    Had Easter brunch with 15 family members . It was a buffet and all the food was delicious. When I got to the prime rib I asked for a end piece because I like my meat well done he cut me apiece that was 4 inches thick. It was done just the way I like it and it was very moist and tender. Everyone of the employees went out of their way to make it a special day. It was well worth the drive from Billings . I would like to do it again only spend more time there.

    We came here for Prime Rib on the recommendation of a friend, well, he was not wrong. The Prime Rib here is so, so good, probably the best I've ever had. So I'll tell you like he told me, get the prime rib, not from the buffet, but actually order it. It is top notch!! The beer was served icy cold, and the servers and staff were friendly and attentive. Plus the building with all of its history and western architecture and decor, it is experience just to have dinner in this building! If your in Cody, WY, or even passing through, STOP HERE! You will love it. Overall Rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I will return for the Prime Rib🙂

    We went for dinner on 7/5. We had a party of 6 that they were able to seat us right away without a reservation. Waitress was very friendly and informative. Buffet was great, lots of options and good quality. Chocolate cake was a crowd favorite. Atmosphere is wonderful.

    main dining was closed for a private party so we walked into the lounge as directed by the sign. no one told us where to gand after standing around for a feminutes I asked the bartender who told us to sit wherever we wanted. we sat near the fireplace. the decor is old, the chairs unconformable, but it all seemed to vibe old school west so it wasn't as bad as it sounds. Our waitress was fantastic! the food was pricy but good. 18oz ribeye is $48 bucks and probably weighed around 12oz plus a 6 oz bone. it was cooked a perfect medium and I'd give it a 3/5. the potato was good but the "salad" was barely cut iceberg lettuce with 2 beets 2 cherry tomatoes, and some black olives. the rack of pork ribs looked good and my friend said they tasted great without sauce. I wouldn't go back but it was a fun evening with a good friend and again, Great service!

    A very fascinating place, it has lots of history to it. The server's are very friendly and helpful, the meal is excellent with large portions. I would definitely say that it is worth your time to stop and eat here. I really enjoyed it.

    I had a good steak here. It wasn’t the best food I’ve ever had but the staff is so nice here and the atmosphere is really what sells it. A good place to take a family and some really cool history here! I would recommend.

    This place was the best! The room was clean and cozy with everything we needed. Bath tub was lovely, shower pressure was so strong it nearly cut me in half and I loved every second of it. We ate at the restaurant all 3 nights of our trip because it was actually just too good not to. I am used to Denver prices, so we were both SHOOK at how affordable dinner was 🥴 Location was lovely, right in the middle of downtown Cody! A nice coffee shop across the street… It made for such a nice little random getaway for us. I cannot recommend it enough. We have only been home a day and I am missing it already!

    Ate breakfast here Sunday morning with all my kids on our vacation. Most of us have the breakfast buffet which was expansive, hot and delicious! Sat next to a retired lumberjack that lived in the area and he gave me a plethora of great suggestions for things to do in the area and tips for where to enter Yellowstone and what to see first. Staff was super kind, service was quick and the locals eating breakfast in there where very accommodating. Did I mention the food was delicious? Definitely make this storied hotel a dining stop at least once during your stay in Cody!

    The Irma has a lot of history but is not a good hotel, especially for $250/night. Good location in middle of Cody. Small bathroom was recently renovated but the sink stopper didn't work. Rest of the room could use some update. Blackout curtains didn't fit and so didn't black out. Room was over parking lot so lots of light all night. The A/C stopped working and the window was broken so would not open. Took 2 hours to get a tech to look at it. He fixed it at 10pm. No guest elevator so had to carry 3 bags up and down to room. Staff was very friendly. I called ahead to ask about airport pick up. Was told they didn't have it and to call a taxi. Later we saw others on our flight being delivered to hotel by hotel van. Had dinner at the Irma restaurant which was really nice, good food, great service, nice atmosphere. I'd go to the restaurant again but not the hotel.

    Came here for breakfast while in town. We ordered off the menu, an omelet, and classic eggs and toast. Food was delicious, service was also great with a sassy flair which made it fun for us. Beautiful historic building. Great place to stop for a meal if you’re passing through!

    My husband and I arrived during the lunch buffet hours. We were seated immediately. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and professional. I chose ham, roasted mixed vegetables, red skinned mashed potatoes, and bread pudding with whiskey sauce. It was very tasty. My husband had salad, buffalo bites, sloppy joes, roasted mixed vegetables, and red skinned mashed potatoes. I didn't hear any complaints and his plate was empty in the end. The lunch buffet was $14.99 which we felt was reasonable. I very much enjoyed reading about the history and origin of the restaurant and hotel. I also enjoyed the decor.

    Lots of great historical things to see while you wait… and wait! I ordered off the menu and those in our party that got the buffet were completely finished eating their meal and dessert before our hamburgers arrived. I asked for my burger medium, as I described that I wanted pink in the center to the waitress, and it arrived burnt on the bottom, totally dry and not pink AND the roll was stale! The sweet potato fries were good though.

