The information Guide in the Train Depot gave this place to me as a Recommendation. I ordered a Lemonade and a Double Cheeseburger with Fries. The burger was huge with fresh toppings. The meat had a sear on it, you wont get a fast food burger joint. And It was tasty and juicy like the cow was alive Hours before lol.

Food was good, wide variety menu and incredibly friendly staff. Lawrence was awesome - we requested syrup for our sweet potato fries (odd request, I know) but they were very accommodating.
(4)David G.
Had dinner here with a guest two nights ago. Pretty impressed to start. We asked if they could make some fried pickle chips, which is not on the menu, and they did! These were the best pickle chips I've ever eaten! Other then that, our steaks were ok, the sautéed mushrooms were really good and the beer was cold.
(4)Mo B.
Great menu, prices and service! Just what we were looking for. Very laid back atmosphere with exceptional service.
(5)Troy M.
Great chicken fried steak. Grilled not deep fried and a lot of food for the price. Historic building along with historic photos and atmosphere. Good price for the portions.
(4)R J.
Awesome Chicken Fried Steak. Great local feel and atmosphere. Friendly service, something for everyone on the menu. Highly recommend.

We came here on the recommendation of a fellow traveler. To be fair, he didn't suggest it because he thought that the food was that great, but because he liked the vibe. Granted we came on a Friday night, and being from out of town we didn't realize that this area is a mad house on the weekends. We were expecting a bit of a wait, but at one point decided to get our food to go. The guy at the front told us that it would be just as long for take out as it would be to wait for a table and then wait for our food. We ended up waiting for a table. Here is my general rule of thumb when it comes to restaurants and my expectations. It is perfectly fine if your food is nothing special IF you aren't charging a ton for it. Conversely, I don't mind paying more for food that is above and beyond in flavor, quality, or portion. Unfortunately, The Albany fell short in all areas. Service was friendly but slow and removed. The food was no better than your average greasy spoon... If your average greasy spoon were charging steak house prices. Long story short, we probably won't be back.
(2)Christian B.
Food here was pretty bad. Their "house special" the prime rib was cold, hard and had allot of gristle. Every bite was almost inedible. The waitress seemed like she was lost in space and could care less when we brought it too her attention.
(2)Sean T.
Best Chicken Fried Steak, and Burgers in Town! Dont expect a happening night club! The bar side seems more modern and relaxing. We eat in there unless we have our kids. The restaurant side seems dated, and crowded. Order your Burger, play a game of pool, and relax!
(4)Tinky R.
Dang!!!!! This is some good eatin'! Living in San Diego we love good restaurants...we came to Wyoming to chill....and went here after I read reviews...this did not disappoint. Only caution....horse radish....watch out! It will blow you socks off...not kidding! Food is great, wine pours are good and service is fantastic! You made out night!
(5)Patrick Gage K.
I think we liked the name the Albany, being from New York ourselves. The food was just average, but the people watching was pretty interesting. All I really remember is some strange conversations about the waitstaff.
(3)Stephanie K.
This place was pretty cool, even though it was kind of dead on a Thursday night. But I can't see a Thursday night being insane in Cheyenne. The bartender was cool and the drinks were good, but I couldn't believe they stopped accepting cash after 9 pm. Ridiculous!
(3)Mark T.
Was ok. Nothing to write home about. Cool old time decor.
(3)L H.
Great place for comfort food ... hot meat sandwiches, steaks, burgers. Attached bar. City parking lot 1 block away. Free for 2 hours. Free all day (1st day) for out-of-towners.
(5)Christy W.
This restaurant is directly across the street from the Union Pacific train station and ghosts of cowboys and ranchers and mid-century travelers practically share your table. The waitstaff is friendly and helpful. But the reason to patronize this place is the meat. The prime rib sandwich for about 11.50 is huge; I discarded the bread and ate it like the steak it was. The medium rare was tender and buttery and the horseradish was potent. I wasn't fond of the au jus, so I just left it alone. The salad was a nice, crispy addition. Just for the record, if there's a guy with a leather vest standing behind the register, it doesn't necessarily mean that he works there. But he showed me to my seat anyway. He recommended the chicken fried steak with the mashed potatoes and gravy. He eats there all the time and should know. But, what can I say, I was in the mood for prime rib and it sure didn't disappoint. For what it's worth, I was traveling alone and didn't feel awkward sitting alone in the bar.
