The menu is great, the food incredible but the atmosphere is unforgettable. The prices are extremely reasonable and the portions are more then you’ll expect. Happy to have marked this opportunity off the bucket list.
What an EPIC experience. We will undoubtedly return!
We chose Pitchfork Fondue for our wedding reception, and it was hands down one of the best decisions we made. The setting, the service, the food—it was all incredible. Our guests loved the whole experience, and it felt so authentically Wyoming in the best way possible.
The food was fantastic—flavorful, hearty, and cooked to perfection. We were especially excited that they fry everything in tallow now!

Pitchfork Fondue Western Cookout offers a fun and unique outdoor dining experience with a relaxed atmosphere and stunning views of the Wind River Range. Located at the fairground, the restaurant features a family-run setup where guests sit at picnic tables under large tents, enjoying the fresh air and scenic surroundings. The setting is casual, and visitors are encouraged to bring their own drinks and stay as long as they like, playing cornhole or simply relaxing.
The menu is centered around hot oil cooking, where almost everything—except salads, melon, and dinner rolls—is cooked on pitchforks dipped in hot oil over a fire, giving it the feel of a giant fondue. Guests start with all-you-can-eat, fresh-made potato chips cooked in the vats, along with dinner rolls and kettle-cooked bison brats, which serve as appetizers. They can then make a simple salad with various dressings and select from an assortment of fresh melon chunks.
For the main course, diners choose between Sirloin Steak, Chicken, or Trout, all cooked in the hot oil vats. The meal includes a potato and fried onions if desired. Kids can opt for hot dogs cooked in the vats with or without a bun. A variety of sauces are available to add flavor to any dish. For dessert, guests can choose between a brownie similar to a chocolate Texas Sheet Cake or a Lemon Bar, which many find great.
The staff is friendly, attentive, and engaging, making the experience feel like a backyard cookout with good food and great company. The owner is known for being kind and welcoming, adding to the overall positive experience. Prices are reasonable, with the meal costing around $38+tax per adult, and the portions are more than expected. The place is perfect for families, groups of friends, or anyone looking for a fun, casual dinner with beautiful scenery. The outdoor setup, cornhole stations, and space for kids and pups add to the relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere. Overall, it is a highly recommended spot for a memorable western cookout experience, making it a great choice for events like wedding receptions.