    We have had dinner at the Irma twice recently. The food was excellent. The prime rib was delicious. The service was very good. The waitress checked on us two or three times after serving our food. I would recommend eating at the Irma.

    This restaurant is a historic landmark located in the heart of Cody, Wyoming. It was built by Buffalo Bill Cody around 1903 and has a one of a kind Bar that was donated by the Queen of England. We ate dinner at the restaurant which offered a great Buffet or you can order off the menu. The Chicken Pot Pie, soup and salad Bar did not disappoint, they were delicious and we couldn’t finish it. They offer an old fashioned shootout in the side street that starts nightly at 6 pm, so eat early and don’t be late for the gunfight.

    This hotel is a really fun step back into Old West history. If you're expecting a really fancy, luxurious room, this isn't the place for you. But if what you're looking for is a clean, charming room with great details and an awesome restaurant, look no further. We will definitely be back!

    We just went here to check out the place and dine in the restaurant. Very neat place and historical hotel . We went second floor to just check out the rooms and the guy that was cleaning room was so nice enough to offer us to show Buffalo Bills room ! That was a nice treat from him . Thank you ! Food was great and service was also awesome . We were greated by a wonderful rubber band magician which we enjoyed . I believe he was trying to impersonate Buffalo Bill . We surely enjoyed our stop in this restaurant. We will be back if we get a chance to go back to Cody .

    Went to dinner here on the recommendation of a friend. The place is amazing (the bar!!!) with a lot of history but other than that our experience wasn't great. I ordered the chicken fried steak which comes with soup or salad from the buffet. It took me a little while to get my salad as there were several people ahead of me. Was over half way through with my salad when the server told me they were out of chicken fried steak. I then ordered the pork chop dinner. My fiance made several trips to the buffet and was almost finished and I was still waiting on my meal so I told the server to just delete my order. She apologized profusely. Then we went to get a drink at the famous bar and sat there for a good 5 minutes before someone told us we had to order from the other bar and bring it back to the the main bar. It would be very helpful if there was a sign indicating this so patrons are aware.

    We met for a family dinner and the food was great! The prime rib was bigger than expected, the salad bar was fresh and the sweet potato fries were phenomenal! Super historic with amazing animal mounts. Special pricing for mid week was very affordable.

    We are from Louisville, Kentucky headed to Yellowstone National Park. Unfortunately our hotel room had to be cancelled, because of all the flooding.(Prayers for everyone) My husband called and we got a room here. Love the history. The staff was great and breakfast was delicious!! Beautiful place!! Glad we got to experience this hotel.

    We stopped in at Buffalo Bill's Irma Hotel & Restaurant for a drink at the Saloon bar. Service was great. This is a very cool place full of history. We came back a second time for the Prime Rib dinner buffet. The Buffalo short ribs were amazing!! All the food on the buffet was goog although the price was a bit much. We did not stay in the hotel but we did walk the halls and stopped by the gift shop. The show on the street was not impressive. Buffalo Bill's Irma Hotel is a must place to stop.

    I have stayed at the Irma Hotel with my Dad and Brother on an adult/man trip years ago. Although the hotel is old, I have always been interested in Buffalo Bill and loved our stay and the town. Now that my children are older, my family planned a trip with multiple stops and the Irma was a must on my list. My mom was put in room 15 and we were in 35. A few minutes after we walked in, my daughter knocked on the door and said “can you hear that?” Our room (35) was two hallways over from 15 and I could hear a rattling noise. Walking into my moms room, the air conditioner was creating this noise. By the time I walked in, my mom already stopped by the front desk and was told they were sold out and could not move her. They said they would call maintenance to fix it. A few hours later, I walked to the front desk with a recording of the noise to show them. While waiting to get the employees attention, The young female working that night made a comment about my mom complaining about the noise. The older female employee rolled her eyes. When i saw my family walk down the hallway to join me, I asked the younger employee if she was talking about my family (she denied but was flustered) I played the video and asked when maintenance was coming. Once again, they stated that they called maintenance and they were in their way. I turned off the ac and she relied on the ceiling fan (no windows in this room) for the night. The next day, on our way out for the day, I stopped to inquire about the maintenance man. Tim, the only employee who seemed to understand and try to help, knew nothing about it since nothing was written in the maintenance book. He said he would call but couldn’t guarantee they could get it fixed that day and asked that I stop back for an update when I returned. We once again stopped back but the two ladies from the previous night were working again. No apologies but offered my mom room 17. We moved her in 17 and found shampoo and ensure in the fridge , left from the previous occupants. A few hours later, my mom realized she forgot her pillow in the previous room. She asked for a key to get it. Her bed was made and new towels were put in the bathroom but her pillow was there and a cup she used was still on the dresser. This made us question the cleanliness of the room (hoping they did more before next guest). The next morning, i tried to take a shower and there was no hot water. Final thoughts: Yes, this is an old hotel but the ac was not original and i found other reviews this month with the same issue in the same room. Most staff did not seem to care and we were an inconvenience to them (At night, we saw the staff, in a group all smoking together on the front patio while guests were waiting at check in (this happened multiple times in 1 day) There are other options in town to stay and you can walk in the Irma to have a drink if you wish to see it.

