Best Restaurants in Downtown Jackson

Dining guide to downtown Jackson, Wyoming. Restaurants near the Town Square and within walking distance.

32 restaurants in this guide

Downtown Jackson centers on the famous Town Square with its elk antler archesโ€”the walkable heart of the valley's dining scene. Within a few blocks, you'll find everything from James Beard-recognized fine dining to grab-and-go breakfast burritos. This is where the action is, especially during ski season and summer.

The concentration of quality here is impressive. Snake River Grill and Glorietta Trattoria anchor the fine dining scene. Persephone Bakery and The Bunnery handle breakfast. Pinky G's and Hand Fire cover pizza. Bin22 does wine and tapas. You could eat every meal downtown for a week and not repeat.

The Town Square area includes most of the coffee shops, cafes, and quick-service spots. Cowboy Coffee, Pearl Street Bagels, D.O.G.โ€”they're all within walking distance. This density makes downtown ideal if you're staying nearby and prefer not to drive.

Parking can be challenging during peak times. The town runs free parking lots a few blocks from the square, and walking is often faster than circling for a spot. Many visitors park once and walk between restaurants, stopping for drinks at one place and dinner at another.

Local Tips

  • Parking is tight during peak season. Use the free lots on the edge of downtown and walk.
  • Most downtown restaurants are within a 5-minute walk of the Town Square.
  • Reservations are essential for popular dinner spots, especially Friday-Saturday.
  • The START bus runs through downtown if you're coming from Teton Village without a car.
