The Wagon Box Restaurant

Throughout history, communal dining spaces like the Hebrew feasts, King Arthur's Round Table, and the mead halls of Norse legends have significantly influenced culture and idea exchange. These gatherings fostered unity and dialogue, a tradition that faced a decline with the fast-paced, isolated dining experiences of recent times. The Wagon Box represents a return to these roots, offering delicious Mountain West fair (cooked without seed oils) in a setting that encourages togetherness and lively conversations. Join us at The Wagon Box Restaurant for not just a meal, but an experience that revives the rich tradition of communal dining and meaningful exchanges in the heart of Wyoming.

☞ The Restaurant will be closed for the winter season October 20, 2024 — May 1, 2025.
