My wife and I made our first trip to Cheyenne in July to see the "Daddy of Em All" and it was fantastic. We live in Kentucky which is a beautiful state, but a very different type of beauty from Wyoming. Although we got a lot of questions about our accents we certainly enjoyed talking to the folks that we met in Cheyenne. I was surprised at how many tourists from other countries were there too. We sat next a couple from Italy and at least rodeo has a universal language because we sure had a few problems answering their questions. Fantastic time and we will come back again to watch our daughter barrel race. She swears she will be running in the NFR some day (she is 16) and if we get to go to places like Cheyenne to watch her on her journey to the NFR I couldnt think of a better way to spend a summer day. P.S. We really enjoyed the cooler weather too with no humidity!!!

My last visit to Cheyenne was July 22 - 27, 2009 during Frontier days. Not only did we do the Frontier days activities (3 concerts, 2 rodeos etc)but we explored the city. We went on the Big Boot tour which was an adventure in itself. I absolutely adore your city.

Hi, This year I only took in KENNY CHESNEYs night show, but I loved at the end of it while his band played on he signed autograghs on hats, shirts, and what ever else he was handed. Thats a first and hope will be done by more to come. Usually though I see the Thunderbirds, 2 or 3 night shows, take in the Pancake Breakfast. At least one parade, and one or two walk arounds the Fair Grounds(shopping). The rodeos are also on my list of must dos, with the behide the shuts tour, and a walk through the Indian Village and watching their shows and crafts making with kids. The Mellow Drama is another must do with walking (shopping) around downtown. Thanks to CFDs Committees for their hard work that they do. If there was anything I would/could change it would be getting artist sooner so balancing a budget would be easier for those of us from out of state.

We were in Cheyenne for Frontier Days this year. We had a great time. We did the Frontier Park from end to end...went to a couple Rodeos,PBR, and George Strait. We did a lot of shopping in town. There is so much to choose from. We also went to one parade and pancake breakfast. Also we went to the Outlaw Saloon a few times for the great music and a little dancing. Cheyenne is a wonderful town. All the locals we talked to were so nice and helpful, too. They all took time to talk to us and be friendly. We have been there for Frontier Days several times and plan on coming many more times. Thanks Cheyenne for the good time and the memories. Everything is so well run and organized. Our hats off to all of you. Bill and Lila Feather LeRoy, MN

I have been to Little America a few times in the past and have always had a wonderful time, and was made to feel very special by the entire experience. My food has consistently been wonderful and the atmosphere luxurious, glamorous, sophisticated, and welcoming. All in all, I have counted Little America as one of my very favorites over the years. So, when it was suggested that I review the Sunday Offerings and Brunch at Hathaway's Restaurant in Little America, I was absolutely delighted!
I called my dining partner and we squealed to each other on the phone in pure excitement. Our plans were made; we got gussied up and went to do a review that showed every sign of being the absolute highlight of my week. Just thinking about going to Hathaway's in Little America is an exciting prospect, and we were properly excited!
We decided to plan our arrival for just about an hour after the Sunday Brunch began, thinking they would be really rolling and in the groove, so to speak, by then. We were right, they were all set up and the Brunch was in full swing. The offerings are delightful and some of the selections included; fresh fruit and berries, cold cereal, yogurt, breakfast pastries, a domestic cheese tray, smoked Salmon with condiments and bagels, Egg casserole, Eggs Benedict, French Toast with Candied Pecans, Mini Pancakes with Maple Syrup, Cheese blintz, Cottage Style Potatoes, Bacon, Sausage, an Omelet Station, and Honey glazed Ham. What a fabulous assortment, just the aroma alone is satisfying. Too bad we don't have a scratch and sniff so you can share in the mouthwatering aroma.
When we presented ourselves at the door, the hostess asked if we preferred a booth or a table. We requested a booth and were promptly led to a table, when we again asked for a booth; we were then shown to a half booth and half table. My dining companion sat on the booth part and I was on the other side of the table with a big heavy chair. I kept attempting to adjust the chair with no luck; it was just a bit too far away from the table to be comfortable. My companion and I decided to not have the Brunch after all and ordered from the menu as the choices were equally tempting. She chose "The Sante Fe," a breakfast Burrito filled with eggs, bacon, green chili, cheddar cheese, and green onion served with sour cream, salsa, breakfast potatoes, and choice of beverage. I choose "The Benedict," an English muffin topped with poached eggs, Canadian bacon, and served with Hollandaise sauce, breakfast potatoes, and choice of beverage.
I need to go back a little to tell you about our server, she was delightful. She is a young Russian girl here working for awhile before she returns home. She was very sweet, very helpful, but very hard to understand. We did a lot of "excuse me's" and "I beg your pardons." It was a challenge, but a very fun challenge. All three of us were delighted when we got something across correctly. I ordered hot tea and my companion ordered coffee. The coffee was delicious, the tea was a mess. The small teapot had no lid, so a saucer was substituted, and as it was larger than the teapot it was difficult to pour a cup of tea without spilling on the table, myself, and some of the surrounding area. The tea was my favorite kind and piping hot, and once I managed to transfer it to the cup it was just fine.
When our food arrived it looked very appetizing, but I was surprised to see no garnish on the plate. However, in these tough times I imagine those garnishes are simply expensive garbage, as I don't think many eat them, do they? My companions food was really good, an excellent portion and she enjoyed every single bite. I was not so lucky this time. My eggs were not set, my English muffin was soggy, and the Hollandaise sauce was cold. I suppose I could have sent it back, and I am positive it would have been redone and the result would have been wonderful, but I did not. Visiting a restaurant for a review is to judge the food, service, atmosphere, and overall experience on the first impression. So, that is what I am doing. I still adore Hathaway's at Little America, and it is still in my top five restaurants. I will definitely go back, and so should you. The stellar reputation Hathaway's at Little America enjoys is well deserved, and it remains one of the "special" places to celebrate anything from an ordinary Tuesday to an anniversary.
I give Hathaway's at Little America a classy rating of 4 out of 5.
