Plains Trading Post Restaurant Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

    This is a 24 hour restaurant in Douglas, Wyoming of all places. Really amazing interior set up, like, I really should have taken some pictures here. Douglas is the home of the "Jack-a-lope" a jackrabbit antelope hybrid cryptid animal, and the Plains pays homage to it in style. The inside of this place could be like the cover photo of a Wyoming travel guide, it's that authentic and really cool. And it's cavernous, just goes back and back eventually to the bar. Real good food, too. I got in late (around 11pm) and ordered a burrito that was filling and delish. The friendly bartender even gave me information and helpful directions to a natural sight that I wanted to visit the next day, Ayers Bridge Arch Rock, about ten miles outside of town. I went back for breakfast and it hit the spot. The menu has surprising variety and I'm pretty sure breakfast is served all day. This is the type of place you dream of stumbling upon on a cross country road trip. Hopefully, one day I'll be back.

    It's worth stopping in for the character, and the genuine Cowboys on their smartphones. The breakfast was passable. The staff was nice enough though service was a bit slow. It looked like the carpets hadn't seen a vacuum in a few weeks. There's not much choice in this little burg, it's worth a try.

    This place has character. It kind of feels like a diner from a movie: friendly waitresses, colorful locals, interesting decor. The food was exactly what I expected. It was fried and greasy, with flavored aided exponentially by copious amounts of ranch dressing. I want to go back and try out the ice cream parlor. And yes, you can smoke in there. Not sure if the wind, the pickup trucks, or the giant expanses of yellow grass were any indicator, but you're in eastern Wyoming. Douglas is a railroad town, a cowboy town, a spittin' and swearin' town. Don't act all surprised when there's no braised oxtail or baby arugula on the menu, and the sweet old lady sitting at the counter next to you lights up a Marlboro. (the spaghetti pie she ordered looked bomb as hail.) If you don't like it, then you can git out. This is coming from a quinoa-eating, Pilates-planking commie who voted for Obama. But I do love a strong cup of black coffee in one hand, and a smooth, refreshing Kool in the other.

    We stopped here because I read the reviews and it sounded interesting. Good food. There is even a soda fountain in this random building.

    An oddity on the road, The Plains Motel & Trading Post includes a bunch of buildings that are a mash-up of historic and/or old structures saved from the wrecking ball. The restaurant is diner/bar/dining room, and we choose to sit in the diner. Wyoming seems to allow smoking indoors, and so we found the non-smoking section...though of course, smoke has a tendency to wander. The kitchen was challenged to get the food out at the same time, and my companion's all-you-can eat salad was over and done with by the time my tuna melt arrived. There was a mountain of curly fries accompanying the really tasty tuna melt - bits of celery and onion were chopped into the finely minced tuna, served between slices of chewy rye bread. The tuna melt was delicious, and the curly fries just luke-warm by the time the plate arrived. Unfortunate, cuz they would have tasted even better hot. There's a fun old-fashioned ice cream/soda fountain connected to the diner/restaurant. Fun place to go with family, or to hang out in the bar, if the smoke doesn't bother...

    Horrible food (cold and flavorless chicken, bland mashed potatoes that they try to 'fix' by drowning them in gravy, and a burger that wasn't even seasoned). Subpar service (our waters weren't refilled once, no ketchup & mustard when they brought my burger, etc). And on top of it all - it's a smoking restaurant. I was certain it was illegal to have smoking inside or to not provide a non-smoking area but I guess the owners don't know or don't care - either way, I wish I could give it zero stars. What a dump.

    Had the mexican dish. Flavor was good and portions were huge. It must of been around 80 degrees in there though. Pretty warm considering it was midnight. Service was good and food came out fast. Stomach didn't handle it very well though.

    A great place to stop in and have a smoke... Errr. A bite. Yeah. Food. They have food, a cool bar in back with several electronic dart boards and pool tables. I go there to get the latest from the locals on the haps about Dougie... I like it.

    The Plains is an odd, roadside delight you shouldn't miss when you cruise through Douglas. The food is pretty decent, but more than anything you should stop just to check it out, it's a neat place!

    Just ate here. The food wasn't very good. Like it was frozen and they microwaved it for us real quick. Full of smoke but had a historic atmosphere. We would have been better off having a sandwich in our camper.

    DO NOT COME HERE. I hardly ever give 1 star because I personally dismiss it from other reviews thinking the experience certainly could not be typical. However, my experience is with the food, which I imagine doesn't change much. For starters I got the nachos. Never get this. I received a plate with a reasonable amount of chips and loaded with canned cheese. The chips were stale, and the cheese was cold and not even close to being warm. My 11yr old daughter could have gotten this right. My entree was a burger (appeared previously frozen and was unseasoned) and I chose the spiral cut fries. The fries took up 2/3 the plate and were clearly fresh looking like it was just cut by some spiral potatoe cutting thing they must have in the kitchen. I was very hopeful with the fries. Finally something fresh. The fries were so soggy with oil, i'm guessing they dropped them in cold oil while it absorbed all the greese as it waited on the oil to get hot. In addition, the fries were not crispy or appeared to be cooked long enough. There are very few options for dining in Douglas, but during my 2 week stay this was the worst. I suggest making a trip to the Crick Water tucked inside the gas station (Sinclair?).

    If you like licking ash trays then you'll feel right at home with all the thick smoke and horrid smell. We asked for a non smoking area and there are only three booths in the front. Its as if they're saying sucks for you if you don't smoke. We didn't stay two minutes after watching the waitress sit there doing nothing but pretend to stack menus.
