    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!

    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

    This place was rated well, and we were looking for a good breakfast place. It didn't disappoint…read moreus, even though they were busy. It was featured on Diner's Drive-ins and Dives with a plaque and wall art to confirm. We got a table quickly and the service was attentive and fast despite that they were busy. They offered mimosas and bloody Mary's to complete the breakfast experience which we chose to partake. My husband got the smothered breakfast burrito and said it was very tasty. I chose to the Prairie Rose Omelet with hash browns and sourdough toast. I loved the omelet which was fluffy and flavorful. The sourdough toast was very good as well, toasted perfect and many jams to choose from on the table. They had famous sweet rolls that sell out quickly, so I took one to go just to make sure I tried one. It was very good, even the next day. The low point was the overcooked crunchy hash browns that didn't add much to the meal and I didn't eat them all. I would definitely recommend this place if your looking for a super breakfast.
