The scallops were great (i hate to say surprisingly, but you really wouldn't expect both good quality scallops, and them being well-prepared, in Wyoming)! What was even better was the ambiance, however! There was a performer playing, which you could hear well from the patio, which itself wasn't crowded, but which gave the feeling of being amongst the show-going crowd while being partitioned off. The patio's also dog friendly (albeit a little narrow). read more

So, an earlish dinner with my mom here on a weekday. Lovely space on the positive. I ordered us the crispy Brussel sprouts as a starter. I wasn't too happy when I saw it. Sloshed to one side of plate (which I'm sure is what happened). $14+ for this appetizer and we got three Brussel sprouts, guessing half the app fell off before service . Underwhelming. I mentioned this to server and she said she would check with kitchen. Mom got the wedge, which she loved. I went for meatloaf and my mom went for ribeye steak as mains. My meatloaf was okay. I did like the ancho chili glaze, tasty! My mom's expensive ribeye was badly overcooked. She ordered medium rare and got medium well on the well side. She simply ate a little and took the rest home for the dog. Expensive dogfood. Service was slow and after I asked about Brussel sprouts, pretty invisible. Never got an answer on them. We left before dessert and just got ourselves ice cream cones at corner instead. Our $12 spent there at I scream was best culinary investment of the night. Overall, no excuses for slow or absent service on weeknight early. App was either half on floor or messy and WAY overpriced for three sprouts. Steak was cooked badly. I would not repeat this expensive experiment. We spend a couple weeks near Lander each summer. Sure liked its food scene better when it was just a cowtown. The California influence hasn't improved it read more

$41.15 (food - crispy brussel sprouts, bison ravioli sugo. drink - water) Cowfish monologue: I've had brussel sprouts before. I've had ravioli before. How different can my dining experience at Cowfish really be?! The answer, inspirationally different. The restaurant was attractive. There were several options to choose from for your ambiance of choice, to include outdoor dining. I ate at the bar and enjoyed my time chatting with the bartenders. As far as the food, well, the brussel sprouts were soooo crispy and tasty. But what was different about these sprouts, there were cute little apple pieces sprinkled on my plate. I finished every crisp, sprout and apple on my plate. It was actually enough to be a meal all by itself, that's of course if you weren't starving like I was. Which leads me to the main course. The bison ravioli sugo. This dish came with, I think macadamia nuts. This dish was certainly not something I would have expected to have and thoroughly enjoy in Lander. But here I was, enjoying every time the fork rose to my mouth to place bison meat wrapped in a pasta pocket covered in sauce right onto my taste buds. Yum, yum and you need to go. I was so full and satisfied. P.S. - Next time I visit, I'll have to order the drink "vesper". Several of those were being made while I sat at the bar enjoying my meal. The fragrance was, well, fragrant. read more

Always good. All the time. Been wanting to take my wife for years now and finally did and the food and the drinks did not disappoint. The servers are always so kind and so knowledgeable about a menu and a place that has a lot to be proud of including the variety and the decor and a menu that keeps awesome staples with new fun rotating items to try to change the pace when feeling adventurous. Thank you for not making me look bad in taking this place up for at least half a decade! read more

After 9 nights of camping we came into Lander at 6:15 pm on a Sat night. I had the Elk meal with a golden beer and my partner had a stunningly perfect "medium" steak. I was a little surprised at the price although it was food I do not have in my home, the service was delightful and it's in the middle of Wyoming. read more

Everything is always above par. Filets are cooked perfectly every time. The food is much better than you'd expect in a small town. Amazing!

Overrated, but not much around to compare it to. Food looked good but was pretty bland for the price.

Visited the area on our way to Jackson. This was the best meal we had in Wyoming. Excellent food and service!

Best food in Lander for dinner. I always get the Robeye which is terrific. Service is good and the Carrot cake is special

This is a popular place, so you'll need to get a reservation. Off the main road, downtown. Casual atmosphere and a bit crowded and noisy. Food was good. Not the best ever but great for the area. Service was very mediocre. It was hard to get them to come back except to take our initial order and bring the bill. They seemed stressed and overworked and trying to handle to many different customers. read more

Able to visit Cowfish and got in before the dinner rush. This place does fill up quickly during dinner. I had the center cut fillet and it basically melted in my mouth. Alexis was my server and did a fantastic job of taking care of me while also caring for her other tables. If you're in the area I highly recommend stopping in. #thanksunclejoe read more

We had National Park food for last 4 days. We wanted fantastic food, and we were not disappointed. We had Ribeye and the mash potatoes were super. Garden salad was even better. Also had beer batter shrimp and fries, that was super as well. For desert We had Carrot Cake with French Press Coffee, what a way to finish the meal. Thanks to our server also, he was attentive and made suggestions in making choices. read more

Service was great and the food was really good. I had the center cut fillet and a cowfish Margarita. I would order the same meal again

HAVE AGAIN: The trout with artichoke hearts was delicious but too many hearts! Best of all was the very best chocolate mousse since Paris! Great service read more

Got into town later then planned. This is one of the few restaurants that were open after 9pm. We were seated quickly in the restaurant section, not the bar area. The decor is nice and the place is spotless. Super clean. Server was on point. I told her my food limitations and she accommodated them right away. I started with the mushrooms and got the chicken salad with Salmon substitute. My wife got a burger. The mushrooms were phenomenal! The salad was good. The salmon needed a bit more seasoning but it was still good. My wife really enjoyed her burger. Really pleased with this place and would come back for sure. read more

This place is expensive, but this place is worth it. They have beautiful outdoor dining and are connected to a bunch of other fabulous Lander restaurants/bars. Service was excellent and they brew their own beers (I think? Hard to tell if they ARE a brewery or just host a brewery?) Beers were solid, but not the type the blow your hair back and make you get 4 growlers to go. This place is expensive, but this place is worth it.

