Cheyenne natives Jerry and Sandy Inniss opened 2 Doors Down in 2009, literally two doors down from their other restaurant, Pizzeria Venti. 🍔
What started as an extension of their hospitality empire quickly became downtown Cheyenne’s favorite burger destination.
With bottomless steak fries, made-to-order gourmet burgers, and the kind of warm welcome you’d get from your best neighbor, this mom-and-pop joint earned Tripadvisor’s Travelers’ Choice award while ranking as Cheyenne’s number one quick bite spot.
How 2 Doors Down won Cheyenne’s hearts
2 Doors Down captured Cheyenne’s affection by perfecting the art of doing one thing exceptionally well—serving juicy, made-to-order burgers with genuine hospitality.
The Inniss family’s approach was refreshingly simple: create a space where people could kick back, play games, chit-chat, or just plain hang out while enjoying fantastic food.
Their hybrid service model—order at the counter, then enjoy attentive table service—combined the speed of fast food with the warmth of a sit-down restaurant.
Within just a few years, military personnel and locals alike made 2 Doors Down their regular spot, drawn by the consistent quality and staff who remembered their orders. 🏔️
What really sealed their reputation was the bottomless fries policy paired with burgers that customers described as making them “rethink every burger you have ever had.”
