    Easy going atmosphere, great staff. But, it's the truly outstanding food that's the reason we love it here!

    Absolutely an amazing place in downtown Lander! Service was great, place was clean and the food was great, along with the coffee. I had the Country Fried Steak and it tasted just fine along with the Steamed Spinach. WOW! When in the area, this is a must stop.

    This is an exemplary piece of artwork. Patio Open during the summer months. My dog loved it as much as me.

    This place is amazing. 10 out of 10 stars. Eggs Benedict for lunch!! (i'm not a morning person so I'll love that they serve breakfast until 2pm) They have both the classic and one with lobster and I'm telling you the classic classic is the best I've ever had. So inviting and friendly. Brought my dog and she loved it. We went twice. The second time I ordered a lunch meal, but I kind of wish I would've ordered eggs Benedict because you can get breakfast all day. And they remembered my dog.!!

    Eggs Benedict half order and without tomatoes.

    We were in Wyoming for baseball and looked up this place, there's not a whole bunch of places in this small town but this place looked good!! I love eggs Benedict and since I can't make them at home, I like to get them out places. These ones were a little different they come with spinach and tomatoes and a tarragon béarnaise sauce. It definitely gave it a little different taste than regular hollandaise sauce. I ordered it without tomatoes and a half order because I wasn't super hungry. If you like eggs Benedict and want to try a little different twist on it I'd get it. The potatoes were perfectly crispy too!! I don't like soggy potatoes or fries!! The service was nothing special but she was nice. They did say they had one cook so it was taking long which I always appreciate when they communicate plus I was in no hurry. We sat outside on their back porch and it was cute, with a little creek running through it!!! Pretty decent place in small town Wyoming.

    Great lunch/brunch spot!! We had the shakshuka and the chicken katsu sandwhich. They were both delicious! Very nice old cafe vibes and friendly service.

    After some 10+ days of hiking, peak bagging, rock climbing, roadtripping, and eating and drinking our way through Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota, and North Dakota I can say... The Middle Fork was my favorite foodery of the whole dang trip! (and Lander my favorite town, but that's for another time) The first time we came the food was amazing, but the staff were definitely under-staffed and over-whelmed. The coffee refills were sparse. I'm glad we came back a second time, on a less busy (week) day and experienced stellar service! Maybe it's just because I live in Alaska, but I found the prices to be CHEAP and the quality to be HIGH! Everything was unique and lovingly made with local ingredients. When the food came out, everything was thoughtfully plated and gorgeous! This place makes me want to move to Lander. It's that good.

    Dog friendly outdoor seating area.

    This was so worth the stop on my road trip for a relaxing and delicious lunch. The staff were welcoming and friendly of both me and my dog. I had good service and an incredible stake sandwich with tomato soup. Both I would get again. The outdoor patio area is lovely with a babbling brook running through it. I totally recommend!

    The scallops were great (i hate to say surprisingly, but you really wouldn't expect both good…read morequality scallops, and them being well-prepared, in Wyoming)! What was even better was the ambiance, however! There was a performer playing, which you could hear well from the patio, which itself wasn't crowded, but which gave the feeling of being amongst the show-going crowd while being partitioned off. The patio's also dog friendly (albeit a little narrow).

    So, an earlish dinner with my mom here on a weekday. Lovely space on the positive…read more I ordered us the crispy Brussel sprouts as a starter. I wasn't too happy when I saw it. Sloshed to one side of plate (which I'm sure is what happened). $14+ for this appetizer and we got three Brussel sprouts, guessing half the app fell off before service . Underwhelming. I mentioned this to server and she said she would check with kitchen. Mom got the wedge, which she loved. I went for meatloaf and my mom went for ribeye steak as mains. My meatloaf was okay. I did like the ancho chili glaze, tasty! My mom's expensive ribeye was badly overcooked. She ordered medium rare and got medium well on the well side. She simply ate a little and took the rest home for the dog. Expensive dogfood. Service was slow and after I asked about Brussel sprouts, pretty invisible. Never got an answer on them. We left before dessert and just got ourselves ice cream cones at corner instead. Our $12 spent there at I scream was best culinary investment of the night. Overall, no excuses for slow or absent service on weeknight early. App was either half on floor or messy and WAY overpriced for three sprouts. Steak was cooked badly. I would not repeat this expensive experiment. We spend a couple weeks near Lander each summer. Sure liked its food scene better when it was just a cowtown. The California influence hasn't improved it

    $12.13 (food - bakery grilled cheese. drink - water) Lincoln Street Bakery monologue:…read more A bakery with a variety of options always gets my attention. At this bakery, you can choose from sweets to salads, to coffee to wine, and everything in between. On this particular day, I decided on a childhood favorite - grilled cheese. But this was the grown up version, that I had twice. Yes, that is how much I enjoyed it. If you love bread, love cheese, love pesto and tomatoes, well put that all together and you'll completely dive into the bakery grilled cheese. Put your phone down, grab some napkins and indulge. P.S. - I've been to this bakery several times. Over the course of my visits, I ordered 2 salads, bought a cookie and had 2 flavored lattes.

    Unreliable operation, poor customer service and high prices for non existing menu…read more Several times stopped by during their listed opening hours, finding their business to be closed. Last time visited, at 10am and 3/4 of their menu wasn't available, which defeats the purpose of a menu ! We made a mistake to stay and order some soup, which we received cold, because they forgot to let us know that it is ready to be picked up. The soup was absolutely watered down and tasteless, the bread was stale. Why even to run a business without reliable operating hours, lack of availability, poor food quality and non existing customer service ?!
