  Our burgers were great!  Our friends had the homemade pizzas and raved about them.  The service was prompt, friendly and professional.  Can't say enough about the Slippery Otter.  They are a welcome addition to West Yellowstone.

  I had the fish and chips.  Most of my fries were close to burnt.  The service was quick.  Close to shopping.

  I wish I could rate this place higher, but based on this experience I definitely won't be going back.
  
  My family and I arrived around 9pm, tired from a long day in the park and just wanting some food. There were five of us and the hostess told us that a five-person table would be available in 7 or 8 minutes. It took a half hour. Once we were finally seated, it took another 5 or 6 minutes for the server to help us. He was very nice, but tried to lighten the mood with some silly jokes. No offense to him, but he really should have read the mood of the table. We were tired and just wanted food. We ordered right away, but were disappointed to see another table who had ordered after us get their food first. When we asked why that might have been, our hostess tried to ward off responsibility by telling us that she had offered us a small four-person table that was open when we arrived. I'm sorry, lady, but offering us a table that won't hold our party is no defense. And don't even try to tell me that their food "took less time to cook." The party that arrives and orders first gets their food first, period.
  
  As for the food itself, it was a mixed bag. My burger was good (but not excellent), but the fries were poor. WAY too crispy. Our server didn't ask anyone how we wanted our burgers cooked, but it sounds like medium is the norm. So we were disappointed to see my burger come out well done, while my sister's was VERY rare.
  
  Summary: Food was average, service was not good.

  I thought this place was a pleasant surprise. We all shared a pizza. Ingredients were very fresh. Reminded me of Old Chicago if one has ever eaten there.  Anyway, waiter was nice and chatty and looks like they have a great selection of beer to boot. We have been in Yellowstone a week. We would definitely go back go try some other selections. The interior was nice and clean and had that new appearance that's hard to find in the area.

  When we visited the Slippery Otter Pub recently, members of our group would have given it very different reviews.  It's important to point out that our visit happened to take place on the very first day it was open following a big remodeling job.   I think this had much to do with some of our dissatisfaction.
  
  The menus arrived covered in stars.   I was in the very nicely-appointed restroom when the waitress explained to the rest of the group that the stars indicated items that were not going to be on the new (current?) version of the menu.
  
  I ordered the fish & chips.  The waitress didn't specify whether I wanted the large or small, and I ended up with large.  I suspect the fish was frozen, but it was good nonetheless.   I was delighted to hear they had clam chowder to accompany it, only to be disappointed when the waitress came back to say it was instead corn chowder.   No, thanks.
  
  Hubby ordered the elk burger and was very pleased.  He let everyone at the table have a taste, and we all liked it a lot.
  
  His parents were both pretty disappointed with what they got.  First they ordered coffees, but there was none available.  Then Dad ordered chili, and he was disappointed in the flavor & consistency.  Mom ordered a chicken ceasar and didn't like that much, either.
  
  Just as we were finishing up, the waitress brought me a full soda.  Rather than waste it and hubby's nearly-full lemonade, I asked for take-home cups.  She went to get some, then came back and said they didn't have any.
  
  So, when the updating of the restaurant is REALLY complete (new menus, fresh coffee, paper cups, and maybe a new chili recipe), I think this will be a solid place to visit.

  Went in here based on a recommendation by a waiter from Wild West Pizzeria & Saloon in the area. While it was nice of him to ask and suggest, WWP&S is certainly the better place.
   
  I've been told this place had a change of ownership from when it was "wolf pack" and I have no idea whether it is true or not.
   
  Everything seems the same; including the menu. It was to a level that I was certainly suspicious. I wouldn't have came back if it was "wolf pack" but I figured we would give this place a try.
   
  The service was decent and so was the pizza. They still have the same mellow beer as wolf pack did. Between the better service of WWP&S, the better beer at WWP&S (their bottles are better than the drafts here) and the pizza at WWP&S I can't see myself coming here again. Though, IT WAS NOT BAD.
  
  Message to Slippery Otter: your pizza and service was decent. you guys have plenty of mellow beers on the drink menu you guys serve. Why not improve your beers a bit? Start slow, offer tasters and embrace strong beer!
  
  I would certainly come back if this place had really great beer.
  
  What did I do while in west yellowstone? I went to the corner market that sells bombers of lagunitas hop stoopid for under $5. ;)
