Old West Dinner Cookout

The Old West Dinner Cookout will remain closed through the end of its 2022 season. Details can be found here.

AN EVENING YOU WON’T SOON FORGET

Evening Tour

Grab the saddles and hitch up the wagon for an evening you won’t soon forget. You can ride out to Pleasant Valley on a horse or in a covered wagon. When you arrive you’ll find those cooks dishin’ up some real cowboy grub at our popular Old West Dinner Cookout.

The coffee’s brewin’ over the open campfire, and our wranglers love talkin’ your ears off over a strong “cup o’ Joe!” When we ring the “dinner bell”, you’ll line up for real western beef steaks cooked to order, our signature Roosevelt Baked Beans, potato salad, coleslaw, cornbread muffins, and fruit crisp. And if all this is not enough, you’ll find your boots tappin’ to old western songs sung by our singin’ cowboy. You may have come here as a city slicker, but you’ll go back as a regular cowpoke!

Meeting location: Roosevelt Corrals, 105 Roosevelt Lodge Rd, Yellowstone, WY 82190 .

Insider Tips

• Since the cookout begins at dusk, this can be a perfect time to watch wildlife in the Roosevelt area.
• One of the highlights of the cookout is enjoying a good old-fashioned cup of coffee brewed over a campfire.
• Some of the best cobbler around is served during the cookout. Be sure to save room for dessert.
