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:
Tucked away in the tiny town of Dubois, as well as in the town of Sheridan...

... lies hidden gems worthy of a road trip from any corner of the state, and that’s the Cowboy Café.
The location in Dubois opened its doors in 1993.

And they’ve been quite a popular Dubois neighborhood restaurant ever since.
Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner seven days a week, there’s truly not a bad thing on the menu.

This tried and true favorite Wyoming dish features 8-ounces of chicken fried steak that's smothered with a mouthwateringly good white gravy.
This hearty favorite really hits the spot.

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.
