    This is a hidden gem in this small ranching town (pop 300) outside Cody, WY. We were headed home to Colorado from Yellowstone and decided to stop and eat lunch at whatever food and lodging off ramp that came up..voila! Meeteetse, Wy. We ordered 2 French dips and the cheesesteak sandwich...we knew we had stumbled on something wonderful when the waitress asked us, "how would you like your meat cooked?" What?! A French tip without shaved, pre roasted meat?!! The cheesesteak wasn't strips of London broil? Nope all the sandwiches were made with fresh, not frozen flat iron steaks. Cooked exactly as you order it... which is imipramine to me as I like my meat seared lightly. The chef/owner came out to make sure mine was acceptable considering the rules regarding rare orders... it was perfect. The family moved to meeteetse five years ago to be closer to their mother/mother-in-law and the wide open spaces..they saw the bar and its potential. The rest is history. The chef/owner is from Charleston, SC and knows how to blend flavors and plate pleasingly....AND it's only5 hours from colorado... we'll be back

    My wife and I stopped here on our way back to Casper from Cody. My fishing guide recommended as the best food around and should not be missed. We were not disappointed. The Elkhorn cheese steak had chunks of delicious and tender steak along with peppers , onions and cheese. My wife's burger was done perfectly medium without her having to ask and it was the first time in years that she finished her meal. The service was excellent and our server Kelsey was very personable. Don't miss it if your on the area.

    Like all the reviews say, definitely the place to stop whether you are just traveling through or your destination is Meeteetse. I ordered the wild burger (60% bison and 40% elk) medium rare and a side of onion rings, it came out medium, so it was a little dryer than I would have hoped and the side of onion rings was a pretty small portion, 2 or 3 more would have made a huge difference. (those two things are the reason why I dropped it a star) Besides that, the meat was a very high quality and tasted fresh. My father ordered the Elkhorn cheesesteak, medium rare, and man was that thing delicious! Amazing taste, very flavorful and hands down the best cheesesteak, him or myself have ever had. This place is a locals spot, but the staff makes you feel right at home, service was good, place was clean and had a cool vibe going with it. Overall, this place is a must stop. Definitely get the Elkhorn cheesesteak, it's absolutely amazing.

    we ordered a rodeo burger and it was burned on the bottom and the chips were hard. I would not recommend.

    My grandfather Guy Curtis owned the Elkhorn bar in the 50's?

    We have heard that is the case. Perhaps the Meeteetse Museum or town hall would have that sort of info on file to aid in research? Good luck!

    I go through Meeteetse WY a few times a year and usually don't stop to eat until I get to Cody where I am usually disappointed.

    We were told this was an awesome local hangout with good food. We came here for dinner and drinks…read moreand weren't greeted. I guess it's not that kind of place. We found a table. And sat ourselves. Everyone seemed to know everyone and I felt slightly ignored. The waitress noticed us and took our drink order. She said there is no menu and to look at the wall, the specials are on the wall. There were 5 options for dinner. They all sounded good. She said she'd take our order once she came back with our drinks. By the time she came back with our drinks each meal option had been erased one by one and we were told dinner was sold out. They offered we could buy a bag of chips. So now I have a gin and tonic on an empty stomach with no dinner option. Plus I was getting a headache with most patrons smoking cigarettes and eating at the same time. My drink was good. We chugged our drinks and went elsewhere for dinner. Dinner must have been good since it sold out . The locals love this place so that's good . Maybe next time we can get there before 6p.

We went for elevensies and second breakfastes while the local drunks were on their thirteentheses. Ask for the beef wellington or the truffle smoked duck. My golden birthday is on February 45th.
