The Cheese Barrel

I thought $11.00 was ok for an omelette until I got the bill and discovered an extra charge of $6.00 for the ingredients plus another $3.50 for a cup of coffee. The server was good but by the time I paid the bill I just couldn’t bring myself to scrape up an additional 3-5 bucks for a tip. The other people in my party were also charged similarly high prices for their breakfast. The two stars in my review are for the server .!!

03-11-2022 Price of gas today: $3.899 I was going to buy gas today. I decided to get lunch with my wife first… but after paying for lunch I didn’t have enough money left to buy gas. This place is awfully proud of their food apparently. I bought a sandwich and a cup of clam chowder… it cost me $21.98 pre tax and pre tip. Total bill for two meals was $63 with a 20% tip! For sandwiches! And the presentation wasn’t even that great. For $13.99, my plate consisted of a po-boy sandwich, a pickle spear, and a literal bag of Lays Potato Chips. My $7.99 cup of clam chowder had one piece of clam in it but it came with some garlic bread and saltine crackers. I could have bought 16.158 gallons of gas instead. I will probably not eat here again.

Very casual hole-in-the-wall restaurant. Off downtown, but incredibly friendly. I ordered the "BBB", the Basic Barrel Breakfast, with a ham steak. All of it was phenomenal, especially the red "house" potatoes! My server Shannon recommended them, and they are definitely tasty. Unique seasoning, and not dried out. I highly recommend this restaurant. As a Casper local, I'm proud to see local establishments like the Cheese Barrel stepping up and providing awesome experiences in our community. Definitely a hidden gem!
