the cafeteria area and bring it over to the seats here. According to the signs, the tables were just for lounge diners. Made the atmosphere more chaotic than it needed to be. SERVICE: Friendly and present when needed, but a bit harried. AMBIANCE: The lounge is done up in some nice googie architecture to go with the redesign of the overall Canyon Lodge. Despite that, it felt overcrowded and a bit ramshackle. Unfortunately, in Yellowstone (and with the weird hours of all the dining establishments at the Canyon complex), there isn't much else of a choice if you want to grab a drink. Not inclined to go back, though, during our visit.

This restaurant has dramatically changed (for worse) since my previous visit in 2018. Now the food variety is almost nonexistant, and they only offer snacks. It used to be a full service restaurant with a typical dinner menu. I still can't believe there is not any proper restaurant in the Canyon area. We spent a week in Canyon Village and not once could we eat properly. To make matters worse, they now close the mini market store in the area at 6pm. They charge a lot for staying in the hotels inside the park, but the services are laughable. Yellowstone is a magical place, and it deserves to have better services.

Nice to have a beer. Unfortunately people hog the bar and it's hard to get in for anything. I actually had two bar tenders have me wait till their conversations were done.

the food ordered at the table for a last resort after Eatery.. was alright--we liked the fondue (cheese was amazing, the pretzels, sausages, broccoli and tomatoes as expected.) However, we're still hungry after eating and sure wasted a lot of noodles from Eatery-They are in the same location, I thought they were same place.. I wrote the wrong review before.. A good thing about this diner was that our server at the table was pretty friendly. The wine arrived pretty late, though.

Junk food, junk food, junk food. This can be said for all the locations throughout the park. So sad to see all those tourists from all over the world being served the worst food just to maximize profits. No real choice in the park. Overpriced lodging and junk food. Same menu all the time. Buy healthy food before getting to the park, stay in a hotel by the West entrance and avoid buying anything in the park but gas.

Limited food, limited drinks, and very limited seating. Get here early if you want a drink.

We ate both a breakfast and a dinner here. The dinner was just OK but the breakfast was pretty bad. There's a decent selection for dinner and the service was good and friendly. For breakfast we waited for over thirty minutes for our food once it was ordered, the server wasn't very knowledgeable on the offerings and when the orders arrived they were incorrect. I'd give dinner 4 stars but breakfast would get zero.
