The service is fantastic, the food is even better. I had the recommended Rib Eye. She told me it was a little fatty, which I appreciated, but it had so much meat that I had three meals from it. And doggy was happy too. Right behind us the place filled up but we didn't notice a change in service or... More

Called to try to set up a reservation, learned that they don't accept reservations for less than 6 people which is fine, however, the employee that I spoke with was rude and impatient. When asked about what normal friday night business was like, if there was normally a wait he refused to respond.

I wasn't expecting much because of the last several visits. I have family members who enjoyed this restaurant in the distant past and forgetfully want to return. I only ordered the soup and salad bar thinking that they couldn't screw that up too badly. I was wrong. They had what they called "shepherd's pie soup" and it was the Cottage... More

Poor Richard's has been here for over 30 years! Their reputation for good service and food is still going strong. They have a varied menu as well as an excellent salad bar. I always have a good meal when I go. They have a nice bar as well.

We have visited Cheyenne many times and this is the best food we have had. It doesn't look like much on the outside but go in and experience it yourself. We were a large group in our own room for a birthday party. The fear there is that you will be forgotten but the staff was very attentive and patient... More

Had a business dinner here on Tuesday, October 30th. We sat in the bar and were greeted immediately and had a drink order taken. The wine was excellent and half price! We both had steaks at the recommendation of the server and were very pleased. Overall it was a really good experience.

Poor Richard's was one of the best choices in Cheyenne. Now it's just average. Not really sure what has happened. Last few visits just average and service isn't near as good as in the past.

The service was terrible. After being seated we waited 10 minutes, in a mostly empty restaurant, before we were even acknowledged. After the meal came we had to get up twice and look for someone to help us get what we needed. The food matched the poor service. We ordered the Seafood Sauté, which consisted of 2 small shrimp, 2...
