Wyoming has several iconic dishes that would make anyone in the Cowboy State drool. From Chokecherry Jam to bison burgers, we sure do know our way around the culinary landscape. 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.

For more information, be sure to check out the Cowboy Café website, as well as the Cowboy Café - Dubois, WY Facebook Page and the Cowboy Café - Sheridan, WY Facebook Page.

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.