(4)Melissa T.
Good selection of beers, super big, friendly service. Bonus points for parking! It can get a little tight on street parking on that block.
(4)Gaston G.
This place is great, foods good and Dave the bartender makes a stiff drink!!!
(5)Kyle P.
They have the best steak in town and really good chili (most of the time). My steak has always been cooked perfectly (medium rare) and it comes with this balsamic butter on the side that is delicious. Their chili is good most of the time, but lately about half the time I've had it, it just isn't as good as I'm used to (watery and undercooked). They have seasonal menu items that change regularly and they have specials on Friday and Saturday that are always different. They also have a variety of deserts that are different every day. The booths are better in the bar side (cushioned leather instead of just plain wood) and the package side has the best prices I've seen in town.
(4)Randy S.
We rolled into town for lunch, and it was convenient for anyone coming off the I-80. Me and my wife had the prime rib sandwich which was AMAZING!! It was very moist and tender. If you want a good prime rib sandwich- come here! I also ordered the Hungarian mushroom soup which was very, very good, and my wife had a salad. My son ordered the nachos and cheese which came with just a little too much cheese, but the rest of it was fine. My daughter ordered a peanut butter and jelly sandwich which was a regular size, and my other daughter ordered a salad which was HUGE, and she's a salad eater! Their lemonade is really good. Overall, the price was okay. All five of us ate for about fifty bucks.
(4)Steven L.
Good ol' comfort food -- and some great steak, and a wonderful "welcome home" atmosphere. In my opinion, the best place in Cheyenne to eat.
(4)Howard B.
Almost a 4... I have visited the Albany nearly every time I breeze through Cheyenne. I have never been blown away here but I have always had reliably good service and good food. The prime rib and horseradish is good and the beers on tap are good too. Check it out if you want the best in Cheyenne bar food.
(3)Jacquie G.
The place stinks like cigarette butts! For$20+ prime rib dinner I was disappointed. The Prime rib was very fatty and chewy. The baked potato that came with it looked like a dry sad potato. The salad was even more disappointing. For a side salad you expect some color or croutons it was lettuce with two slices of cucumber and 3 cherry tomatoes ( mine was 2 because one was rotten) the other dish we had was a French dip sandwich. It was Ok nothing special some cheese would be nice. I gave it a two because our waitress was great, the fast service, and the beer was cold other than that I would recommend if you want Meat (prime rib, steak or chicken) go to Chophouse or Texas Roadhouse .

When in Wyoming I HAVE to get a buffalo burger so when we got to Cheyenne, we ordered one to go from Albany Restaurant and bar. I remember sitting down on vacation as a child with a buffalo burger that billowed out over my plate. They bring back such memories. It was my husbands first buffalo burger! We ordered it to go and I haven't had anything else there, so I can't attest to the rest of the food but I quite enjoyed my half of the burger. Buffalo always seems a little bit dry to me but I still love the extra gamey taste. I'd probably go back but this time I'd maybe try something else and actually sit in to get a better experience. I did like the historical pictures on the wall.
(4)Jon W.
Went in for lunch en route to Laramie. It was fairly crowded but we got seated right away. Service was very friendly and food arrived quickly. Overall food quality was good and priced about right at about $9 per person (+ drinks, tax and tips).
(3)Yvan P.
We were told that this was typical Wyoming food... Didn't look that special to us. I ordered the slow roast beef... Medium. This thing was well done. The waitress was nice enough to give me another piece... Same thing. Medium wasn't in the card for me tonight. Finally got a Cobb salad which was ok.
(2)Daniel L.
Good Ruben. Try the cole slaw and the beer bread. So good. Seems like a local spot. Great place to go after walking to and from the Capitol.
(4)Oliver H.
Service: Service was not good, server was unhappy to see us sit down. And was very happy to hand us the bill before we were finished eating. Food: was not impressive, paid 10 bucks for a bison burger that was small, right at a 1/4 inch thick, don't be confused with a 1/4 lb. and they act like a few extra French fries will break the bank.
