Kansas City has its BBQ, California has its rolls ... but when it comes to cuisine, Wyoming has always been a challenge to pin down. In fact, many nationally-ranked publications along the eastern seaboard have simply labeled Wyoming's state food as fry bread. Or more generically, as wild game. While we don't disagree with either of those (it's all delicious!), there are a number of restaurants throughout the state that have stirred up a local following for standout dishes that are a little more specific. Of course, there are plenty of options to choose from, from the chicken fried steaks at J's Prairie Rose to the iconic steaks at Million Dollar Cowboy Bar. But one vibrant eatery in Laramie serves up a delightfully divine entrée that gets ecstatic diners lining up at the door — no menu needed. Check out Altitude Chophouse in Laramie, home to the best meatloaf in Wyoming:
At Altitude Chophouse in Laramie, modern and rustic décor combine to create a beautiful brewpub space that is as comfortable and cozy as it is lively and perfect for all occasions.
Diners come from miles around to enjoy the tasty menu options here, from classics like perfectly cooked burgers, short ribs, and pork belly nachos to creative options like bacon wontons, venison chili, blackened pork medallions, and everything in between.
The menu is always changing to feature new and exciting options and limited-time specials.
But those in the know — and those who have paid at least one visit to Altitude before — know that the Lamb and Green Chili Meatloaf is WHERE IT'S AT.
This beautiful creation comes rubbed in Altitude's smoky signature cowboy rub, has a dash of spice thanks to green chili, and is sprinkled with a healthy dose of fried onion strings for some tantalizing texture.
For those who can't make it to Altitude for dinner or want to experience the "magic of the meatloaf" without the full-service commitment, Altitude occasionally switches things up by offering sandwich versions of their beloved meatloaf.
Sometimes it's served over shredded lettuce and roasted poblano, topped with melted cheddar cheese and a house-made Fresno pepper ketchup …
… other times in hefty portions on toasted French bread with cheddar, onions, tomato, and spicy ketchup. Or even with steak sauce aioli and an onion ring on buttered and toasted wheat!
Of course, meatloaf isn't the only menu item that has earned Altitude a spot on the map. The renowned Salmon Burger also gets high marks, along with the Cowboy Tacos, mac & cheese, steaks, beer cheese soup ... let's just say you really can't go wrong here.
The drinks are on point too! (It's a microbrewery after all.)
But whatever you do, be sure to order the Lamb and Green Chili Meatloaf to see for yourself why locals can't get enough.
