We are spending the day in Lander and needed a place to eat. So we googled Lander restaurant and came up with the Oxbow. I am so glad we came here. We were sat as soon as we came in. Our waitress Angie was amazing and our food was perfect. I definitely recommend eating here. read more

I just wanted to say they have done great food!!! But customer service is amazing. I made a call in order put had to go into work, couldn't call and tell them I wasn't going to be able to pick it up. Hours later I called told them I was sorry I would be in to pay for my food. They remain my food for me!!!! They didn't have to and I told them no, because it was my fault!!!! But they did it for me anyway. It was amazing!!! The best green chili in town tastes great on a omelet!!!! Once again thank you taking care of me read more

Wonderful small town table food. Nice stop with the family on our way to Yellowstone. Not a place you have to worry about a thing at.

A great place to eat breakfast, lunch, and supper. Good variety to choose from. Everyone who works there are so friendly. You'll definitely leave with your belly full. We'll be eating here again for sure:) read more

See all

Always a great place to eat no matter the weather hot or cold. Have the best coffee as well.

I wasn't really impressed. They have a nice selection on the menu. I tried a New York Steak, $16.99 with potato and soup or salad bar. Had the French Onion soup and it was pretty tasty. The shredded cheese didn't go far once it melted. The potato was really the only redeeming thing from the meal. I was totally disappointed with the steak. I don't even know how to describe it as I've never experienced it before. It was tender to the point of mushy. They cooked it mostly right but it just tasted weird. Then the grill marks were way over the top and I ended up cutting around them. I had excellent service and that combined with a big menu selection is why they earned 3 stars. I'd recommend exploring other options. read more

Highly recommend this wonderful family owned restaurant. We stayed in the hotel next door and were super grateful for this restaurant. Everything we tried was delicious. We ate dinner and one breakfast here and nobody had anything but wonderful things to say about their food. Can get busy at times with the hotel next door, but we never had to wait very long. read more

The Oxbow is Lander's token pseudo fast food place. Much of their food is sandwiches, salads and some entrees. For several years my family would come here off and on and we always enjoyed the French Dip. Nothing too fancy here but if you want good food that is not fancy in of itself then this is a good choice. read more

The wood-paneled walls and greasy spoon ambiance are remarkably skippable. The salad bar looks like food that Ethiopians would unapologetically turn down. Had the cheeseburger. I regret this decision. read more

Came in for the Prime Rib which runs from Thursday thru Sunday. Mouth watering for a medium rare seasoned piece of cow! The waitress tells me there is nothing under well done available. Super bummed!! So I get the ribeye medium rare....or that's what I asked for instead I get an over cooked well done lump of coal! Man so disappointed:( read more

The Oxbow Restaurant - After I sent my lump of coal back...I settled for this....aw...medium rare where r u.... - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lander, Wyoming

A typical american style breakfast cafe. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. Not sure if it is some place I would go out of my way to return to, but it wasn't terrible by any means. read more

We go here alot the staff is super friendly and the food is amazing I love getting a mimosa and the prime rib dinner. My family orders the sampler platter as an appetizer it is enough food to feed all six of us . read more

You know that restaurant your grandparents took you to as a kid that you thought was really good, but when you returned as an adult, you realized it was terrible garbage? This is Oxbow in a nutshell. Terrible food. Got the battered mushrooms as an appetizer and immediately regretted the decision. The mushrooms were clearly freezer burnt and heated up. Nasty crap. Ordered the turkey dinner and the Peppercorn sirloin. Turkey dinner was heated up lunch meat with gravy on top, and my "medium" peppercorn sirloin was well done. The "peppercorn sauce" was tasteless. Sad that the best part of the meal was the lukewarm bowl of instant mashed potatoes. Also, the waitress was nowhere to be found most of the night, and when we did manage to have her stop by our table, she took her sweet time getting us any thing we requested, despite the restaurant being basically empty. Avoid Oxbow. Your tastebuds will thank you. read more

Absolutely ridicules! Took over an hour to be seated and over another hour to receive our mediocre overpriced food. Don't waste your money!

