We didn't know what to expect, running across the street in the pouring rain to this adorable little cafe in Cooke City, on the edge of Yellowstone National. We'd driven most of the day to get there, spent nearly 2 hours across the street waiting for an order that took 30 min to place, and ended up walking out and hoping this little shop would be better luck for us. We wish we'd started here but next time we'll just go straight here now that we know better!
It's very eclectic inside, with small tables and decorations everywhere that give you plenty to look at. We were given a window seat since the main rush of the day was over and we were able to warm up and watch all the bikers from the Beartooth Rally going up and down the street while we waited for our food. The hostess was super friendly and we ordered the special of the day: pulled pork, chips and dill pickle slices.
The sandwiches came within 15 minutes and were hands-down the best pulled pork sandwiches we've ever had in a restaurant. The meat was tender and well-sauced, without any tough or dry chunks and with just the right amount of fatty bits for juicy flavourful hits as you're taking mouthfuls of deliciousness. Honestly it was an amazing sandwich. The chips were nice because they didn't overshadow the sandwich and added a comfort-food kind of feel to the meal. The pickles were delicious and I wish there'd been more.
All in all, we should have started here and next time we're in Cooke City we're eating here just to see what the rest of their menu is like!
