About Calico Restaurant & Bar
After long days exploring Grand Teton National Park's hiking trails or conquering Jackson Hole Mountain Resort's slopes, families need a place where both parents and kids can truly unwind - and since 1966, Calico Restaurant & Bar has been that perfect sanctuary in Wilson. This beloved institution understands that adventure-filled days with children require more than just good food; they demand a setting where kids can safely burn off energy while parents savor quality Italian-American cuisine.
The restaurant's crown jewel is its massive 1.5-acre fenced lawn, complete with game balls and space for children to run freely while parents enjoy leisurely meals on the expansive outdoor deck. This unique setup allows families to extend their outdoor time beyond the hiking trails and ski slopes, creating a seamless transition from day adventures to evening relaxation.
The kitchen takes pride in hand-throwing pizzas made with locally-sourced, sustainable ingredients, while the menu features grass-fed beef from local ranches and free-range organic chicken. Whether you're refueling after a morning of wildlife watching in Grand Teton or celebrating a successful family ski lesson, Calico provides the perfect blend of quality food and kid-friendly atmosphere.
The rustic lodge setting captures the authentic Jackson Hole spirit while remaining completely approachable for families with tired, hungry children. Local parents particularly appreciate the restaurant's understanding that mountain adventures with kids require flexibility and patience - qualities that define the Calico experience.
