20 Best Restaurants in Cody, Sheridan, and Northern Wyoming, Wyoming
Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Cody, Sheridan, and Northern Wyoming right now.
Although not every community here has the eclectic mix of dining options common in more urban areas, there are plenty of small restaurants and local cafés with inimitable appeal. The larger communities often have several ethnic eateries from which to choose, serving everything from traditional Mexican and Native American specialties to Old World Italian and modern Korean dishes. The real strength of the region’s dining, however, lies with the basics. In almost any small-town watering hole you can order up some of the freshest and best-tasting beef and buffalo in the world. Whether it’s prime rib and mashed potatoes with sunflower bread or charred rib eye with corn on the cob, the area’s best meals are simple yet filled with a flavor found only in the West.

The Virginian Restaurant
Named for the 1902 Owen Wister novel that made Buffalo famous, this is the dining salon of the beautifully restored Occidental Hotel. Dishes made from organic beef range from buffalo rib eye to chateaubriand and filet mignon with béarnaise sauce. Further delights include shrimp scampi, swordfish, and chicken marsala, all served amid the splendor of antique mirrors, Western art, and Victorian lamps; many fixtures are from the original building. Period lamps light the 19th-century brass-color tin ceiling, and wainscoting accents the maroon-colored walls. There's also a kids' menu, and starry-eyed couples can dine in candlelit seclusion within the old Stockmen's bank vault.

8th Street at the Ivy
Bozeman Stable Grillroom and Saloon
A wood-slat building with a false front and tin roof, this is the oldest operating bar in Wyoming, established in 1882. The inn's only sign is painted on a mock covered wagon that's perched above the door. The kitchen serves standard burgers and sandwiches for lunch, steak and seafood for dinner, and prime rib on weekends.
Bozeman Trail Steakhouse
This eatery, which is literally on the Bozeman Trail, serves decent food, from chicken, taco, and Cobb salads to local favorites such as prime-rib melts and club sandwiches or bison steak, burgers, and king-cut prime-rib plates amid Western memorabilia. You can also dine outdoors on the deck and sip from the large selection of microbrews.
Brandin' Iron
This homey diner-style grill is a local favorite, where folks come for the kind of down-home cooking that sticks to your ribs: biscuits and gravy, ham-steak eggs Benedict, chicken-fried steaks, and shrimp scampi. For lighter meals, consider the several sandwich and salad options.
Cody Steak House
This handsome, clubby-feeling restaurant along Cody's main drag is a favorite of carnivores, but there's also a surprising variety of internationally inspired seafood and poultry dishes, including prawns with a spicy mango-jalapeño salsa. Among the meatier fare, consider the 16-ounce hand-cut buffalo rib-eye or 18-ounce T-bone Angus beef steak.
Eggingtons
Hong Kong
Lunches here are served fast and cheap (between $7 and $8) and include more than 30 different dishes, such as Mongolian beef and cashew chicken. They're popular with the business crowd, so you might want to avoid the noon lunch rush.

P.O. News & Flagstaff Cafe
Pat O'Hara Brewing Company Pub & Grill
Pizza Place
A casual atmosphere and good food come together at this downtown eatery. Pizza, calzones, and sub sandwiches made with homemade bread are on the menu, and there's also a salad bar.
Plains Trading Post
Antique furnishings and portions of old bank buildings set the scene at this restaurant, where the menu is diverse but basic—chicken, burgers, steaks—and the portions are large. It's open 24 hours a day, a rarity even in the larger cities.
