We were recently in Pinedale for a week and ate here several times. Beers were very good and an interesting seasonal selection. We had the wings, chicken ceasar salad and burgers. Everything was top notch. Nice efficient service. It was our go to for a late dinner or lunch while we stayed in Pinedale. read more

The wait staff dinged my rating just a bit. Server was fine (neither here nor there) but an 'off duty' employee sat down next to me at the bar and out of nowhere says to the bartender, "I wish my x husband would die" and no less than 5x says "he does something to me every month". Not real relaxing. Food was good and quick after ordering. Hmmmm, not sure what to make if this place. Lots of good things overcome by the folks that work there. I'd try it again hoping 'she's not there'. read more

We stopped here after a day of snowmobiling. Good food. Good beer. Good service. Our waitress, Stacy, was a hoot. We had a grumpy 6 year old and she was able to make him laugh. We will be back again. read more

Beer was cold, food was very good, and service was great. Hamburger and brat with Sauerkraut comes highly recommended!

Average all the way around. The beer was okay, but not memorable or particularly good. Had the hamburger. It was okay, but nothing to right home about. My wife had a baked potato but curiously no butter came with it or offered. She liked it. Tomorrow we will check out other restaurants in town. The service was fine and prices moderate. read more

Great selection of quality brewed beers. Mixed service which at times was brusque and cold. Food was good and well priced, and desert was heaven. read more

Beers are good, service was fantastic, food was not very good at all. I didn't wanna review this place based off my first visit only, but after my second visit I can confidently say that the food is not great. The first time I went I was more interested in beer than food so I ordered mozz sticks and most of them had been cooked so long that the cheese had leaked out in the fryer and the mozz sticks were empty inside. The second time I came I ordered the Egg Burger and the burger tasted overwhelming fishy. I'm not sure if they cooked it next to fish, stored it with fish, or pulled it out of an aquarium but the beef burger tasted like a salmon burger... It was very strange and off-putting. Our server was incredibly nice and fun to talk to and the beers were great but I don't think I'll order food here again. read more

Was on a trip through the inter Mountain West, stopping at microbreweries along the way. Stopped here and got a really good brew and a really good homemade veggie burger. Love this place will come back again! read more

Seriously awesome beer, great food, and friendly service. Stoked to find this hidden gem on a long drive through Wyoming. Bought a few cases of beer to bring home to Colorado! read more

My husband was there for the beer, and enjoyed his flight, I liked that I could just get a tasting size. I was there for the food, and highly recommend the ribeye sandwich, tender steak on a toasted baguette, with roasted red peppers and grilled onions, the blend of flavors was really tasty. It comes with your choice of sides, I got salad, husband got sweet potato fries that were served with a sweet BBQ dipping sauce, I could not stop stealing them. Outdoor patio upstairs is a very pleasant place to sit. read more

So slow!!!!!!!! We waited forever! If you have 1/2 day to kill this is the place to go! Yikes!

Looked forward to a nice burger and brew but they rejected my 5lb 15 year old pup in my carry bag on their outdoor patio. Their loss. We had a nice Mexican meal down the street on their patio. Wind River sucks wind. read more

I guess it's a running joke that when we exit the Colorado state line, microbrews seem to go downhill. I don't mean to sound snobbish, but CO knows full bodied, hoppy, delicious beers. So I shouldn't have been surprised when Wind River's beers were watery and lacked any flavor. We were on our way to Montana, and stopped around the Wind River range to sleep for the night. Starving, we quickly needed something to eat. Whenever we go somewhere new, we always want to try local food and beers- so we were excited Wind River was (pretty much the only thing) open. I'll deliver some good news first- the Prime Rib we both ordered was pretty good. Fresh horseradish and au jus hit the spot after driving for what seemed like forever. Now I'll break the bad news......After perusing the beer list, we decided to order the sampler so we could see what they had to offer..... I rarely leave beer in the taster, but these were so watery and had no body that I couldn't finish them. The mango tasted like overly flavored tropical juice concentrate- blech. I was so sad there were no IPA's- the bitter-er, the better! The hefe wasn't awful, but not as spicy as I would have liked. The stouts were okay at best. If we were ever back in the area and this was the only thing open, I suppose we would stop for a steak....and remember to bring a growler of good beer to enjoy afterwards in the hotel. read more

This is our visit to Wind River Brew and our last. Good beer and great atmosphere but the pricy food is consistently disappointing.

