Absolutely delicious food! Lots of flavor and fresh ingredients. I had the jalapeño popper burger with sweet potato fries, garlic aioli and an iced tea. Delicious burger and the sweet potato fries and aioli were amazing! Tea quenched my thirst and was a good quality. Kind owners that were friendly. We were able to sit outside on a beautiful day-couldn’t get any better than that!

I have dined at the Old Shell store a couple times. The first was because it was recommended, the second was because it is so awesome! I have tried the Whiskey Burger and the Jalapeno Burger and they were both great! Their naked goods are fresh, large and delicious. And, if you like a cold draft beer with your meal, they have a great selection!

This little place is what a buddy I remember the most from a 2-week camping trip. We were in the Badlands for a day, at Mount Rushmore, through the Black Hills, touched the clouds and tasted the stars, yet spending an hour here really made an impression upon us. Living in DC and my buddy hailing from Florida, we don't often get an opportunity to get to places where the vibe is so mellow and welcoming. Couldn't have times it better with the amazing burgers and beer. The house picture is across from the tavern, yet it still caught our eye. Friendly chat with a few locals, really amazing warm people. Yes, I'll be back!!

Old shell store is the only store in shell. The food is good and prices fair. It's a wonderful place to have dinner or lunch. Outside seating is very scenic, shaded, and comfy. You can buy beer and wine by the glass or package. Visit old shell store if you are camping west of Burgess junction on 14 in the big horns.Parking: Plenty of parking

I wanted a chicken sandwich but they don't serve them anymore. Went with the whiskey burger and I'm not quite sure why everyone is touting the burgers on these reviews. Average at best. Decent size but low quality beef. And it was $15

A great selection of drinks, a cinnamon roll that was excellent, and an apple tart that was seriously to die for! The staff was really helpful and super nice. Highly recommend this exceptionally cute country stop over!

The Old Shell Store is a wonderful find. I had a beer and homemade banana bread. The banana bread was some of the best I've ever had (and I've eaten my share). I'll return for more (and sample the burgers).

Very nice place. You order and pay at the counter, get a beeper, and pick up your food from the counter when it is done. The dining room is pretty small but there is an option to sit outside under some large and gorgeous cottonwood trees. The food was very good. I have two things I did not like. I would like if they had better ventilation in the kitchen. The kitchen heated up the entire building and it made the place a bit smokey. Also, I would like if they would put a clear coat of epoxy or something on their tables so it is a smooth surface. There were notches in the wood that food collected in. Over all I would go back again.

Decided to give this place a try while driving through. Lovely seating area inside as well as a quiet area on the patio and out back. The burger and fries were absolutely phenomenal. Some of the best sweet potato fries I’ve ever had. The baked goods looked great at as well. Will definitely plan to come back again.

Baked Goods! Yes, the food is amazing. Best fried chicken I've had since I lived in the south for a few years. Burgers are amazing. Sweet potatoe fries are the best version of themselves. But the baked goods.... are some of the best I've ever had. I've even been to Buddy's bakery in NJ (Cake Boss) but the stuff here might beat it. The buttercream frosting cookie sandwiches may be the crown jewel here but these baked goods need a social media presence of their own, it's insane. I'd go on but if I do youll think I'm setting the bar too high and there's no way and you won't believe me so please, just go in and get a cookie or piece of cake or anything else. EVERYTHING is amazing.

This cafe features a clean, bright shop and dining area, fabulous baked goods, warm breakfast entrees, and burgers. The outdoor seating under the cottonwoods is wonderful. The food is always excellent. Their hours fluctuate frequently, so be sure they're open before driving out of your way.

Great burgers, better baked goods .. if the cake plate holds their hawaaian coconut cake splurge on it! Order at counter and pick up, but nice seating inside or out in a park-like setting. We ate there 3 times in our 2-night stay in the cabins across the street.

We got a brownie for later...oh MAN is it good! Burgers looked legit...if it wasn't for the catered lunch we would DEFINITELY eat a burger here! Menu looked good and heard praises from others.

We came over the BigHorns from Sheridan just to see what was on the other side and found this amazing restaurant. The bakery items were magnificent, probably the best I've ever had (and I live in a big metropolitan area with plenty of bakeries.) This will be a destination each and every year I'm in Sheridan. Worth every minute of the 1.5 hour drive (the scenery isn't too bad either) just for a slice of that raspberry lemon pound cake.

Stopped for lunch on a drive through the canyon, and it didn't disappoint. Great burgers and a nice selection of local(ish) beers on tap. We'll definitely be back to sample some baked goods!

Don't let the small-town sway your decision to stop by for one of the best burgers you'll ever have. Not to mention the cold beverages on tap. Excellent atmosphere and service as well. Thanks Emily and staff.

Very friendly staff and good burgers and desserts. I ate here for dinner twice while I was staying at the campground and made frequent visits during the day to this store/cafe and every time I came in the staff made me feel welcome and was very friendly. Make sure to stop in if your ever passing thru!

This is a little gem in the middle of almost nowhere. They have some local gift items, a few groceries, but really amazing baked goods and fresh food! We had a Greek salad that would rival some of the best restaurants in Jackson, and the next day went back for baked goods which are amazing!

There’s a word that comes to mind about this place...Awesome!!! The owners are wonderful host... warm and welcoming and the pastries are out of this world!! The little gal that does the baking is about as sweet as her cinnamon rolls, scones and variety of cookies and other delicious baked goods!!! This is a must stop in,... on your way through the quaint little town of Shell, Wyoming.

Great stop for lunch today. Emily’s baked goods are FABULOUS. The cinnamon twirl coffee cake today didn’t make it out of the parking lot. Thanks Emily.
