The ambiance felt like a warm family owned restaurant. The food tasted like it too! Very tasty! I ordered the BLTA wrapped in lettuce cause bread doesn't like me and it was very tasty. The bacon was crispy and delicious. I especially liked the fries they were cooked perfectly. I'll be back again when I'm driving through. I'll probably plan my trip around a lunchtime here. Thank you! read more

The service was great! Our waitress was very nice and took good care of us. She was pretty busy and running around the whole time. The food was good. We were expecting just ok fried food but instead we got hand cut fries! Inside is small but clean. Great place for a burger and a beer. read more

sat for more than 20 minutes before we were even acknowledged-took another 15 to get water, another 15 minutes to have our order taken and almost 2 hours to get our food. The locals got service and food within minutes of their order being taken visitors be ready to wait food was good but none of our orders were right! read more

We had a great dinner here while staying in diamondville. I had the chicken fried steak and my son had the pork chop. Chicken fried steak was cooked perfectly, we would return here if we ever came back to this part of Wyoming. read more

7/22/24: Yelp, Google, et al say it's open today, BUT a handwritten sign says:" Closed, coolers down." Looks very run-down (window aircon unit falling out, etc.), so not sure how long it's been closed? Check before going! (Fortunately, we found the Opera House Store, and Fossil Fuel Coffee, open on the town center. read more

We were in town while doing some fossil digging and decided to check out local restaurants while we were here. I had the burger dip, which was exactly as described. I saw someone else's photo and was intrigued. Burger was cooked well and the combination worked to be dipped in au jus. My friends had a build your own chicken sandwich and the country fried steak. No complaints on the chicken sandwich and the white gravy for the country fried steak was flavorful and we'll seasoned. We came in the early evening for dinner and it wasn't too crowded. There were maybe 3 other tables by the time we placed our order. The problem here is a bit with the service. They were on point with drink refills. But like the other reviewers complained, it does take a while to get your food. We did see other tables show up and order after us and they got their food first. We suspect they favor getting orders out for the regulars/locals to keep them happy over people just passing through. We had no where else to go, so we stuck it out for a descent meal. Definitely beats the Arctic Circle for burgers hands down! read more

Atmosphere was as expected for this tiny restaurant in the west. The reviews set our expectations too high tho. The biggest problem is that service... I think if you come at a time that isn't busy you won't be unhappy. How we had 6 other groups eating at the same time as us. It took 20 minutes to order and another 40 for our food. Our food arrived cold and was clearly under the heat lamp for at least 20 minutes.... in one hour we got one drink refill when the food arrived. They gave our appetizer to the wrong table. The food itself was ok for being cold, hard to give it a fair review tho because it was likely better hot. We ordered the burger melt and the triple club. The beef was well done, the club looked perfect. The fry sauce was watered down and the fried avocado was forgettable and I wouldn't order it ever again. read more

Cute place. Hot turkey sandwich was good. Fry's were soggy and the pastrami was too tough, had to cut it to eat it.

This place is a pleasant surprise. From the outside, it doesn't grab your attention. But it's modest exterior shouldn't put you off. The food is terrific and the prices are exceptionally reasonable. My wife had the chefs salad and I ate a taco salad. Portions were more than adequate and all the ingredients were super fresh and delicious. In addition, the service was quick and the folks who took our food order were very nice. Of course our experience was limited. We can't comment on their breakfast, lunch or dinner specials, but if our dinner salads reflect the care that is taken in the kitchen then you certainly won't be disappointed. read more

We arrived here and we could see that they were busy. They seated us and took our order. But an hour later we were still waiting. Meanwhile, another couple came in later and they were served in a reasonable time. They almost finished their meal while we continued waiting. My wife is diabetic and she needed to eat. We gave up and left, exasperated. We were ignored. We're good guests to have in anyone's establishment. We tip well and we do a good job of representing people from out of town. But this is unacceptable. Is this how they normally treat people who are passing through? Next time I won't bother stopping in this town. We left disgusted. read more

My first time in Kemmerer, WY. We stopped here for lunch. Good food and Leonardo our waiter was really great! I had the prime rib French dip and my husband had a bacon cheeseburger! read more

Decided to do a quick Google search and this place had some good Google reviews. Pleasantly surprised when we arrived. Small town front with a very clean interior. Friendly staff. Fairly good meal selection for adults and young adults. Not too many options for picky toddlers. Excellent price for a family of 4. Would recommend a visit if driving through. read more

Stopped here for lunch while on a road trip. YUMMY! Had chicken fried steak and it was delicious! I don't usually do dessert but had to try the apple pie ala-mode. It was to die for. Very clean and service was 10+ read more

After baking in the sun for the Oyster Ridge Music Festival (a must if you find yourself in Kemmerer Wyoming in July), heading into the Caribou Cafe for some water, air conditioning, and a delicious meal was a no-brainer. The wait staff was quick and helpful, the food was good, and we left refreshed and ready to hit the park again for some amazing music. It was awesome that they let us in to eat (Pizza Hut, curb side service only still at this point is ridiculous). The pie was delicious too. read more

