The building is spectacular. Cathedral like in scope, but still warm and cozy. The dining room is well laid out with tables spread out so you're not on top of the other diners. The wait staff are so nice and get their job done with aplomb. The food is good. Maybe a bit basic on the salad side but the appetizer, soups, and mains are excellent. Nice wine list as well.

This is a very unique place and one I find to be great in a variety of ways. The ambience is quite rustic yet epitomizes adventure and has a mid western flair. This eatery offers vegetarian options including plant-based chicken. I enjoy their sandwiches and soups. The Yellowstone Caldera is the most memorable dish/dessert on the menu and probably my favorite thing overall. The service is great and I’ve never had a bad experience here in the many times I’ve dined here. Lately though because of the pandemic, they have changed a lot. They don’t offer as much anymore and reservations are on a first come, first serve basis. The buffet isn’t the best, as it is extremely small and doesn’t offer a lot of choices. But some of the food on it is good. My family enjoyed the meat offerings on it. The Old Faithful Inn Dining Room is a wonderful place and I’m hoping they will become the same place I’ve grown to love and appreciate again, as I have immense faith in the Old Faithful Inn Dining Room. Seems like the pandemic has not only changed humanity in general, but the restaurant business.
The sweet spot is 4:45-5pm. People start lining up at 3:30pm and have to wait til 4:30pm for the doors to open. Once the first wave is seated, around 4:45pm they start handing out pagers and it's a 30-90min wait. So you can go check out Old Faithful or the store and not have to wait in the actual line to get in. Once in- you will have to wait around 20min in the buffet line for your food. So stock up the first time and don't plan to go twice. The buffet menu was limited, but everything we had was decent. Not amazing, just decent. But still a good experience and I would do it again. Also there is whip cream for the apple crisp if you ask your server!
Well since they are short on staff it was a buffet style dinner. Prime rib was good. I loved the tomato based Gouda red pepper soup. Absolutely delicious! I wanted to hold back a star for the buffet and not table service full menu but it's not their fault no one wants to work anymore.
