What a pleasant surprise to find this cafe in route to our Estes Park destination. The food choices were more than most cafes and the size of potions large. The hamburgers were freshly made and could compete with the the original Burger King. The French...Dip was loaded with roast beef slices that you felt you were eating half a roast. Our waiter was very friendly and most obliging when we asked about items on menu. If you are hungry and in the area this is the place for you.More

This was a great find. Clean, efficient service, Impressively, large menu of down home cooking options,. Pleasant staff. Lots of locals were dining here when we arrived for breakfast at 7:30 AM. Our waiter could not have been more accommodating or kind. Our omelettes were...well prepared and stuffed with wonderful ingredients. We have stopped for a meal in Lusk several times on our way to or from South Dakota, but somehow never before did we find this unassuming, but excellent restaurant. We will be back again and again.More

Friendly service, typical great food for local cafe. Stop there every chance we get usually on the way to Jackson, WY. Never have had a bad experience with the food, always great, or friendly service. Hope to stop again this summer.

We made a pit stop here on a long road trip. Lusk isn’t a huge place but the Outpost Cafe is right in the main Highway. Inside there is a good number of tables. You take a seat and your waitress comes over with coffee...to take your order - the good old way. Friendly service, nice coffee, very good pie and clean toilets - all very good.More

Coming from South Dakota and drive through this town. We were needing lunch. Decided to try it. The service and food were great. The hamburgers were homemade patties. Fries were nice and crispy. If we had more time we would have had the pie. It...looked good. The server was the hostess, order taker, table clearer and money taker. She was a delight to talk to. She worked her butt off as more and more people came in. Best local hometown restaurant. I will definitely stop again.More

Well, middle of nowhere to us. It was lunch time; we were hungry and driving on the long 2-lane road. Luckily, we saw this place. For some reason we both ordered grilled cheese and bacon sandwiches (can't remember the last time I had that). So...good! Carried us through to our destination.More

We were disappointed that we couldn't eat supper there - shortened winter hours. But we can back for breakfast. Good food. Great service!! I forgot to get the servers name but she knows how to do it. So does the cook. When we need a...meal in Lusk - this is the place.More

Food was good but wait was too long. Like most places these days there was not enough staff to help the amount of people waiting. I had the BLT and my husband had a philly chicken sandwich. They both were very good. Staff was hustling...but the bottle neck was in the kitchen. The building looks old from the outside but it was clean and adequate on the inside.More

Called just before closing. Super nice girl took my order and it was the best bacon cheeseburger I have had. Did a pickup and took it back to the motel. Fantastic food all around. Heartily recommend.

Don't let the outside fool you. Nice little hidden gem, community diner. Had a late breakfast and all of it was great. Homemade and large portions, ready for a nap. Hashbrowns were near perfection. If you're heading through Lusk don't pass them by, it won't...disappoint.More

There are not many restaurants to choose from in Lusk, but DON’T choose this one. Service was terrible and food was just as bad. They brought my food out before the rest of my family. About 10 minutes later, theirs showed up when I was...finished. We asked for lemons, then had to go to the counter some time later and ask the waitress again. When she finally brought them, she practically slammed them on the table. Most all of the food was pre-cooked frozen food from packages; not freshly made. Definitely DO NOT recommend!!!More
