The Running Bear Pancake House provides the West Yellowstone community with a family-style dining experience, known for its friendly and clean atmosphere, homemade baked goods, and delicious pancakes.
The Running Bear Pancake House was originally opened by a couple named Thompson in 1965, running the pancake house during the summer seasons through the year 1974. The name actually comes from a bear once locking itself in the storage building during construction of the restaurant.
When the door was opened, the bear took off running. Running Bear has changed hands several times over the years, but still serves some of the best pancakes around.
