THE BLANCA TATANKA — Restaurant in Cody

Searched salads before arriving to Cody, WY. Google led me here June 3rd, 2024. After a long day of driving, I was starving and exhausted. Bartender suggested the pork belly tacos and decided to try instead of having a salad. WOW! Yummmy! Wine bottles were half price.

This place sits in front of The Scout Inn. Affiliated with this restuarant. I decided then that was a perfect location for me for my week stay in Cody. Highly recommend this hotel. VERY CLEAN.

On June 5, I came back to have the same Tacos for my birthday dinner and cocktail. The tacos were still good but not as good as the first day. You can see the difference in my pictures too. Not made consistently.

Restrooms are clean, restuarant is clean, modern, busy every time I walked by or was there. Music artist was there one eve playing music. Lunch and dinner options with plenty of variety of alcohol to choose from. There were children there one visit but really not a true kids menu. Kitchen closes at 9 pm but bar remained open to 11 pm.

Hands down will come back. Highly...

My wife and I tried this restaurant twice. The first time we had the brisket nachos, the bloody mary deviled eggs, and the wagyu sliders. The wagyu sliders were one of the most delicious well put together meals I've had in Cody. really delicious. The brisket nachos were skimpy on brisket. Would not order them again. Worst deviled eggs I've ever had... Gross! Our next trip we ordered the tiramisu, two different kinds of wings and the jalapeno poppers. My wife said that Costco has better tiramisu. The chicken wings were atrocious. The wings were tiny, overcooked, and overpriced. The jalapeno poppers were prepackaged frozen junk. I was hoping for actual jalapenos with cream cheese and bacon. I was hoping for homemade food. Other than the wagyu sliders the food was not good at all. The restaurant is clean and well-decorated and the people were nice. But the food was not very good. I recommend them that you sliders...

I visited a couple of weeks ago with my boyfriend. Unfortunately, our experience with the bartender/server left a lot to be desired — she seemed uninterested and unwelcoming, and service was incredibly slow despite the restaurant only having two other parties seated.

Thankfully, the man who brought out our food was much friendlier and more attentive, which helped improve the experience. He made an effort to check on us and made us feel more comfortable.

The food itself was excellent — easily a 5-star rating on taste alone. That’s the only reason I’m giving this place 2 stars instead of 1. However, the poor service really affected the overall experience. I hope the staff receives more training to match the quality of the food.

(Edited on May 22): I originally mentioned a Reuben sandwich because that’s what Google showed, but I actually ordered a burger and wings — both of which...
