From the outside you would think this place is old, rundown, and you should not go in. The problem was that we were told from a local that the food is "amazing". "A family friendly, sit down restaurant". We walked in, and the staff were nice. We sat down with super high hopes. Did we want a steak? Breakfast? A burger? There were a lot of options. I had been hoping for comfort food. I ordered the perfect plate. Open faced sandwich with veggies. "Country bread" was actually just a super soft wonder bread. Not toasted. So before I started eating it it was a soggy mess. The "meat" was actually just a few slices of lunchmeat and the whole thing was smothered in a pre-maid style gravy. To make matters worse. The "veggie of the day" was actually canned veggies. Was it the type of meal I grew up on? Sure, but what I pictured in my head was a thick piece of toast with real meat, homemade gravy and fresh sautéed vegetables. I am disappointed in the chef for making such horrible meals. If this is owned by someone else, I am also disappointed in the owner because they purchase the products and create the menu. Overall a fail. read more

Prompt, friendly service with a welcoming small-town feel. The breakfast was delicious, and the steady coffee refills were appreciated. A great place to stop when passing through Pinedale. read more

The restaurant wasn't what I would call busy, maybe I had just missed the rush. That being said all the tables and most of the counter spots were dirty when I went in, not to mention the strange odor that I noticed immediately upon walking in. But I was hungry and I love diner type restaurants so I chose to stay and try the food anyway. The service was attentive and polite so no complaints there. I had the unsweetened tea and it was quite good, not just brown colored water. The food arrived in a timely fashion, it looked decent but was mediocre at best. It wasn't bad (I had the Club sandwich) but was boring and just filled the hole. I don't think I'll ever go back. read more

Wrangler Cafe - Triple decker Club with onion rings - New American Near Me - Pinedale, Wyoming

The place for breakfast in the Pinedale area. Great food, varied menu and excellent service. I highly recommend it!

It was a busy morning at the Wrangler Cafe, but they were getting people in and seated pretty quickly. They were friendly and efficient. The food was really tasty. It came out fresh, hot, and quickly. They made their eggs perfectly, and we all ordered our eggs. A lot of friendly locals were there, and I figure that when the locals frequent a place, it's probably a good bet! I'd recommend this place 100%! read more

Nothing fancy or fussy just good food prepared quickly and efficiently! Great variety of omelets to choose from and hash browns were nice and crunchy! I enjoyed the steak and egg omelette read more

Decent food and service. Interior needs an update. It's old inside but not the Old West type of old. Worth a try.

Hit this spot after coming out of the mountains. Diner food done really well. Service was good and the coffee was hot. Just what we needed.

Such a great spot for local, hearty fare and to meet friendly locals. The coffee ($2.75/each) was your usual diner brew but was served fresh. I ordered the Chicken Fried Steak (tender beef fritter smothered with country gravy, eggs cooked your way, hash browns and choice of toast, $12.99). I had heard there is nowhere that serves the iconic meal like a Wyoming diner so I had to try it. I'll admit, it was pretty great compared to other Chicken Fried Steaks I'd had! They went heavy on the creamy, hot gravy and the steak was juicy and tender. Hash browns were cooked to perfection! My husband got the French Toast Combo ($10.99) and the few bites I had were fantastic. It came with two eggs and choice of two bacon slices or sausage links. The French toast was fluffy and made with Texas toast bread. 10/10 all around!! read more

Big portions, decent service, good food. They serve breakfast all day! Nothing to complain about except the price was kinda expensive for home cooking. read more

Just good old down home cooking like mom used to make. Breakfast all day and I'm all over it. Mimosas & chicken fried steak & eggs. One of the better breakfast places. Enjoy! read more

Food was great and servers are nice each time my family and I come. Will come back over and over again!

