We stopped here for brunch on our way home from Yellowstone National Park. My wife looked them up on a new app called Find Me Gluten Free, since she has Celiac we have to be careful where we pick to eat out at restaurants. We were not disappointed. This restaurant only serves breakfast and brunch so you need to get there before they close at 2 p.m. We waited a few moments to be seated, and were greeted politely by the female server. She sat us down at a table near the back. They were a little busy, so in just under 10 minutes we were approached again to order our drinks, I had an endless cup of coffee for $1.75 which is a real bargain in today's world. The waitress adeptly explained to my wife which gluten free options were available to her on the menu, and it was apparent that the waitress knew the menu quite well. She ordered chorizo scramble over home fried potatoes with a spicy, red pepper sauce. I ordered the corned beef hash, which was prepared with rosemary oil,a single perfect Sunny side up egg on top, grilled garden tomatoes, and a side of crunchy buttered wheat toast. My 6 year old son had gemelli noodles with butter and cheese, and a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice. The kid's menu included a children's coloring sheet which included the food pyramid and a generous supply of crayons in a coffee cup. I was raised in New Jersey and have a long history of eating corned beef hash at diners all around the state. This was, quite possibly, the best corned beef hash I've ever eaten in my entire life. It was a fantastic brunch experience, and left us fully revived and ready to tackle the road driving back to Kansas City. Check them out you won't be disappointed. read more

Another favorite in a town I only make it to twice a summer. After rolling out of the mountains and famished for some non-camping food, the Middle Fork is always a welcome breakfast treat. We had the corn beef hash and huevos rojo and both were delicious. I particularly liked the rosemary oil in the hash, it gave it a unique flavor that most hash is lacking. I also am a big fan of the lemon thyme berry jam. The outdoor patio is nice although the inside is warm and welcoming and has a lovely fresh morning ambiance. read more

The food was quite good. I had the bacon and eggs, both of which were very good. The potatoes were excellent. My daughter had a cinnamon roll with orange glaze. Service could improve, two tables came in after U.S. And their orders were taken before we had water. Good breakfast option in a city with not many. read more

Stopped here for lunch/brunch on the way back from Yellowstone. I got the Reuben on GF bread along with a cup of tomato basil soup. Hubby got the ham, sausage and cheese omelet with fried potatoes. Everything, even my Arnold Palmer, was delicious and fresh. Would definitely stop there again. read more

We loooooved this restaurant. Five other CDT hikers and myself have been to this restaurant twice in our two days in town. Our server, Jamie, was incredibly funny, kind, and attentive and she's our favorite server so far on our trek from Canada. The food was great too, but what stuck with me was Jamie being so nice to us after coming in straight from the backcountry, dirty as heck, and ordering multiple entrees and special orders. I highly recommend this place! read more

Motivated owner/chef that strives to make delicious food while offering best service a place I love to recommend to folks visiting or traveling through the town, not a regulair mom-pop diner but haute cuisine with an original and artistic twist. Changes in menu frequently occur since the owner/chef loves to try new things out. Vegetarian meals are available, gluten free, great salads but also wonderful "traditional" meals that have their own flair. The atmosphere is great with it's high ceilings and wooden floors in a historical building, the outside terrace is also a nice spot with a little creek running through it. Local artists are encouraged to showcase their beautiful pieces in this wonderful place, meaning every 1-2 months the environment has a metamorphises which keeps the inside look refreshing. read more

Great food and atmosphere. Went for the eggs benedict and instantly loved it. Recommend anytime you want really good food.

Favorite breakfast place in town! Biscuits & Gravy are awesome. Pancakes are great too! The corned beef hash is good, although nothing special. They serve Speed Goat Coffee which is locally roasted and delicious! read more

Excellent breakfast or brunch place. The middle fork huevos and country fried steak are excellent.

The lunch quiche - light, fluffy, perfectly cheesy, the crust flaky and buttery. Delicious. Tortilla soup - hot. Creamy. Just the right amount of spice. Complex flavor. Enjoy it by itself. French press coffee - rich. Powerful. Fresh. The food was wonderful, the service attentive and friendly. I arrived just before lunch service began so I waited about 35 min for my food, but it was well worth the wait. read more

Fantastic breakfast and lunch offerings. I am in town briefly and normally I'd prefer to try multiple places, but after my lunch here yesterday I desired to try them for breakfast before I leave. They don't forego any opportunity to add flavor and freshness. Timeless staples such as eggs Benedict are enhanced with fresh herbs in the sauce and garden greens on the muffin. I also appreciate that they offer espresso bar beverages, it enhances the quality breakfast and brunch food and brings it up a notch from your standard diner. read more

We had a great breakfast here. Eggs Benedict was good and Hubs liked his pancakes. We would eat here again.

