GTLC – John Colter Ranch House Restaurant at Colter Bay

We have eaten here a few times now. We have done lunch, dinner and bar menu service in between full service hours. The bar tenders were the most friendly. The location is convenient and easy when staying in the cabins or tent village. The food is decent, but overpriced for what it is. That was expected though and a trade for being in the park. The cheese curds were really good. The pesto pasta was delicious. The grilled chicken sandwich on the lunch menu was very good.

Sit down place with good service and decent food. Wife ordered rainbow trout which was possibly the best option. Had good flavors and fish tasted great. The rice that came with fish was amazing. Chicken nuggets and fries where meh but good enough for kid to feel happy about. Chicken with pesto penne was little disappointing. Chicken was good but rest lacked flavors. Place was very busy but we didn’t need reservations. Staff was very helpful and courteous.

Forget the places in Jackson, this restaurant is better! Our hostess, server, employees and the general manager created a perfect evening. They worked together as a team to provide exceptionally attentive service. We ordered the Fried Brussel Sprout app, Hermitage Trail Salad, Jackfruit Tacos & Huckleberry Cheesecake. By far, the best meal we have had in years. The wonderful flavors of the food were incredibly delicious. The chef did not skimp on the ingredients. The presentation was impressive. We almost didn't visit John Colter's Ranch House at Colter Bay because of the mixed reviews. We would have missed out on an incredible dinner & service!

We had a great lunch at John Colter Ranch House! The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was charming. We started with the Moran View Chopped Salad, which was huge and packed with fresh vegetables. For our main courses, we had the Moran Bison Burger, which was cooked perfectly and juicy, and the Western Side Chili, which was hearty and flavorful. We finished our meal with the peach pie with ice cream, which was the perfect way to end our meal. The service was excellent, our waiter was very friendly and attentive. We really enjoyed our lunch here and would definitely recommend it to others!

Had a hamburger and ordered it medium rare and it came out well done. Was not a problem though and was very tasty. Chili was very good. My wife had the grilled chicken sandwhich and said it was good but was not fond of the bread type of the bun. Would recommend. Waitress was great and seemed to thoroughly enjoy her job and had a smile on her face.
