Tourist trap. $20 for burger with low quality frozen French fries. Watery catsup. At least offer Heinz or quality catsup. Humus plate had a small scoop of humus for $16. Your better off going hungry.

Enjoyed having this place on sight while staying in Jackson. Was a good place to either get a bite and beer midday skiing, a beer after skiing, or dinner (we experienced it for all three). The place is packed during the day, and is admittedly tough to get service if you come during lunch hour on a busy ski day, but found it cleared out nicely in the evening and really we had a wonderful, laid back dinner there. Love the bar bites to graze on after you work up an appetite skiing, and the beer flights are a nice way to get accustomed to the local offerings. Also can't beat a beer being served in a boot shaped glass. Service wasn't great, but wasn't bad either - what you would expect from a bar style restaurant. All in all enjoyed the place, good food, good atmosphere, would definitely suggest adding to your dining options while staying inTeton Village.

Happiness is only real, when shared. - Christopher McCandless Everyone at the table said at one time or another this was one of their favorite meals of all time. Not necessarily because of the food quality I think, although very fair, more for the quality of the company and the experience of a meal outside in a beautiful setting. All of the food on the table ordered by our nine person party was tasty. The only exceptions were the fried pickle appetizer fell flat. Sweet potato tots were a highlight but could have used a little spice. As for the meals, the trout was superb and the elk steak very tender. Ones of the girls said the cheese quesadilla was one of the best she had tasted. Note: do not order the LARGE Elk Nachos unless you want to share with a party of twelve. See the picture. Seriously, those nachos were a constant laugh at the table because just one person ordered them. The setting for the restaurant can't be beat. If you can get a table outside, even if it's cold, but near the fire, it would be superb. The staff was very helpful and attentive. They even changed a few of the drinks and meals around to suit our tastes better. A great night and a great meal.

We ate this great restaurant located inside The Four Seasons twice during our stay in Teton Village. The first time we weren't hungry enough for full meals so we had some appetizers and drinks. We sat on the outside patio which has heaters to make it comfortable on a cool summer night. The view was beautiful and a perfect setting for a relaxing vacation night. They specialize in whiskeys and that happens to be my liquor of choice so I wasn't disappointed. I enjoyed the pretzel with cheese sauce. My husband had the elk chili and loved it. We finished up with a peach pie a la mode. That was so good and had nice flavor. Our second visit was a colder night so we ate inside. We started with the hummus which was the best hummus appetizer I've ever had. They had a delicious tapenade sprinkled in with the veggies that was amazing. Can they just serve that tapenade as an appetizer? I had a steak which was well prepared and my husband had a burger that he found to be quite tasty. We split the corn side which was packed with flavor and a good choice.

Fabulous Outdoor Patio lined with Fire and Perfect Spot for New Year's Eve Show The Handle Bar Restaurant was a really neat restaurant. It had a huge outdoor patio overlooking the slopes and the rail of the patio was lined with a stream of fire. The best plus for our purposes was the outdoor patio had a perfect view to see the New Year's show. The seating was first come first serve. The table was in the far corner angled perfectly toward the mountain. We had the best table in the place to see the show. Right at 5:30 p.m., the ski school children came skiing down the mountain with glow sticks. As soon as it became pitch black, right around 6 p.m., all the ski instructors and ski patrol had already rode up the Teewinot lift and then up the Aprè Vous lift and then they all came skiing down the mountain with flares in an orderly formation. It was incredible and looked like lava flowing down the mountain. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're around for the New Year's Eve Show. Either way, the entire time we were in Jackson Hole, I wanted to eat here just to sit at the fun outdoor patio lined with fire. It was a lot of fun and the service was great.

