   I can’t remember a dining experience that was worse than this one. Pros - seated on time and the appetizer was great (Parmesan artichoke dip) and that is it. Cons - everything else. Think Cracker Barrel, but very poor execution and quality in every aspect. We were celebrating a birthday and had to move to a different venue to celebrate after the delivery of the dinner. We ordered steaks and the New York strip steak was ok. However, the second steak was extremely disappointing, a Cheyenne Tenderloin. It was ordered medium and was presented with a cold raw center. I had one bite of steak and one bite of garlic mashed potatoes. The waiter checked in and took the steak and potatoes away. I encourage my wife to continue eating while I waited for my meal to return. The steak was returned cooked this time but no potatoes, and yes my wife had completed her dinner. I asked the waiter where the rest of my meal was and he indicated that the cooks were new and were struggling. The garlic mashed potatoes were never returned to the table. I did taste my wife’s garlic mashed potatoes and they are were not very good. I had read the reviews and expected a quality meal. I would not recommend eating at this venue. Over priced for average to below average food. I have reread the reviews again and the two star reviews are spot on, a true reflection of this establishment. On a side note, while we waited for the steak to be cooked and returned we observe one of the cooks spending more time texting than cooking the steaks. While he was gloved, he held his dirty phone with one of the gloved hands he was also cooking with … disgusting to say the least!

   Awesome place !! The food could have been 5 stars but I had to take into account that two of our elk chops were over cooked. The huckleberry pie is out of this world!!!

   Waiter didn’t get our order correct then argued with us about it! We were sat in an up stairs room with huge loud party when tons of tables on lower level were available! The food was excellent but the other things detracted!

   Service was excellent. Frequent Gunbarrel about 4-5 times a year, this last meal was a little disappointing. The bison ribs had too much bbq sauce. Vegetable side was sparse. Paid $48 for mostly sauce and a small handful of green beans.

   I had bison ribs for the first time and wasn't overly impressed as they were very fatty. Maybe this is normal since I have no previous experience with them. Our friends had elk steak and was very pleased with their choice. The service was mediocre at best. The waiter was not very friendly and we felt rushed on several occasions. I was overall disappointed with the restaurant based on the price point, I expect better service.

   We had great expectations for this place. The reviews were good. Our waitress was not friendly and did not seem like she cared if we received service at all. We ordered the strip steak the medallions and the two other steaks. All had fat throughout them. The sides were good and we had the wedge salad which was good. For the price we expected the food to be so much better.

    It was very loud, and the meal felt rushed / The food was good but after reading the reviews and a previous visit a few years ago, I expected much more / It isn't a "foodie" restaurant more a family restaurant

    Food was very good, had 3 different kinds of game meats. Service was somewhat churn and burn and assumed we would skip a couple of courses. We had to tell what we wanted instead of being informed and asked by the server. I had reservations but was placed in the far corner of the restaurant near banquet tables. The food was good but the price was too high.

    Always stuck on the second floor with the big tables. Noises to the point yelling to talk. Way over priced, limited menu. Salads are a rip off. Been going there for years. It declines every year. We come from Indiana on vacation. Use to eat there often, now it’s a one timer. Jackson in general is a rip off comparatively speaking.

    Fairly good food and nice atmosphere but horrible service. Server did not come to our table until 10+ minutes after we were seated. Only refilled water once. Server rarely checked on our table, yet walked by several times not acknowledging our table although we were ready to order or in need of a drink refill. Wouldn’t return due to slow/poor service.

    Possibly the host over sat our waitress causing us to be in a horrible timeline hole for the attention of the waitress… or she was just in bare minimum mode… is was my first time giving less than 20% in ages. Wife and I have done the job for years in years past in lower but mostly higher end locations… we get it. I think it was a one off experience for a busy place on a busy night. Does look like they have it pretty well down to provide a good service

    We were in town on vacation and ate here based on recommendations. It was amazing! Our server, Jordan, was attentive, kind, and helpful. We had the bison prime rib, bison tenderloin, and elk medallions - all amazing and cooked just right! We also had the cheesecake & berry cobbler for dessert - both delicious! If we are here again we will definitely return!

    Waiter was very attentive. The steak was ever so slight over cooked but acceptable. It would have been nice if the restaurant would offer sautéed mushrooms to go along with the steak.

    OMG! Best dinner of our vacation so far! We didn't take photos of the onion soup and artichoke dip as we were starved but they were absolutely amazing! Yum! We were seated immediately at an outside table as we requested and the evening was perfect. Hubby got the vegetable lasagna which he loved. Daughter got the elk lollipops with huckleberry demiglaze and they were delicious and tender! The roasted carrots served with them were like candy! My bison prime rib was absolutely amazing! I couldn't believe how tender and delicious it was! The rub was perfection and it was cooked spot on medium rare! Perfect! Highly recommended!

    3 in our party all 3 meals meat was bad and cold Ordered NY strip and it was tough and lot of fat for a strip. Grandson ordered elk chops they were raw too Husband sent his tenderloin back to be cooked to medium as ordered and it was still cold in middle and raw, not rare but raw. Paid $160.00 for meal that we could not eat. I told waitress the issues and she shrugged and said she could have my steak cooked more. Steak was full of gristle and fat cooking does not fix that

    Atmosphere is wonderful! Loved the Look of the rustic lodge type with the Animal and Western theme! Food was delicious and cooked just right! I had the woodfired grilled and glazed Salmon over a Rice Rossato with a yummy field greens salad! My husband had the Bison Prime Rib and a delicious baked potato and field greens salad! We highly recommended The Gun Barrel to other travelers we met, and when in the area again, we definitely would return! Our waiter Steve was excellent, and we appreciated his helpful and courteous service!

    We had a party of 6 and ordered our food and every received their food but me. I got the steakhouse burger. The waiter was not good at communicating with me or our table. Seemed very stand off-ish and shy. Could barely get his attention when we did he went straight to the manager and then told me my burger was on another grill and he was slow getting to it and he was given to someone else. The manager came over and told me they would have me one soon and she would take it off of our bill and immmediately left. I receive my burger and it’s light brown on the outside. Totally raw on the inside. Wasn’t even warm. I could not eat it. We spoke to the Manager again to encounter a rude attitude when she offered to make me another one and box it up. When you go to an upscale restaurant you don’t expect someone to go home hungry without haven eaten. She did take 25% off of our check but they know you are more than likely from out of town and they could care less to right their wrongs and make the customer happy. They automatically charged 20% gratuity and the server did not deserve that. Honestly our meal should have been free at that point. My husbands $60 steak had lots of fat which left him with a smaller portion of meat. I wouldn’t have even rated it a star had I not had to. I would not go to this place ever again. I will make sure people know when traveling to Jackson Hole not to bother with this restaurant. In fact I would avoid it.
