For 27 years, Sherrie Lopez has been greeting regulars by name at this beloved Casper institution that Food Network Magazine recognized in 2010 as serving the best breakfast in Wyoming. 🥞
Sherrie’s Place operates in a historic 1917 building where everything is made from scratch daily, including fresh-baked cinnamon rolls, bread, and Thursday donuts.
The 69-year-old owner arrives at 4 AM every morning to start baking, leading by example with a hands-on approach that earned her staff’s loyalty—waitress Tammy Stoops has been with her for 24 years.
From the famous chicken-fried steak that impressed Food Network to green chili-topped omelets, every dish reflects the comfort food quality that keeps this 49-seat restaurant packed with waiting customers. ☕
How Sherrie’s Place won Casper’s hearts
When Sherrie Lopez purchased the restaurant in 1997, she wasn’t just buying a business—she was continuing a family legacy in the very building where her parents owned a restaurant from 1976 to 1981.
Lopez grew up in the restaurant business, watching her stepfather and mother operate five restaurants, learning that success required more than good food—it demanded genuine connection with every customer.
Lopez’s willingness to accommodate gluten-free and vegetarian customers with specially prepared options showed genuine care that built trust across diverse dietary needs.
When Food Network Magazine featured Sherrie’s Place in 2010 as serving Wyoming’s best breakfast, it confirmed what locals already knew—this was something genuinely special worth the frequent 20-minute waits.
The innovative Christmas ornament promotion, where customers bringing food-themed ornaments received free dessert, resulted in over 100 ornaments lining the ceiling beam and showcased the playful hospitality defining the restaurant.