Super busy one Sunday morning. Didn't expect a wait but heard good things from some locals. I wasn't disappointed. The food was delicious. Eggs, scrambled were a little overcooked but all in all I enjoyed it. The coffee was pretty good too. Something most places never have. Good coffee. Definitely a spot to hit for breakfast. The rest of the menu looked promising too. Service was fantastic and friendly. read more

I always come here when passing thru on my camping trips. I have always enjoyed the food for many yerr mostly the breakfasts. The last two times I had the breakfasts burrito with the bacon, suauage, and ham smothered in green chile. The second time was just a bad as the first time. Many year ago the pork green chile could pass for that, it does not come even close now. I ask what they they put in it and the waiter said tonalities and jalapenos. Then why does is taste like chile powder? The burrito is mostly filled with hashbrowns and thin sliced ham. I you are Luckey you might find some bacon or egg. I hope that someone can clue them in that this is not Pork Green Chile and get them recipe. read more

We love wrangler cafe . It is a great example of good traditional American breakfast. The service is pretty good and the whole atmosphere is homey/kid friendly. A filling meal that is a favorite here is the chicken fried steak . Served with mashed potatoes and toast. It's a comfort food lovers paradise! I ordered the steak omelette and it hit the spot. It came with soft hash browns and your choice of toast. Still waiting for a gluten free option here! I ask everytime. English muffin or maybe even a pancake would be amazing! My only complaint. This place is always a good idea, especially if you have a good appetite. Also Not a bad idea to add on a homemade pie togo. read more

We heard good things about this place but we were disappointed! The eggs were "brown" aka burned, the bacon looked like mush, and the service was terrible! The only 2 stars given were for the pancakes that were very tasty! However, we won't be back. read more

I'm sure their trying but it's just not really worth it. Eggs were destroyed, akin to what you'd expect from a Dennys. You have but two choices and the better one is likely Heart and Soul cafe. Choose wisely. If you like sweet stuff for breakfast then go to the Pines coffee house and get you some liege waffles, excellent! If you're looking to spend the day with a belly ache then look no further, you found it. On the bright side, I believe I got totally cleaned out afterwards. Service was slow but it seemed like they just need to add an employee or two, would likely make the difference. As for the ambiance, just a greasy spoon joint. read more

Only 4 stars as food came out less hot than I like. Biscuits and gravy were great. Also had huevos rancheros skillet. Excellent! Friendly service. Small town western ambience. Breakfast served all day! read more

The closing hours for every restaurant in this town is at 9pm. I was hoping we could squeeze in a hot cooked meal after a long drive from Colorado Springs. I was thankful we were seated by the grim looking waitress at 8:15. She decided to help the other waiter by taking our drinks as nicely as possible. I understand she probably was tired from a busy day so I'm giving her an out but the sign said if we were grouchy they didn't have to serve us but didn't it work both ways? :/ and there were others arriving after us so I didn't feel too bad....... but our waiter was great. He didn't let all the tables he had overwhelm his mood; we didn't feel rushed. Though they were running out of items, the meals we had were hot, fresh and delicious! read more

I don't live in Pinedale, but I want to. I consider it a town at a crossroads. There is no better way to illustrate this than to look at the two breakfast options in town: The cowboy/old school option: this place. The hippy/new school option: Hearth and Soul (https://www.yelp.com/biz/heart-and-soul-bakery-and-cafe-pinedale) Me? I like 'em both, cuz I like Pinedale. This is classic diner fare with some occasional hints of a Mexican influence. The portions are large, everything comes with potatoes + toast, the coffee is fine and it is unlimited. Service is generally friendly with a crust of surliness. Lots of locals here, just look at all the trucks in the parking lot! read more

Just good food! They were packed but the server managed to efficiently take my order and deliver! Great traditional breakfast

