Have a howling good time at The Royal Wolf

Mouthwatering eats and lip-smacking beverages are key ingredients of a Teton Valley night done right mingling at ‘the Wolf.’

A favored staple among the local hangouts in Driggs, the Royal Wolf (or the Wolf, for short) serves up satisfying, hometown fare with just the right pinch of sauciness to ensure a feel-good evening.

The Royal Wolf is a unique experience for travelers at any time of the year, according to the management team. It has been a standout establishment in Teton Valley for twenty-five years. During the summer it attracts anglers, floaters, and adventurous hikers. Come winter, it’s a mainstay among the ski community.

To walk in for the first time, or every time, feels like happy hour at your home-away-from-home spot. Warm laughter from the corner, the crack of billiard balls at the back; it’s all as familiar as burgers-‘n’-fries (and the Wolf’s got you covered on that front).

Guests can expect a lively atmosphere, aided by an ever-changing rotation of exciting cocktails, brews, and spirits. A night spent here is a peek into the tales of local life in the Tetons. There’s never a dull moment at good ol’ Royal Wolf. Local or visitor, everybody seems to know of the Wolf. Expect its name to be synonymous with a spirit as genuinely wild as the Teton Mountains themselves.

Once inside, it’s difficult to find a table without first enjoying a friendly conversation or two. And the restaurant’s warm and inviting staff? Expect nothing short of a classic Western welcome from this wolf pack. The staffers are also a sure-fire resource for brainstorming adventures or helping you select the evening’s meal from a delectably eclectic menu.

A plate heaped high with ravioli steaming under melted cheese does wonders after a day enjoyed outdoors. Another savvy selection from the Wolf’s menu is a tasty beauty known simply as the Porcini Pork Sausage Pita. This dish packs a one-two ‘local’ punch as the sausage is made just around the corner at Driggs’ very own Teton Valley Meats.

Appetizers at the Wolf more than hold their own. Wonton-wrapped pork potstickers pour on the flavor, while enticing the appetite to be ready for more. Think truffle fries or nachos. And yes, salads, too. But a word to the wise: While a southwestern fajita salad may technically be a dish of leafy greens, at the Wolf it packs a wallop.

At this establishment, it’s all about family, friends, and upbeat atmosphere. The Royal Wolf howls to life in the center of Driggs on Depot Street. For hours and more info, vist theroyalwolf.com.
