Cody5Town guide →
The 1933 supper club that Cody rallied to save — reopened April 2026 after a full remodel by five local restaurateurs, steaks and live music and dancing back on the floor. A genuine piece of Wyoming nightlife history.
Cody steakhouse and Western saloon with food-service pedigree dating to the 1930s, serving hand-cut steaks and prime rib.
Family-run Lebanese farm-to-table that got a James Beard nod and a Guy Fieri visit — the last thing you expect in a rodeo town, and the best counterprogramming to a week of burgers. Hours are limited; check before you drive over.
Buffalo Bill built this hotel in 1902 and named it for his daughter; you eat under the cherrywood bar Queen Victoria reportedly sent him. Tourist magnet, yes — but the prime rib buffet and the history earn the stop.
Chef-owner Nathan Kardos runs Cody's most ambitious kitchen — seasonal menus, bison Bolognese, wood-fired pizza, and a strong brunch before the long drive to the east entrance.
Jackson9Town guide →
Wine shop and tapas bar in one — pick a bottle off the retail shelf and drink it at the bar with house-pulled mozzarella and Spanish-Italian small plates. Perfect low-commitment dinner after a long Teton hike.
Handmade pasta and wood-fired meats at the Anvil Hotel, a few blocks off the square. The lively bar takes walk-ins when the dining room is booked out; closed for off-season mid-April to mid-May.
Serious new-style sashimi and traditional nigiri in a tiny converted blacksmith cabin — the counter-culture answer to Jackson steakhouse fatigue. Closed Sunday and Monday, so plan the itinerary around it.
Modern steakhouse on the Town Square from the Trio chefs, with in-house butchery, dry-aged steaks, and wild game. One of the few serious kitchens also open for lunch — useful between park runs.
The town's French-leaning bakery-café a block from the square — croissants, all-day breakfast, and proper espresso. Hit it early for pastries and a packed lunch before driving into the park.
Voted Jackson's best pizza since 2011 and a Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives alum — hand-tossed New York slices in a basement joint on Broadway. The budget release valve in an expensive town, open late.
James Beard-nominated and 30 years running on Town Square — the definitive Jackson splurge after a Teton day. Book ahead; the log-walled dining room and 300-bottle wine list fill fast in summer.
Jackson institution since 1977 defining classic Western dining minutes from the town square with butter-finished ribeye.
Jackson institution since 1993 grilling bison prime rib, elk tenderloin, and mixed game over open river-rock mesquite in a hunting-lodge setting.
Laramie2
Century-old Laramie steakhouse serving premium locally sourced steaks and hearty sides in a longtime community landmark.
Longtime downtown Laramie brewpub run by Wyoming natives, known for house-made porters, IPAs and a lively college-town vibe.
Little America2
A Wyoming road-trip icon for the long western Lincoln Highway haul, useful when services are spaced far apart and nostalgia matters.
Travel-center deli and grill serving travelers on I-80 for 60 years with gourmet burgers, classic sandwiches and fresh salads.
Old Faithful1
Rock Springs1
Teton Village2
Wilson2
James Beard America's Classics winner and Jackson Hole institution since 1982, famous for huevos rancheros and plate-sized pancakes.
Globally influenced kitchen inside the historic 70-year-old Stagecoach Bar, serving bibimbap, miso-glazed salmon bowls, and elk sausage.
