The Middle Fork

Love a place that cares about what they are creating. The gluten free blueberry French toast was soooooo spot on. Bacon and poached egg cooked perfectly. The server, Jaimie, was excellent, attentive and warm. A nicely done cafe in a historic building and a welcoming vibe. Would go out of my way to go back in the food-desert of Wyoming. They have something good going here. PS, would love to see local honey used. PPS, the fresh squeezed orange juice is a treat!

This review is long overdue! I am truly blown away by the people who work at this restaurant; they went above and beyond for my husband and I. I did a travel nursing assignment in Lander, Wyoming and we visited this restaurant frequently throughout the six-week period. The food was always great! We loved everything we ordered, hence why we kept returning. We were especially fond of their Hungarian mushroom soup, which they made one week. We went back three days in a row to get this soup, but on day three they ran out! In the following days, we probably called about 15 times to ask if they were serving this soup, or if they were going to make it again in the near future. We called so much that everyone knew us by name. The last time we called, we told them that we were leaving soon and they actually offered to make some more just for us! We were so happy! These kind people did not just make us one bowl either, they made us an entire GALLON to take home and they also gave us the recipe with a kind note attached! Thank you so much Friends of the Middle Fork, you guys are truly one of a kind. Our world needs more people like you!

Amazing breakfast! We were here visiting from NH and are used to some pretty great diners. This was by far the best breakfast we have had in a long time. We highly recommend the banana bread french toast, the Huevos Ranchero!! Biscuits and Gravy were FANTASTIC! Staff was friendly and the place was very clean.

Very pleasant place to enjoy breakfast or lunch. The food choices are diverse and appealing. They offer both indoor and outdoor dining options, however, the outdoor is very popular during the summer and you need to arrive early to get a spot.
I ordered the baked chili huevos, a scrumptious combination of chorizo, potatoes, chili and corn tortillas topped by eggs prepared to your preference.
If you are spending a few days in or near Lander, I would put this place on your Must Dine There list.
Other than the service being a bit slow due to the overflow of customers wanting to dine there, I have nothing but good things to say about The Middle Fork.

Wow! What can I say about this place?! I just had an incredible chorizo hash alongside their rooibos tea and finished off with some bites of the caramel pecan cinnamon bun (is this thing legal?!). Just the breakfast I needed after a cold night camping in the park here in Lander. Thankful to Jennifer for her stellar service and for patiently accommodating my many requests as I bring myself back to balance at the Middle Fork before hitting the road again. Until next time!

Food was top notch, had a Bahn Mi for breakfast with an egg on top. Great atmosphere outside with a little stream trickling as you ate and NO BUGS! Classy service and a real charming place. Filled us up and for a fair price. You won’t be disappointed!

Fantastic food, great ambiance and service. Everything is scratch made and it really makes a difference. Wonderful use of local ingredients. Local sourced bacon in my BLT and they even do a French fry sauce with garlic aioli combined with their homemade ketchup. Highly recommended.

Best little rssturant in Lander. Their coffee is amazing. The food is delightful. The service is always good. What more can be said? Lots! If you are ever in Lander, stop in for breakfast, lunch, or even brunch. The servings are good portion sizes. Definitely give the specials or the soup of the day a try. Whatever you order, you won't be disappointed.

First and likely last time..
For a Restaurant that only serves breakfast and lunch I had hoped for better. Had the biscuit n gravy, eggs n bacon as well as some of the eggs benedict. Overall bland sausage gravy with sausage that was somewhat rubbery, could hardly tell the biscuit was there and soggy.. hollandaise sauce did not taste right or good.. eggs were over-done and crispy on the edge (a no no for restaurant eggs) toast was burnt.

We did a breakfast phn order/take-out for 3 people, which cost over $45 and that did not include any drinks.. took another 10 min after we arrived to get our food, pay and leave.. we were prompt for our pick-up at the correct time stated but food was soggy and cold even though we live less than 5 min away.

Oh, one good thing.. the bacon was excellent, but I only got one piece. Overall I felt it was a mediocre meal that cost way to much.

Still love the patio and creek, just miss the ice cream shop that used to be here. It's clear this place is catering to newly arrived transplants and tourists. I'm glad Lander has multiple options for breakfast.

Has a business meeting here, and the food was delicious. The service was also great! I ate a jerk chicken sandwich. Their homemade fry sauce was also wonderful.
