Jackson Hole Restaurant Guide 2025
Honest recommendations beyond the resort marketing
Finding Great Food in Jackson Hole, Wyoming
Jackson Hole's restaurant scene has evolved dramatically over the past decade. What was once a handful of steakhouses and tourist traps has become one of the most interesting dining destinations in the Mountain West. The town now draws chefs from San Francisco, New York, and beyond—people who came for the skiing and stayed to open restaurants that rival anything in major cities.
That said, navigating the dining scene here requires some insider knowledge. Prices are high (this is a resort town, after all), reservations can be hard to come by during peak season, and some of the best spots don't show up on the usual tourist lists. This guide covers the neighborhood gems, the reliable standbys, and the places worth a splurge.
Whether you're looking for a quick breakfast burrito before hitting the slopes, a memorable fine dining experience with Teton views, or just a solid burger and a beer after a long hike, Jackson has options. The trick is knowing where to look.

Jackson Hole Dining by Neighborhood
Downtown Jackson
The heart of the action, centered around the Town Square with its famous elk antler arches. You'll find the highest concentration of restaurants here, from grab-and-go breakfast spots to white-tablecloth fine dining. Parking can be tough during peak season, but most places are walkable once you're in town. This is where you'll find Snake River Grill, Glorietta, and most of the coffee shops.
Teton Village
Located at the base of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, about 12 miles from downtown. Dining here tends toward the upscale—think Four Seasons and Hotel Terra restaurants. Great for not having to drive after a day on the slopes, though you'll pay resort prices. Il Villaggio Osteria and The Spur are local favorites that aren't strictly hotel dining.
Wilson
A small community west of Jackson, Wilson has a more laid-back, local feel. Nora's Fish Creek Inn is the legendary breakfast spot here—James Beard recognized, worth the wait. It's also where you'll find some of the valley's best grocery shopping at Hungry Jack's General Store.
Grand Teton National Park
Dining options inside the park are limited but include some gems. The Mural Room at Jackson Lake Lodge offers panoramic Teton views that rival any restaurant in America. Dornan's in Moose has a rooftop pizza deck that's a summer tradition. Most park restaurants close for winter, so plan accordingly.
Local Tips for Eating in Jackson Hole
Make Reservations Early
During peak season (Christmas through March for skiing, July through August for summer), popular restaurants book up weeks in advance. Snake River Grill, Glorietta, and similar spots require planning. If you're visiting during busy times, make reservations before you arrive.
Expect Mountain Prices
Jackson Hole is expensive by any measure. A casual dinner for two with drinks easily runs $100-150; fine dining hits $200-400. There are budget options—breakfast burritos, pizza by the slice, grocery store picnics—but this isn't a cheap food town. Factor dining costs into your trip budget.
Timing Matters
Restaurants fill up predictably: breakfast spots are busiest 8-10am, especially on ski days. Dinner rushes hit 6:30-8pm. For the best experience, eat early or late. Also note that many restaurants close between lunch and dinner service—check hours before showing up at 3pm expecting a meal.
Winter vs. Summer
The restaurant scene shifts with the seasons. Winter brings crowds to Teton Village and après-ski spots. Summer opens up the national park restaurants and outdoor patios downtown. Some restaurants adjust hours or close entirely during shoulder seasons (April-May, October-November). Always call ahead during transition periods.

Teton Village has several solid options: Il Villaggio Osteria for Italian, The Spur for gastropub fare and après drinks, Westbank Grill at the Four Seasons for upscale steak, and Teton Thai for reliable takeout. On the mountain itself, Piste Mountain Bistro offers the best views with surprisingly good food.
