| - My Mom bought a coupon from somewhere thinking this was just a BBQ restaurant and when her husband wasn't interested, her and I went last Fri night. With the $25 certificate, it was an additional $39. Quite pricey for what you get, at least in my opinion.
This is an old time ranch and from what they told us, they used to (still do?) raise thoroughbred horses here. The grounds are nice, you could see a gazebo and an area with trees that would be nice for a private party. There were several buildings, for $5? you could "pan for gold", for a few dollars you could shoot a Colt 45. The young kids around seemed to be enjoying themselves. My Mom and I wandered to the "Parlour" where there 2 guys playing the fiddle, ukulele and singing. While they weren't great, they were pretty entertaining. I noticed most of the people sitting around were seniors. It wasn't until the show was almost over that Mary (one of the owners?) came around asking if anyone wanted a drink, I guess there was a bar upstairs. My Mom doesn't do stairs so we never made it up there.
After awhile they let us in the dining/show room that was laid out with rows of picnic style tables. The emcee, one of the owners talked about the ranch itself, it's history and explained how the food line worked. You bring your ticket and they give you a tin plate and you walk thru a small line where they plop food onto your plate. I know they say it's all you can eat, but I don't understand if that's true, why only those who pay extra for a combo plate get both chicken and beef. A scoop of applesauce, a baked potato, a few slices of mediocre beef covered in BBQ sauce, a spoon of beans and a small square of spice cake. At the end of the line you take a plastic cup for the lemonade pitchers on the table. Food was mediocre and certainly not worth the price we paid. As someone else stated in a review, they do say a prayer before the email and I felt rather uncomfortable. After the meal you have to bring your dirty dishes and cups to the conveyor belt in the back of the room; while they try and sell you $3 bowls of ice cream. Ice cream should have been included for the price!!
It was rather awkward during the meal, no music, no entertainment. You see the performers are in the back scooping the food!! Just weird.
We had enough and left right after dinner, didn't stay for the show. All in all it was rather cheesey and pricey. I could see where this might be fun for kids, but for my Mom and I it was just not really a good time. I won't be returning, that's for sure!
