This place was very welcoming from start to finish, the lady seated us. Let my daughter pick out a coloring book of her choice and then the waiter was very attentive, helpful, and friendly, he even offered us coffee to go. The corn beef was fantastic with real meat in it. Everything was great. They were slammed busy but everything came out hot fresh and ready. It was a great experience. read more

Reading some of the reviews I can tell they have not been there lately. I was greeted by a very sweet lady serve was great. I enjoyed the art and the hot beef I had was melt in your mouth. Try this out . I got there right before closing but was served with a smile. read more

Since the move, and expansion, service is terrible, slow getting good, not hot and fresh anymore..need waiters not to walk out, 5/19/2026 in the morning shift...​keep coffee flowing and use carafes.. read more

Everything was Ok. I'd maybe go back but 2 stars for serving food at different times and inedible meal. Everyone got food while I waited another 10 min for my steak Benedict. Get the steak bene and one side had a single bite of steak(really good but only one bite) Stoked to eat the other half and the second steak was maybe 3 bites that was ALL gristle and inedible. I couldn't even cut it to eat it. The fact that they didn't offer to remake my meal or at least refund me is wrong. $18 for a single bite. The guy that owns the place was super nice and made some awesome pies but sucky experience glad we don't live here read more

The service was pretty good. The food was also pretty good and we were given great portions. The atmosphere and decor was kind of bland and looked low budget to me though. Oh yeah, and what is with the water cups? They were like, comically tiny. Like hobbit-sized. But hey, our bellies were happy. Check this place out if you're in town. read more

Food was outstanding. Service was friendly, fast, and extremely accommodating! Love the diner feel. All in all, I would highly recommend! Prices very reasonable, and portions large. Mom devoured her fries that came with an amazing chicken club sandwich. I had the hungry man breakfast. She mistakenly brought out sourdough toast but then sent out the gigantic' dollar-size' pancakes as well. Ate those without syrup because they were too flavorful to ruin with syrup. The meats are fresh and of HIGH quality. Just delicious. read more

Delicious traditional diner food. Unpretentious, cozy, friendly waitstaff, and fair prices to boot!

No hairnets in the kitchen, employees going from mopping the floor to handling food without washing hands. Used to be a decent restaurant so I didn't know if ownership or management changed. Too bad. read more

By far the best food and service around. Roxy was the most attentive and friendly waitress I have ever had. I 100% recommend eating in this establishment. read more

Mediocre service. Waited for condiments. Miniature water glass re-filled after I finished eating. Portion smaller than competitors'. I had the breakfast burrito, and would never have guessed that was green chili, except by process of elimination. Somehow they forgot the beans. I'll stick with Sherrie's Place. read more

Never been to Casper, first stop in town as we were hungry and recommended by the hotel was The Wooden Derrick. Just a friendly, restaurant with plenty of choices for breakfast and lunch all rolled up into a great local atmosphere at a very cheap price. Where else can you eat and while you are eating be offered a chance to lick the bowl from some homemade whipping creams for their cakes? Great salads, fries and home made chicken soup. read more

They will charge you a different price then what's clearly listed on the menu, happened on multiple occasions, owner will argue and deny it until you literally pull out a menu and show him. Food is ok, but very dishonest do not recommend. read more

Our dog Moreno was with us so we sat their sidewalk table. Actually this was a benefit as they were swamped inside, but we were the only ones outside. And we had excellent attention and service. Food was excellent. Highly recommended. read more

We just finished another delicious breakfast here, this place gets busy in the mornings and rightfully so, the service is great, the food delicious and the prices are reasonable! read more

I give this 5 stars because the atmosphere and service are amazing. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted in a welcoming manner. The woman who served us was kind enough to give us a deal that saved money. At no point did we feel rushed, judged or unwelcomed. I had a skillet breakfast which was average. The service makes this my top choice! read more

We stopped in this cute lil restaurant on our way back from MT to support a local family owned restaurant and we're not disappointed. I got the mushroom burger-delicious. My husband got The Derrick and also said it was awesome. Kids got chicken fingers-cooked perfect. I didn't try a piece but the carrot cake looked magical. Bathrooms were awesome with everything stocked with anything a girl could want. Stop if you can read more

Stopped here for brunch and was surprised that it was decent. Compared to other "diners," that is. Our server was EXTREMELY flustered and high strung, though. Not sure if she was trying to handle too many tables or what. Veggie skillet was pretty good, although the eggs were a little overcooked. The Derrickman and side of pancakes had great flavor. The coffee wasn't the greatest but hey, I needed caffeine, so not complaining! read more

We stopped here for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon. So glad we ate here!!! The food was fabulous! I had the chicken fried steak and my boyfriend had a huevos rancheros omelette with green chili. Service was outstanding and our food was served very quick. We also had a piece of carrot cake which I can't recommend enough! Such a great spot for breakfast and lunch. Stop in because you'll be super happy you did!!! read more

I had been here a couple times and it hadn't been to bad but.... I went there a couple weeks ago and the had a "breakfast scrambler" now when you think about that you think eggs hash browns sausage or bacon all put together into a delicious breakfast. Well not this one it had pickles hash browns mustard and tuna. Now someone out there might take a liking to this but not me. read more

Great comfort food with quick and friendly service. Diner atmosphere is very pleasant.