Staying at the hotel and ate lunch today. The service was friendly and prompt. The food....was ok. I had the kale salad with salmon. The kale salad just didn't have a great flavor and it needed seasoning. The salmon did not seem to be particularly fresh. $20 for an "ok" lunch salad just wasn't worth it.
(3)Addie R.
We stumbled upon this place for a late lunch after riding ATVs & a hike. It was a warm sunny day and the porch was a great spot. We both got the elk burger which was one of the best things we had on our trip. Fries extra crispy too. We also enjoyed the daily cocktail of a fresh watermelon mojito. Besides the great view, great food & really great cheerful service? I happened to mention it was my boyfriend's bday & they brought us a delish slice of cake! We love this place and can't wait to come back!

Definitely go for the patio, but be prepared to shell out for the food. During ski season, the Handle Bar patio is prime real estate. It can be very hard to find a seat, but it's great if you can find a spot to take advantage of the drink specials. Our most recent visit was for dinner during the summer. Even though it was a cool evening, they had the heaters and fire places going which made for super cozy meal. The service was pretty good in the beginning, our waitress was knowledgeable on the menu items. The food was yummy, the elk nachos were delicious, and I liked the fried chicken I tried. My fiance and I split the fish and chips, which I'm glad we did since the portion sizes were on the larger side. I was not a fan of the tempura zucchini. Our waitress kind of disappeared towards the end, and for the price the food was good, but not amazing. Next time we will just stick to happy hour.

We loved The Handle Bar so much that my husband asked if he could have his birthday here next year! They make the most insane giant pretzels with an American cheese dipping sauce that are in the shape of a mustache! Do yourself a favor and order at least one of these for the table! You will not regret it! Most people in our group ordered the burgers. They were everything you would dream that a mountain burger would be. Elk meat, sauces and a side of fries. I was trying to be healthy and ordered the kale salad with hazelnut brittle and pomegranate. It was light and refreshing. A side of truffle mac and cheese was done with big elbow noodles and was very creamy. A hot chocolate was nothing special. The highlight for me? That pretzel! I'd be tempted to just order that for lunch. Most people are in ski gear as this is located right off the mountain. Service was friendly, but the food did take some time.

We ate here our first night at JH, & were very put off by the entree prices, small menu, and small portions. However, we were pleasantly happy with our entree choices, which were excellent. Just wish the prices weren't so steep. The service also could have been better, especially since the restaurant wasn't very full at all. The next day we stopped in for lunch and had their elk nachos which were to die for! They were priced well with enough food for two. Overall, if some of the lunch menu items were listed for dinner, I'd be able to give this review more stars as well as lower prices!!
(3)Amy C.
We had checked into our hotel nearby and were looking for dessert. We found this place. We were greeted by friendly staff. We were seated next to their lovely, big, Stone fireplace (complete with fire). We got a drink. The hubby got one, the soffclaw. It was strong. He did not care for it. I chose the grizzly bite and it was great! I got the peach pie for dessert, oh my! A small peach pie topped with ginger ice cream and candied pecan and it was the perfect bite. Who would've thought that ginger ice cream was so good?! The hubby got the flour less chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream and liked it a lot noting it was "exactly what I was looking for". I don't know about their real food but it was great for dessert. I can also see how in ski season this place would be prime!

