On our way to Cody, we arrived in Basin at dusk, very hungry when we spied a little place with a big OPEN sign. Didn't see any other restaurants, closed or open so we pulled into Sandy's Place with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised with decent all American food. We were greeted by Lacy (Sandy's daughter) with a smile and had a choice of tables since the only other diners were seated at the counter. The menu isn't extensive but the items are homemade and not prepackaged or commercially prepared. The plain hamburger was just that - plain, nothing special, but the chili burgers were a big surprise. We tried the green chili and the red, both being very good and obviously homemade. The chilies really improved on the burger. It had been a decade or so since I've eaten a chili burger and I wasn't disappointed. They boast homemade pies which interested us, but we did not try after gorging on our main meals. We chatted with Lacy to learn that this is a family affair: her brother is the cook and this was mom's dream to have a place of her own to serve the community. When in Basin, you can't go wrong with a stop at Sandy's place for an honest down-home meal.
