Chugwater Soda Fountain

I have wanted to visit this spot after seeing it on Atlas Obscura and it’s worth the trip. Tasty food, delicious homemade pie and a delightful environment. If you get a chance, stop here, you won’t regret it!

Went on a road trip to the Rocky states in mid March. Someone from a museum in Cheyenne told me this would be a good spot to visit. They weren’t lying, food tasted awesome and the people who worked there were very friendly. It also had an awesome oldish atmosphere and a museum of products from the 1900s.

If you’re on a road trip and happen to cross by Chugwater, give this place a visit!

One word.....Wow! They have done a great job with this place. We have been here in the past doing some video on one of the ranches in the area. We decided to come back to plan our next excursion and grabbed some food at the Soda Fountain. I had one of the best burgers I've ever had along with awesome fries and a cup of the famous Chugwater Chili. What a great little town with a lot of history and cool people with some interesting stories. Until next time, Cheers!

Cute little roadside stop, very friendly & nice! Picked up a couple of souvenirs from our visit.

This place was on my bucket list for our family trip and was super excited we got to experience the BEST milkshakes I have ever had. Took pictures outside of the place as I wanted to remeber everything about it. The staff was amazing and everyone treated us with such respect it was awesome!

Adorable historic soda fountain shop. We stopped by at the recommendation from Chugwater chili company. I hope this place can get its name out there because it is a hidden gem!!!
We stopped for malts and enjoyed the friendly staff and history of the shoppe.
If you find yourself on I25 near Chugwater, do yourself and your tastebuds a favor and get in here!!

First time stopping in and it was great!
Kind and friendly folks, great service and the chili was great! Kids got a BLT and fries. And I got a chili burrito. Next time we'll get a malt/ icecream. Stop in, won't be disappointed.

My wife and I brought six kids here for lunch. For being understaffed they did a great job! We all ordered burgers, chicken strips, seven fountain sodas and a malt. Everything was awesome. After lunch all the kids got ice cream. What a wonderful gem in Chugwater!!!

This place is good! Great little shop for an old fashioned soda and a cheeseburger. They look like they’ve got great malts and shakes, but I wasn’t in the mood for thaw. Definitely worth a stop in!

Solid Wyoming Stop! I’ve been driving past here for many, MANY years… I never found the time or need to stop… I WAS WRONG. This is one of the best burgers I’ve had in Wyoming, and the Chili lives up to the hype. Do yourself a favor, and check this spot out.

What a fun little spot! Great small town friendly service. We enjoyed tasty burgers (with seasoned fries) and an old fashioned root beer float. Everything was delicious.

Chili for breakfast? Do it!!!! It’s just perfect.
The thick malt shakes and huckleberry soda were delicious, too. The owner was friendly, caring and warm and this added to our wonderful experience here.

Worth the stop! Charming old building and friendly people working and visiting there. They had a shaded patio to sit on too. The shakes are marvelous with so many options to choose from! We even got a cup of ice cream for our Doggo! Kinda makes me wanna return during chili season to make a day of it and have lunch at the cafe next door!

Travelling from UK. Saw this place on google maps when I was planning my road trip round Wyoming and Colorado and knew immediately I wanted to experience a true piece of small town America.

Food was exceptional and my Chocolate Malt was probably the nicest drink I've ever had in a diner.

Staff were super friendly - bought a couple of t-shirts as we loved this place so much. Was the foodie highlight of our entire trip.

The Soda Fountain will be a forever stopping space in Chugwater, Wyoming this little town make you feel like you are home away from home. Grateful I found this place. You don't want to miss this place... Kayce was an amazing soul who make you feel home...

AMAZING. Stopped quick on a road trip and the food was stellar (used spices from the local spice company in town), soda was awesome too. Had some cute nostalgic toys and things for sale. VERY CLEAN and the staff was super nice. Seemed like lots of locals came there as well.

If you're looking for a sugar fix and a piece of WY history (oldest soda machine in WY), this is the place for you! It's a destination you won't want to miss.

You can get a soda water with one of the unique flavors, or get an ice-cream shake, malt, float or an icecream soda! There is also a food menu.

Take a magnet or a t-shirt as a suvenir (I did).

This is within driving distance from Northern Colorado, a quick daytrip for the weekend.

These milkshakes bring all of Chugwater to the yard! No honestly it was so busy, which is great! The staff was working tirelessly and I didn't mind waiting as I explored the really spacious store. I loved the local cookies, soaps, candies, books and appearl options. Even grabbed a SMORES COOKIE which was still soft and no too sweet! You can really tell it's the heart of the town.

A truly wonderful experience, the staff was kind and welcoming and the food was incredible!! I can easily say it's the best place to stop for food in over 100 miles (better than anywhere in Cheyenne too!) It is absolutely worth making a detour for!

August 2019: There are few places where you can still get a genuine chocolate malted milk shake made with real ice cream and this is one of them. We stopped here for a shake while traveling on I-25 and were not disappointed. Check it out for an authentic, one-of-a-kind, small-town experience.

June 2022: Visited here again and found the remodeled atmosphere to me lacking in character, compared to how it used to be. Just saying!