Not Busy!!' Left us sitting at door 4 people in whole place.. walk around us never ask if we had been waited on or to be seated,got order wrong. Charged 1.00 for tablespoon mayonnaise, .75 for tablespoon of barbecue sauce. Really Rude!!! Customer is your business!! read more

This place screams as Lander's official Diner. On the main street, good comfort food in a nice atmosphere. A great place to fill up if just passing thru. read more

Basic good greasy spoon food. Good ham and cheese omelet. Very good rye toast, and pancakes very good. Brother for cinnamon roll, but actually had too much frosting. Very tasty, but not too healthy. read more

This has got to be One of the BEST experiences EVER thanks to Heather!! I was visiting my daughter and parents in July this summer m. Heather, our waitress was soooo sweet, friendly, made the best bottomless mimosas and and I returned with my parents and again Heather was very sweet!! read more

Mac and cheese burger and jalapeño popper patty melt are great. Fries are good. Onion rings are better. Service was very fast and friendly.

I like a fast, basic breakfast. The Oxbow fits that bill. While in Lander this week, I went there twice for eggs, bacon and hash browns for $7.00. The spread included four bacon strips - this morning, it was more like six! It's a local place, and I ran into long lost friends. I want to try the prime rib sometime. read more

My friend and I stopped there for lunch, as she had eaten there in the past and thought it was very good. Over experience this go-around was not, as good as hers the first time. For starters our server was nowhere to be found. Finally after over five minutes or so she did show up to take our drink and food order. I ordered the hot turkey sandwich and my friend ordered a chicken wrap, plus a bowl of French Onion Soup. My food was good, but just standard fair for a grassy spoon. My friend said her warp was good, but the soup was really just a mock version what you get at many eateries. Rather than topping with a crusty a piece of bread they just used a handful of croutons. Also it was just topped with a little shredded chasse, so it was not melted at first. In addition my friend said the broth was a little grassy. She said that she might not order the soup again. In all I found this place to be okay, but nothing more. That being said I might or might not eat there again when in Lander in future. read more

Best chicken fried chicken!!! The all you can eat crab is excellent and prime rib is outstanding for a nice night out! Breakfast scrambles and gigantic pancakes are the best start to the day. I love their salad bar for lunch. read more

Stopped here for a late lunch, wish we would have gotten subway instead!! I ordered the philly sandwich and French fries (sandwich came with aju, ) was supposed to have Swiss cheese, it had the cheap american Swiss processed cheese and thank goodness it came with aju , the freezer tasting beef was beyond dried and fried on the grill. Hubby had the hot meatloaf and was a piece of meatloaf on a slice of bread, real mashed potatoes topped with can/jar or powdered gravy. I also asked for a little extra aju but I wasn't paying extra for a dry freezer tasting 3/4 of a sandwich that I ate about 4 bites of!! Who charges for aju sauce??? Wouldn't waste my money on this place, our meal for 2with water to drink was $18 and some odd cents!!! Never again,lol read more

The Eggs Benedict got the job done for breakfast. The place was packed, so we had to sit in the smoking section, but almost no smoke was present due to good ventilation. Our waitress was exceptional. read more

The Oxbow is your classic ranch town restaurant. The food is good but not great, filling and has full value for what you pay for. The menu is classic American fare. On Fridays, that have all you can eat crab which I don't particularly recommend. It is not best in crab. The prime rib is far better. Breakfast here is great and exactly what you what on a cold Winter morning. read more

This time while visiting Wyoming, we had dinner at Oxbow. We ordered rib-eyes and they were very tasty, great service and rustic atmosphere. Not only do they have great breakfast but dinner as well. read more

One of the few sit down restaurants in Lander where you can get breakfast. Have visited many times & the service and food is good. Affordable. Restaurant is starting to show it's age but still acceptable. read more

We stayed at the motel on site and ate here for dinner. They have a variety of "down-home" choices, chicken fried chicken was decent, salad bar, homeade desserts-pies mostly...typical southern style diner. Service was okay, not great because it was all teenagers, but still okay. We would eat here again. read more

Wife and I had a wonderful meal after a long day of traveling. Her steak was tender and flavorful. The ribs were good but the Green Chili was wonderful. Wait staff was friendly and prompt. read more

