Description: How many times can you claim to have walked to dinner or breakfast with an elk? This was a daily occurrence at Grant Village. The herd likes the grasses that border the parking lots and will graze there until the bull decides otherwise.
The Grant Village Restaurant has a varied menu that includes bison meatloaf, salmon, pork, pasta, and more. There is a children's menu with the usual mac and cheese, burgers, and fries. The food is served quickly and alcoholic drinks are available. Servings are large enough to fill the most hungry tummy. After all, the customers have been out hiking and sightseeing all day long. Make your reservation as early as possible. The seating is staggered to prevent a backup in the kitchen and the sight of empty tables is sure to confuse some patrons.
The servers are from all over the world. They are interesting to talk to and are interested in learning more about our country. There was only one time when the language barrier came into play. My husband had requested decaffeinated tea and our server apparently thought that it was a new, flavored tea. It took another server to explain the concept and the tea was quickly on the table, piping hot.
The breakfast menu is a simple buffet. Eggs, cereal, French toast, fresh fruit, pastries, juice, tea, and coffee are placed out and replenished frequently. No reservation is needed for breakfast, but arrive early. The tables fill quickly.
