Not too unreasonable dining in a national park
Usually, I don't eat in a restaurant while in a national park. Mostly, this is because, like at any touristy spot, the food is expensive. And at the Grand Tetons, I had no intention of eating there either, but due to an accident blocking the entrance of Yellowstone, we were all sent to the Ranch. For lunch, the prices weren't bad at all...there was a good selection and for a snowy day, it was great to get into someplace warm with a home like atmosphere. I had the reuben sandwich and Jeanette had a burger. There was beef stew on the menu that looked great--I'll try that next time.
My only complaint and it's not really a complaint at all is that they were hit with a heavy crowd from this accident on their very 1st day of being open for the season. We had a server who didn't know the restaurant at all, the seating, the menu...she did get everything right, but it look a LONG time. And she made sure everyone knew when the road was open again--nice of her, but you could tell she just wanted to get people out of there.
