Running Makes Me Hungry, But Roscoe's Buffalo Zach's Cafe Hungry?

Not far from the famous Roscoe diner, one will find the over-cheesed Western themed Buffalo Zach's Cafe. While the interior may look like a Wyoming hotel gone wrong, the outside deck is a nice place to enjoy a beautiful day. The chandeliers (antler/driftwood shaped) could definitely use some dusting, but overall, the outside ambiance isn't half bad considering it's caddy-cornered on two "major" roads. Plus, it's dog/pet friendly, and they even bring your pet a water bowl, which is nice.

The corn chowder was delicious, with the perfect hint of spice. Very flavorful, though there were barely any pieces of corn in mine. Potatoes, yes. Corn, no. But still quite yummy. My ribs were enough for 3 dinners! The St. Louis sauce was a bit tangy/ketchupy, and the ribs themselves were a bit "undercooked" for my taste--I like them a little more charred. The next day was much better with some honey-bbq sauce and some grill action. The rice was mediocre and the beans were too tinny for my liking. The sweet potato fries weren't over the moon, but the french fries were pretty good, boasting an extra layer of potato (whatever that means). They basically tasted like a crispier version of McDonald's fries. After not having anything but buckwheat and a grapefruit all day, and running 3 miles and paddling 10 miles down a river, I probably wasn't in the best mindset to "taste" the food for a review, so perhaps I'll try again at a lunch in the future. Also, apparently they are well-known for their coffee, so I'd have to try that as well, finding no room by the end of the night for anything solid or liquid.

So yes, I'd try it again at lunch, when burgers (especially the bison!) and sandwiches are involved. At first I thought it was over-priced, but then I saw the portion sizes. I'd rather have less food and lower prices, but hey, that's just me. Sorry, I have no images for this one.
