Known for its chicken, Swedish meatballs, fried shrimp, bread pudding and glorified rice with marshmallows and cherries, the Sveden House Smorgasbord was staple in the City of Wyoming. Located at 1461 28th Street, it was the first to offer an all-you-can-eat buffet. The restaurant closed in the early 1990s and the building has since been torn down. It was national chain with restaurants all over the country and depending where you were at, it was sometimes spelled “Sweden.” The photo is from the Wyoming History Room collection.
