Glenrock's Fort Diablo Steakhouse and Saloon is open for business again.

This family-run business has been a part of Glenrock's history for almost two decades, and its recent closing was met with disappointment from many community members.

Glenrock is a small Wyoming town with fewer than 3,000 people and because of this, its dining choices are a bit limited.

The closure of Fort Diablo meant that there was one less place for residents to gather to celebrate special occasions, meet up with friends for a drink, or simply sit and enjoy a night of not having to make dinner.

Fort Diablo is owned by Jackie Shank, and Lori Porter is the manager.

When I reached out to Porter and asked why they decided to re-open Fort Diablo she responded "Fort Diablo is a family-run restaurant. The reaction from our community when we closed was surprising and gratifying. After some time, we decided that we needed to regroup, freshen Fort Diablo up and reopen. I'm thankful for the positive reaction we've had and look forward to once again serving great food to our community."

Fort Diablo is a smoke-free establishment and they offer a variety of foods from Steaks and Sandwiches to Salads.

Cook Judi Simmons is known throughout town for her fabulous Prime Rib, so it's suggested that you make sure you give that particular menu item a try.