Delicious green chili and crispy hash browns on Huevos Rancheros. Very friendly Service. Cute location. read more

Great service and food! Had a great experience and loved it was very local with lots of laborers and seniors.

Great food with a really cool and unique atmosphere, service was top notch, the owner should be extremely proud of this place, keep up the good work! read more

My first choice for brunch was Eggington's but decided that the long wait wasn't worth it so gave this place a shot instead. Seems like a nice mom and pop restaurant with a decent selection of options. I got the veggie skillet which comes with country potatoes, peppers, onion, tomato, spinach, smothered in gravy, choice of eggs, topped with cheese. It comes with a choice of toast, homemade biscuit, english muffin, or dollar size pancakes. Got a cup of coffee as well which comes with free refills. I wish they had flavored creamers for the coffee, but not a big deal. Both the food and service was mediocre. read more

I love the Wooden Derrick. It's quickly become my family's favorite spot. I get better steak there than I do at some other steak places. It reminds you of home. It's real food real comfort. The wait staff has always been attentive and nice. They have great specials. The potato pancakes are super yummy. read more

Good food and service was great! Enjoyed the locally themed ambiance. Highly recommend!

Twice we have attempted to order food from you for lunch to be delivered. Twice it has failed. We sit here hungry and pissed. Never again. Don't bother ordering from here. read more

!st went with my family. My son order a short stack pancakes and it was two not huge pancakes for 8 bucks. Come on really? My husband had steak and eggs and the cut was rather tough and he is usually easy to please. I ordered the hitch but it really isn't that much food for 11.25 considering everywhere else in town has the same thing much cheaper. Like the hanger for 8.75! or Johnny J's like 6 bucks. They charge way to much for a glass of OJ not like it was hand squeezed. This was the second time we went the first time I went for lunch and it was terrible. Supper over cooked burger and my sons kids grilled cheese literally had one piece of cheese. It came with bacon and he doesn't eat meat much so got it with none. It was also over cooked and singed. Soooo cut my losses and figured it they sent this garbage out I don't want to even send it back. read more

We have come to really appreciate this little restaurant. Delicious options, reasonably priced, attentive and pleasant servers, and quiet. read more

BEST SKILLET I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE GOD DAMN! I got the OSHA inspection skillet and it was amazing! This a good spot and feels very welcoming inside the restaurant. Staff were busy but the kept up with the service. Will definitely be coming back when I'm in Wyoming next! read more

This was a great lunchtime meal. The portions are huge and my brother and I were happy to split a Sammy as we then had room for dessert. We finished up with the carrot cake and it hit the spot, plenty bid enough to share. Ashley was very personable and we were right at home. read more

Came in after a long road trip to try a local joint and saw the rave reviews on yelp. Yet we left with a bit underwhelming experience. Food was ok (wrap and buffalo chicken sandwich) Mostly the reason it's 3 stars because it was a bit pricey for kids lunch meals. (I should have checked the website instead of relying on yelp for old pricing on the menu photos.) 6.99 for a kid lunch meal is hard to swallow, when most kids don't even have the stomach size to finish their meals. No apples were in stock just French fries which they hardly touched. And hostess charged us for drinks when kids meals comes with a drink. I wanted to love it but left with an ok experience. read more

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!!! Stopped in here while on business for some breakfast. Great service, very friendly and excellent on coffee refills. Food was very good quality and fresh. I got the Roughneck with ham, bacon, and sausage. It came with eggs, toast, and hasbrowns. I can't have gluten so no toast for me. Wish they had gluten free bread but that is not uncommon. The ham was not fatty at all and cooked very good so it was not all dried out. Sausage and bacon were also cooked good and had excellent flavor. This will be my go to everytime I get to Casper. By far the best breakfast in town. Can't wait to try it again. read more

Very nice place. Friend recommended. Great food. Sat outside with great service. Definitely will return. read more

The Wooden Derrick Cafe - Excellent breakfast amd experience. Sat outside. First time here. It definitely will not be the last. Jadie was my server, very personable. - Cafes Near Me - Casper, Wyoming

Large amount of Homemade food for not a lot of money. The food is so delicious and the portion sizes are way more than I and my roommate could eat. 10/10 would recommend. Oh and they serve breakfast all day, minus waffles after 1100 am. read more

We were impressed to find the food to be quality, not the basic sysco stuff. Great family ownership. Great service. Our new spot downtown for breakfast. They also do homemade pies and cheese cake! Good to know! It wasn't loud. The lighting and atmosphere was enjoyable, and I tend to be very picky with atmosphere and noise. Glad there are more options downtown for breakfast. I'd choose this place over eggingtons. read more

Clean. Nice atmosphere. Good menu. Staffed well. I think we may have come in on a less than stellar day. Like the chef was feeling a little fragile. Pancakes were burned but served anyway. Omelette was darker than the toast on both sides. Maybe should turn the grill temperature down a bit. read more

Food is amazing. The service is great. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. Great atmosphere with great decorations.
