The Bird

We arrived at the bird after a long drive (9 hours) and we were really hungry. When we arrived, it was packed but we were able to grab two seats at the bar. We ordered our food which took roughly an hour to come out. This was unfavorable, but the place was packed full and the burgers were really good and the fries were a decent portion size. Overall, decent service, good food, beautiful views, can't really complain. We'd eat here again, if it weren't so busy. (This was a Friday night)

Excellent pub grub with house-made stuff like pastrami and chips (crisps). Big beer selection, super lovely service, rustic and casual vibe, and an outside deck with sweeping views of the Snake River and western hills of the Tetons. Also recommend Jackson Hole Still Works across the highway.

Very friendly. Wonderful view from deck dining area. Dog-Friendly! Great on-draft tap beer offerings. Fast service. Good portions. Parking is a little different in that we were wondering where ok to park & where isn’t cool. Would return again 100%! Oh, website wrong at moment in that they’re open at 11:30am daily except Mondays. Glad we called to confirm b/c we almost didn’t go due to website listing they weren’t open for lunch.

Great food with a great attitude (must read the backside of the menu for the burger names and the story that illustrates their humor). The housemade potato chips were light and fresh it should be added to all orders. As an adult I must say, after stealing some of my kids chicken nuggets appetizer; it was well seasoned with an incredible remoulade sauce (11 yr old finally said he preferred something over chic fil a). My BLTT with horseradish mayo was awesome and my wife set her fresh turkey cesar salad was epic ( you could tell the turkey was fresh and hot). Not sure who's back there in the kitchen or who owns the place....But you're doing a stand up job in both respects. *Sorry folks, we forgot to take pictures of the food cause we ate it so fast.

The Bird is a Jackson institution and has been one of my go-to local places for years. It’s south of town and outside the usual downtown tourist loop, which gives it a completely different feel from many of Jackson’s restaurants. Visitors certainly find their way here, but The Bird still feels like a locals’ place. As the author of the Jackson Hole Hiking Guide, I’ve spent years exploring this area and have lived here multiple times. I appreciate places that show visitors another side of Jackson beyond the Town Square, and The Bird definitely qualifies. One of my favorite things about The Bird is how the service works. You don’t hear, “Let me find your server.” Everybody helps everybody. Different staff members check on you, bring what you need, and the food comes out when it’s ready. It’s efficient, relaxed, and makes the whole experience better. The Bird itself is tucked into a mixed area with other businesses and housing, with parking available in the back. Inside there’s a bar, another dining room, and a casual atmosphere that fits the place perfectly. Outside is a great deck that’s especially fun when the Wyoming weather cooperates. The food is great, the staff is awesome, and the entire place has a laid-back energy that keeps me coming back. As the author of The Grant Colson Thriller Series novels, I appreciate genuine local places with personality. As a romance novelist, I like restaurants where you can relax, hang out, and actually enjoy spending time with someone. The Bird works for both. If you want to get a little outside the normal downtown Jackson routine, this is absolutely worth the short drive south.