I was staying at the Four Seasons for 4 days in January 2105. The resort is beautiful and the rooms are comfy. We ate at the handlebar restaurant 3 times during our stay. Just like my review of the Westbank Grill(Four Seasons other Restaurant) this place was not great. For starters the food is very over priced but that's what you get at a four seasons. But the problem is that the food is not great at all. We had every appetizer on the menu except the chicken wings(they were out). The only good ones were the pretzel and nachos. For the entrees I can't recommend any of them. I will recommend the elk chili! It was the best thing we had here. The perfect amount of heat and flavor. I was generous with a 3 star because of the fantastic service we received.
(3)Jennifer A.
The service was bad here. Just plan bad. It's sucks because I got stuck here two different days, it has the best view of my kids in classes. Any who... They took forever to take our order at the outside bar. The lady gave my hubs his beer then took another 10 minutes to put my drink together, when she brought it to me with no veggies like the menu said it had I was a bit sad. The lady next to me had ordered the same thing a Bloody Mary buts looked all fancy with veggies and thick not watered down like mine was. We ordered the nacho and it was good. However they put our food down, no napkin and then asked us to get up so they could close the window to the outside. Now I understand that it was freezing 10 out. But when they asked us to get up it took 15 minutes for them to get it closed then my chips were all mushy. That's really disappointing to me.
(1)Matthew E.
Horrendously bad service. We were seated at a table 30 minutes ago and still have not had a single person come and take our order. For ridiculously pricy drinks, the servers are surprisingly stuck up. Wouldn't recommend. Go to the Mangy Moose or go up the Gondola for somewhere more fun, polite, and attentive.
(1)Matthew K.
Do not go here if you are a mountain biker. It may be at the base of the lift, but they don't want you to be seen in their business. We were told that every single table inside and out was reserved aside from one table in the very back. Had food and drinks and "reserved" tables never filled over almost 2 hours. Once we were seated, food and service were good.
(2)C B.
HEALTH ALERT!!! Three of us ate here for lunch (baked ziti & artichoke dip) & almost immediately everyone within our group got food poisoning. We called 5 hours ago in an attempt to alert the restaurant that something is seriously wrong with one of the food items being served today. The receptionist didn't care. She didn't ask what we ate (normal response if a restaurant really wanted to protect other patrons from getting sick) and a manager was too busy to come to the phone. We were told he would call us soon, but it's now too late as dinner service has been completed & odds are high that others will soon be sick too. Please be careful. Once again, we ate the artichoke dip & baked ziti.