(2)Edward M.
Management was unnecessarily rude to my family. Although we arrived shortly before they were going to close the kitchen for lunch break and waiting for one of our party. That still leaves no excuse for the management to be rude about closing the kitchen. Instead of being told by the server when we went to talk to them we received rude response, thank you for the lack of service.
(1)Jerry G.
Went in for late lunch 1pmish on 7/22, place had a good crowd at that time, sat at bar. Bartender waited on us, attentative service and provided good recommendations on the beers on tap. Typical bar/grille menu, we had burgers which turned out to be good and reasonably priced. Would go again.
(3)Chris C.
The best home-cooked meal and feel I've had in Cheyenne. Friendly staff and cold beer, what more could you ask for? I had the infamous prime-rib sandwich and it was better than advertised (by others here on Yelp!)
(5)Mike W.
My sister and I went here for lunch on a Tuesday at 3 o'clock. The restaurant was closed but the bar was open. Upon inquiring in the bar if they served food, or even appetizers, in that section, the answer was "There's no one in the kitchen." For being a restaurant located at the very heart of downtown Cheyenne I found it sad that they maintain such arbitrary hours for their food service. One of the bar patrons heard my questions and helpfully volunteered, "shadows is open", which is the pub across the street.
(2)Amber L.
Went here for lunch and had the worst service imaginable! We had to sit in the bar area which was packed and there was only one waitress for the 7 tables. I understand that she was the only one serving that area but her attitude was very poor with the customers. She was rolling her eyes when we asked for something. I will not be going back here!
(1)Krsna V.
One of the great things about small towns is the local restaurant scene. Everyone seems to know everyone and the atmosphere is fun and cordial. Albany restaurant is a great place to get a feel of local Cheyenne. The menu is nothing special. Mostly regular comfort foods. However, the attraction is Bull Nuts: breaded and deep friend bull testicles. Also known as Rocky Mountain Oysters. When you are in WY, why not try a local delicacy? Only, it is not really a delicacy. Tastes like chicken fried steak. The menu is standard diner fare with salads, sandwiches, burgers, steaks, and seafood. The thought of eating seafood in WY makes me shudder, but if you don't mind eating SEAfood in landlocked places, go for it. My cobb salad was alright. The interesting part, however, is the liquor mart attached to the restaurant. This place is a liquor store and restaurant, two in one. Service is friendly and the place is bustling with locals. Food is average, but it's the scene that makes this place special.
(3)Jim A.
Outstanding. The only genuine restaurant in Cheyenne. The salads were ultra fresh, unlike the usual brown lettuce off the Sysco truck that is offered in most venues in this burg. The corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick's day was outstanding, every item cooked to perfection, on an entree that is most often poorly prepared. Excellent friendly service. What more could you want?
(5)Leela A.
Pretty nice menu and goof service. Large dining room and attached bar area with pool tables. Seems popular with locals. Prime rib was good and the bull "balls" were quite good. Good down home cooking sure to fill you up and satisfy you.
(3)Shahrokh A.
The location is very convenient and close. The food is very good. I ordered the prime rib and it was excellent. The wait staff was great and very friendly
(4)Tammy L.
One of the best locally owned restaurants in downtown cheyenne. Friendly servers Matty the bartender is great! Been going there for years, so we know most of the long time servers, Danette, Tammy, and Carla all are great. Bill the chef is known for his great soups. Art work is history of Cheyenne and the painting on the wall ( done by Danette) tells the story of the owners. Must see. Menu has a lot of variety to chose from chili burger is one of the favorites.
(5)John M.
The inside of the Albany made me feel like I traveled back in time to the wild west. Lots of wood and old pics from Cheyenne through its history including the building of the Depot train station. I decided to try the prime rib dinner based on reviews. For starters, the potato leek soup was one of the best I've had. The beer starts at $3.25 for a 16oz, but the meal went downhill from there. The prime rib and side was not the memorable. The baked potato was small and the prime rib was a bit tough to chew.
(3)Kirk C.