Poor, uncaring, slow service. The toast was burned for both of us. The waitress was talking to someone sitting at the stools instead of coming by for a coffee refill or check on our satisfaction. We asked person cleaning nearby table for our waitress. By this time, our breakfast was consumed except for the burned toast. Don't recall an apology but a comment about the toast going through a rotisserie too many times. Why serve burned food? Why take over ten minutes to return with relacement toast? I think because we are not locals or regulars. read more

We were just passing through and we decided to stop for dinner. It was amazing!! I had the green chili and the salad bar. My kids had the double cheese burger. And both of them ate the whole . read more

Food was meh. I would not eat here again. I will state I ordered to-go food but that does not excuse the food. Cheeseburger had a slice of cheese that looked like a Kraft single, fries were barely cooked and burger itself was ok. Ordered a shake that was given in what appeared to be an 8oz drink cup, not worth the price and I watched an employee eat what was left of my shake behind the counter. read more

I'm sorry but the French onion soup had enough salt in it to cure a pig. The chicken fried chicken was a frozen pattie reheated to much and the mash potatoes and gravy were to only thing good and they were plain. The two stars are for the wait staff that were friendly and quick. That's all I can say. read more

Great value! Nice family restaurant. Clean and just good food. Can't go wrong. Try the soup bar. We loved it.

It always disappoints me that when tourists drive through town, this place is what they choose since it's at a major intersection. If you like the "crisco cafe" you'll like this place. They do an OK job on breakfast but that's about it. I guess if fat gram overload is your thing, you'll like everything else too. read more

Who knew? Seven states in 12 days on a motorcycle, with meals ranging from nonexistent, to barely sustaining fast food, to expensive and highly rated *cuisine*, and one of the best meals -- definitely the best costing under $20 for two hungry adults -- was a late Sunday morning breakfast at the Oxbow on 8/9/15. Service was great: seated right away; and server was too busy to bother us needlessly, but regularly refilled coffee cups and made sure we had all that we wanted. At my partner's suggestion, I enjoyed an excellent Belgian waffle: lightly crisp on the outside but pleasantly cushy on the inside. Scrambled eggs on the side were fluffy and fine, no nasty bits of unmixed white or uncooked yolk. But his breakfast was, well, it was what a breakfast should be if you're a hardworking ranch hand or something. But he's not, so he had enough food to share with me: two slices of meaty bacon, cooked to crisp/chewy perfection; two sausages nicely browned, with flavor that even a sausage hater could love; two slices of real, flavorful ham; two eggs, over easy (I didn't make him share those); hot and crispy hash browns; and the two most beautiful pancakes that I have ever seen in my life, spanning the full diameter of a 10-inch plate and each one nearly an inch thick at the center. Whether or not they were made from scratch, they sure tasted like it. Oh, and the server brought plenty of butter and syrup at the outset, so we didn't have to stop and ask for more. And besides the ubiquitous red Tabasco, the Oxbow had our personal favorite egg treatments, Cholula and green Tabasco. I can't remember what that order was called, but it was listed near the top of the breakfast page for, I think, $9.25. The only sad part of this story is that I am unlikely to pass through Lander again anytime soon. But if I do, I will stop at the Oxbow for breakfast! read more

This is honestly not the best restaurant. So my family we are on vacation and we had just spent 13 hours in our car so we checked into a hotel and we started looking for restaurants to eat at then we find The Oxbow Restaurant and the reviews were good so we went in and the waiter seemed nice but then all of a sudden she started getting really sassy because we wanted to sit at a table and I kid you not she rolled her eyes at us and said sure ! So now we are sitting down at our Table and we are being friendly and ask a person eating their steak next to us and we ask if it is good and they say and I quote " Not Bad" like I would have been expected it is actually pretty good like wow! I ordered the New York steak and ask for it medium well and when it came out and I'm not gonna lie it actually looked juicy but then when I cut into it it was very dry and then when I turned it over the whole bottom was burnt ! And the steak didn't even have a good taste ! And It is sad to say that the best part of my meal was the salad! I do not recommend this restaurant at all ! read more

The food is so good. I am from out of town visiting my family and they introduced me to the Oxbow. I highly recommend it.

The service was fantastic!! Food was amazing after driving all day!! Large variety and very family friendly. Would definitely stop in here again!! read more

I only went here once and the salad bar was great, i'm only giving it 4 stars because the service sucked outloud, they forgot we were there and the food off the menu wasn't all that wonderful tasting. read more
