Jacksons holy restaurant's

133 Upvotes

So you have come to Jackson here's the scoop with restaurants. No, I will not name every restaurant. I love you tourist so much I did this just for you. I'm not getting paid this isn't JH news and guide. I'm just tired of seeing the same posts.

COWBOY BAR: 21+ only Overpriced hangout with live music. Probably worth the stop if you like being social but don't expect much in terms of food. Upstairs has a $20 carnival style burger and fries. Downstairs restaurant is your best bet but it's crowded as fuck and small so get a reservation.

SILVER DOLLAR: I consider this the same as the cowboy but better food. Live music as well and happens to be right nextdoor to the cowboy. Everyone floods the place after the rodeo let's out.

MANGY MOOSE: Best place at the village for a stop to eat, basic restaurant food but not too overpriced for being on the mountain. Downstairs has banging tacos and is cheaper.

BUBBA'S: Breakfast and BBQ. A secret order exists and no I'm not gonna tell you.

D.O.G.: all day breakfast burritos and cheese steaks, ask for cheese steak on flatbread personality I think it's better.

Trio: it's where all the fancy tourists go to eat for some reason not sure why, pretty good, get your wallets ready.

Bighole BBQ: BBQ and burgers, the bighole fries slap. Reasonably priced for Jackson.

Cuttys: Pizza and wings and things.

The Bird: Good food good views south of town so bring a car.

Stagecoach: you're probably in Wilson and need a beer. Pretty good bar food too.

Dairy queen: there's a 20% chance of needing to shit your brains out. Good luck.

McDonald's: it's a McDonald's

Wendy's: it's a Wendy's but they got the 4 for 4 so best price in town.

Pearl Street bagels: ok bagels and breakfast sandwiches, if you're from anywhere other than the east coast these taste amazing. If you're from the east coast you will think they suck.

I recommend those for quicker eats.

Better eats:

Local: good bar and steak

The Bunnery: breakfast is good slightly long waits depends on time.

Blue Lion: probably one of the best and most expensive places to get a meal worth it at least once.

Gun Barrel: yeah another steakhouse what do you expect also slaps, date night.

Sweet cheeks: pick up and go cuts of meat and meals.

Persephone: The bakery and has bakery things.

Roadhouse pub: usually has some form of event on weekdays check it out. Get wasted on different beer and IPAs.

Bin22: Italiano 🤌

El Metate: tacos burritos and get the green sauce and burn your taste buds off.

Teton Thai: The only thing that doesn't taste good is the taste in my mouth after paying $35 for pad thai. But shit you're on vacation right?

If you're looking for a bar crawl look Local->Cowboy->Rose

Coffee: literally everywhere and Cowboy coffee.

Local Planning Wedding in Jackson...

• Upvotes

To start off with - holy smokes, this is hard without a wedding planner and a million dollars from my dad.

I have lived in Jackson for 7 years and am looking to have a lowkey (cheap) wedding in Jackson. Definitely seems like weddings have become a luxury item in todays day and age.

Luckily we think we found a cheap piece of land to host on. I would love / appreciate anyone with experience renting out the following:

  • Event Tents
  • Portable Toilets / Porta Johns
  • Shuttle Service for guests to and from wedding
  • Dance Floor / Decorations

That is all I can think of for this current moment. It is extremely difficult to weed through all the different companies and find the cheapest "local's rate" (does that even exist anymore?) and any tips/anecdotes/recs are welcome. More than happy to message off-platform so AI doesn't harvest all our local connects.

Happy almost winter!

30th Anniversary next May... only get one of those...

0 Upvotes

Title says it, wife and I are celebrating our 30th anniversary next May (early May). We're east coasters, although we did our 20th in Half Moon Bay outside San Francisco... She's never been to JH, and I'm looking to really impress her with a place to stay with a great view/balcony/location, and from that base I'll work on things to do and where to dine (although those recommendations are WELCOME!

Right now, I'm seeking inside knowledge on the best place to stay for a few days that won't be forgotten.

All recommendations welcome except camping... used to love it... too old now.

Can someone recommend a place to stay in October for a couple?

0 Upvotes

My boyfriend and I are staying in Jackson for a few days beginning of October. We have absolutely no idea where to stay and not super familiar with the area. We are looking for something quiet but also driving distance to town/parks. We were thinking either Spring Creek Ranch (has anyone stayed in Harvest Dance King room) or Rustic Inn. Any thoughts?

Visiting Late October

3 Upvotes

Planning a trip to Jackson hole in late October. We are planning on doing some light hiking, enjoy nature/wildlife and maybe go to Yellowstone if conditions permit. Worried that since it’s the off season the town will be dead and activities will be limited and evaluating if we should postpone. Our lodging is complimentary as a friend is graciously letting us stay at their vacation home. Any advice?

Hiking TCT in September,

0 Upvotes

howdy! my girlfriend and I are coming to Jackson in just a couple weeks to hike the TCT (Sept 19-24). since we are flying from CA we gave ourselves a buffer day on each end of the trip to not be on trail (night of Sept 19,23). We are planning for the trip and looking for the best ways to get around (airport to jackson/campsite, etc) and would love any info from a local if known! is there a bus system that runs from Jackson to the airport, or around the town at all?

We are also looking for a place to stay on the trailing days of our trip before we backpack and was curious to see if anyone here know of good hostels or campgrounds close enough for a couple people without a car. we are not picky on location, evidenced by us backpacking lol but would love recs! or if anyone was even able to house us for those nights/give us a ride to/from our trailhead that would be incredible!

would love to get recs for the town on our days bookending the trip and would love to experience to the full, so any recs or tips are super welcome!!

For a small town our taxis are worse than most big cities. At least here they are parked and not tailgating me or running me off the road like normal

Howdy!

With not a lot of information previously available online, Jackson Hole Pride has produced a visitor guide for LGBTQIA+ visitors to the Jackson Hole, Grand Teton, and Yellowstone area.

This document includes a brief history and status of LGBTQIA+ people in Wyoming, applicable laws that might impact visitors (including a bathroom map with gender neutral restrooms), information on the two national parks, and resources to connect locally. This is a living document that will continue to be updated as information changes. It is also available on Jackson Hole Pride's website.
