This place has never disappointed. Except one time when i got a breakfast burrito (which was really good) and i asked for red chili but i thought it was red chile-there's a difference i guess-nice hole-in-the-wall atmosphere which usually means good food tbh. We are regulars here so the staff recognize us and always say hi to our baby read more

My friend brought me to this place for breakfast when we were on our way to Sturgis. The server was extremely nice. She was just getting back knee surgery I believe. The food came out quick and tasted good. I got a basic breakfast and my sunny side eggs were extra runny, the way I like them. The hashbrowns needed some salt and pepper, but otherwise everything was good. Good local small place to grab a bite to eat on your way in or out of town. read more

Food was wonderful - home cooked meal for an extremely reasonable price. CJ was very attentive and super friendly. Loved the conversation!

This is my go to place for breakfast or lunch. Food is always freshly prepared and service is great. Am a big fan of the liver and onions if you are so inclined! read more

Honestly a great place service is perfect, has a comfortable ambiance to it. And the food is just delicious! The waitresses are the nicest will most definitely go again read more

Our waitress Debby was AMAZING. She powered through her "boss" Chandra screaming at her from the kitchen while Debby was already dealing with people flooding in and her own tables and customer. The food and service was hands down amazing (5 stars) The atmosphere on the other hand was horrible. (1 star) Chandra proceeded and most likely is still yelling at those poor older ladies, while they are all trying their best to do as much as they can. FUCK YOU CHANDRA. Truly the scum of the earth. Those amazing ladies deserve way better than you. read more

Food was very good and fast. Seems like all the locals eat there. Service was above and beyond. We eat dinner and breakfast the next morning. read more

Down Home Diner is one of those "simple eats" kind of place you'd expect to find at a local truck stop. That's not necessarily a bad thing, it's just something you need to expect when you get there. Some folks in Cheyenne eat here all the time, while others stay away just because it's not the best location in town, across from the railroad tracks and off the main exits for I-80 and I-25. Certainly not the best corner of town. But, I've eaten here for both breakfast and lunch. Breakfast Burrito is hearty and tasty, more than filling to get you going in the morning. The Burger & Fries were solidly satisfying, but nothing special. The place could use a little sprucing up, but it's still comfortable and convenient enough to make up for its shortfalls in decor. Hey, it's a truck stop cafe, so don't expect more than you should. Overall, this is a place where you'll swing off the Interstate to get a square meal, decent service and you're on your way. But, you'll be filled! read more

Down Home Diner rocked my wife's birthday vibe--though no epic birthday perks! Food slayed: my juicy burger, her killer Reuben, and kids' crispy chicken tenders hit the spot. Packed house on a Monday, vibes hinted at a short-staff crew hustling hard. Super affordable, and our waitress brought mad charm. Total win! read more

The restaurant sits alongside the railroad yard, which is a nonstop show. Some of the graffitied cars were works of art. Very entertaining. The servers were all welcoming and cheering. As I arrived not far from closing time, they repeatedly reassured me that although they were stacking the chairs and mopping the floor, I should not feel rushed. My liver and onions were okay, but a bit dry. Sliced too thin. The beef soup was very good. read more

We enjoyed a wonderful breakfast! The coffee as amazing and service was quick. The ambiance was nice, not too loud for a Sunday morning.

Almost missed this little hole in the wall dinner attached to the Sinclair gas station but I'm very glad I didnt the food was steller and the waitress was very friendly and helpful I left feeling full and like family very glad I got this experience, I recommend it to others passing thru read more

My husband and I were looking for a new place to try so we went here for dinner. I had the chicken strip dinner with fries and mac & cheese. The chicken wasn't real chicken, you could tell it was processed by the taste. The fries were so incredibly greasy, they were soggy! And the mac & cheese was instant. It looked like it had been sitting out for a while and reheated. It tasted dry. If I wanted instant mac & cheese from a box I could've made it at home! My husband's roast beef sandwich had so much fat on it that he had to cut most of it off! All in all, our food was terrible and we will not be back. read more

My wife and I were on a road trip our to Wa st on Friday morning Aug 13th 2021. We both had cheese lover omelette. Man these were amazing! Hot melted cheese, so amazing! We thought this was a great find. We went as far as to tell friends in Wa state what an amazing place we found in little Cheyenne WYOMING. Fast forward a couple weeks and we are headed home and we find ourselves here again on a Friday morning. Seriously this can not be the same diner. The very same meals were not hot, the cheese was not melted, and the staff was over worked. For a business like this to be over the top successful, you need to be consistent. I was going to give this place a solid 4 as I love the home town feel. I'm sorry but this place really needs to find it's consistently. Note the staff waiting tables are amazing. Thanks for reading my ramblings- Sepi read more

