Only steps away, but light-years from Lake McDonald Lodge's decor and vibe, Jammer Joe's (named for Joe Kendall, who drove the park's iconic Red Buses for 16 years) looks like a pizzeria from a Midwestern suburban strip mall circa 1970. However, it's a pleasant apparition for tired hikers enamored by the simple no-frills menu, which, in addition to whole-grain pizzas, includes burgers, pasta and salads.
The pizza, pasta and salad lunch buffet (adult/child $14/11) is an especially good deal.