Excellent beer and hummus fueled us up. Great atmosphere as well. We tried two different beers from their huge selection. The bartender was patient and let us try a few before we made our pick. Would go back in a heartbeat if I was passing through and try a burger. Menu looked excellent. read more

Very nice establishment, people are friendly, haven't eaten anything I didn't like here. And same with the beers . I like the wy not ipa. Prices aren't to bad either, 20.00 for a brisket Sandwich / fries and 2 beers so not bad and portions are large. definitely a go to when in town read more

We stopped at this place on our way to visit our friends in green river. Great little spot. The food was great. The previous reviews are correct though, we were probably one of 3 tables there and it took over 20 minutes to get our food. I had the pizza burger which was fantastic and my hubby had the beer be que brisket sandwich and he said it was ok. read more

Just like another review I saw, I think Colorado sets the standard for microbrews. We travel a lot and visit microbrews on vacation. The waiter here didn't know what a "flight" if beer is. That tells you something....... The service is very slow. Friendly, but slow. It's been 45 minutes and we have not gotten our food yet. Nice place, but slow. Husband is a home brewer and beer judge and is puzzled as to why these beers won awards. If you have a hankering for Mexican food and don't want to try Los Cabos, as our b&b host said it is not good, do NOT try the beef fajitas as a substitute read more

Bring a thirst and an appetite. The beer selection is good. The Wyoming Pale Ale is darker. The burgers are made to order and large with fries or another side. Staff is friendly and there is plenty of seating with the new construction. read more

Had the WRBC Burger; magnificent. Waitstaff was friendly, beer pretty great. What more could you ask for after 5 or 6 days of backpacking? Go. Eat. Enjoy. read more

I was in Pinedale for work and stored in here for dinner on Friday night. It got pretty busy as dinner went on with people of all ages. The potato and device were vert nice. I had 2 pints of Sheppard's (wheat beer) and it had some lemony flavors, but not over powering. The black bean burger was dry, but on delicious local bread. So, hit or miss on the food, thumbs up on the beer. read more

Stopped here for dinner since this was pretty much the only place in the small town of Pinedale that was around where our hotel was. This is a good place to go with kids . The menu offered nothing special nor local. My son had the kids chicken strips which came with only 2 pieces of chicken. I know it's the kids menu but seriously 2 small chicken pieces is not enough for kids - 2 points Soup of the day(lentil and sausage ) was awesome - 4 points I had buffalo chicken (mediocre and non memorable)- 3 points My husband had the flat iron steak - he asked for it to be medium rare but it came as well done. Also what was described as a ten oz steak appeared to be a mere 6 oz thin piece of meat - 1 point Good service -4 points The house Chardonnay was surprisingly good Overall nothing special. More like. 2.5 read more

Nice place, but service was very slow. 1 hour to get simple sandwhices and salads to table. Food was only ok. I happens to everyone but found several long hairs in my food read more

We are residents for a good portion of the year a few miles from here. We came in to town for the rendevuox parade and activities. We had a reservation for lunch. Our group grew by two, so the staff decided to clean a different table for us. We sat for fifteen minutes before we were given menus or water. Meanwhile, another large group sat at what was going to be our table. Not only did they get service, their food and left long before us, a third group was seated, served and gone before we got our food and beverages. Much to the chagrin of my sweetheart, I got up and discussed the fact that it took ONE and ONE-HALF hours to get our food with the employees standing around a service area. I asked them what type of "comp" the management might be offering for this inexcusable delay of food and service. I heard apologies but no reason for what I consider the worst dining experience a restaurant could provide. If any restaurant cannot give proper service or even return to a table to ask how the food was meeting to their satisfaction or properly know who ordered what item from the menu, tell me, why are they in business? An employee in a position of decision-making did discount our bill. For our group of over ten people, I can give them a tip: Shut your doors. Try another line of business, You don't deserve to call yourselves a food service establishment. If Yelp would allow negative review numbers, I'd give this place a MINUS 3. Won't be back! And, I will strongly recommend to all I know and meet to avoid this place like the plague. Too bad, but it would be better to not have this business open than to do what they do here! read more

