Restaurant · Cody, Wyoming

The Local

How to book: Reservations advisable for a small independent on busy summer nights. ⚠ Confirm current address, hours, days, and reservation policy on the official/booking listing — small-independent details shift.

Best meal: Dinner — a seasonal, locally sourced plate for a more contemporary night than the town's steakhouses.

Who it’s NOT for: Big-appetite steak-and-supper-club diners — the menu is seasonal and ingredient-forward, not a classic Western steakhouse. Budget travelers wanting the cheapest meal in town — from-scratch/local sourcing prices above the casual spots. Anyone wanting a lively music/dancing scene — this is a sit-down dining room (see Cassie's for that). Travelers who need year-round certainty — hours/season for a small independent can shift; confirm before relying on it.
