We went here for breakfast three days in a row, and on all occasions the food was really good. Portions could have been a bit bigger though. Staff were excellent. I've read that most people find that prices are reasonable, I however find breakfast for 2 that adds up to 30$ rather expensive.

I eat at the Running Bear frequently. I am always happy with the quality of the food and the fast friendly service. I usually go for breakfast but the lunches are good too. This is the only place in town where they serve breakfast all day. I recommend this restaurant highly.

Service was always excellent - staff also did go above and beyond to help me when my spectacles broke while having breakfast one morning. Food was okay - most items were very good ,but we did have...

This is a great Local place. Everything I've tried in the course of several visits has been good. They will also pack you a lunch for you trip into the park.

For five years now we have been traveling to West Yellowstone to snowmobile for a week in February. Every morning we start our day off right with breakfast at The Running Bear. The staff is so incredibly friendly and attentive. They remember us from year to year. It speaks volumes that the same employees are there year after years! The... More

We stay in West Yellowstone for a week every year in February and eat breakfast at Running Bear every morning. The food is excellent, service is great and very reasonably priced. Can't wait for next year

We ate here 2 times on our Yellowstone Adventure. Our first trip they were full and we expected a long wait and slow service since it's in a high tourist town. No so! We were pleasantly surprised to get seated quickly, drinks were brought almost as soon as we sat down. They were packed and we figured it would be... More