Great diner just off of US 30West. Soup of the day (Cream of Mishroom) was creamy and stuffed full of mushrooms. Marinated Chicken breast was speciall of the day. Chicken is thin, but very tasty. Bacon was extra good. BLTA was also very good. Again, loved the bacon. Topped lunch off with Strawberry-Rhubarb pie. It was served hot with vanilla ice cream. The top crust was coated with a touch of cinnamon and granulated sugar. Restaurant interior is clean and bright. Service was cheerful and attentive. Will be back! read more

This place was absolutely excellent! I came down here with my family when we headed from Yellowstone to go to Utah. We we're extremely surprised about the food given that the place is a small hole in the wall it seems. The service was excellent, Antonio treated us right! My dad said he had the best carne asada that he ever had, and my dad's from south Texas! I had the special which was a chicken fried steak it was utterly amazing. Mom had chicken strips they were huge! Brother had a buyer and fries! Their sauces were great! We would definitely go back, if we ever travel out that way again. The place was clean and they were practicing social distancing and wearing masks! Thank goodness! We felt safe to dine there. Thee chefs are excellent, and their prices were just right! Thanks so much for a memorable experience Caribou café! read more

I was staying near Kemmerer, Wyoming for work. I wasn't really sure what kind of food options Kemmerer would have. When I checked into my hotel the first recommendation from the person working the desk was 'Pizza Hut' and I instantly vowed I would find a local independent restaurant. I drove all over Kemmerer and Caribou caught my eye for looking 'friendly'. Sure enough, it was. The owner/server/hostess seemed to be 'in charge' of the place - running the show, greeting customers in a friendly way when they came in. And - she turned out to be part owner. She recommended the Prime Rib French Dip and it was SUPER good. They also have home made pie and I can confirm the Pecan is great. If you're visiting Fossil Butte or the surrounding area I highly recommend seeking out Caribou Cafe. read more

We stopped here for breakfast because of the yelp reviews. It did not disappoint. Service was great, it was very clean, and the food was excellent. We hope to be in Kemmerer again to enjoy this cafe again. We had the biscuits over biscuits and the English muffin breakfast sand which. Yum! read more

It is a small town restaurant with home cooking. It is a wait for the food, but we thought it was worth it. The grilled squash was delicious and so was the smashed red potato. My husband had the Reuben with garlic fries and really enjoyed them. read more

Passing through Kemmer, it is a must-stop for the country food lover. My husband nearly cried with joy at his country plate and down-home feeling that made him remember his childhood. Food was tasty, well priced, and the service was so kind to us passing through as much as it was great for locals and temp workers. It is truly a gem for those seeking some good country food while trekking through this part of Wyoming. Quality of the meats, the sauces, soooo sooo good. read more

We walked in and sat down. It took 10 minutes for a waitress to visit us. I understand short staff and it is seat yourself. We ordered our drinks and they came quick enough. Then we ordered an appetizer and our food all at once. It took 30 minutes to get our appetizer. The mozzarella sticks were still cold, almost frozen. The waitress didn't return until she brought our food after another 15 minutes or more. We explained the mozzarella sticks were cold and asked for boxes to take our food home. After an hour of waiting we were ready to leave. She brought the boxes without a word about the service, food, or wait time. read more

Basic fare at a reasonable price. The service was good and the food was good. Most parking is on-street, but it was not crowded on the day we went. read more

What a great family place to eat. 5 stars across the board! Great food, very clean, and wonderful staff! Highly recommend.

We ate like kings for under $50 with deserts. It was delicious considering you are in the middle of nowhere. Great service. The taco salad was fresh & delicious so was the biscuits & gravy. The fried chicken salad however was a little much. read more

Stopped for a quick bite in Kemmerer. I loved the open face turkey sandwich! My husband got a burger with bacon (that was actually crispy)

Came 2.5 miles off highway to visit this cafe because of Yelp reviews. Had the pumpkin pancake special for $5.99. Just a hint of pumpkin in the delicious and light pancakes. I loved them and I'm not really a pumpkin fan. Hubby had buttermilk waffle. It was good, too. read more

Very good cafe in an area where there are not a lot of choices. Great place for breakfast or lunch! Small place but very nice and clean.

Good home cooking. My friend and I stopped here for dinner during a long drive from Teton National Park to Salt Lake City. It seems to be mostly a breakfast place, as the menu is about 75% breakfast items. I had the fried chicken special, which was very good. The chicken was hot and very crispy, the sauteed veggies were nicely spiced, and the heavy on the mashed potatoes was not salty (a nice surprise) and had a rich flavour. They have a nice beer selection as well. This is good satisfying home cooking - not fancy or terribly sophisticated - but nicely cooked. Friendly and efficient service. Clean restrooms. read more

So good! Service was quick, food was great. Had the Almond Crunch French Toast, generous portion and absolutely delicious!!!

Great place to stop if you're on the road, the food was tasty and the service was excellent.

They have lots of pie and cake choices but no room to eat more. read more

The hot turkey sandwich is the best ever! Excellent small town restaurant with homemade cooking!

This place was pretty quiet on a Tuesday, but this is a pretty small town. The food was good, the server was very friendly and attentive and everything was reasonably priced for dinner. We would definitely come back, probably for breakfast though, as their breakfast menu looks more extensive than lunch/dinner read more