Beware, travelers. You may be robbed blind here. I understand this bar is located at the Four Seasons, but nine dollars for a side of fries is over the top. Their lunch burgers were 18-19 dollars. I love a good burger as much as the next person, but it better be fan-freaking-tastic for me to order one at this price. I ordered a side of truffle Mac and cheese and my boyfriend ordered the lunch special-a soup, salad, sandwich, and a cookie-which we split. The Caesar salad came out nice and crisp, and had a bit of heat from the pepper. I enjoyed it. I'm not a fan of mushroom soup, but this soup was more creamy than mushroomy. The Mac and cheese was very cheesy-If you enjoy cheesy, this is the dish for you. The turkey sandwich, while large, was loaded down with some sort of mayonnaise sauce and the bread was soggy, and I found it unappetizing. The cookie was okay. It was a cookie. Nothing special about it. Service was a bit on the slow side. The one bright spot in this meal was the happy hour special- $3 hoegarden drafts. Overall, this meal fell flat for me. I didn't feel it was a good value. I have no problem paying a decent price for a decent meal, but I was not impressed. While I might check out their drinks on another occasion, I won't be returning for the lunch menu anytime soon.
(2)Chad B.
The service was extremely slow despite it being just us and another couple. The steak and salmon had almost no taste. The best part of the meal was the hush puppies and fries.
(2)Alex A.
Worst service! I don't know if it's poor staffing or poor training. Took forever to find someone to take our order, fill waters, etc. Can't believe this restaurant is operated by the Four Seasons.
(1)Grant B.
Very nice. Ate here twice while staying at the Four Seasons. Tried the Buffalo Burger & a Packo's IPA (bartender suggestion). Recommend checking it out & will certainly go back.
(4)Christi M.
Great all day happy hour specials. Try the moustache shaped pretzel and the nachos, both are to die for.
(4)Michael P.
Food is good. Outside service is severely lacking, not enough waiters. View awesome.
(2)John M.
I had a skirt steak and it was cash money. My friend had the ribs and they were super tender and tasty...he licked them clean. Service was pretty good as well. I suggest the "cowboy up" option on the drink menu.
(5)Kyle M.
First of all, the menu online is not accurate. They took off the lobster corn dogs. We drove all the way out here from Jackson just to eat here and ended up not eating at all after looking at the menu. The current menu is not bar food. If you plan on eating here expect over priced food typical of four seasons restaurants. Go to the Spur instead if you want good bar food! Oh and I ordered a diet coke which came in a can and ran $4. There are much better options in the village than this.
(1)Sam C.
Prime spot for a drink / lunch after skiing. Right at the base of the lifts. I only came here for drinks and light apps. I tried the fries / hot wings / french onion soup, every thing was very solid. On the expensive side... but you pay for location. The decor could use a little more character for restaurant in the Four Seasons hotel. Either make it fancier... or more rustic.
(3)Drew D.
The happy hour was decent, $5 jack/ coke. Service was horrible!!!! If I am going pay $12 for four pretzel nuggets and also order a few drinks I have a small expectation If I ask for sauce (spicy mustard), please bring it. I asked two waitresses, even one with an a broken arm. Both took my request and never returned. I had to flag down the bartender (I sat at the bar) and requested it. Within 5 minute she brought it, which was great. 2. Spicy mustard is not Dijon mustard. I know this is a 4 season hotel, but come on please know the difference in spicy mustard and Dijon mustard, it's not that hard. But the $12 four pretzel nuggets were good, not Auntie Anne's good, but crappy over priced place good.
(1)Around The World I.
Kids menu is weak - would have expected more from the Four Seasons. No healthy options, just the usual burgers, chicken fingers, quesadillas and mac&cheese. Plus it's pricy - $10 per kid for junk. Instead we opted for an item off the grown-ups menu. The New York Strip steak (served with the sauce on the side) served with a crispy potato and roasted root veggies, and a side of broccolini for the table. Plus the kitchen cooked the steak perfectly and split the plates for us. Happy kids!
(3)Wil E.
Went for a drink and a snack before dinner. Zombie service staff was not impressive, decided to leave. Had a great time at Osteria where we were greeted and served by competent and caring staff. Avoid the HandleBar, even though the name is catchy.
(1)Arryn B.
This place has a cool deck, so for that it gets two stars. If you want a 30 dollar wedge salad this is your spot.
(2)Benjamin Y.
Stopped in for a baileys and coffee ($9) and to watch the game. Not a lot of space at the bar, but sufficient. Tried the salmon burger the day before and it was pretty good. Highly recommend the sweet potato tots.
(4)Katie R.
Excellent vibe. Superior service and staff - they handle the holiday masses with grace. Everything we've had on the menu is great. All burgers are excellent. First time there in the winter. Summer was a more mellow and relaxed experience.
(5)Carissa P.
Have to agree with some of the other reviews. Service was horrible - no wait staff acknowledged us and finally a manager took our order. Food was good - husband had the 1/2 organic chicken, I had mushroom soup and green apple salad. Kids menu had typical items. Good happy hour specials as well.
(2)Karen G.
Slow service and weak drinks. We sat down and our server never took our order. Someone else did. We were never given a place setting nor asked if we needed anything. Food was ok but I would never go back. - stars if you ask me.
(1)van t.
We were in Jackson hole for four days and this was the best restaurant in town! We had the opportunity to meet Jeffrey (the chef) and he was so gracious! He brought out desserts for our group of 14 and they were so delicious! Definitely get the prefix burger item.... Best bang for your buck! The prefix comes with elk chili (with Fritos) and a memorable burger with truffle oil and garlic aioli and soft macadamiam chocolate cookie!! Jeff even sent us some Snake River Lager on the house. I would absolutely come here again! Top notch friendly service in the four seasons! Great hangout spot near the gondola!
(5)Theresa M.
I sat outside on the patio each day to watch my family ski. My family and I enjoyed the hot cocoa several times through out our week. We had the garlic herb fries and freckles on the patio one day. The garlic herb fries come with 3 dipping sauces that are the best!! We also dined in for lunch one day. My husband and I split the Elk Burger, one daughter had the turkey burger and one daughter had the chicken shawarma.
(3)Kayla K.
We were seated in a nearly empty restaurant on a Saturday night. We had four adults and one infant in our group. We waited for water and our waiter to come and greet us. After 15 minutes we left. Poor service. Won't be going back.
(1)Chuck K.
Rarely do I find a place that makes a proper old fashioned. Single large ice cube! Excellent wings. Great view too.
(4)Pascal Z.
Nice place. Chicken wings and nachos were excellent. Good place to get a draft beer. The interior is beautifully done. Wish I had stayed at the hotel. Looks swanky.
(4)Carolyn M.
The service was spotty, but you can't beat the views. Nice layout inside. They have what has to be the best turkey burger I've ever tasted. Pretty excellent fries too. Don't skip their Teton mule thingy (it has a different name, but it's like a Moscow mule , it comes in a copper mug, and it has cucumber). They should know what you mean.
(3)Frank W.
Great place to get your après ski started on their nice outdoor terrace and bar. Great drink selection and service. We enjoyed the beautiful view of the ski base and mountain.
(4)Lulu T.
Do NOT listen to any of the people whining about prices on here. You're in Jackson Hole, get over it. The food here rocked my freaking world. Do not leave without getting the truffle Mac and cheese!! And the filet was cooked to utter perfection. I will be dreaming of this place for years. YEARS.
(5)Charlie C.
Ehhhh....The outside bar with the fire pits and heated lamps with views of the slopes....fabulous, but it's like 10 degrees outside in January and I want to sit inside. The inside had picnic like wooden tables and wooden walls. Nothing fancy...kinda tacky. The bar menu had nothing fancy (I'm into fancy creative drinks). If you're into bourbons, whiskey, and beers then this is your place. They didn't even have any flavored syrups like ginger or fancy margaritas or anything. C'mon this is a Four Seasons people!!! The menu lacked in variety and apparently this a restaurant run by Michael Mina?? Not impressed at all. The bartender was not attentive. The crowd looked boring, older, and definitely not hip. I am by no means a twenty something hipster but I'd still like something interesting to look at besides mens in their 60s. I guess if you wanted to find a rich daddy here then you'd be good but you better hurry and make it for the early bird special (no later than 5 or 6pm). I had one drink and quickly left.
(2)Sean K.
The turkey burger is awesome! Service has been really good both times I have been there this week. I'm only giving it 4 stars because it is very pricey. $18 for a turkey burger! But it's the four seasons and it's in Jackson Hole so it's understandable.
(4)Jennifer M.
Loved everything about the Handle Bar. The food is outstanding -- this is a new Michael Mina restaurant on the base level of Four Seasons. My Falafel burger is so fresh and healthy as was my salad. And the bartenders Ben and Erik are so helpful, friendly and professional. I'll definitely be back!!
(5)Russ D.
Good stuff all week