Ordered veggie skillet french toast sourdough toast grits and oatmeal. Nice place. Nice location. Went in at 510am and a handful of people were eating. Hours 5am-9pm. Waitress was really sweet. Everyone inside were friendly, even the customers, some were regulars you could tell. Food came out in 12mins. I heard someone calling in for takeout. Portions were cool. Definitely coming back for the grits and oatmeal. This place gets busy by the way! People are working hard, tip what you want to be tipped guys! The skillet was ok. The french toast is white bread, its ok. The sourdough toast was good! Place was clean. Price good. Quality is ok. Not getting the french toast again though haha. Best experience really bc of the waitress. She was really sweet and had conversation. She was an older lady with a tatt on her left ankle, slim lady. read more

We met some friends for breakfast here. I ordered the chicken fried steak based on reviews and it was good. My hubby ordered the corned beef hash and used his 2 sides to make biscuits and gravy. The corned beef hash serving was small compared to other entrees and he's used to his gravy which has a lot more meat. We were still full later and had a very light lunch. I was most impressed by the waitress who carried 4 plates in one hand plus another few plates up her arm ... that's some mad skillz (with a z, 'cause she's so cool). WOOT! read more

Great service; it's self seating so if your anal about your placement from the door or what have you great idea; best biscuits and gravy I've bought in a long time; pancakes come with real butter (like ingredients milk salt) and fret blueberries so they weren't super sweet witch was nice. read more

Just a nice, small diner really close to I-80. The breakfast is simple, but tasty. Portions aren't huge but they are enough to fill you up. Got a breakfast skillet for $10. The coffee is very fresh and good black but they also offer creamer. Staff is very friendly. read more

We love this hole in the wall old fashion truck stop style restaurant in Cheyenne. I usually get their burger unless I'm having breakfast there. My wife loves their liver and onions meal. Service is always good. Eating here is like stepping back in time several decades. We do love the place and I recommend you give it a try. read more

Wow, has it gone down hill. I had a sleep study, so was up early the next morning, and there aren't a lot of places open at 6. My wife is on diets off-on, so we have pretty much quit going out for breakfast in recent years... but I needed food. I figured it was down to Pennys, Sharis, or Down Home... I used to be in a couple times a month, so I figured I'd go back here. I grabbed a booth and ordered 2 eggs over medium, bacon, hash browns, a biscuit and a side of gravy. The eggs where good, and cooked to medium. From there things got worse. The bacon was so thin you could literally see through it. The hash brown were cold on the inside and almost crisp on the outside. The biscuits were small and looked packaged, not the way I remembered them at all. The gravy was the biggest disappointment... it had no flavor at all. No sausage taste, no sage, no pepper just bland nothingness. To cap it all off? Someone that I assume was the manager sat in the booth behind me and bitched and complained the whole time... another Cheyenne restaurant crashed and burned. read more

Not bad. Better than I thought it would be. Mostly older folks but fresh, well cooked food. Chicken friend steak excellent and the chicken salad had chicken strips actually warm and cut from a chicken. Not cold plastic container stuff. Waitstaff friendly and fast. read more

We needed good food fast. With a two year old in tow, we arrived, and we're greeted by a lovely server didn't mind all of our questions about the town. Food came out hot and delicious in less than 15 minutes. The kids breakfast meal is a steel. I thought of the prices are very reasonable and I really enjoyed my patty melt. The ambience was that of a local diner. We chatted with a couple more locals. I was very skeptical with it being connected to the gas station, but it turned out to exceeded my expectations and I would stop here again when we come through. read more

Close to our hotel. Good home style cooking. Reasonable prices. Quick, friendly service. Great fries and onion rings. Meal was hot. Very reasonably priced. Breakfast served all day. Several specials. Camion, the server was very friendly and efficient. Worth a stop! read more

This place could be lifted from a movie set. It is so traditional looking, and nostalgic that I wdnt be surprised if the head waitress name is Flo! It was convenient and timely right next door to my hotel, I went there for breakfast and everyone was so nice. The truck stop guys were there, so were the locals. Seriously, it could be direct casting. Anyway, the food was good and reasonably priced. I went back for dinner too. Great job both times!! read more

Ok, so I like trying home cooked places rather than chain restaurants. This one did not meet up to my expectations completely but I wouldn't write it off as a no go. First you walk in and the floors were filthy as well as most of the tables. When they cleaned the tables, it was a quick wipe down missing lots of spots and reusing the same rag over and over without rinsing or cleaning the rag. It was pretty much spreading the grime from one table to another. The food. We ordered the Chili burger and fish and chips with coleslaw. The chili is actually chili' Mexican style not chilli beans. The burger was cooked perfectly as was the chili. The fries tasted like fresh cut potatoes and the fish was like most fried fish places. I loved it. The coleslaw came late and was ok. Tasted like it was premade. The Tea was great so if you're thirsty, water or tea is the best here. read more

Was staying in a nearby hotel and decided to try this place. Great service, large proportions, tasty food and good prices.