    Visited the BB Irma Restaurant on July 27,2022. Six of us were meeting family for a get together. Everything from start to finish was enjoyable. Our waitress was exceptional and courteous and 2 of us had the buffalo burger. It was very good!! A great experience was had by all!! Thank you!!!

  • 5/5 Scooter D. 8 months ago on Google
    Loved staying there because my daughter and I loved exploring haunted places. A couple of the rooms were supported to be haunted. But unfortunately, we didn't get one of those rooms. But it still was great staying in a hotel that was the old western type place, and was about Buffalo Bill.

  • 4/5 FQVBSina 8 months ago on Google
    This rating is for the restaurant for breakfast only: the buffet is decent, not breath-taking, but also not expensive. So good value. One of the few places that made over-easy eggs successfully on the first try.

  • 5/5 RedHairedStallion 9 months ago on Google
    What an amazing experience rife with history. If you’re visiting Cody there is no way you can pass this center piece up. We had a wonderful dining experience with some delicious Prime Rib. The buffet is a must with their variety of wonderful gourmet selections. As for the rooms themselves I can not say because we didn’t stay there.

  • 5/5 Brittany C. 1 year ago on Google
    This is an awesome historic hotel/restaurant! They have it set up like it would have been in the Old Wild West. The host/bartender is dressed like the part from the old days which added a really cool touch. The food was delicious too! My husband had the cowboy burger and I had the spinach artichoke dip. There wasn’t a lot of options for vegetarians but the spinach artichoke dip was by far the best version I’ve ever had. It was better than a fancy steakhouse back in our home town. We highly recommend this place for a fun dining experience while enjoying the historic western town of Cody, WY.

    Family ate there for dinner during the 4th of July weekend. The food was good. The chicken fried steak and chicken pot pie was great. Too late for the buffet. The service was VERY slow and not the most friendly, but still cordial. The atmosphere was so fun! Will go back someday when we get back to Cody!

  • 2/5 Beth H. 1 year ago on Google
    The location is nice. You can walk through town for shopping and dinning. The room was not cleaned well and that lost the charm for us. Someone posted about thin walls and it's true. Some people came to their room at 2 am still having fun and we heard it all.

  • 3/5 Cindy K. 1 year ago on Google
    Lot of history here so we stopped for lunch. The 3 other individuals in our group had good food. I chose the salad bar for $12.99. It was very disappointing. Not much to choose from and the vegetables in the soup were very crunchy especially the potatoes. I don't like mushy potatoes but I don't like raw either.

  • 5/5 Linda K. 10 months ago on Google
    You can't beat the Irma Hotel if you're in Cody, WY! It has great character and ambiance. We had a huge room with 2 queen beds, antique dresser, table, TV, refrigerator, and pretty large bathroom for a hotel room. There was a sink in the bedroom in addition to the sink in the bathroom! That's a bonus in my opinion! We loved the space. Beds were comfortable, and the a/c and refrigerator worked well. We ate dinner and breakfast at the restaurant, and it too was bragworthy. The food was great, and the decor was amazing with pictures of Buffalo Bill and other notable Cody residents, along with numerous elk, deer, moose, and bull heads along the walls. Also, the beautiful cherry bar gifted to Buffalo Bill by the Queen of England is in the dining room along the wall. I highly recommend you stay here if you can, or at least have a meal there. It's worth it!

    I visited the restaurant. Buffalo Bill's Irma restaurant is a delightful and authentic experience for history enthusiasts. The restaurant itself is a historical treasure, providing a glimpse into the past. The ambiance and decor transport you to the era of Buffalo Bill and the Wild West. It's a truly enjoyable experience to dine in such a unique and historical setting. Even if you're not specifically visiting for the food, the opportunity to see this historical place is worth it. So, if you're looking for a fun and memorable dining experience with a touch of history, Buffalo Bill's Irma restaurant is a must-visit.

    My sisters and I ate there on June 30, 2023. Had a small wait at the bar. The place was jumping and it was about 8 PM. The prices were exorbitant. Buffet was $34. The waitress was short tempered and over worked. She spouted off several things which we were hard pressed to hear because it was very noisy in the back dining area. I ordered chicken pot pie, which she said several minutes later that they were out of. The food was fair. Found out that they Jack the prices up high during tourist season and lower them after. Enjoyed the ambiance. One of the actors that play in the gunfight was very friendly and talked with us for a while. We enjoyed ourselves. Would like to go back in off season and try it then. I would say go early.

    Slow service. All I got was a burger and it was cooked to hell and had no flavor. I’m not picky at all and I’ve never disliked a burger. Staff made fun of people who clearly weren’t locals when they overheard them talking about some sheep. Staff were nice though to us overall.

    Came for your Thanksgiving buffet and was very disappointed. I would have been better off getting Chinese food and heating it up for dinner. Food was poorly seasoned. The only good thing was our server was good and she brought us a glass of sprite.