Pinedale, Wyoming, located in west-central Wyoming, is a sportsman's paradise, as it's with a few minutes of some of the best outdoor activities, including boating, hunting and fishing, that the great State of Wyoming has to offer. When you engage in engage in the cornucopia of outdoor activities the area has to offer, you get hungry, and that's where Wrangler Cafe comes in, as they offer some of the best food to be found in Pinedale. Please note that this visit took place a couple years ago, and I'm only just now getting to post my thoughts on Yelp. I walked into a busy restaurant on this late-Tuesday morning. As you walk in, the long dining room is to your right, and parallels the kitchen. There is a u-shaped counter at the rear of the room which is shared by customers and staff, and is a place where the staff like to eat and chit-chat with customers. I love the rustic decor. I found a place at the end of the counter, where the locals mingle with the staff, where all of the events of Pinedale, Wyoming, the country, and the entire world are discussed. My host is the gentleman wearing the maroon shirt, on the "staff" side of the counter, and the other gentleman seems to be the guy in charge. The lady at the end of the counter seemed to be the "moderator," as she seemed to lead the conversation in local gossip, and the events of the world. The television was tuned to Fox News, and the broadcasts were mostly about the ongoing Texas hurricane and flooding, and that, along with local gossip, were the main topics discussed. I mostly listened, as I didn't have a whole lot to ad to the conversation. Chicken fried steak sounded amazing to me, so that's what I ordered. The perfectly breaded and cooked steak was covered in wonderful sausage gravy, and was tender and delicious. The sourdough toast mostly covers the hash brown potatoes and two eggs, cooked over easy, but it was not a problem, as the breakfast was delicious! Great food, great service, and a restaurant that truly reflects the character and flair of the Pinedale locals. Stop by Wrangler Cafe, in friendly Pinedale, Wyoming, for delicious food, along with lots of friendly conversations... read more

Stopped here for an afternoon pick me up after being on the motorcycles for most of the day. Friendly staff and a very "old west" feel to the place. Enjoyed a hot cup of cocoa and a cinnamon roll. The roll was a little dry; maybe a day old or a bit overworked but I ate every last bite read more

Breakfast was a great. The portions are large. I'm glad I ordered the 1/2 pancake sandwich. My husband had eggs and ham with hashbrowns. The night before we ate at their sister restaurant (The Patio) extremely happy with both. read more

We were told to check out the Wrangler for breakfast since we are from out of town. This was probably some of the best breakfast I have had. They have a house made pork Verde sauce they put on a burrito & it was amazing. She got some shredded ribeye w/ green peppers & scrambled eggs. Eduardo was on point as a waiter & we were very pleased. This place did not disappoint! read more

The place has real rustic charm and the food we ordered was delicious. I had the fish tacos (excellent fish) and my husband had the French Dip. Glad we chose this place. Would definitely come here again. read more

I like eating breakfast here occasionally, especially like the biscuits and gravy, and the omelettes. They also make homemade real French fries which are wonderful. read more

I love trying local stuff when I travel. Getting a taste of the places I go is as essential for me as buying a tee-shirt or commemorative stuffed jackalope is to others. Thus I was excited to try this local legend, touting down-home cooking and homemade pie. Mmm love me some PIE! The service was mumbley and non-committal, but I've worked in food service and thought maybe the guy had had a rough shift. No big deal. He took our orders and told us to take a trip to the salad bar. It was almost out of lettuce, and other ingredients were either gone or almost gone and nothing was fresh. Hmmph. We hunted and eventually found silverware to eat with. Not a very clean place. The entrées showed up eventually, and were not very good; frozen vegetables, dry turkey, under-seasoned mashed potatoes with over-salty obviously powdered gravy, over-cooked chicken fried steak that looked like a cheap frozen hamburger patty, fried in fish batter, with a dry baked potato. A dry, unseasoned baked potato. Who does that?! The pie had seen the inside of a refrigerator for far too long and tasted like it. And no amount of Redi-whip sprayed willy-nilly on top can cover that up. Yuck. The server couldn't be bothered to remove our dirty dishes, either. We ate dessert amongst the remains of our unpleasant entrées Extra star for the history and kitsch, but this is one legend that is resting firmly on its laurels and not trying to impress guests with product and service. Go to the brew pub down the street for that! They're concerned about what they sell. read more

Nice hone style cooking. After days on road of fast food, it was a welcomed meal. We had dinner and it was good.

My boyfriend and I were very excited to have green chili breakfast. Being from Wyoming and being Mexican I thoroughly enjoy green chili and most places nail the authentic flavor I crave. My craving for green chili was immediately shattered when I took the first bite of the Huevos Rancheros. The green chili was not green which calls into question the choice of chili used in the first place. The cook was far too heavy handed with the lime and it tasted as though the whole dish relied on just lime, tomato and salt. Which I like in tomato soup but not in chili smothering all of my food for breakfast. I do not begrudge the waitress however we were forced to leave as we could not stomach it any further. read more
