Down Home Grubbing

    Planes, trains, and automobiles... and unicorns and gas pumps and creepy clowns and Donald Duck.  Have you guessed it yet?  Yes I am talking about the one and only (actually one of two in Casper, and a few others in this general region) Sanford's Grub & Pub.  If you live in Casper you have more than likely been to at least one of their locations.  Reviewing a place like this is rather difficult since many have already made their own opinions. As mention in previous posts, mine is better.  
    If you want to feel like you're eating in a knock-off collectibles store this place is for you.  Don't get me wrong here folks, the atmosphere is getting one of my top ratings.  "Why you ask?",  simple abundance.  The toys and old replicas may give the place a 'hoarder' kind of feeling, but there is always something new to look at.  Maybe not the best idea for a romantic dinner if you want your beau/belle to pay attention to you, but cheeky all the same.  One fair warning though; if you have those dreams where dolls come to life and bite your toes and little clowns parachute down on your head with knives, DO NOT ENTER!  Akin to your visual circus, you are also  bombarded with the mind-numbing sounds of music, sports, and chatter.  After all, it is an "& Pub".  Deafness aside; as a pub, it's expected, as a restaurant it's rather annoying.  Sometimes you really should pick one or the other.
    Keeping with the pub-like genre, Sanford's has a massive array of artery clogging dishes.  Here's where we get to the 'down home' nitty gritty.  As cooking goes... it's good food made from okay ingredients.  If you want a burger or a steak with a little Cajun kick than your probably going to enjoy it.  The jambalaya is not award winning, though it is (at least I think) not made out of a box.  If you were thinking of finding real Cajun or Creole cuisine than you will be massively disappointed.  Just an FYI for most restaurants here in Casper, this one included, don't bother with the seafood.  It seems in Wyoming even the shrimp are tough, leathery, and would probably win in a gun fight.  Sanford's is a place for good 'cooking' overall, but without the atmospheric distractions, the food alone would not bring you back.
    Should probably also mention the service here as well.  Um, well, uh.  We got our food.  Is there something to be said for not noticing them?