Just a good solid meal. Nothing fancy, I had a well cooked burger and a great mug of brown ale. Food was tasty, service a bit slow, but over all a great meal. read more

The food was nothing spectacular. The service wasn't good. We waited forever to get seated, and then once we were seated, it took the waitress forever to come get our order. Once you receive your food don't expect to see your waitress again. read more

The first words out of the server mouth was "we're out of these beers" and he walked away. Then after 10 minutes he took our beer order. Only positive was chips and Pico de Gallo was really good read more

Awful food, awful service. I had fish and chips. The fish was overlooked and the fries were soggy. Waitress was incredibly slow. Very nice, but slow. Waited 45 minutes for bad food. The waitresses wear ugly blue jeans and chew gum. The decor is spartan and not very clean. bus station was visible from dining room and was grossly dirty. Very disappointing. read more

Excellent Food, Horrible Service. My first question is how does this waitress/bartender still work there? Her name is like Diedra, Diandra, or something. She is a blonde with lots of tattoos, kind of trashy ... kind of real trashy, not to be confused with the other blonde waitress/bartender who has only a few. My company does work in the area every year, hard and heavy fieldwork. So, we are thirsty. Last year, a female coworker apparently asks for some water and this lady grabs an old, half drunk, glass of water from another table that had not been cleared yet. It wasn't a joke, just a b*tch move. Horrible, service! This year, this same lady made us wait half-an-hour to take our order, and the place wasn't even busy or short staffed. When she brought our drink order, we emptied the water pitcher before she even left ... she finally refilled it twenty minutes after a request for another. When she brought the food, she mixed up the order, and got confused. Someone ordered a chicken sandwich and she thought it was turkey. He corrected her, "it is suppossed to be a bacon-chicken sandwich" and she lifted the bun up and handled the sandwich without gloves or clean hands from bar tending and said "yeah, whatever, it's got bacon". it took another twenty minutes after our meal to get her attention for our check ... we should have just walked out, like she cared. After a few requests, she brought the checks. We waited another twenty minutes for them to be picked up ... she never came. We signaled her and everything. Finally, after watching her take other orders, joke with regulars at the bar, and etc. my supervisor walked the checks up to her. She huffed and took them without a word, without an apology, or anything. When she returned the bills ... my coworkers all paid with credit cards and I paid with cash: she short-changed me a $5. I wasn't about to wait another hour for her to count the register down only to claim I must have been mistaken. Needless to say, that was her only tip from the table, when my $13 dinner turned into $18. So, a two hour meal because of bad service!!! She needs to be fired, to upright this sinking ship. Other than the service, the food was great. We ate there twice in our trip, we were going to find a different place if she was working. The first night I had a buffalo-style chicken sandwich with blue cheese crumbles and some of their beer battered fries. It was a great sandwich, great hot sauce (like Frank's Red Hot or similar) and a perfect match with the blue cheese. The chicken was moist and flavorful with the spices. The fries were awesome! The second night I had a brew master burger. The meat was dry, despite ordering it medium and it coming out medium. (Maybe it wasn't rested long enough in back, or was too lean of meat for a good burger, or cut into to check for doneness? Whatever the reason, it was too dry.) It wasn't a moist burger, which took what would have been a great burger down a notch. It was however flavorful and huge and good. I would recommend it, especially if it was kept moist next time. If you see the bad waitress, run; otherwise, enjoy the food. read more