The place to go for wonderful brunch as well as tips on where to hike and camp near Lander.

Bloody Mary's were excellent! If you want full breakfast menu, come before 11am. Limited to egg sandwich, etc. Staff was friendly & outdoor patio is nice with water running through read more

If dining and ambience is what you're looking for, look no further than the Middle Fork. Yaaaas, if you are like myself, rezzy AF, you may be partial to simplicity. In the spirit of my rezzed out ways, I ordered the burger with the fixings on the side. However, I found myself putting the toppings back on throughout the meal and was pleasantly surprised by the savory nature of the flavor complimented by the subtle stroll through flavortown offered by the goat chèvre. I sampled the steak, which was tender and juicy, uniquely kissed by the ancho rub, accented with roasted potatoes. I'm not a fan of mushrooms, however, a slice to top the steak gave it just enough extra to take it home and remind you of why steak is still king. Though I shall confess, nothing tasted more impressive than the final small piece of steak I had to sample than being topped with some good ol ketchup. I'm country that way, and shoot me if you must, but the important thing is when I was finished, I was happy, full, and driven to tell the world about this gem which I consider to be Fremont County's best kept secret. Stop in and support this local business. You won't be disappointed. read more

Absolutely the only negative aspect of visiting this place, is that it meant that my cross country quest for the ultimate biscuits & gravy, with real corned beef hash has ended! Excellent meal - excellent service, even during the post-eclipse crush read more

We found this charming place on our way to Denver from Yellowstone Park. Lander, Wyoming has a lovely downtown and the Middle Fork is right in the middle of the 4-5 block stretch in a charming historic building. We enjoyed having lunch out on the side patio built along a bubbling mountain creek. My husband had the grilled cheese and fries with the restaurant's unique "fry sauce" - a combination of homemade aoli and ketchup. I had the Quiche Lorraine - a thick slice on flaky crust filled with gooey Swiss cheese and loaded with fresh spinach, ham, and bits of bacon along with a crisp green salad and the restaurant's homemade buttermilk dressing - in fact, all their dressings are homemade - try the anchovy-Cesar dressing. The service was excellent - our waitress was a friendly hometown gal with long family ties to the town. Give it a try instead of fast food - totally worth it! read more

Landers local breakfast joint and they know how to get you going. Their food is local and the flavor comes out really well. Not a better way to start your day in Lander then this place. read more

I love the Three Grain Brulee (oats). It is delicious. My husband ordered the Eggs Benedict and said it was superb (I'm not an egg person). The hash browns - YUM! The service is great, the juice is fresh squeezed (juiced maybe?) and tastes fantastic. This is one of the places you must try if you're going to stay in Lander. read more

Wonderful outdoor eating area with creek running through. Healthful and yummy alternative to usual small town faire. read more

I was suggested by a friend to come to this place to have breakfast because she says the food here is "yum". But actually it's way beyond that! The food here is absolutely amazing! I had the country steak that they had for brunch, and it's nothing like Danny's or IHop', it's satisfying when I had my first bite! Not to mention that they also have those delicious home made gravy and sauce for the steak and potatoes! It's my absolutely favorite breakfast place for now! Loved everything about it! read more

Very mice setting and charming patio. settings. Went after checking good reviews, for brunch on Sunday at noon. Nice menu and food was good but extremely slow service. It took them 45 min to bring our food. When asked, after 30 minutes, they responded in a strong tone they were extremely busy, which is ok and I understand. But I think they should warn customers upon arrival that kitchen is running slow, give an estimate timing, and let us decide if we want to stay or go somewhere else. All other tables around were experiencing same delay. read more

5 stars! Biscuits and gravy a must... half order. Pancake breakfast is money also! Comes with eggs, pancakes, bacon. Service here awesome- like 8 daughters running around helping customers. Short wait but worth it! Best breakfast place in town. Local feel!! read more

