Where do I start? This tiny town is bursting with hospitality. My husband and I have stopped at Double-D diner a few times when traveling through Meeteetse. Such nice little place for home-cooked breakfast with such a sweet lady that owns and runs the place. This time it was closed. Right about the time we were going to leave, another lady walked up to open the bar next door. When I asked her about Double-D, Karen with The Cowboy Bar explained that Double-D didn’t survive the COVID shut-downs (another small business destroyed). She offered to cook us breakfast instead! I didn’t want to put her out, but I’d also rather spend my money with an independent business, so we took her up on her offer. We decided to pick up some chocolate across the street at the Meeteetse Chocolatier and allow her some time to get situated for the unexpected guests. Karen was so easy and fun to talk with and treated us like family immediately. Meaning, she started cooking and told us where the cups and ice were to get our water. We loved the experience and thoroughly enjoyed our time talking with Karen. We also got to meet Annie, who is her cook primarily I believe. Another very nice lady, though she stayed busy in the kitchen most of the time. After our meal, Karen mentioned that they also make their own dough and pizza’s. I've read good reviews and can’t wait to go back to try one. We also got to meet Karen’s husband briefly. He told us about an RV park he’s building just up the road. We drove through the construction and it appears there are electric and water hook-ups. We enjoy Meeteetse every time we drive through. I so glad that next time we’ll be able to stay there for a few days in our camper. It'll be fun to hang out there again and enjoy the company; like visiting old friends. As with most small towns, we got to talking with another couple in the restaurant that was traveling through town. This doesn’t usually happen...
   Read moreWent to the cowboy bar on a night I was passing through Meeteetse and had the privilege on meeting either the bartender or bar back (not sure which role was his, and I’m not sure he new either..) Justin. He insisted that I called him Rocky because of his upbringing in a boxing gym and his obsession with Rocky Marciano. He served me and my girlfriend drinks for about 2.5 hours while telling us about the history of the Cowboy bar and his secret plans on escaping this one horse town as soon as his first book was finished being published. He then pressured us into ordering the bars pizza. Said is he could he would get Dave Portnoy from barstool sports out there to review because he was so certain he would score it a 10. All in all, the conversations where great, the moral was intact with the mid west and the bartender/bar back from Ohio made the whole experience a perfect 10. Not sure when we’ll be back, but if we’re ever out this way again, Cowboy Bar will definitely be a must. We sincerely hope and wish the very best for Justin “Rocky” from Ohio a blessed and...
   Read moreWe were in a rush and wanted 2 cans of beer to go. The bartender gave us two beers and I gave him a 20.00 bill. Our ride showed up and I grabbed my change and beer and left. When we were about 3 miles down the road I counted my change and he gave me $6.00 out of a 20.00 bill. Therefore charging 7.00 for a 3.00 beer. If that isn't stealing I don't know what is. We called the bar and talked to the owner and he said he would send us our 14.00 but when he heard our address was in Montana. He hung up on us. So moral of this story is do not go to this bar in Meeteetse. As they are thiefs. I would not go to Meeteetse or recommend it to anyone., as businesses cheat tourist...
