    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.

    The burgers and beer are great to coincide with a nice view of the wind river mountains.

    First let's set some expectations, this isn't a restaurant and it doesn't serve fondue. However the…read moresimple dinner service they offer is delicious and it's a unique dining experience. The whole affair is outdoors seating and cooking etc. with plenty of room for big groups. It can be confusing if it's your first time so be patient and expect a leisurely meal with time between courses. If you're visiting Pinedale this is worth the time to go.

    If you are in or close to Pinedale and want to experience something different and fun for dinner…read moreyou should definitely check this place out. I have over 2,000,000 miles flying for business and I have traveled all over the world and honestly I've never seen a place like this. Casual place not fancy in the least. Just wear what you feel comfortable in. All outdoors. They shut down mid-Sept. You sit at picnic tables under large tents. They have 3 Corn hole sets you can play before, during or after eating. They serve tea and lemonade. You can BYO beer, wine, soda etc. Coolers w iced drinks...yea bring it. Its encouraged. You are welcome to stay as long as you want eating, drinking, talking and playing corn hole while looking at the Wind River Range. The place is exactly what its name says. They cook the food on pitchforks dipped in hot oil over a fire like a giant fondue. Literally everything except the salad, melon and dinner rolls is cooked in those hot oil vats. It starts with all you can eat, fresh made potato chips cooked in the vats. Then they bring you dinner rolls and kettle cooked bison brats. This is all basically appetizers. Meanwhile you are free to go make a simple salad with choice of dressings and choose from an assortment of fresh melon chunks (as much as you want). Then they take your order for dinner. You choose either Sirloin Steak, Chicken or Trout. All will be cooked in the hot oil vats. My wife got trout and I got the Steak (medium rare thank you) and we shared so we both had surf and turf. You get a potato. You get fried onions if you want them. If you have kids and they don't want the steak/chicken/trout they can have a hot dog cooked in the vats with or without bun. They have like six different sauces you can put on any or all of your food. After dinner you get your choice of a brownie or a Lemon Bar. To me the brownie was what I would call a chocolate Texas Sheet Cake. Both had powdered sugar sprinkled over. I had the brownie. Whatever you want to call it...it was dang good. My wife likes Lemon more than chocolate so she had the Lemon Bar. She said it was OK/Good And that is the entire menu. The people are SUPER friendly. It is run by a family and it feels like you were invited to their backyard for a cookout. Nobody would confuse this with "Fine Dining" but honestly, if you want Fine Dining this isn't the place. Everything was good/very good. Really didn't have anything that we were not happy with. Everything described is included for the fixed price. (was $38+tax) per adult, no idea what kids cost) The food is a 4/5, the people are a 5/5 and the relaxed/fun dinner experience is a 5/5 I highly recommend this place if what you read above sounds fun/interesting to you. We would go back when we visit Pinedale again for sure. Great for a family get together or group of friends.