Driving through on our way to Sinks Canyon. Banana french toast, kids french toast, both amazing. Fresh squeezed orange juice was perfect. Place is clean and well kept. Staff were all excellent, and our server Sophia was the best! A+++. Stop by if you are looking for a great breakfast or brunch. read more

We happen to be passing through and decided to stop for breakfast. It was absolutely delicious. I had biscuits and gravy with an egg on top and my wife had the pancakes and bacon. The gavy had large chunks of "local" meat and was spice just right. The biscuits were large and tasty (not dried out). The pancakes were moist and large and the bacon was nice and thick and meaty. The restaurant was a great find! read more

Yum! We stopped on the way through from Yellowstone, heading home to Colorado. What a nice surprise! This quaint restaurant has a great atmosphere, lovey outdoor seating, and delicious home-cooked food. I ordered the Deli Sammy with a side salad. The local bacon was thick and some of the best I've ever eaten. I also loved the dill aioli and the homemade dressing choices (I went with the tarragon vinaigrette). Our waitress Ella was very personable and attentive. If we ever come back through, we will definitely be stopping! read more

Amazing breaky selection. Outdoor patio is a must in the summer.

This is a must eat location, everything we had was superb. The eggs Benedict was incredible as was the coconut cream French toast was some of the best I've ever had. Not to mention the staff was friendly and the prices great read more

This is just about the best place I have ever had breakfast. We make a point to visit every time we are in Lander.

Fun and delicious little stop in Lander. I go through Lander quite often as it's on the way to and from my parents' place. This place is great! Lots of breakfasts, sandwich items, and many other dishes. I've had the chicken salad sandwich, a steak sandwich, and also the chicken fried steak. All were great! They also make their own fries, sauces, and salad dressing. I like that they offer several side options such as salad and veggies. Great food and service! Cafe is really cute, and has an outdoor eating area this is beautiful. They serve several beers, plus mimosas that have homemade orange juice! read more

FYI on weekdays they don't serve breakfast after 11. We only stopped here hoping for breakfast so a bit disappointed. Service was fairly slow...food was pretty good with the exception of the kids chicken bites, which were inedible. Monte Christo was yummy. Outside seating was nice. read more

Food was cold. Probably tasted ok but was hard to swallow cold eggs and potatoes. 4 plates and all were cold. We informed the server but all she did was say she would tell the cook. We were not offered a discount or anything to make it right. It was also pretty pricey. I believe my juevos came with one egg and the salsa tasted store bought for about 10$. I won't go back. read more

We really enjoyed this town and the breakfast we had here. Very charming environment and fresh, delicious food. Would definitely go here again. read more

Good food. Good service. Menu is dated. After 5 years, needs updating. As in new options.

The Middle Fork is my favorite lunch spot in Lander. I love their gluten free selection and the service is always good. Today, however, I was disappointed. The staff were wearing their masks around their chins while serving customers. What's the point? Also, the lettuce served on one of our party's salad was wilted and had to be returned. Bottom line is, the Middle Fork is a great lunch spot and the food is truly wonderful, but management needs to talk to staff about COVID protocols (mask wearing) and more quality control as far as what food goes out. read more

Always great food. Service is fantastic as well. The place gets a little crowded sometimes but well worth the wait. Go now! read more

Delightfully surprised by the menu options and the food quality. If I lived here, I'd frequent this spot for sure. The coffee was delicious, the sourdough pancakes were fluffy and fragrant and so good, and I know plantains in the Rockies is not a local food, but had to have the gallo pinto so I could enjoy them anyhow. And of course, no five star review exists without the exceptional hospitality of the folks turning the gears. Definitely stop here if you get the chance. read more

We made this a breakfast stop on our way west. It was a busy morning but everyone was pleasant and the staff kept things running smoothly. My travel companion had a traditional breakfast of biscuits and gravy that were wonderful! I couldn't decide and asked the waitress what she would have and she recommended Gallo Pinto. It was an excellent choice! If we are ever back in the area we will definitely stop by again. read more

Unexpected great little place. More upscale options than anticipated, not the place to go if you're looking for a normal French toast breakfast. I had the huevos rancheros burrito minus the tortilla and my friend had the hash. Hash was a little bland and the huevos were delicious. Would definitely go again, medium portions of food so definitely order a side if you're extra hungry. Orange juice was delicious and tasted super fresh. Cute and clean, great options for food sensitivities, vegan/veg. read more
