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!

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

The coffee drinks we ordered were outstanding. My 16 oz Latte was rich and smooth. Delicious . My son's Americano was made with added cream. So refreshing to not be told "the cream is over there you can add it yourself ". We both ordered wraps which were served hot and fresh. There were plenty of tables and we chose one next to the fireplace. The cafe is decorated with care and held so much character. A mix of 80/90s Music was playing in the background. I can see why I saw a few customers making themselves at home with their books and computers. Appeared to be camped out for a while . They had a self service water station with extra napkins and coffee condiments. Newspapers and reading material were in an old fashion holder near the fireplace. This is the perfect place to decompress and relax. We met a doggy too Owners told us their dog walks them there every day to get his treat. This pup was just beaming. Water dish out front for their 4 legged friends. Noticed several customers picking up to go orders so if you're on the run you can order in advance. Hope to return again I pretty much know my son will be going back often. Highly recommend.

The guacamole was just mashed avocado--someone forgot the seasoning. The Hodgepodge Salad with Craisins had a disproportionate amount of berries and onions. I'd go back for the drinks and bakery, but you may have to try a few forgettable salads and sandwiches before you find some tasty ones.

Based on the strong reviews we decided to give Niko Sushi & Steak a try. We arrived Monday around…read more6pm. We were seated immediately and the place was bustling. 2 sushi chefs and I saw maybe 2 cooks in the back. Our waitress promptly took our order. I ordered a specialty roll and my son ordered the salmon nigiri . I also ordered hot green tea. Rolls came out pretty quick. However my roll was loosely pressed and the Tuna was incomplete with sear, it seared oddly. Coloring and consistency was off. Like an opalescent grey. See pic. It did not look appetizing to me. I ate it and it was tasty but again the rice was not compressed enough to give you a satisfying bite. The salmon nigiri rolls were good Also I didn't care for the presentation. The two orders should have been separated but were plated on the same plate . The miso soup was 10 stars. Delicious and a rich flavor Tofu pieces were semi firm My salmon combo dish was just okay. Salmon was dry and a bit fishy , however once dipped in the sauces it was good . The sauces were its saving grace. The veggies were well seasoned and a variety given. The rice was dry and didn't have a fresh steamed flavor or consistency We always have steamed rice at home and this just didn't have a fresh flavor or consistency. Salad was fresh, crisp and the ginger dressing was yummy. Weird Note regarding service. Once we appeared finished with our rolls (I left 1/3 of the speciality roll ) our waitress asked if we were ready for the check and if she could bring us a box . We reminded her of our main entrees we ordered and she was very apologetic and said she would check on them . Hot green tea was served in an iron tea pot. I'm thinking this was just an off night for them as the place was busy with to-go customers and other diners happily eating