When you look at the website and the name of the place, you start thinking that this is a hideaway speakeasy; a little bit dirty and cheap in all the right ways. However, the fact that this place is in the Four Seasons Resort at Jackson Hole (in Teton Village) should really tip you off. This place wasn't dark, dank, or cheap. We went there for apres-ski, to check out some of their drinks and food. The place well large, brightly lit, with a large bar and also some picnic table type seating. We were pleasantly surprised to see that they had a happy hour from 4-9pm with both drink and appetizer specials. Their happy hour special cocktails were delicious and unique (I had a Velvet Ginger and Milk Punch- served in a moose shaped glass!) and the beer selection is incredible. They serve beer in a BOOT (33oz), but if you do the math, buying 2 pints might make more sense. BUT!!! BEER!!! IN A BOOT!!!! We did have a few appetizers, the green chili, and brussel sprouts as well. The brussel sprouts were cooked with fiji apples and were honestly the best brussel sprouts I've ever had. Other than that, they did have entrees starting at 5pm, but they were pretty expensive- albeit expected for Jackson Hole (high 20s-30s). Burgers will run you about 14-18 and they also have hot dogs/brats. I would totally go again- but with tempered expectations.
(4)James M.
The quality that u would expect from the Four Seasons but pricey compared to the local competition. Definitely very enjoyable
(4)Andrew S.
If the food was even ok this place would be 4-5 stars. Food was poor. Its a shame, because the beer and whiskey selection is great, and the staff is friendly.
(3)David M.
Didn't see what this place was like before, but for being part of the Four Seasons, I'll say that they could probably improve in the following areas: 1. Make sure your hostess knows what's available and where to seat guest. Also, the hostess stand should never be left unattended. 2. We started with elk chili and roasted pumpkin soup. Both dishes lacked flavor, I wanted some Tabasco and salt, but our servers didn't get back to our table until we were done w/ the food and waiting for another drink...better bump up the staff or do some training before the season really starts. 3. The decor is so generic. Applebee's or chili's has more theme, I feel like I'm eating at a Golden Corral w/ generic Ikea chairs and tables w/ flannel upholstered booths. This is the four seasons, get the regional decor, where are the elk antlers, moose and buffalo heads? 4. I do like the big LEDTVs in the bar and part of the restaurant seating area. Finally, service is critical in a service industry. For $500/night the customer deserves better.
(1)Rachel R.
I realize this is a new establishment for Jackson, but I expected a much higher level of service for a restaurant associated with the esteemed Four Seasons brand. We made a last minute reservation and when we got to the restaurant (which was only 1/8th full), we asked to sit outside, which we were denied with no alternate option (the restaurant never got more than 1/3 full the entire time we were there, including outside). Then, we waited for FIFTEEN MINUTES (literally, I timed it) to be initially greeted by our server to even get water....she then only came to our table after I finally approached the hostess to let her know that we hadn't seen our server yet. Service was spotty at best from then on and we were double charged for several items on our already outrageous bill for sub-par food. Four seasons needs to do some immediate service training at this restaurant if they want it to be successful, until then - don't waste your time or money!
(1)ML P.
Good grief, what a terrible restaurant. For years, the Four Seasons seems to have struggled with this location: its lunch/après ski joint. They closed The Peaks after a steady decline and after much money and effort, opened something really mediocre. We ate lunch there on 1/25/13. The place was not busy at all, but it took FOREVER to be seated and for our waitress to come over? Are they trying to save money with a skeleton crew? I won't go into how lame the ambiance is. Someone charged them a lot of money for bland decor to match the food. We ordered chili, a Caesar chicken salad, and cod and chips. Both the chili and the cod and chips were remarkable for how flavorless they were. How can you make bland chili? There was no hint of game flavor or spice in the chili. And the cod -- I felt bad that a fish had to die to make something so devoid of flavor. They killed the fish and then the taste. You had to smother the thing in tartar sauce or ketchup -- ANYTHING - to make it palatable. Worst of all -- my husband's chicken Caesar came out -- after nearly 30 minutes -- with RAW chicken. So utterly nasty -- and on top of gooey, bottled dressing -- clearly not made fresh. One of the grossest things I have seen in a long time. The waitress comped the salad and sent over a plate of two warm chocolate chip cookies (for a table of 3????). She was very nice about the event, but I am still puzzled as to how the lunch could have taken 30 minutes to prepare and still come out raw. Blech... This place is a standout in terms of the worst hotel restaurant meal, let alone Four Seasons meal, I have had in a very, very long time. For lunch, go up to the Casper lift and eat there. Food is fine, and at least you have a terroir element going...

