Big, creative burgers and milkshakes in a cozy, below-street spot; great for hearty appetites, with some inconsistency and value gripes to note.
Why it gets a B+ for overall quality
Jackson Hole delivers excellent burger quality with creative toppings and generous portions that justify its local reputation, but inconsistent execution on doneness and seasoning prevents higher-grade reliability. Friendly, attentive service and a charming basement setting with Western character make it a solid neighborhood destination, though the tight space and occasional waits limit appeal for those seeking effortless dining.
Restaurant Summary
Down a few steps on East 64th, the room feels warm and bustling with Western trinkets and counter seats facing the grill. Diners rave about huge, juicy patties and thick shakes, with one calling it “a burger lovers paradise.” Service skews friendly, though the cozy space can mean brief waits and the occasional miss on speed. The cooking is classic American with playful twists—think truffle BBQ, goat cheese with bacon jam, and even Cheetos—so it leans elevated comfort rather than avant-garde. Most love the bold flavor stacks and towering size; a smaller chorus cites uneven seasoning or doneness. If you want reliable, creative diner-style burgers and oversized portions, you will likely leave happy. Families fit right in here. Kids gravitate to cheeseburgers, chicken tenders, and fries, and milkshakes are a slam dunk. There is a veggie burger and some lighter options, but the menu is mainly hearty; picky eaters still find simple, familiar choices like grilled cheese or a plain burger.
