Cheyenne, the capital of Wyoming, is a city that loves its barbecue, and there are plenty of local restaurant options in town. Check out these three barbecue restaurants in the area.
Tasty Bones BBQ & Bakery
Tasty Bones BBQ & Bakery is one of the highest rated and most popular barbecue spots in town. The menu is loaded with specialty options you won’t find at any other restaurant, such as Hog Fries — pulled pork–topped fries with barbecue sauce — and lumpia, which is a Filipino egg roll. But these are just the appetizers. You can get a sandwich, barbecue platter, or some Filipino cuisine for your entrée. If you’re coming for meat, try the St. Louis Ribs or Pulled Pork platters. The Cheyenne Burger or Hog Trough are good choices for sandwiches.
Aside from amazing barbecue and Filipino options, one thing that sets Tasty Bones BBQ & Bakery apart is the fact that you can order a custom cake or cupcakes here. If you just want dessert to go with your meal, try the banana pudding or mud cake. Halo-Halo and Leche Flan are also available. The shop offers catering services, as well.
You can find Tasty Bones BBQ & Bakery at 4533, 1719 Central Ave. in Cheyenne. The shop opens daily at 11 a.m. It closes at 8 p.m. on weekdays and Saturdays. It closes at 2 p.m. every Sunday.
AB BBQ
AB BBQ is another popular and top-rated option in the city, but you have to be in town at the right time — the shop is only open from April to October. If you’re visiting during this time, you’ll certainly want to stop by this unassuming restaurant to enjoy some exceptional barbecue.
The menu is straightforward. You can get half- or quarter-pounds of beef or pork or half- or full-racks of ribs. Pulled pork and beef brisket sandwiches are also available. Each meal comes with two sides, sauce, and bread. Homemade desserts are made nightly, so the selection varies.
AB BBQ is part of A.B. Camping in Cheyenne — an RV park and campground. The park is at 1503 W College Dr., and you can find the barbecue joint across from the main office. You can get a meal here from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., on any day except Sundays, when the shop is open for the season.
Meat @ Kennison’s
Meat @ Kennison’s is another casual barbecue option in Cheyenne. You can order a BBQ Bowl, which includes a slow-roasted meat with mashed potatoes, sweet corn, and onions with red BBQ sauce. Your other barbecue entrée options are a Single Plate, a Date Plate, or The Trough. The latter is a family-sized special that includes three eight-ounce portions of beef, pork, or turkey. You also get four sides, two biscuits, and two slices of cornbread with this order.
Find Meat @ Kennison’s at 3405 County Road 215. It’s open Tuesday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Make sure you bring an appetite with you the next time you’re passing through Wyoming’s capital. Cheyenne loves its local barbeque, and if these options don’t suit your needs, you can visit a few chain restaurants, instead.
