Wyo Food

Casper doesn’t always get the burger credit it deserves — but anyone who’s lived here knows the truth. There are some seriously good burgers in this city, from no-frills diner classics to creative upscale takes that would hold their own anywhere. Here are our picks for the best burger joints in Casper, Wyoming.

What Makes a Great Wyoming Burger

In Wyoming, a great burger starts with the beef. The state produces some of the finest cattle in the country, and the best local spots know it. Fresh-ground beef, cooked to order, on a bun that can actually hold everything together — that’s the baseline. Everything else is personality.

Our Picks

1. Branding Iron

📍 129 W 2nd St, Casper, WY 82601

The Branding Iron is a Casper classic and one of those spots that locals keep coming back to year after year.

Their burgers are generous, well-seasoned, and exactly the kind of satisfying meal you want after a long day. If you haven’t been, this is the place to start your Casper burger tour.

2. The Refinery at Three Crowns

📍 1601 King Blvd, Casper, WY 82604

Tucked inside the Three Crowns Golf Club, The Refinery is one of Casper’s best-kept secrets. The setting is beautiful and the food matches it — this is where Casper’s burger scene gets elevated. Expect quality ingredients, thoughtful preparation, and a dining experience that feels a step above the average bar burger. A great choice for a nicer evening out without leaving town.

3. The Railyard

📍 355 W Yellowstone Hwy, Casper, WY

The Railyard has built a strong local following and for good reason.

4. Frank’s Butcher Shop

📍 2024 CY Ave, Casper, WY 82604

Frank’s is a unique concept that only works because the quality is exceptional. You’re in a butcher shop — surrounded by premium cuts of Wyoming-born, raised, and processed beef — and you can either take meat home to cook yourself or sit down at the small bar area and have it prepared for you. Reviewers rave about the quality meat, immaculate surroundings, and fantastic service. The burger here is made with the same care as everything else in the case. A must-visit for any serious meat lover in Casper.

5. Little Shop of Burgers

📍 1040 N Center St, Casper, WY 82601

The name says it all. Little Shop of Burgers is a horror film focused joint, that does one thing and does it well. Consistently ranked among Casper’s top burger destinations, it’s the kind of place that earns repeat customers through consistency and quality rather than ambiance. If you want a great burger with a fun atmosphere, this is your spot.

6. Frosty’s Bar & Grill

📍 520 S Center St, Casper, WY 82601

Frosty’s is a Casper staple — a true bar-and-grill in the best sense of the word. Cold beer, a comfortable atmosphere, and burgers that are exactly what you want when you walk through that door. It’s been a local favorite for years and continues to earn its place on any Casper burger list. Bring a friend, grab a booth, and order a round.
