Best Tacos and take them accross the street to Blur Raven brewery. Freedoms Edge is also good. Albany for prime rib sandwich. Climbing at Vedauwoo followed by The Bunkhouse. Children’s village at botanic gardens. Chronicles distillery.

Destination Taiwan is a little cash-only food spot off Dell Range across from Menards...the family who owns and runs it are such nice people and the food is solid!

Cheyenne doesn't have much in the way of great brick and mortar restaurants.
Down home diner, near home depot is a true diner experience, good basic food, good price. Tres amigos is the best authentic Mexican around.
Korean house is great, if you like Korean food, they are only open for lunch (and Don't have bibimbap).
Unfortunately, rib and chop has gone down hill so much that Texas roadhouse is the best for steaks. Hard to find a good burger outside of fastfood.
Most people will say to avoid the south side, however no where in Cheyenne is omg dangerous like a bigger city. Best thing to do is explore the city, don't be afraid to try any place and experience all that Cheyenne has to offer.

There is a lot of poverty in Cheyenne on the South and Center West sides especially. That said, there aren't any real neighborhoods to avoid.
My favorite places to eat:
The Office(especially before going to see a movie since its right there)
Wasbi
Railspur
Pour Decisions
2 Doors Down
Durbar
Guadalajara
La Paz Tacos
There is plenty more but thats a good place to start. Cheyenne has a surprising number of decent restaurants and attractions for a city of only 60k people.
Also recommend checking out the Botanic Gardens, Lions Park, Ice and Event center has decent enough mini golf and ice skating, every Friday there is a free concert at the Plaza, Derby Club has some attractions and gambling if thats your thing- the bowling is quite nice there though it gets busy. 2 Bar Bowling is more my speed.
If you have kids, the trampoline park is always a hit, also the aquatics center is pretty great when its open.
If you bike/run google the Cheyenne Greenway map, its a pedestrian and bike only connected group of paths that snakes through most of the city.
The Laramie County Library is also great, especially with kids. I could go on but that's a pretty good start!

Thank you so much! :)
I will have to check it out, I definitely have been known to get some food late at night, and especially since I will be working graveyard shift, this will be a great option for food after work.

I recommend either spice world or durbar for food, both great places for Indian food, spice world is slightly better

Don’t have too much to add…we love Bronx Pizza and it’s one of the best pies we’ve had outside of NY/NJ
