2 Mules Chuckwagon — Restaurant in Cody

My husband and I can't say enough about the 2 Mules Chuckwagon experience! As locals, we went several times with different family and friends during the 2021 season! This dinner option not only gives you a peek into what historical cooking on cattle drives and dude ranches were like, it gives you the best dang steak and beans in all of Wyoming (with legitimate awards and my family's tastebuds to back up those claims)! Cookie Rich will make sure your beans, biscuits, and steak are cooked to perfection in authentic dutch ovens (come rain or shine!) while his wife Debbie entertains guests, answers questions, and makes a mean salad (with ranch and/or huckleberry dressing to accompany it). At the end of the meal, when you think you can't possibly eat anymore delicious food, Rich brings over the last dutch oven filled with homemade blackberry cobbler, the perfect addition to your cowboy coffee (which is my husband's favorite part). Bring your appetite (and maybe...

The steak was without a doubt the best steak I have had in years.

This is an amazing experience. Our Cookie Rich, is a competition chuck wagon cook. He had the wagon setup as an 1860's chuck wagon. Charles Goodnight would be proud.

We arrived early to watch the going's on. He had a fire pit going with mesquite wood burning down to coals.

Cookie was busy mixing the cobbler and the biscuit dough. The cowboy coffee was on.

Rich's wife was serving ice water, lemonade and serving salads. She had ranch and a huckleberry dressing.

Watching the steaks cook was fun. There was a thick textured rub on the steaks. He called up the rare steaks first. I was the last with a medium.

With the steaks are cowboy beans and a fresh hot biscuit.

After dinner Rich serves just cooked over the coals blackberry cobbler and ice cream. The cobbler is awesome.

I asked about the rub. It's a secret folks. So you have to...

This evening was the highlight of our trip. The experience is as much about the history and authenticity as it is the delicious meal. 2 Mules are an award winning team who operate out of the Buffalo Bill Museum and provide an authentic chuck wagon meal and experience. The food was fantastic, and the steaks were excellent, but what we really enjoyed were the stories and history we learned from Rich and his wife who are working tirelessly to preserve this American cultural tradition. We also got to meet other fellow hungry travellers and share a bit about our backgrounds and travels. Wonderful experience for all ages. 10/10 can recommend. Choose this experience if you want an authentic and memorable event. All about the substance and food,...