I need to give this restaurant 5 stars for their mountain trout plate, very fresh tasting, and well prepared. It does have little bit of bones so just be aware of that. The service was excellent, waitresses were very nice and they were not shy of showing off their deserts. I would recommend this place in downtown Cheyenne.
(5)LT K.
I love history and while exploring the Pacific Union Depot, a stop by Albany restaurant for dinner was a must. The prime rib is their best selling item so I just had to have it. It was delicious and done just right, though not the best quality beef. I also had the beef barley soup and it was also delicious, with lots of beef. I could tell that they use the unsold prime rib to make the soup. This is a smart as it saves money, no waste, and the soup would be tastier if roasted meat is used instead of raw meat. I chose the fresh veggies to go with my dinner and it was a disappointment. The vegetables were frozen and not fresh. When I see the word fresh on the menu, I expect the food to be never been frozen, nor canned. The price was decent. Service was friendly and prompt.
(3)Scott M.
Prime rib and colorado bass both were top notch in historic area, worth the 5 mins drive off I-80
(4)Jocelyn T.
One of my preferred lunch spots. Excellent roasted turkey and homemade soups. Very good green and red chile. Service is usually great--but we normally sit in the bar area, which is not crowded during lunch. Very quick to correct mistakes and almost always given generous portions.
(4)Sher R.
The Albany has the best steak in Cheyenne.
(4)Nona R.
Decent food overall, the chicken fried steak was soggy and lacked seasoning, but the prime rib was excellent...
(3)A. S.
Service was not great, but the food was so much worse. Chicken fried steak: meat was tender, a child could make a better breading. Stuffed chicken: meat was burned and where's the swiss? Presentation was very unappealing, it resembled something I'd find on the floor after my kitty's had a tummy ache. The mashed potatoes were barely...mashed, that is. We were very disappointed and will not be back.
(2)Tom S.
Long story short, as part of a bet, I had to eat three orders of Rocky Mountain Oysters (sliced, deep fried bull testicles) at the Buckhorn Exchange in Denver, Colorado. They were all out that day, so we had to find a place in our next destination (Cheyenne) where they were sold. This was the place. They didn't taste terrible. But try eating three orders of any full-sized appetizer and you're going to get ucomfortably full. It makes it worse when you're drinking dark beer (bad call on my part), and... oh yeah, EATING BULL TESTICLES. They even called them "Bull Nuts" on the menu. I finished two of the three orders, gagging several times near the end on juicy bursts of "flavor" as I bit into the large pieces I'd foolishly saved for last. It's not the Albany's fault I was there for such a terrible endeavor. But three stars is generous for what I went through.
(3)Margo J.
Superb service. Superb prime rib sandwich and steak sandwich...both cooked perfectly and delicious. Charming and just what we were looking for on our way through town.
(5)Mike A.
Mediocre at best. Bottom line is locals, are not foodies. There is very little good to great food in Cheyenne. It is a shame, lots of beef but no one can cook it.
(2)Kelly R.
The service was stellar at the bar and the 3 items we got were great! Have been here for drinks only prior to this visit but would recommend the food.
(5)Ryan S.
Been coming here since I was a little kid. All their food is great, but I always stick with my favorite, the prime rib sandwich. The kaiser hoagie bread they use is awesome, the cut is just right (medium or medium rare), the au jus they bring is out of this world. Great place, stop on by!
(5)Nicki J.
The Albany is a great spot in downtown Cheyenne! Really cool locations right across the street from the Depot Square, so during Frontier days, or when other events are going on downtown it can be a little hard to get into, but otherwise there is usually no wait to be seated and it's a great spot for an awesome meal! The apps are great and the artichoke dip is the best in town! Great bar, and awesome beer selections. I can also stand behind the Albany because its been family owned and operated for over 50 years!
(4)Michael V.
Prime rib sammich -- the Wyoming Big Mac -- is done right. This place has been run by the same family since 1942, and all those descendants are regular customers. This is a great little slice of Cheyenne, right in the middle of downtown. A great place for travelers to experience local fare.
(5)MaryJane B.
