| - Kitschy. The view is spectacular. The smell from the bull outside as you're walking in is not. The bull totally fits the idea - setting the scene for the old west and showing you what you're about to be eating, but the smell is far from appetizing, particularly after the "rain." I was taken off guard when the soft-spoken server mentioned the slide, and wasn't really in the mood to try it myself, but I did see some others give it a go later.
We were promptly seated by the window, where we could get a good view of the guys who were lassoing the wooden calf out front. It was charming to be served beer in Mason jars, even though the selection of draft beers could have been larger. The fry bread we had while waiting for the rest of our party was good, though the chewiness indicated that it wasn't that fresh, but the cinnamon butter made up for it. I opted for the Vaquero,a smaller steak served with cheese enchiladas. The steak was decent, but the tortillas of the cheese enchiladas were quite chewy. I think I should have opted for the filet, which my dining companions all got, and it came with green beans and corn.
Would I go back? Maybe if I had kids and was passing through town. Otherwise, I'll be looking for somewhere with more focus on the food than the theme.
