The Best Restaurant in Cody, Sheridan, and Northern Wyoming, Wyoming

Background Illustration for Restaurants

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.

$$$ Fodor's Choice
This hip neighborhood bistro a block off Cody's main drag serves some of the most creative fare in town—consider the starter of pork belly sliders with a kicky habanero-lingonberry aioli, followed by cured duck leg confit served on a bed of mascarpone-polenta with a cherry gastrique. There's also a full bar serving first-rate craft cocktails, like the Smoky Buck with mezcal, wood-fired strawberries, and lime. On warm days you can dine on the streetside patio.
