Cuban
Katie M.

We should have listened to the warnings. My partner and I got sick after eating here. The Cuban was cold and super salty. Sweet potatoes were ok, the fry sauce helped. The Mac and cheese by itself was pretty ok, but the brisket on top was SO sweet it just ruined the whole dish. Brisket is supposed to be smoky/salty/savory. Stay away yall, it's not worth it.

Brisket Street Tacos
Carson M.

The food was decent. Not the best brewery food I've had but not bad. A little on the pricey side as we had our kids with us and the kids meals were $11. All and all it was Ok. Service was good and the staff were all friendly. The brisket tacos were a little dry. More like a dry chewy roast meat. Flavor was mild, not terrible just not what I was expecting for brisket. The salsa is different, but in a good way. It had a good amount of spice to it. Not a typical salsa but worth a try.

pesto chicken sandwich
AmyLiccet N.

Overall it was all pretty yummy. I will say the fish and chips were the hot item that my friend got and the cheese curd appetizers. I got the chicken pesto sandwich and it was also pretty good. Specially after a camping weekend the food all tasted really good. The upstairs dining outside was gorgeous and fun. It did take a minute for our food but it was a holiday weekend so it was busy. overall would recommend!

Fried pickles and Beet Salad
Abigail R.

I really enjoyed stopping in and visiting here. Main Street in Pinedale is a really lovely area. With Wind River Brewing being no different. They had a diverse beer selection, I enjoyed the Ginger Ninja and Mango beer, a large menu that spanned from a good wholesome salad to the greasy bar food you just need sometime. The fried pickles were the big hit for me, the portion size was huge and they were delicious. My partner loved his brisket quesadilla and lamented that he couldn't eat it all. And everything was very much kiddo approved. It can definitely get busy in here, so don't come if you're in a time crunch. But if you can sit down, enjoy good food, with good company, in a good restaurant. Look no further.

Great food, great service, outdoor seating, they fry in beef tallow! Would definitely eat here again!

Jalapeños popper (an order is 4 but I ate them)

After a day of hiking and the choice to cook at our campsite or eat here, we decide "there's beer here." And it turns out to be really GOOD beer, My boyfriend got a flight with PPML Cerveza (Mexican style beer with mango, prickly pear and citrus), Ginger Ninja (ginger, honey and fresh lemon), Octoberfest (solid German beer) and Out of Order Porter (a desert worth rich dark). All were great with the first 2 being outstanding and unique. The food highlight for me where the jalapeño poppers - not the fried, dried out one but homemade jalapeño stuffed with garlic chive cream cheese and wrapped in BACON. Worth the stop here. We also had the Mediterranean Salad (like an enhanced Greek salad) with perfectly grilled chicken ( moist and flavorful). And the clam chowder which thick and full of flavor (maybe a little light on the clams). There were great looking sandwiches in the menu but I wasn't that hungry. The service was fast and friendly, offers us additional sauces if needed. The atmosphere is like most brew pubs - high ceilings, dark wood accents and large screen TVs. It's more open than some brew pubs and is definitely family friend. There is also a bar that has a comfortable vibe and they offer full food service. Solid option if you're in the area and want a casual sit down meal that won't break the bank or a tasty local brew. They also offer takeout if you're on the go including growlers for the beer.

Food was OK at best, beer is this place's reason for being. Service was absolutely the worst.

I love Lander Brewing Company, and I normally don't like burgers that much. But oh my goodness,…read moretheir burgers are messy, gooey, deliciousness. I love the outdoor dining area because I have a toddler, so it's easier to keep him entertained on the patio. If you order a beverage, be warned - they make them strong! I'm a gin-and-soda gal, and wow! They do not scrimp on the gin. I couldn't even finish my drink, or else I'd have found a lampshade to put on my head and establish myself as the new town drunk. Let's see, I've eaten here three times and had a different burger each time. So far? They've all been good. And their fries are great too. It's not a sit-down restaurant, so just be aware you'll have to wait in line to order, and since this place is awesome - sometimes the line is long. It's worth it though. Trust me!

This place was about 30 minutes from our hotel in Riverton, WY, but we wanted to try it so we hit…read morethe road and checked it out. We were seated immediately at about 6:30pm on a Thursday and greeted very politely. The ambiance here was great, service was very attentive and the beer was their own brew. I had their Cow Crustacean and my wife had the Red Miso Corvina Sea Bass. Their On Belay IPA was a nice addition for our meals. The reason for the 4 star is because the steak I had could have been seasoned better with more of a char being cooked rare, a good crust is a must. My wife's sea bass was kind of sitting in a liquid which made it a little more soggy but still good. I'd recommend giving it a try and if we weren't from out of town, we'd go back.
