Lake Lodge Cafeteria

Yellowstone National Park


Changes are planned in 2019 for this rustic cafeteria at Lake Lodge. Lunch will focus on hand-ground burgers, while dinners will still center on carvery buffet fare such as prime rib, stuffed turkey and trout, plus lighter wraps and salads. Enjoying a drink from the lobby bar while watching the lake from a porch rocker is a pre-dinner highlight.