Dosent look like much driving by and don't let the attached gas station fool you, this spot has good food great people and hot coffee! Quaint feeling and a good spot to start the day! read more

We had been traveling all day and just wanted something quick. Down Home was near or hotel. It was Easter, so lots of places were closed. They serve breakfast all day, so we opted for biscuits and gravy. So good. The gravy was flavorful, the biscuits were tender and fluffy. There are two biscuits on the plate and it had just the right amount of gravy. Not a lot of ambiance, but the food was hot, fast, and good. read more

Checked out of a hotel at about 5am to travel the next leg of a road trip, the desk clerk said she always forgets about this diner but it is good. So, they opened earliest, we parked outside to wait for opening. As soon as the doors were unlocked, all kinds of truck doors in the parking lot opened. We hadn't realized that many trucks were occupied in the lot. You know you hit a good place when there are "old guys" waiting outside like that. Even better, the waitress had their coffees at their usual tables waiting, and greeted them all by name! Prices were great, portions were generous and everyone was so nice, do yourself a favor and get up before sunrise to have breakfast at Down Home! read more

Good home style food. The service great (attentiveness from the waitresses). Although, you may have to wait for your food for a bit if it's super busy. I'm assuming this is due to the kitchen size/staffing. Clean space as well. read more

This place is your typically average diner. The food is as expected. You get good food served hot and the service is good also. I had breakfast and it was good and the coffee was hot. read more

Down Home Diner - Farmers Omelette with hash browns and sausage gravy on the side. - Diners Near Me - Cheyenne, Wyoming

My boyfriend and I had been moving from Colorado to Nebraska the last two days. We have always enjoyed this place and had exceptional service and food on Mothers Day. So we stopped. Exhausted and ready to have some coffee and a nice dinner. The atmosphere is exactly what we look for to have a nice quiet meal and usually morning coffee. Unfortunately, It is the first time we had the worst service imaginable. After sitting we were handed menus. Then were ignored for 10 min before our server Angel came and asked what we wanted to eat. My boyfriend had noted that another server who was leaving for the evening pointed out to our sever that we had not been helped. Prior to that we weren't asked if we wanted anything to drink. We were never offered refills for our coffee or water at any time. We couldn't get our server to even look at us to ask for anything. After we received our meal and ate, we were never given a check for our bill, we had to go ask another server for it. We weren't offered to go boxes for the food we didn't finish, again we had to ask another server. The food was good an i recommend the food but get up and move to any other service area that Angel is not serving. Her behavior made our experience there awful and I hope her manager reads this review. She should not be allowed to work in food service. read more

The only reason I stopped here because the I-80 closed and I needed a place to park. But I'm glad I did because I had a pretty good breakfast here. I ordered the ham & cheese omelet with an English muffin and and the 3 small pancakes. Now I will say this it was nothing special. But it was good food, except for the cheddar cheese on the omelet. I would prefer American. The reason for 4 stars is because the restroom was small and could use some attention. read more

We like to visit local restaurants when we travel. The food was wonderful and the service great. Get there early by lunch there was a line!

I ordered the country fried steak, food was still steaming when I got it. the portions here are epically big, they brought out 3 plates for my 1 order. great pricing too read more

Would love if they dolled up the place a little, but the appearance just seems like one of those old run-down diners which hooks onto a gas station. The staffed seemed nice enough and were very much on their toes when serving all the customers. We ordered the Cheesy Toast which was a toasted cheese sandwich on Texas toast along with a side of your choice. This was the wife's choice - I tried it and was pretty damn good! I had the meatloaf, however they had a special on the night we went were there which came with all you can eat meatloaf. It wasn't too bad but didn't go over the top with getting more. We also got some pie - she got cherry where I got the classic Apple. They were nice, however they didn't come out standard with ice cream or whipped cream which was fairly disappointing. read more

Had to come all the way from Pennsylvania for my husband to have the best Philly cheesesteak and homemade fries he's ever eaten. I had the Country fried Steak and it was delicious. Our server was a great girl, and the manager was phenomenal, while handling a ridiculous, unruly customer who put up a fuss to get a free meal. We were happy to pay for ours. Delicious. read more

Never had any problem with the service. And the food is generally good here. But they had problems today. Went and sat at the counter. Some older guy came to give the menu and ask my drink. In just a minute he was there with my coffee and already expected me to know what I wanted. Gimme a few minutes please. It was like maybe 15 minutes he finally came back. Ordered the country skillet with mushrooms please. Waited for at least twice as long that it should have taken to get this done. And yet after all that time it was only lukewarm. The skillet was supposed to have sausage in it. I guess it did was so minced into teeny tiny pieces you couldn't tell it was there. Come on man. And then only 3 little slivers of mushrooms in the whole thing. Seriously? I mean come on man! I've been here a few times in the past and never had such ridiculous problems. So hopefully they do better the next time I come in. I don't want to have to cross another one off the list. read more

Service was great, waitress was polite and attentive. The food is so so . The quality of the ingredients seems on the lower side of things . I had the country fried steak , it was cooked well but really just adequate taste wise , not a fan of instant mashed potatoes. read more
