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.

Ordered chips and salsa for $8, ended up with the bottom of the bag (crushed up chips) ....

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.

Mac and cheese

The Mac and Cheese was great. The lady was nice but took a bit to get refills but all good. But over all a great place to eat and chill.

We love to take fishing trips in the area and always stop here. Good beer selection and nice menu. Friendly staff, quick service. Plenty of seating. I highly recommend.

The Mac and cheese was creamy and delicious! The fried fish sandwich was over fried, but otherwise food was really good.

It's okay beer and food if you are in town for an evening, but wouldn't be competitive in a bigger town with other good options

Over priced imo, but that's because it's the only modern place to eat in pinedale. Good is nothing to rave about sadly. Beers were good

Service was great and the food came quick. It also tasted great! I'm thinking anything I order off the menu will be delicious.

I went to Pinedale for lunch today. I decided to stop into Heart & Soul Bakery & Cafe. I ordered…read morethe Thursday Special which was a meat stromboli with tomato soup. I thought the Stromboli was good but lacked real flavor. I was mostly eating through Italian meats (salami and pepperoni) with occasional flavors of basil but it was not deep and rich in its profile. Service was good, but not over the top. The restaurant is set right on the main drag on Pine Street. The restaurant also contains a small gift shop for local artisans sell their goods. But the interior of the restaurant is super cute and cozy.

First, I understand a busy time, but service was abysmal at best. To begin we waited in line to…read moreorder for at least 10 minutes. While in line, the wait staff was rude. "I'm going to need you all to move so I can get through," is a less effective and polite way of saying "excuse me, please." The kids in front of us ordered and rightfully got their food before us, but so much so that they finished and left before our food came out. This wouldn't have been a problem but when our food did finally make it to the table, it was on the cold side. Had they bothered to check in with us, I would have said something, but they didn't even bother. They were too busy playing with the dogs in the patio. The food was mediocre at best. The service sucked. The prices were fine. I'm only giving this place 3 stars for the physical atmosphere and prices. I'd find somewhere else to eat next time.

Spectacular view across the lake to the Wind River mountains. We stumbled in this place as a…read morestopover from California to Yellowstone. Very nice cabins in the lake at affordable prices. For dinner wife had the ribeye steak which was huge with similar sized helpings of mashed potatoes and green beans. I went with the burger and homemade fries. Everything was really good and highly recommended. Suggestion to management: replace the cracked butter container and never bring a bottle of beer that isn't cold. -This review is from last summer. Got stuck in my drafts.

If I could give a million stars, I would! Let me start by saying that this is such a beautifully…read moremaintained piece of heaven! We didn't stay at the lodge because we were camping, but we had the pleasure of sitting at the bar with Dominique for dinner, who completely made our night serving the BEST cocktails! And the food was AMAZING too! You can of course fulfill your carnivore healthy appetite, but they have vegan and gluten free items too! It really isn't that far from the Town of Pinedale, so if you are looking for a GREAT restaurant, I would absolutely recommend the drive up to have a spectacular dinner with incredible ambiance. But the great dinner and service wasn't the only part of our eventful night. After leaving the restaurant, we accidentally took a wrong turn onto a road that we thought was the campsite and while backing up, we almost flipped our van over a cliff! It was literally dangling from the side of the road!!! So, because we had established such a great relationship with Dominique, I decided to call the restaurant to see if they could help. And by the grace of GOD, got reception and was able to speak to the owner, Kristine. Within minutes, she arrived and so did Dominique with a flatbed truck, and with the 2 vehicles, they were able to pull us out!!!! I have never been so grateful in my life for these 2 angels that saved our lives. They had been working all day and didn't even blink to come and help. And when I asked how I could repay them, they said, "Welcome to Wyoming, please just pay it forward." So, this review is not only to encourage everyone to eat, drink and stay at a BEAUTIFUL and SPECTACULAR establishment, it's a plea for me to be able to "pay it forward" a little bit to some really exceptional people who deserve all the best life has to give.
