Recently, I made the long drive to Cheyenne, WY (14 hours!).  Before I left I researched some places I might be able to have dinner.  The Wyoming Rib & Chop House sounded perfect.  It took me a couple of days to get there, but I wasn’t let down.

The restaurant is located in downtown Cheyenne, and has some tricky parking in their lot, so allow time to find a space.

First, and probably MOST important – Make a reservation!!  Wednesday was the day I chose to go, and it was PACKED!  People just walking in at 6pm were told they’d have to wait over an hour.  As usual, I decided to try the bar area and it was super crowded there as well.  There were a couple of guys standing by one chair, and I appealed to their sense of doing the right thing, and they let me sit. 😉  It was the only chair left.

The clientele seemed to be a mixture of locals and business professionals.  The Wyoming Rib & Chop house has an excellent reputation, so I did meet other out-of-towners who were trying it out as well.

As satisfying my restricted diet, they did very well!  I ordered a filet, which is served with drawn (real) butter and parsley. My bartender/server, Rowdy, was very attentive and even ran back to make sure the cooks made my dinner correctly.  The dinner comes with a side and a salad, so I ordered Romaine lettuce with blue cheese crumbles along with olive oil and vinegar.  As usual, I couldn’t have most of the sides, but Rowdy suggested green beans sauteed with butter, salt & pepper, which worked well.

For those who are daring, they even had frog legs! No, I wasn’t going near that one!  hehe

If you ever get to Cheyenne, you MUST check this place out!  It was the best restaurant I experienced during my week stay.  I visited them twice and loved it both times.
