While chicken fried steak isn’t specific to Wyoming, we have certainly made it our own. You’ll see it on many menus peppered throughout the state, but none of them compare to the Cowboy Café In Dubois, Wyoming (there's another location in Sheridan, too) which has some of the best chicken fried steak in the state. Let’s check it out:

Especially on a cold day during the winter in Wyoming.

Just be sure to leave some room for dessert, because Cowboy Café also has some of the most incredible pies you’ve ever tasted.

They always rotate new flavors in, so you’ll have to come back again and again to try them all, but some of our favorites include cherry, pumpkin, and strawberry rhubarb.

Wyoming's small towns each have their own secrets - incredible bookstores, wonderful steakhouses, and even wildlife museums that pop up seemingly in the middle of nowhere. One thing that lots of Wyoming's small towns can brag about is that their bakeries are the old-fashioned kind where bakers rise early in the morning and practice their craft daily, providing communities with the best baked goods around. One such spot, The Bread Doctor, is tucked away in Torrington and it's a must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth.

You won't ever feel like the portions are skimpy, either. Their "individual" cheesecake can easily feed a couple... but that doesn't mean you have to share.
