2.5 of 5 stars 6 Reviews
Price range: 8 AUD - 30 AUD
Dining options: Breakfast/Brunch, Lunch Spot, Dinner, Reservations
Description: The Cavalryman Steakhouse is located on the grounds of historic Fort Sanders, established in July of 1866. In its heyday, the Fort Sanders Military Reservation protected the Overland and Lodgepole Creek emigrant routes, the Denver-Salt Lake City stage route, and the construction crews for the Union Pacific Railroad. Ruins of the fort’s powder keg are visible just southwest of the restaurant’s main building. The Cavalryman building was constructed in 1925 to serve as the clubhouse for the local country club. Just to the east, remnants of the nine-hole golf course can still be found.

“Great!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 April 2013

After reading the other reviews, I was not sure about giving this a try, but we're visiting Laramie for the first time so wanted to try to something local. We weren't disappointed - great food, great service, reasonable time to get our food even with a really large group right ahead of us. And fun atmosphere for a steakhouse. Management... More

“Just not what I expected”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 March 2013

We looked forward to going to the "new" Cav having been fans of the original restaurant. It was somewhat of a disappointment. The interior is still a bit "in the process" and it just was not up to the quality of the cost of the meals. I had the 12 oz prime rib, and I question if it was a... More

Dear Michele, We agree that the restaurant is still not where it needs to be. We’re working hard to finish the interior: we’re preparing the old entrance to become the new entrance, we’re re-opening the traditional bar (upstairs), and we’re replacing/refinishing various fixtures inside; when it warms up, we’ll focus on the outside, too. That said, it seems to take... More

We made reservations a week ago by the fireplace which we did get seated right away at a table by the fire it was nice and cozy. Took along time to get even a glass of water. Once we got water we ordered drinks which took quit a while to get. We did finally place our order which we were... More

Thanks for coming in - and sorry your experience wasn't excellent. You're correct - we are in the process of revitalizing the restaurant. In December, we took over the historic property and it needed a lot of work. Since your visit, we've been able to expand our server staff and advance their training. While we're not yet up to a...

“Take your rent money, several good books, and a stomach pump.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2013

This is the worst place I have eaten at in YEARS on a multitude of levels (service, food, value). For starters (no pun intended), I asked for the hummus with fresh veggies w/pita for my appetizer. After 15", our came back and explained that hummus wasn’t on the menu anymore (it was still on their website the same night, however),... More

Dear Friend, As local minority owners in the restaurant we have also been frustrated by its decline over the past few years. We recently reached an agreement to take a controlling interest in the business and we're now returning it to its rightful place as an historic Wyoming steakhouse. You can follow our progress at our Facebook page and our... More

“I'm so sad right now I could cry.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2013

I've been going to the Cav for as long as I've been in Laramie, over three years. I go there at LEAST once a year, always around this time, and I've never, ever EVER been disappointed. Exactly a year ago I had the most amazing pork loin of my life. Six months before that I had elk for the first... More

“Terrible experience...”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2013

We typically dine at The Cav every time we travel to Laramie. While our dining experience in October was not a good one, we decided to give them the benefit of the doubt. However, our terrible experience this week can not be overlooked. The restaurant was not busy; we had a reservation. There was only one server who was also... More
