    pesto chicken sandwich
    AmyLiccet N.

    Overall it was all pretty yummy. I will say the fish and chips were the hot item that my friend got and the cheese curd appetizers. I got the chicken pesto sandwich and it was also pretty good. Specially after a camping weekend the food all tasted really good. The upstairs dining outside was gorgeous and fun. It did take a minute for our food but it was a holiday weekend so it was busy. overall would recommend!

    Fried pickles and Beet Salad
    Abigail R.

    I really enjoyed stopping in and visiting here. Main Street in Pinedale is a really lovely area. With Wind River Brewing being no different. They had a diverse beer selection, I enjoyed the Ginger Ninja and Mango beer, a large menu that spanned from a good wholesome salad to the greasy bar food you just need sometime. The fried pickles were the big hit for me, the portion size was huge and they were delicious. My partner loved his brisket quesadilla and lamented that he couldn't eat it all. And everything was very much kiddo approved. It can definitely get busy in here, so don't come if you're in a time crunch. But if you can sit down, enjoy good food, with good company, in a good restaurant. Look no further.

    Ordered chips and salsa for $8, ended up with the bottom of the bag (crushed up chips) ....

    After a day of hiking and the choice to cook at our campsite or eat here, we decide "there's beer here." And it turns out to be really GOOD beer, My boyfriend got a flight with PPML Cerveza (Mexican style beer with mango, prickly pear and citrus), Ginger Ninja (ginger, honey and fresh lemon), Octoberfest (solid German beer) and Out of Order Porter (a desert worth rich dark). All were great with the first 2 being outstanding and unique. The food highlight for me where the jalapeño poppers - not the fried, dried out one but homemade jalapeño stuffed with garlic chive cream cheese and wrapped in BACON. Worth the stop here. We also had the Mediterranean Salad (like an enhanced Greek salad) with perfectly grilled chicken ( moist and flavorful). And the clam chowder which thick and full of flavor (maybe a little light on the clams). There were great looking sandwiches in the menu but I wasn't that hungry. The service was fast and friendly, offers us additional sauces if needed. The atmosphere is like most brew pubs - high ceilings, dark wood accents and large screen TVs. It's more open than some brew pubs and is definitely family friend. There is also a bar that has a comfortable vibe and they offer full food service. Solid option if you're in the area and want a casual sit down meal that won't break the bank or a tasty local brew. They also offer takeout if you're on the go including growlers for the beer.

    Mac and cheese

    The Mac and Cheese was great. The lady was nice but took a bit to get refills but all good. But over all a great place to eat and chill.

    We love to take fishing trips in the area and always stop here. Good beer selection and nice menu. Friendly staff, quick service. Plenty of seating. I highly recommend.

    I love Lander Brewing Company, and I normally don't like burgers that much. But oh my goodness,…read moretheir burgers are messy, gooey, deliciousness. I love the outdoor dining area because I have a toddler, so it's easier to keep him entertained on the patio. If you order a beverage, be warned - they make them strong! I'm a gin-and-soda gal, and wow! They do not scrimp on the gin. I couldn't even finish my drink, or else I'd have found a lampshade to put on my head and establish myself as the new town drunk. Let's see, I've eaten here three times and had a different burger each time. So far? They've all been good. And their fries are great too. It's not a sit-down restaurant, so just be aware you'll have to wait in line to order, and since this place is awesome - sometimes the line is long. It's worth it though. Trust me!

    This place was about 30 minutes from our hotel in Riverton, WY, but we wanted to try it so we hit…read morethe road and checked it out. We were seated immediately at about 6:30pm on a Thursday and greeted very politely. The ambiance here was great, service was very attentive and the beer was their own brew. I had their Cow Crustacean and my wife had the Red Miso Corvina Sea Bass. Their On Belay IPA was a nice addition for our meals. The reason for the 4 star is because the steak I had could have been seasoned better with more of a char being cooked rare, a good crust is a must. My wife's sea bass was kind of sitting in a liquid which made it a little more soggy but still good. I'd recommend giving it a try and if we weren't from out of town, we'd go back.

Can't say much about the interior, as we sat at one of the picnic tables outside. A server came and gave us all some water and took our drink order. After the drinks (sodas) came out, she took our order. Soon after, our food was served. Hubs and I both got burgers. Each had 2 juicy, but not greasy smash burger patties with just the right amount of seasonings and toppings. That's right--juicy smash burger patties. Is that possible? It is at Melvin Brewing. My mom got the fish tacos. She said they were delicious, just messy. Too much aioli in her opinion, but she wouldn't be mad if we ate there again during our stay. Kids were going to get burgers, too, but they saw the pretzel on the app menu and each had to get one. The pretzels are huge. They came with queso and IPA brown mustard. (The kids turned their noses at the mustard, but it was a great addition to my burger.). The queso wasn't chunky, but had some spice to it, but it wasn't overly spicy. If the queso came out of a can or jar, we couldn't tell.

    The burger was AMAZING!! Probably the best I've ever had!!…read more Service was friendly and fast. The smell walking up to the restaurant was puzzling but then I realized it is a brewery and I was probably smelling that process. Good location that would've had an even better view had the lake not been dried up.

I'd definitely come back and try more beer and food!
