Places to eat in Laramie?

Recommended Posts

The 17th Street Cafe near Washington Park or the J's Prairie Rose downtown are good for breakfast. 

Born in a Barn, Crowbar or Altitude Chop House downtown. Turtle Rock Cafe, right across the street from campus. McAlister's Deli on Grand has somewhat of a chain feel but it's a great place for lunch. Alibi Pizza is good. 

If you want to catch some scenery, drive out to Centennial (27 miles) and try the Bear Bottom. Matty the bartender is a great guy.

Checked out the downtown Laramie webcam after the game last night and it was hopping. Big crowd in front of the Buckhorn, which must have been crazy. Looked like a sellout, or close to it, at the WAR and the crowd was really into it.

Life is always better when Howdy Doody and the Zoomies get their asses kicked. Svoboda looked very good last night.

You have to cut the SUDS fan a little slack.   It is only since they built their own stadium that any of them started to become more serious fans and follow their team.

It does seem like we found a decent pizza joint in Laramie a few years ago.  I was hoping for something at least disguised as authentic Old West food like Navajo Fry Bread smothered with Green Chili, but Laramie seemed to mostly be fast food like every small city in the West.  Same slop, different location.

It's the same 10000 football fans they've had for decades. Even 10 years of great football didn't convert many, if any, to attend when the team is down. There are now far more basketball fans (for obvious reasons).

There are numerous downtown options that are not anywhere close to "fast food." If you're close to campus, I'd recommend the 17th Street Cafe, the former Rainbow Grocery. Excellent food, informal atmosphere. Two blocks south of Grand.

17th Street Cafe went away after the owner passed away some time ago..  It's now an Hawaiian burger spot...

Best food in town is the Alibi. Great Neopolitan pizza and lots of good stuff on their fresh baked breads. Prairie Rose, Born In a Barn, and Crow Bar are pretty good bets. If Off the Hook's truck is out'n'about their fish & chips are solid. The grill inside the Hilton is actually pretty good. Rib & Chop is consistent, but a bit over-rated, as is Double-Dubs Wings (another truck)...

Uh, I was just at the 17th Street Cafe two months ago. I can assure you it is operating.

If you are game for a scenic drive, the Bear Bottom in Centennial has excellent pizza and good food as well.
