This is an interesting place to eat with a lot of history. Someone told us it was the best steak in Wyoming but it didn't live up to that reputation. The steaks were overly salty but cooked medium rare as requested. They didn't have the wine or cocktails we ordered as the bar is very limited. We enjoyed the atmosphere but probably won't go back.

We went here for dinner when we traveled through Laramie. We had a reservation and were seated promptly. Wife and I both ordered wedge salads and filets. Salads were good but a bit small for a wedge. Steaks and side orders arrived. Mine was perfect, but my wife's was very rare. She had ordered it Medium Well and confirmed with the server that Medium Well was just a line of pink in the center of the steak. Server agreed that was their definition of medium well. They took the steak back for more heat and my wife ate her side dishes. When they returned it was a different steak. My wife touched it with her fork and it was very soft and jiggled like jello salad. When she cut into it was extremely rare. Just seared on the outside. Showed the server and she brought someone who was apparently the manager. They both agreed this steak was even rarer than the first. They apologized profusely and offered to try again. My wife's appetite was gone after eating the side dishes and salad and she asked that they simply take the steak off the bill and charge for the side dishes and salads. They agreed immediately and again apologized. When I got the bill, they had only charged for my meal. My steak was perfect. Mistakes happen and since they made it right without hesitation, I rated them Excellent.

I had the smaller ribeye, and it was way over cooked. The restaurant was very hot, and service was slow I am assuming due to lack of staff. My coworker had the larger ribeye, and it was cooked right. Definitely not my favorite meal since being in town.

This was the worst meal we have had in decades. They were out of almost everything on the menu! No duck, no prime rib, no chicken, every whiskey and beer our table asked for they were out of. It took forever for anything to arrive at the table. We were brought things that we didn’t order. My friend ordered the country fried steak, and the gravy looked like where someone threw up after a night of drinking. The piece of meat was sitting in a pool of grease and the top had grease running off it. We finally figured out what ten gravy was, pan grease with nothing more than a hand full of flour thrown in it. Others meals were just as disgusting. On top of that the server was a total space cadet and couldn’t even remember from one person to the next what they ordered. Don’t waste your time or your hard earned money on this place.

Meal for 5 was brought out at long intervals so two had their meal, waited 10 minutes 2 more and the final was brought 10 minutes after that. Well done order came out rare, med. rare came over cooked. When asked about performance we were offered $6.00 discount on a $280 dinner!! No one seemed concerned. Long time before we go back.

I have lived in Laramie for 50 years. In the past I enjoyed the Cavalryman. They offered a stuffed mushroom appetizer, well stocked salad bar, and ice cream for dessert. This was all included free with the meal. I recently visited the Cavalryman again with a friend. The food was okay, not great, but okay. None of the previous items were available. The thing that bothered me most, however, was being served my $50+ meals by the waitstaff in jeans with holes in them. It appears the manager is too cheap to buy employee uniforms. This cheapness continued when the check contained a request that I tip the cooks as well as the server. I have always assumed that my tip was shared by the servers, buss persons, cooks, bartenders, etc. We have many good restaurants in Laramie (Rib & Chop House, Altitude, Corona Village, etc.), but the Cavalryman is no longer one of them!

Had 4 PM reservations for 5. Was 2nd table to be seated. Sat there for an hour before order was taken Got food at 5:30 PM. Had to ask waitress where food was at. Service terrible waitress never came around to ask about refills. Food was marginal at best and when we got it was warm not hot. This was on Thanksgiving day. Would not recommend this place to anyone.

Went here for New Year’s Eve meal. Out of all whiskey, vodka, and some bottled beer. Ordered two meals with prime rib that came out with steaks. One of the other steaks at our table was severely undercooked. Received a 20% discount on that meal, what a deal. 10/10 do not recommend.

Atmosphere had a rustic feel. No air-conditioning. They were kind enough to seat us with no reservation. Dining and bar filled quickly. Service was stellar! The food was ok. Their French Onion soup was fair. Lacked seasoning, they used a basic slice of swiss cheese and 2 small salad croutons. I had the bacon wrapped filet. The SĂ©bastien Oscar is very different from what I've had at other steakhouses. Bland, lacked flavor and not much crab or lobster, and a few bits of asparagus and the sauce had a different consistency (super thick) from bernaise sauces I've had before. But the steak,...the steak was perfectly cooked and seasoned well. Our server was excellent! Our glasses were always full. We really wanted to get the chocolate globe for dessert, but had zero room.

Terrible service! Just waited almost two hours for our dinner. When we asked about it we got a rude response from our waitress/manager. We decided to leave and asked if we could pay for what we consumed. Then our waitress slash manager came over and said we have to pay for our drinks which we totally agreed to, no problem. Then she came back and said since your food is plated you have to pay. When we refused she threatened to call the cops on us…. Which scared my daughter into hysterics thinking we were going to jail. Nice work cavalryman. I will never be back.

Daughter and I had a very good meal and wine experience recently and wanted to give proper thanks. Very good attentive food and wine service, with proper manager attention. Excellent wine list, a little expensive but it is little Laramie way up here in Wyoming. Maybe a few more value wines might help volume sales. Kitchen did a great job on a better than usual innovative menu, kudos! Remodel due to a fire was a bit sparse but held to the general theme and didn't detract, except for somewhat uncomfortable chairs for regular dining. All in all a good night out in a town that has always had trouble keeping up on the fine dining scene.

Four years ago I visited the Cavalryman and found it lacking in many ways. This year it seems to have made great advances in service and food quality. Distracting table placements have been adjusted and the service and food was what I expect. The manager made frequent stops to check on us. This was an unexpected turnaround. Great job on the changes.