Went here after the Green River Rzendevous pageant. We had beer sampler and shared a few appetizers with the kids. Food was so-so. Beer was very solid. I fell in love with the TKO - 12% of awesome goodness (I even bought a pint of it at a Cody brewery later in our trip). Lovely patio seating overlooking downtown. Service was friendly and efficient. read more

On a recent trip to Pinedale my husband and I ate at the Wind River Brewing Company. We aren't big fans of their beer but would say that they have a good selection for rural Wyoming. The staff were all super nice, but we were disappointed with their food. My husband got the ribs and after his first bite declared them too salty and not smoky enough. I got a burger that was over done and taste like a hockey puck. If I was in Pinedale again I might go back for the beer and might give the food another try. read more

Had a quick early dinner . Staff borders on rude. Food was not good. Don't order street tacos. I can't handle sweet and over dressed coleslaw on a spicy dish. Had to just eat the meat and leave the rest of my dinner. That being said it was extremely overpriced. Beer was good. read more

We stopped in because the ratings were great ... Unfortunately, our hostess didn't let us know that the majority of appetizers and our entrees were not available. The waitress let us know at time of ordering that the menu was limited. We watched other tables' food arrive as we waited which led us to believe our order hadn't been submitted. We asked the hostess to check please because the waitress was m.i.a. We waited for nearly an hour for the salads (which ended up being our dinner) to arrive. When our waitress finally arrived with 1/2 salads (NOT what we ordered) we were absolutely frustrated with what was going on. We asked for our check - the manager showed up with zero apologies. She said the waitress isn't at fault for the poor service. I'm assuming they have poor kitchen service causing issues at front end- regardless...of their reasoning we had a poor experience and we hope they can get it together. We won't ever be back, but good luck to anyone who gives them a try. read more

Decent food, slow service. After a very long trip into to wilderness a burger and beer is a must. My girlfriend and I spent several days hunting Goldens in the Winds. Coming out of the wilds like zombies looking for brains we had one thing on our minds. Cold beer and a blue cheese burger. Nether disappointed. It did take a while for the food to come out and our beers to get refilled. If we hadn't been so deprived of civilization we would have been more critical. But all and all we'll come again, and see if our beers stay full. read more

This place appeared to be the perfect place to have dinner and drinks on a Tuesday night. Not overly crowded, but we were told the wait for food was an hour. We were ok with waiting upstairs and having a few drinks. Sat there for 15 minutes before the waitress said that she would be right with us. She never came back and we had to grab a different server. He took our drink orders, but after waiting another 15 minutes with no drinks, we got up and walked out. Terrible service. Poor management. read more

I love the food here! Almost everything that you eat there is made in their back kitchens by their amazing staff. Everybody is really nice and when I went with my boyfriend on our visit there we had a really good time. read more

Stopped in with my boyfriend for lunch and beers. I had the chicken strips with chips and salsa. My boyfriend had the Mac n Cheese Burger. My strips just like any normal strips, chips and salsa were just ok nothing special or favors. The Mac n cheese on the burger was mildly warm temperature wise and stiff, maybe stale. I had the TKO beer which is pretty good and my boyfriend had the IPA. The IPA was typical. Service was very nice and our bartender was very friendly. I will come here again and try some other dish. read more

If the Sheriff eats here, it must be good! 'nuff said. (P.s. Hubby had award-winning Brisket BBQ sandwich with Wasabi viniagrette-dressed side salad and I had the flat steak-gorgonzola salad. So yummy!) read more

Wind River Brewing - Burgers Near Me - Pinedale, Wyoming

Best lunch spot in Pinedale. The Windriver Rueben is really good. The brew is for real. You won't be disappointed with the experience.

Awesome food! Saw it passing through town. I had the grilled chicken club and it was good. Would have been better on a roll instead of Texas toast but still good. Beer battered fries were good also. Didn't try the beers, too early for me, but they looked good. Hubby said his burger was the bomb! read more
