Cheyenne Restaurants and Dining

(Cheyenne, Wyoming - WY, USA)

Downtown Cheyenne contains some of the capital's most popular restaurants, with a good selection of dining establishments being located along or nearby the Lincoln Highway (east and west). Eateries are particularly plentiful around Carey Avenue, Central Avenue and Warren Avenue, radiating outwards from the Lincoln Movie Theaters complex.

Here you will find top dining choices such as Don Rey's Mexican Restaurant, El Charrito, the Mondello Downtown Cheyenne Pizzeria, Quiznos and Pizzeria Venti, as well as the Capitol Grille, which is an award-winning restaurant located at the Historic Plains Hotel.

The Capitol Grille offers many tasty specialties, including country fried breaded steaks, walleye thermidor and battered pangasius (shark catfish). This is also a good place to stop off for breakfast in Cheyenne, with omelets, eggs Benedict, and a choice of bacon, sausage and patties.

What to Eat

A number of local restaurants in Cheyenne specialize in traditional Wyoming 'Rocky Mountain cuisine'. This includes dishes made with natural ingredients, such as Rocky Mountain oysters, bison and smoky game meats. Many dishes are meat-based, and stir fries served with a light sauce are always a popular dining option.

Where to Eat

Although there is a convenient choice of eateries based around downtown Cheyenne, including a number close to St. Mary's Cathedral, you should also consider the numerous dining venues located around the Frontier Mall, on the northern side of the city. Based within the mall itself and lining the adjacent Dell Range Boulevard, these restaurants are ideal if you are out shopping and simply looking for a sit down and a bite to eat, or if you are planning a trip to see a movie at the Carmike Frontier 9 cinema.

Familiar dining chains based in this part of Cheyenne include the Applebee's Neighborhood Grill and Bar, Chick-fil-A, Chili's Grill and Bar, the Chipotle Mexican Grill and the Olive Garden, while slightly to the south, Stillwater Avenue is where you will find the L'Osteria Mondello Italian and also the family friendly Tortilla Factory. In the Frontier Mall's food court, fast-food and affordable sit-down meals are available at China King, Renzio's Greek Food and a brand of Subway.

If you have a special occasion to celebrate whilst in Cheyenne, then dining out at the Morris House Bistro Restaurant on Warren Avenue is a real must. Carolina-style dishes and seasonal menus are a big draw here, such as Creole grilled redfish and rack of lamb, so you may need to book ahead or opt for an early dinner.