The key to this restaurant's success is the waitstaff. Very attentive. The food is amazing. Started off with the zucchini and fried green beans... Great horseradish dipping sauce. The red meat trout is farm raised, seasoned perfectly and melts in your mouth. Creme brûlée for dessert.
(5)Adam W.
In hopes of finding a few drinks and a steak, we stopped in at the Capital Grille only to find ourselves the only patrons and the bartender in the middle of closing up. We were informed that "all of the people" would be over at The Albany, so being people, we went on over. Though we arrived with only minutes to spare before the kitchen closed, we were cheerfully given menus and time to order. This being cattle country, we decided to split a New York strip. Our server was great. She happilly replaced a skunky Newcastle, no questions asked. She brought us each salads and potatoes, though we were only splitting one entree (with no extra charge either). Our food was great. The blue cheese salad dressing was obviously house made, given the ratio of blue cheese (massive) to dressing (just enough to bind the blue cheese and not a whit more). The baked potato was both. The steak was absolutely just great, the perfect balance of silky texture and beefy flavor. We got a kick out of the tiny basket of breadsticks too. Did I mention the steak rocked? The Albany ambiance was great. On this night said ambiance included two sometimes competing juke boxes (one featuring AC/DC!), always-busy pool tables, and disporting locals. Even the check was enjoyable, in that the price for this meal of beefy goodness was far below what we would have paid back home for such a feast. We loved our brief stay in Cheyenne so much that we promised we'd go back. When we do, I know you'll be able to find us with all of the people, over at The Albany.
(4)Karl A.
Great comfort food. The hot turkey sandwich is my favorite. Also try the ranch dressing on anything, it's spectacular.
(4)Beki H.
My prime rib was delish but the salad & baked potato were just ok. Flimsy little steak knives which is a personal pet peeve of mine. The decor appears like it might be the original from 1942, which is quaint but far from comfortable. Some of the staff was very sweet & accommodating. Our waitress didn't seem like she wanted to be there. While she was efficient there was no personal engagement. I would return for the prime rib.
(3)Dennis J.
Excellent! The clam chowder was the best I've ever had, and that includes restaurants in New England. Everything was done perfectly. Real mashed potatoes, probably hand mashed because they were slightly lumpy, the way I like them, with excellent brown gravy. Prime rib cooked perfectly medium rare and butter-tender. Great house dressing. And the creme brûlée, heavenly. I had actually parked and was headed for a neighboring pub when I saw the Albany, and am very glad I changed directions and walked the extra block in the freezing wind. We'll worth a little chill!
(5)Ryan M.
Very good service and friendly atmosphere. My water was re-filled many many times. The food was typical diner fair. But the Bull Nuts stood out. This appetizer was enormous and very well prepared. The attached liquor store is not a bad after dinner stop with a decent selection of craft beers.
(3)Mike C.
What was a New Yorker doing in Cheyenne? My friend and I were in Fort Collins, Colo., preparing to run in the 10K at the Colorado Marathon. Since it was the night before a race, we didn't feel like hitting the bars. So we decided instead to drive 40 miles north to Cheyenne because, hey, when was the next time we were going to have a reason to go to Wyoming? We wandered around the downtown area a bit, but found mostly burger joints and sad-looking dive bars. We were hoping for a slightly homier or more diverse atmosphere. Finally we asked a couple of friendly locals who directed us to the "depot," where we could find The Albany. Ding, we have a winner. The depot, as best I could tell was a small bar/restaurant district located near the former site of a Union Pacific (railroad) train depot. There was the Albany, plus another bigger-looking restaurant, plus a Capitol Grille and a medium-sized parking lot. For anyone who's been to a typical East Coast diner, you'll feel right at home in the Albany. The menu was smaller than your average diner, but still very diverse. I tried the bison burger, which was a little pricey at $9 (felt like I was in NY!), but quite good. The service was friendly and attentive and my friend and I loved the old-timey decor on the walls. Lots of cool old pictures of Cheyenne from the Wild West days. It's almost worth eating in there just to check out the photographs. Other than that, don't expect to be blown away. Still, my friend and I agreed that the Albany was a solid part of our impromptu Wyoming field trip.