Cowfish - Steak - Seafood Near Me - Lander, Wyoming

I've eaten here a few times now, and if I had completed this review immediately after my first visit, I certainly would've given Cowfish 5 stars. I had the Pan-Fried Rainbow Trout and it was out-of-this-world. The crispy golden-brown trout laid upon artichoke hearts swimming in a lemon-garlic beurre blanc sauce was the best meal I have had at a restaurant in a long time. I was blown away by the depth of flavor and textures that one dish could have. I also thoroughly enjoyed their Half-Tanked Hefe, a wheat beer brewed in house. After my first trip, I couldn't stop thinking about that meal, and the next I went, lived up to my expectations. During the following visit I ordered the Beer Cheese Burger, which I found lacking in flavor and heavy on the bacon. My most recent trip, I got the trout once again, and this time something was off. The sauce was too sour and it was not quite as good. Throughout my trips here I have also gotten the side salad which tasted fantastic with pickled red onions and a white balsamic vinaigrette, though it was on the pricy side at $6. The desserts are decent here as well, but not as good as the main dishes. I enjoyed the cheesecake with blueberry compote and the carrot cake with candied carrots and walnuts, but they did not blow me away. Regardless, the food is great and the staff are as well. I typically sit at the bar and each bartender has been friendly and helpful. The atmosphere of the restaurant is terrific as well with the brewing area in the dining room as well as an outdoor section perfect for fall days. Overall, I think Cowfish is my favorite restaurant in Lander so far and I am sure I'll be back. read more

Fantastic. Great food, friendly staff. Not an excessively long wait. Just all around great.

We stopped here for dinner after a long drive, and it was incredible! The pasta was al dente (perfectly cooked) and the sauce with the cilantro and lime was amazing. I'm not even a fan of beef and the meat was phenomenal. I am super impressed. The ambiance was nice and the service was great. The beer and local burger were also fantastic. We ended up getting a six pack for the road. Would totally recommend the cheesecake. Everything was great. read more

Broke up our road trip from Denver to Yellowstone w an overnight in lander! This place in the moon travel guide for Montana and Wyoming. Then read about this joint on Google, yelp and TripAdvisor and It lived up to all its accolades and reviews! Unique flavors and foodie heaven , this casual classy Gastro pub. Started with a pisco sour! What a delightful find in small town Wyoming! We were in Chile this time last year and that was a national drink! Moving on... we started with the muscles and they were delicious. Just the right amount of heat. My husband had the ribeye and I had the orrchitte pasta. Both were unique and flavorful. What a delightful way to end our first day in vacay! read more

Everything was exceptional - service, drinks, food and atmosphere. Highly recommended!

I had the Tuna Shasimi, it was a good size portion for the appetizer, the tuna itself had a weird texture, but still ok, I don't think I'll order that again. The fish and chips were my main course, the fish looked like it was taken straight from the fryer, on the newspaper liner in the basket, so the breading was soaked in grease, so it was soggy, the fish was bland, it didn't taste like there was any seasoning at all, and the fries were shoestring, very bland, maybe try something like truffle fries, or duck fat fries, put some seasoning on there. Prices have gone up since the last time i was there, with the ribeye at $45, appetizer, entree, and 2 beer at $60 , not including the tip. read more

The place is nice, upscale with a bar. The service was good but the food is not what I expected for an upscale restaurant. The bread they give you was hard as a rock and was uneatable. Our entrees were less desirable. Our steak was overcooked, supposed to be medium rare but came out medium well. We were compensated 20 percent of the $40 steak price for this. The shrimp we ordered was good but that was about it. I don't know if I would come back since it was an expensive place to eat at. read more

I have had many excellent dinners here, but this one was so disappointing. It really needs to be addressed by the management. I was at the Cowfish 2 nights ago and decided to try the meatloaf. It arrived on an oblong plate. It was a heap of mashed potatoes topped by two slices of dry meatloaf on a thin schmeer of some kind of thin sauce, with a few "crispy" fried onions piled on top. The onions were not crispy but instead, soft and very greasy. All of this was pushed to the right side of the plate, leaving the entire left side bare making you wonder what they had forgotten to put there? It amounted to a heap of dry potatoes, topped by dry meatloaf. No sauce, no gravy to speak of and it cost me $29.00. Okay. It could have been a bad night, but yesterday, I talked to a friend who had dinner there a few weeks ago and she mentioned what a disappointment the meatloaf was. Her description was identical to my experience. Neither of us had ordered it before and we agreed that we will never order it again. On the upside, the service was excellent! I also tried the new ginger beer that they are making and other than a bit sweeter than I would prefer, it was very good and very gingery. I took a six-pack home. read more

Traveling through town to my other house in Dubois and stopped here for a quick dinner. Had the Tagliatelle pasta dish and the Wedge salad which were good but not great. The Wedge was flavorful and had lots of blu cheese which I like but sometimes too much dressing can ruin a salad. The tagliatelle pasta did say spicy which is what it is, a good bit of spice. I'm not afraid of spicy food but I wasn't sure if this was Thai spicy or simple spicy. I was hoping the main dish would have had more shrimp and a bigger piece of fish, which was over cooked and small. I wasn't impressed with the dish. Beyond the dish the bread was very hard, and I had to soak it in the oil and wine vinegar to break it down so I could eat it. The service was ok but after the food was placed I couldn't get the staffs attention to refill my beer or water. Also, at the end of the meal he didn't ask for dessert just placed the ticket and left. I guess they don't up sell dessert here. read more
