| - Where can you find Fat Albert and tons of hot cowboys wearing spurs on a Wednesday night? Why, Buffalo Chip, that is!
My friends and I came here on a Wednesday evening to watch some good ole fashioned bull riding. Wednesday nights are for practicing and amateurs, yes, dear reader, as long as you sign a waiver and pay a fee of $40, you can ride a live bull and pray you don't break something as you get bucked off! Friday nights are for the professionals with shows starting at 7pm both days.
We got here around 6pm because my friend said they have great BBQ so we decided to try it out. Its $10.88 plus tax for ONE POUND total weight of any of the following:
beef brisket, pulled pork, grilled chicken, baby back ribs, smoked sausage, cowboy beans, grilled veggies, quickdraw coleslaw, and honey butter biscuits.
We tried the beef brisket, pulled pork, beans, veggies (which was really corn), and the biscuits. Oh my yumminess, everything was so tasty, but next time we agreed we would just get the beef brisket due to its superiority over the pork. Buffalo Chip also has $3 domestic drafts (PBR, Bud, Miller, Blue Moon) and $4 import drafts, awesome. My friend got a mixed drink using Absolute and a bottle of water and it cost her $9 for both. Great drink prices!
We didn't spend much time at the inside restaurant/bar because all the excitement was outside, but we did notice a pretty decent size dance floor where we can only imagine the amount of line dancing going on. Also, I notice the menu inside and it looks like they serve TexMex food along with BBQ.
Big Props to all the cowboys and cowgirl (yep, there was one girl toughing it out) giving us a great show and great first experience at Buffalo Chip. I also need to give a shot out to the bulls Fat Albert, Brutus, Black Hole, Domino, and Goliath, I don't know how you are able to buck around with balls that huge...ouch!
Oh, and four random side notes: (1) because you are so far north and away for the bulk of city lights, you can really see the beautiful stars (2) I listened to country on my way back home (3) don't forget to wear your cowboy boots and (4) I can't wait to come back!
