My brother and I went to Kemmerer to eat at the Scroungy Moose but he was backed up with orders so it was a 40 minute wait which we declined, we then tried to go to Rosie's pizza but they were closed and catering a private party, so we went to the Caribou Cafe and it was fantastic. My brother had a Patty Melt with fries and I had the chicken fried chicken with mashed potatoes and corn. The service from this beautiful young woman with an incredible hairdo who was just stunning gave us multiple refills of our drinks and the other lady who brought the food was nice too. The food tasted great. Would go back in a heartbeat.

Such a warm and enjoyable little Cafe. We were treated like family, and the owner is just a hoot!! We seriously demolished the garlic fries and everything else we had!! Fantastic all the way around.

Spotless, friendly greeting and delicious “home cooking”. BLTA and fries were perfect and open face turkey sandwich with home cooked Turkey, real mashed potatoes and gravy with a side of fresh squash perfectly grilled!! Iced Tea both sweet and unsweetened were made correctly and that is not as common as it should be. Road trip with a stay in a small town made for a great meal!!

Vote with your dollar! Why would you go to a fast food restaurant when you can go to a great place where the owner is there, working hard and offering quality food at a fair price? Highly recommend! Carrie was kind, attentive and generous with her time and conversation. The food was great!

Even though I walked in five minutes before closing, Carrie made certain to make me feel welcome. Larry quickly made fried cauliflower, as a starter, excellent, grilled squash, and chicken Parmesan for main course, and even though I asked for the apple pie to go, I couldn’t stop myself from eating it before I left. Will definitely be back!!
