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.
This historic, charming restaurant stands on the grounds of Fort Sanders, which was established in 1866. By 1925, the Fort was gone, and a country club was built on this spot. The current Cavalryman was the clubhouse.
On March 1, 1970, Robert & Betty Gerard founded the Cavalryman Supper Club in its present location. Cavalryman Steakhouse quickly became known as a great western steakhouse. Marion Griffin and various partners owned and operated the restaurant from 1975 to 2005. In January 2006, a group of investors purchased the restaurant with the intent of honoring its rich tradition while modernizing the restaurant concept. In December 2012, the local managing partner acquired the business and revitalized this historic steakhouse.
