The Wyoming Restaurant With Cowboy Roots That Date Back To The 1800s

Love dining out? We feel ya. The next time you’re in the mood for a perfectly cooked steak, head to one of the oldest steakhouses in Wyoming for a meal to remember!

The Cavalryman Steakhouse in Laramie is one of the most historic restaurants in the state.

It stands on the grounds of the former Fort Sanders, an Army outpost designed to protect travelers and settlers along the dangerous Overland Trail.

Today, the Cavalryman is one of the remaining places on the Fort's grounds that still shows signs of life. The restaurant is busy and bustling and serves up some of the best food in the state.

Stepping inside is a bit like stepping into a museum. There are photos and relics on the wall that tell the tale of the restaurant's past.

The elegant dining room balances rustic charm with classy vibes, and you'll immediately realize you are in for an elevated dining experience.

Start off with a cocktail from their full bar. There's always something unique on the menu if you're willing to try something new!

As you can tell by the name, the Cavalryman is a top-notch steakhouse. They serve some of the most flavorful and tender cuts of beef you can find!

The side dishes are all prepared fresh and pair perfectly with each melt-in-your-mouth bite of steak.

If you're not a big red meat eater, don't fret! You can try a seafood dish or a pasta dish and you're sure to have the same incredible culinary experience.

Perhaps the most renowned of the dishes served here is the fry bread, which takes inspiration from recipes shared by the area's indigenous people.

Save room for dessert and treat yourself to something sweet! Each handmade skillet dessert is the perfect way to indulge after your meal.