This is the newly renamed bar/restaurant at the base of the mountain in the Four Seasons. It was formerly The Peak. My family and I spend Christmas in Jackson every year and if we ski we are at this establishment afterwards. It was so easy just to kick off your skis and pop in for a drink and the elk nachos, that were AHMAZING. Well this Christmas it was completely different. We were informed it was under new management. The beyond tacky name was only the beginning. It's named The Handle Bar after mustaches, and I think we can all agree that the mustache fascination should die with the new year. Secondly the elk nachos weren't the same. They were more like gas station nachos compared to what they used to be and if you're sharing (its a big portion) then theres a really good chance you won't even get a piece of elk at all. I can't even explain how disappointing this is. Those nachos were perfect with a Pako's IPA apre ski. Third, the decor THE DECOR. It now looks like Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne were in charge of the redesign. This place was so perfect before. Dimly lit, Four Seasons meets high end ski resort swanky. It now looks like a mountain inspired Denny's. DISAPPOINTING! Lastly, after we gave up on the eats, we stopped in after skiing on our last day just to grab a beer because the location is so convenient. There were 3 of us and we happened to get a seat at the bar, AT THE BAR. There were probably 6-8 people working behind the bar and the bar is probably a 20-top. It was filled with dirty glasses. We sat there for 25 minutes and couldn't even get anyone to make eye contact with us, much less take our order. We ended up just leaving and going to the Mangy Moose, which is a little farther but has GREAT nachos without elk and good service. So disappointing! Let's boycott so maybe by next year they will get there act together. SHALL WE?

