4 Best Restaurants in Dubois, Jackson Hole and Northwest Wyoming

Never underestimate a steak house in rural Wyoming. The Lone Buffalo offers diners a treat for the palate with delectable appetizers, homemade pasta dishes, and, of course, perfectly cooked steaks. Don't want to splurge? The Lone Buffalo also has a wide selection of burgers and sandwiches to choose from, too. 

Not only does Nana’s, which opened in 2023, offer fresh donuts and eight lanes of bowling, but it also has a full-scale diner serving up all the casual fare you’d expect at an amusement park. In fact, kids will love the arcade games and prizes. There’s also a mechanical bull and a golf simulator among other games. The owner, who also owns the National Museum of Military Vehicles down the road, goes out of his way to hire staff with special needs, and the establishment, albeit big and over-the-top, has been embraced by the community. 

Among the homemade, blue-ribbon dishes served at this small restaurant in downtown Dubois are sandwiches, steaks, buffalo burgers, chicken, pork, baby back ribs, and fish. For dessert the peach caramel crunch and chocolate bourbon pecan pie are guaranteed winners. You can also grab a hearty breakfast and sip hot coffee alongside the cowboy clientele.

This is where Dubois residents gather most mornings (they have their usual tables) for the town gossip. Although the pastry selection is lacking, it’s not bad considering there’s almost nothing else in town open at 7 am. Most people come for the coffee and espresso, but you can also order tea, fresh fruit smoothies, and Italian sodas.
