    A very short jaunt off I 80 in the Elk Mountain Trading Post is a must stop, not just for the amazing food (definitely get a burger) but for the generous hospitality and history - it's housed in an incredibly old building. Also a museum next door. Highly recommend visiting this beautiful town of 150 residents.

    One of the better burgers I've had in my life...and I eat about 4 burgers a week. Just make sure you tell them medium rare if you like some pink inside! My friend ordered the double bacon cheeseburger and it's a monster. Simple Wyoming interior and definitely nothing fancy...the way we like it. They only take cash or checks!

    Great burgers and the Cowboy BLT with Green Chile's was fantastic. Quaint and a must if you are in the area.

    J's Prairie Rose Café in Laramie is a must stop for locals and travelers alike. I think Yelp &…read moreNextdoor drive the business here underneath it all. Lots of travelers find it on Yelp and lots of locals deem it a Nextdoor favorite. The place is bustling on a random Monday filled with people the servers know by name and with those they dutifully seat and meet. We were the latter. Our server was friendly. The place is not a diner by east coast standards but instead a small storefront containing a restaurant. It has a room in front and one in back. With the kitchen and bathrooms in between. The difference here is the food! It is 5 Star Midwest type fair here. Good portions and reasonable prices. Oh my! This place had such good food. It easily was the best meal I ate in a week. We sat down already knowing Guy Fieri ate here but didn't know much else. Somehow through pure chance we ordered the three dishes that are the locals favs as we noticed on a card at the table after ordering. The breakfast burrito was the bomb. Yes, you should order it! The eggs with crispy hash browns inside and your choice of meat, I did bacon, was so tasty with the green chili poured over it. It was plate licking good. The 7220 burrito was also a fave with the pork and the same green chili sauce. The chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and gravy was also so tasty. We didn't stop there because we heard about homemade pie and homemade cinnamon rolls. The cinnamon roll was medium sized with home made icing and lots of cinnamon so decadent. The pies we had, peach & strawberry rhubarb, had flaky buttery crusts and full of fruit. One we did as is and one ala mode with a hearty portion of vanilla ice cream. Sooooo good!

    My favorite meal at my new favorite spot! A true western diner with Wyoming hospitality! Very very…read morebusy, and I was impressed with the speed at which we were seated. With all the hubbub, it was amazingly quiet. Everyone was talking and enjoying their meals, yet we had no problems hearing each other. The coffee gal had our coffees to us asap, with water, and kept them full the entire meal. Our waitress, Keeley greeted us with a warm smile and friendly demeanor. And before we knew it, our meals were served up hot and oh so scrumptious! I definitely recommend - it's worth the 5-10 minute wait! You won't be disappointed! Be sure to bring a to go container for your leftovers - they use styrofoam
