Not worth visiting.

Café Genevieve is located in a 104-year-old log cabin in the tourist town of Jackson, Wyoming. We found this highly touted restaurant through the TV show Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. The dinner menu is a mix-and-match of Southern-influenced food. It has a full bar. My party ordered roast chicken, crispy skin Idaho trout, and fried chicken.

The fried chicken is unusual. It is battered so thickly it is almost like a chicken donut. The dough overpowers the chicken. The crispy skin Idaho trout, in my opinion, doesn’t deserve the name. It was mushy and flavorless. The roast chicken, with herbs and greens on the side, was the best dish we ordered. The crispy chicken skin covered the soft dark meat on the inside.

Café Genevieve didn’t live up to its reputation. The mediocre food here is not worthy of the high prices.