I'm surprised to see negative reviews about this place, I thought it was great! The decor isn't fancy, but neither is the concept, and I don't believe that something has to be pretentious to be good. No need to have an overdone atmosphere when most of the customers haven't even bothered to take off their ski boots. It's a burger and beer place, people, and a great one at that! I've been a couple times and each time I have been a happy customer. I'll just review the most recent trip with the family. There was an abundance of people up at the host stand, and we were seated promptly even though the place was packed. They have a variety of things to keep kids occupied, which is great for parents. The friendly server was at the table quickly to take drink orders and we received our drinks promptly. I had a whiskey drink that was pretty inventive and delicious and my husband had an ice cold beer. They had covered cups for the kids so nobody spilled anything on themselves. Yay. We ordered and the food was out in good time. Our first course was great. The pumpkin soup was delicious and full of spices, the quinoa salad was unexpectedly yummy and the sweet potato tots were so good. Crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Yum. The kids had the Mac and cheese and they loved it. My husband's hot dog and elk chili were very good and my bacon cheeseburger was fantastic. The beef patties were nice and thin so I didn't feel like I was biting into half a cow. Oh and the fries were great! For dessert there was chocolate cake for myself and my husband and the kids had root beer floats with chocolate chip cookies. The floats had chocolate straws!! The only problem we encountered is that the server seemed to disappear after taking our food order. Someone else brings out the food, but no one ever came back to ask if we needed anything else or to see how things were. It took some time to flag down someone to fetch some mayo. Other than that, the food was great and we will most definitely be back. Don't listen to the haters, get into the Handle Bar and judge for yourself!
(4)Leslie M.
The Handle Bar is a loser. I am so surprised that the Four Seasons agreed to put this restaurant in its hotel. The food is poorly prepared, particularly the burgers which look like they just dropped off the same truck used by the fast food restaurants- not even hand formed and not cooked as requested. More insulting is the fact that they charge to refill a diet coke. The only dish half worth eating were the brussel sprouts. We visit Jackson Hole on a regular basis and we will never waste our time here again. It was much better in any of its other iterations.

Open one week, this is Michael Mina's new "gastro pub" in the old Elevations restaurant and bar in the Four Seasons Hotel in Teton Village. Frankly I was disappointed. The redesigned restaurant lacked character, and I preferred the old layout, decor and location of the bar. Moreover, the food was mediocre. I had the chicken schwarma gyro which was so salty that I could barely finish it. My friend had a decent burger, but again the fries were so heavily seasoned that we could not finish them. I have to say that I was disappointed that such a "foodie" joint could not even bother to source any of its meats locally from any of the fine local ranches such as Snake River.
