The drive

How far it is from wherever you are

US-85 is the quiet north–south route through eastern Wyoming. If you're on it, you go past our front door.

Torrington · ~20 minutes

Straight down 85. Torrington and Lingle treat us as their steakhouse, which is the compliment we're proudest of.

Cheyenne · a little over an hour

North on 85 the whole way. An easy dinner run, and a lot of people make it one.

Denver · about two hours

Roughly two hours from Denver International. Enough of a drive to arrive hungry, short enough to do on a Saturday.

Scottsbluff · under an hour

Across from the Nebraska panhandle. The state line has never stopped anybody who wanted prime rib.

Heading for the Black Hills?

85 north through Lusk and Newcastle is the direct line. We're the last proper sit-down meal for a long stretch of it.

Hawk Springs Reservoir · minutes

Fishing and camping just up the road. Come in off the water — nobody here minds what you're wearing.
