Sweet Melissa Café and Front Street Tavern

$$

If you need a break from steaks and burgers (or if meat is never your thing) this charming downtown café is the local spot for vegetarian and vegan eats, as well as carefully crafted cocktails brought right to your table from the adjoining tavern. The menu is extensive and diverse, with Asian, Mexican, and Mediterranean influences, and with a good selection of desserts and a menu for kids, too. Front Street has a "historic pub" feel and offers a long list of signature and classic cocktails, as well as wines, beers, and various types of liquor—even absinthe.

307-742–9607
Known For
  • Clearly labeled vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options
  • Delicious cauliflower "wings"
  • Tasty cocktails, reasonably priced

Wyoming's Rib and Chop House

$$$
This fun and casual small chain has some of the best ribs, steaks, and seafood you'll find in the state. The portions are eye-popping in size, and there's a good selection of sides and desserts, plus a full bar. The atmosphere is more sports bar than traditional steak house, and with a location right by the stadium, the place often brings in a young crowd. Brunch is offered on the weekends.

307-460–9090
Known For
  • Baby back ribs, marinated for 24 hours
  • Hand-cut rib eyes
