The Jackson Hole Dining Guide
By Jess Farr 
After nearly two decades of eating my way through Jackson Hole, I’ve learned that some of the best adventures happen around the table—whether it’s a breakfast burrito before first tram, après margaritas, or a cozy date night. Food has always been one of the most authentic ways to connect with a place. Outside of Jackson, I’ve traveled to several countries where I didn’t speak the language, yet through meals, markets, and shared tables I quickly came to understand the destination, its people, and its culture. The flavors, ingredients, and traditions tell a story that goes far beyond what any guidebook can offer. In many ways, food becomes a universal language. One that instantly makes a place feel familiar, welcoming, and memorable.
And that’s exactly what makes the Jackson Hole dining scene so special. From longtime local favorites to new culinary concepts, the restaurants here offer visitors and locals alike a true taste of the valley—one plate, one story, and one unforgettable meal at a time.
With so many great options, deciding where to go can be overwhelming, so here’s my list of go-to spots for every occasion. For even more dining inspiration, I always pick up a Dishing JH magazine, visit dishingjh.com, follow @dishingjh on Instagram, where you’ll find weekly blogs, events, and the latest local favorites.
Counter Services and Cafes

Billy's Burgers
A quick burger spot that punches far above its weight. The burgers and waffle fries (the only ones in town) are reason enough to visit, but the pimento BLT, fresh salads, and soft serve are just as worthy. Grab breakfast sandwiches on the go in the morning or take your meal outside to the picnic tables and pair it with a sloshie from neighboring Midtown Liquor. It’s equal parts classic burger joint and locals’ everyday staple.

I love sitting at the bar for a spicy margarita, and their bar chicken with Caesar salad.

New York-style pizza that locals rely on for everything from quick lunches to late-night slices. Grab a slice and a beer, order a full pie, or have it delivered straight to your door.

Located at the summit of Snow King Mountain, Aurora truly takes dining to new heights. The experience begins with a scenic gondola ride up, offering sweeping views of town—and if you time it right, an unforgettable sunset. Inside, the space is stunning, highlighted by a dramatic illuminated art installation behind the bar. The menu offers something for every palate, including classic alpine fondue. My current favorite touch is the tableside cheese trolley service—an interactive and memorable way to discover new favorite cheese and wine pairings.

A Jackson Hole institution where the cocktails are as strong as the vibe. Grab a seat at the bar for French onion soup, oysters, burgers, or steaks—or settle into the dining room for a more elevated experience. Their extensive cocktail and wine program is a major draw. It’s equally perfect for celebrations or spontaneous nights out. Can’t find a bar seat at Local?
