Wylie’s Canteen at Lake Lodge

Just opened back up from winter, so there were no crowds (5.18.25). Nice. Cafeteria style ordering but a nice dining area with a great view of the lake. All the burgers in Yellowstone are overdone (food safety), so don't expect much. Chili was good though with fries. Not sure why people are complaining about feeding a family of 6 for $75!!!

We had a double bison burger (western style) and the New England pot roast. Both were DELICIOUS 🤤 Good serving sizes, great quality food. Is it a little on the pricy side? Sure - but you're in the middle of Yellowstone, where it costs a ton to ship in ingredients and there is a premium associated with a tourist-heavy area, so that is to be expected. For the quality of food, which you eat while overlooking the lake from a nice lodge, the price is pretty reasonable. Also worth noting that even though there was a small issue with our order, the staff was very friendly and quick to resolve it. I have a dietary restriction, and Ethan in particular was super helpful with making sure I could find something that was safe to eat. He was very friendly and helped us have a great experience!

Was not real crazy about how you go to the register to order and then stand in line fir your number to be called but it was ok. The view from the dining area is spectacular. I had the Bison brat with chili and cheese and it was good. My wife had the hamburger and it was pretty dry. Would go back mainly for the atmosphere.

Early season at Lake Yellowstone and there’s no other food options other than Wylie’s. All the staff were very friendly and trying hard. Food was above expectation and fairly priced (when it didn’t need to be). Not sure what all the lower reviews are about, it’s decent canteen food at good prices.

Had our bill been under $50 to feed my family (with four kids) this would have been a five-star review. However, given that it was $75, it's only four - too pricey! That said, the burgers were good, as were the fries. The atmosphere was that of a cafeteria - slightly chaotic, put in your order and pick up you food when your number is called. Self-service drinks meant that the kids got their fill of orange soda and Sprite. As we were in Yellowstone late that day, the key was that they were open later than most other restaurants and relatively close to where we were touring. The lodge itself is magnificent and the sunset view from the front porch was amazing!

This place is great after a long day in the park. The chili is flavorful and delish and the burgers do the job. Key lime pie dessert is a MUST. John at the bar is personable and has a heavy pour. The post dinner drink on the patio and is a great way to top off the night.

Probably the worst bison burger I have ever had. Absolutely terrible. They take no pride in the good that comes out of their kitchen. Extremely overpriced. The bison burgers were so overcooked, we could play hockey with the parties. We got the 'bottom of the bag' onion rings, a bunch of burnt pieces. I'm so disappointed. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY. $80 FOR 2 DOUBLE BISON BURGERS, 1 SIDE OF ONION RINGS, 1 OREO BROWNIE, 2 SODAS AND A BEER. Take the time to drive somewhere else. They should be ashamed.

Rather disappointing. Expensive, although you would expect that in the park, but the service was very slow (nearly 30 minutes waiting) and the food was cold. We had the bison burger but it didn't feel any different from a fast food burger.
