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

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

    Well, if you are one of the coastal elite who have invaded the cowboy town that I've spent summers…read morein for over 50 years, you might like this place, otherwise, steer clear of it. On the positive side, their outside dining space is delightful. Shady, tree filled and charming. If you simply want a place for a coffee and a chat - enjoy! Now to the food. The menu seems overthought from the get go. Constant references to local, housemade etc. It tries to sell a certain experience but completely fails to deliver. My mom and I both opted for a simple grilled cheese sandwich with a cup of tomato bisque soup. Soup was solid if on the salty side. I almost have no words for how bad the simple grilled cheese was. No butter or oil of any kind on outside of sandwich. Cheese on inside was a slice of provolone and some scattered cheddar. Not even melted through. Tasted more like stale bread than grilled in anyway. Vessel for soup had such a small top opening that it was impossible to dip without cutting the sandwich beyond halves. (Isn't dipping what you order grilled cheese and tomato soup to do?) Water was never refilled at table despite two requests when they came by to refill coffee. My friends had a quinoa bowl with poached egg on top and the other a simple cheeseburger. Neither even finished half which tells me a lot. The friend who ordered a cheeseburger decided to try their "signature " sautéed spinach instead of fries as a side. His spinach side could have fit into a teaspoon. This place might appeal to the NOLA/girls with unshaven armpits crowd but for honest, hungry people- walk away. It's just a very bad presentation of cali style casual cuisine. BTW, four of us. Two grilled cheese/cup of tomato soup plates, two coffees, one quinoa bowl and one cheeseburger with a teaspoon of spinach- 100+ Unbelievable. The more I see all the gentrification of californication of Lander, the more I hate it and unfortunately, the Middle Fork pretty much sums up what is wrong with Lander's "emerging " food scene.

    $63.30 (food - crab & corn toast, lobster bucatini. drink - Tall in the Saddle) Mulino monologue:…read more During my time in Lander, I wanted to celebrate something special at a special place. I came across Mulino and really enjoyed the information I read on their webpage (this really is a family restaurant), checked the spot out and fell in love with the open kitchen concept, the interior placement of the decor and outdoor dining option. I decided, at that moment, that this was going to be the place to celebrate! I was accompanied by 11 friends. Yup, we made an evening out of it. We sat outside and indulged in drinks - adult and kid friendly beverages, although there were no kids with us - Italian cuisine, storytelling and laughter. It was a great atmosphere and great weather for all of that. The drink and dishes that I consumed were items I never tried before. (See above for my order). So, I figured today was the day to experiment. The concept of the toast I enjoyed more than the actual item. Personal preference issue: It came out hot, which was great. I like toast, but not well done toasted bread. It was like eating a big crouton that was submerged in a dipping spread. I had to use my knife and fork to create pieces to eat. Because it was so large and hard, there were crumbs jumping everywhere. Maybe I needed a finely sharpened surgical knife for clean, precision cutting. The spread cooled quickly, which was to be expected after all the work I had to go through just to get one bite. I liked the spread better when it was hot. I think that if the spread was created and served in a cast iron dish, with a side of "croutons" to dip in it, that would have been better suited for this concept. The lobster buccatini, well, again, a personal preference issue: The sauce was tasty, the noodles were fun, the peas were, well, peas (you either like them or you don't) and I do love microgreens. I have no suggestion for what could have been done differently here; it was good, but one time was enough for me. Like I said, I just wanted to try something different. And different I did...in Lander, Wy! Oh and the drink was tasty. In all, the experience was enjoyed by all. Definitely an upgraded, large city type atmospheric restaurant, compared to what Lander has to offer (or not offer). P.S. - If you are interested in reserving space for a large party, when the restaurant opens, know that you may get some pushback (The reason for the 3 stars). If we were sitting at an open air restaurant right now, enjoying a nice brunch surrounded by people in cute brunch outfits, I would give you all the details. But in the end, it all worked out (but not before I took some deep breaths, and vented to a few folks to make sure I wasn't the crazy one. I even had to call my mother on this one. Sheesh!)

    Need to try this place! Love the music, all the staff and the fresh air (outdoor seating but they…read morekeep the one door open so fresh air all kinds). Large craft beer menu, Crimson Keep whiskey barrel aged was perfect. I came here thinking spaghetti and meatball, my Olive G fav. But I went all in on the short rib pasta. What? Yeah it's short ribs in flat spaghetti noodles! So tasty. Made my week. I'm soo glad I tried something diff for a change. You can add a salad for $3 which worked out great.

    $12.13 (food - bakery grilled cheese. drink - water) Lincoln Street Bakery monologue:…read more A bakery with a variety of options always gets my attention. At this bakery, you can choose from sweets to salads, to coffee to wine, and everything in between. On this particular day, I decided on a childhood favorite - grilled cheese. But this was the grown up version, that I had twice. Yes, that is how much I enjoyed it. If you love bread, love cheese, love pesto and tomatoes, well put that all together and you'll completely dive into the bakery grilled cheese. Put your phone down, grab some napkins and indulge. P.S. - I've been to this bakery several times. Over the course of my visits, I ordered 2 salads, bought a cookie and had 2 flavored lattes.

    Unreliable operation, poor customer service and high prices for non existing menu…read more Several times stopped by during their listed opening hours, finding their business to be closed. Last time visited, at 10am and 3/4 of their menu wasn't available, which defeats the purpose of a menu ! We made a mistake to stay and order some soup, which we received cold, because they forgot to let us know that it is ready to be picked up. The soup was absolutely watered down and tasteless, the bread was stale. Why even to run a business without reliable operating hours, lack of availability, poor food quality and non existing customer service ?!
