Experience Rustic Dining & Cozy Comfort at The UXU Ranch
Since joining the UXU in late 2024, Chef Romi has elevated our culinary experience by blending Western luxury cuisine with the timeless favorites our guests return for year after year. Inspired by what cowboys and ranchers enjoyed over the last hundred years, Chef Romi honors that heritage while bringing a modern, refined fusion to every plate.
Our weekly menus feature slow cooked Prime Rib, hand cut Rib Eye steaks, Porterhouse pork chops, Roasted Garlic Lemon Chicken, and wild Alaskan Salmon. Each entrée is thoughtfully paired with Chef’s famous sides, including locally sourced asparagus, seasonal grilled vegetables, creamy mashed potatoes, potato gratin, and rotating seasonal accompaniments that celebrate what is freshest and most flavorful.
Most meals are served inside our historic Main Lodge, where the warmth of the ranch comes alive around the table. But do not be surprised to find yourself dining outdoors on the deck, surrounded by breathtaking Wyoming scenery and the easy camaraderie of fellow guests.
Our in house pastry chef prepares fresh artisan breads daily along with house made desserts that bring a memorable finish to every meal.
