Wyoming is full of legendary steakhouses, but there are a handful that have been around for generations that truly cement themselves as authentic western establishments. One steakhouse – the Cavalryman – in Laramie is about as Wyoming as you can get! Not only do they make the state’s best soda bread, but their hearty steak dinners are just as filling as any chuckwagon you could find!

Cavalryman Steakhouse is a Laramie icon, and has been a great place to dine for nearly 50 years, though the building has been around for much longer.
