Wyoming's Rib & Chop House - Laramie

From the Lunch Menu: Tenders & Fried Shrimp Combo - $13.95 (2 tenders, 4 shrimp, fries) Grilled Shrimp Tacos - $12.95 (Grilled shrimp, mango pico de gallo, radish, green onion, wild rice) From the Dinner Menu: Hot and Crunchy Shrimp - $18.95 (Six shrimp coated in our unique blend of spices and fried. Served with mango jalapeño sauce.) Food Total - $45.85 ($48.60 with 6% tax) 1 Unsweet Iced Tea - $??.?? (w/lemon wedge) 1 Glass of water Meal Total - $53.11 (tax included) .. did we just get charged $4 for an unsweet iced tea? WTF? Our meal started out with the Hot & Crunchy Shrimp appetizer. This was fantastic!! I am not one to like mango in anything but even the mango-based dipping sauce that came with the shrimp was great. The French Fries that came with the appetizer were fantastic as well. Fresh, cooked to perfection and seasoned just right. Having started this way I was really looking forward to the main portion of the meal. About 8-10 minutes later our Lunch entrees arrived at the table. I immediately grabbed one of the French Fries off of my wife's plate hoping for the same results as the appetizer fries but apparently these were cooked at the same time and sat around waiting on the plate to get served on the entree, not great at all. She mentioned her Fried Chicken breast Tenders were dry and bland ... after trying it myself they were certainly confirmed to be dry, bland and honestly kinda tough and stringy. The Fried Shrimp on her Entree were great. Slightly different than and not as quite as fantastic as the appetizer Shrimp but still great. My entree consisted of 3 Grilled Shrimp Tacos and some wild rice as a side. A couple of tiny, overcooked, very bland shrimp per taco that were WAY overpowered by all of the other stuff on the Taco. They really need to drain the Pico before drowning the Shrimp Tacos in it. When you pick one up the juices pour out the other end like a running sink. They were so wet that by half-way through the 2nd taco the Tortilla was mushy and starting to fall apart. 3rd Taco ...forget about it just a sloppy mess I tried to pick it up to eat but that was not happening. Shrimp is WAY to easy to overcook and overpower with other ingredients, maybe consider changing them to quickly garlic butter sauteed shrimp tacos and don't overpower with all that other stuff or maybe even just go with fried Shrimp Tacos or just drop them from the menu to avoid the issues you are currently having with them. I've been eating and preparing Shrimp fresh, store bought and in restaurants all over this great Nation my entire life and the ones in these tacos pretty much reminded me of boiled shrimp on a cheap China Buffet line, small overcooked and underflavored. I will end my portion here with saying the Wild Rice was excellent. Overall when we left my wife and I both agreed that the entire experience was okay at best and it is very doubtful we will be returning any time soon. We both agreed it was certainly NOT worth the $53.11 we were charged for it all and we could have had better food for less elsewhere in town. Did I just get charged $4 for a glass of unsweet iced tea? That is ridiculous, at best. Total bummer after all of the hype about this place I was really looking forward to an amazing dining experience. Maybe their Steaks are better, maybe one day I'll see about that as well, maybe.

"Certified Angus Beef®" is a brand, a marketing term, not a grade of beef, for those that don't know. They are serving USDA Select beef for like double USDA Prime prices. This place used to be good, but the quality of the food dropped noticeably over the years. The service is fine, but that's the easy part. The steak quality, in particular, is now lower than what you can make at home for less than half the price. They're trying to survive on having a good location, but they're going to fail if the food quality doesn't improve.

For a steak house, we were disappointed the burgers and steaks were not cooked as ordered. Steak was ordered medium well and arrived medium rare. Burgers medium well and were chared burned on the outside, way past well done.

This place is fantastic! We had excellent service - thank you Amber! Everything we ordered was delicious! The wedge salad was so fresh and amazing toppings. The fried green tomatoes were unique and very good. We also loved the shrimp and scallop pasta, the ribs and all the sides were yummy. We will definitely be back!

I just paid $30 for a salad that I could make at home for $5 (lettuce, slivered almonds, cherry tomatoes, a sprinkle of blue cheese, comically large slices of apple and salmon). The last few times we’ve eaten here we’ve been taken aback by the price increases while less than impressed by the presentation. Rib and Chop in Laramie has somehow accomplished a reduction in quality for a heavily increased price. We won’t be returning here, unfortunately.

Very loud music, they turned it down a little when asked. I ordered a french dip and it had a very weird taste. Like it had been smoked. The French fries were over salted. The other 3 people in my party said their food was average.

I wanted to be impressed with this place, the atmosphere, the smell and it is always packed. Made reservations and was seated promptly, greeted timely and all was good. I ordered pork ribs and potatoes, my ribs arrived looking dry and they were. I received my BBQ sauce and slathered them up really wanting them to be tasty. Every rib was dried out and all I tasted was the sauce, bummer. I will say the mashed potatoes were good but it's not called the Mashed potato house. That was my experience, I hope you're is better.

I’ve been getting their chicken fried steak through Door Dash. I have 2 minimal complaints. They DO NOT provide enough gravy or mashed potatoes. That said, it is one of the best chicken fried steaks I’ve had!

I really debated about this as I normally do not leave bad reviews. To start with, our server was great, he tried, but you can not overcome kitchen issues. The soup was wonderful, had the gumbo, her salad was nice snd fresh, beers were good and cold. That, is where it ended :( we bith had the rack of ribs that they were supposed to be known for, these ribs tasted like they were cooked a day or 2 ago and sat in a warmer, they were so dry and flavorless and so vastly overcooked, a shame, as I love ribs. Our fries came out cold, literally. Our server brought us fresh dishes, thus time, they fries were tepid at best. The meat was the same so we just gave up, paid snd left. After being on the road for 1,000 miles, we were tired and just did not want to complain again, it was not the server's fault, as you could tell he was exasperated as we were :( Tell your kitchen staff to stop cooking fries way ahead of time, those need to be served hot or at minimum, very warm. Your ribs, not sure what could have helped those, they should have been thrown out being they sat that long. I will try this place again, as I do not dismiss a place on 1 bad experience, every place can have an off night. I will seriously debate if I will try the ribs again though.

Spent $154 to have one bite of dry steak, one bite of rubbery lobster on one dish, another dish with grainy pasta with cold lobster on top, and two very dissatisfying appetizers. Told the waitress the food was not good and was handed a bill with zero consideration or offer of solution.
Ended the night with dinner at Dairy Queen which in comparison with regards to food and service I would give 5 stars.

Great staff, but food not up to cost...runniest Alfredo I've ever had, and had to hunt for smallest scallops ever (very few). The night before...I've never had so much grissle in a steak that i had to spit out.

Have to admit, I almost did not go to this place based on the reviews. Given I was staying across the street, I went anyway since it was within walking distance. Fortunately, I had a five-star experience. Actually went back twice for dinner during my stay. The service was good, my meals were great, and I loved the atmosphere. It is pricey, but if you can go during their happy hours, it is very reasonable.
