Serving the North Since 2000
Coyotes began as a small family restaurant with a big idea — that hospitality in the North should be personal, genuine, and lasting. Over the years, we’ve grown into a trusted name for quality dining in Yellowknife.
Our focus has evolved, but our values haven’t: treat every guest like family, prepare food we’re proud to serve, and support the community that’s supported us for more than two decades.
Quality First
Fresh steaks, seafood, and classic sides.
Hospitality; Always
Friendly faces, with proven and consistent service.
Local Roots
Always improving, yet still a northern original since 2000.

If you are coming to Yellowknife, do not miss this place! The owner is a lovely man and the chef is talented enough to cook anywhere in the world. Each and every meal was cooked to perfection with immaculate presentation. The nightly specials are worthy of a “OMG this is good!” We had the surf and turf the first night and the prime rib the second night. And the desserts are to die for!! Do not sleep on Coyotes Steakhouse!!

This is my favourite restaurant in Yellowknife. Food and service are exceptional. I had a 12 oz Prime Rib with perfect potatoes, vegetables and Yorkshire pudding - $40. Music is good but not too loud. Owner and staff are very friendly. You cannot go wrong here. I only come out of the far North a few times a year and I visit here when I can.

Don't miss the Northern Fish Fry if you like your fish. They informed it's fresh catch they source locally, served with fries and salad. The fish did taste good and was cooked beautifully. The sauces also had a distinct touch. The guy who served us was super fun. The place also serves liquor, has a pool table and games for kids. Great dining experience ❤️

A perfect gem in Yellowknife. Great food and great service. The classic poutine was amazing! Great family spot with tons of board games, pool table and foosball table. Excellent space to eat and chat if meeting for business. In walking distance from downtown.

Visiting for 5 days discovered this hidden gem family steakhouse had calamari and their petite surf&turf dinner special with 6 oz steak and lobster tail my daughter had the rack of ribs. The ribs were a bit dry and the sauce was a bit too sweet for our taste but the rest were so good that we had to comeback for their prime rib Thursday! Boy am i glad I did! I had the best prime rib so far and I couldn't believe I had it in Yellowknife. The owner was accommodating and always have good recommendations if I ever visit Yellowknife again I'll definitely comeback for the delicious prime ribs! highly recommended:)

We walked in and the owner greeted us and let us know he was fully booked but he actually thought our timing might have been perfect and he got us in. He recommended many things on the menu and was so fun and welcoming. What a delightful man!
Our food was delicious. I had the NY Steak with garlic mash and veggies. All incredible. Others in my party had the surf and turf, a burger, the ribs and the spaghetti and meatballs. It was all delicious! It was a truly wonderful experience and I and my family cannot recommend it enough!★★★★★ - Google
