We loved this dinner and entertainment! It gave you that real cowboy feel! The ambience was like a little western town . There was a little chapel there a shooting range a little train ride, which was free, that took you around the park . There were also a couple stores and then the dinner area is a well covered area, which is probably covered during rain and winter although our time was summer and they were able to open up the whole area. This is where you have dinner which is served and is done very well as to get a couple Hundred people served within a matter of minutes.! The food was amazing and you can have chicken, beef or steak along with Cowboy beans, foil covered potato and some applesauce and fresh corn bread that tasted more like a cake delicious! The Cowboy, who entertained us were extremely good and also funny! It's a must see for the whole family! Great food, and great entertainment!

Easy enough to make reservations and the show was fun, lighthearted and people of all ages were enjoying it. The food? Meh. They serve you at the front with metal plates and scoop out the food and place on your plate. We both went with the BBQ beef and felt it had too much sugar in it for our tastes. Same with the baked beans. Uncomfortable picnic table seating. Get there early if you have kids so they can run and play. Gemstone mining, etc. candy shop and some other shops. Good experience everyone should do at least once.

Great concept people were super nice. Unfortunately the food could be better chicken and roast beef smothered in BBQ sauce all they had for the backed potatoes was a pat of butter, beans were horrible. On The entertainment, maybe more mixing of more current music or rag time with their old era music that they play. We love the old music just a mixing that's something a little more Modern would be nice as well for a little change it up here and there. Geared for family fun with kids. Don't get me wrong for the price you can't beat it

Super easy 4 stars...more like a 4.5. Loved it. Good clean fun! If you're in the Durango area and looking for a fun, family-friendly thing to do, the Bar D is sure-fire fun. It's best to call and make a reservation because it can be sold out at times. (970) 247-5753. You'll need to hold your reservation with a credit card, so be sure and call and cancel if you can't make it. I'm not sure what the grace period is for cancellation. You have three choices for the meal, ribeye steak for $46, chicken and roast beef combo for $36, and choice of chicken or roast beef for $32 ($16 for ages 4-10). The price includes the show, and the tip. Great deal!! I took my 91-year-old dad who has trouble walking. I called in advance to arrange special seating for him and they said they would do that. When we arrived they cheerfully gave my dad a ride up to the venue in a golf cart. Nicely done! However, there was no special seating for him, it was the same as for anyone else. He uses a walker and we were able to get him to his seat without much trouble. We were there on a Monday evening, not too crowded, it would have been much more of an issue if there were a full house. There's lots to do besides the show. For instance, a little train to ride, gift shops, walking paths, and a playground for the kids. They are very well organized and know how to make things run smoothly. When it was supper time we were dismissed table by table to go through a line where they sorta "plop" the good on your metal plate as you walk through the mess hall. I felt like I was in the military, but hey, it works. They had all of us served in less than 20 minutes! You have your choice of coffee or lemonade. Once we sat down they offered drink seconds at our tables. Once supper is over you bus your own table and take your tableware to the back of the room. It's pretty quick and easy. The guys in the band were actually servers during supper time. We didn't know that until we saw them all on stage. The food was pretty good. It doesn't look like a lot but I was full and could barely finish the beef and chicken combo. Not only that, after everyone was served they offered seconds for anyone who wanted them. Most people didn't go for it because they were so full. I'm not sure if they do that every night, but it was cool they did it the night we were there. After dinner is the show It's full-on cowboy music with an awesome quartet. They keep the show moving at a great pace and it's over before you know it. It's a combination of skillful musicianship and playful comedy. My favorite was the Old MacDonald had a misfit farm parody. There's a sign there requesting guests to take their hats off during the show but they don't announce it or enforce it. That's not good. If you ever have to sit behind someone with a cowboy hat you will not be pleased. Although it's family-friendly, some little kids were getting squirmy and cranky during the show. There is a playground nearby and you can probably hear the show from there if your children are getting restless. They should make an announcement about that too. At the end of the show, they gave my dad a ride back to the parking lot in the golf cart. Again, nice touch! The staff is awesome. I would definitely call it a "must do" if you're ever in the Durango area during the summer months.

So much fun! Food was wonderful! The only thing I personally didn't enjoy was the applesauce. Chicken, beef, bbq sauce, baked beans, baked potato (butter only), roll type biscuit, spice cake, lemonade...all delicious!!! They really do hurry you through the meal, so if your table isn't one of the first served, and/or you are talking a lot with your table mates, you will have to scarf it down towards the end. Show was fantastic! Get there by 5:30 for the gift shops (leather store has great prices), kid stuff (train ride, playground, panning for gold). Real country feel. I highly recommend.

First time here and loved it! The food was great and in HUGE portions. The entertainment was super good- great voices and funny! Would have loved to have seen face masks be mandatory- and possibly sanitizer on the tables? Overall a great show though!!

This is a great place for families with younger children with various things for them to do. Teens will find it not their style and too immature for their tastes. The tables are picnic style and get very uncomfortable real quick. Take a stadium seat or blanket because you will be sitting for a bit before eating till show finishes. The shops are nice but yes pricey as any other souvenir shop. Food: we ordered and paid $57 each for ribeye. However, 2 of the steaks were a NY strip and over cooked so they were dry. Not what I paid for! My adult kiddos didn't want to complain. So they roughed through it. Potatoes were hard and not fully cooked. Over all, the nostalgia of eating on tin plates and being served lemonade or cowboy coffee was great. Service: fast, some were friendly, some not. We got the "that's not my job, help yourself" vibes when we asked for napkins. So go with the mindset that they are servers not your waiters. They do come and refill drinks, but they go by fast, so be loud with your request. If they miss you, they don't like to backtrack, as we witnessed. Server said, "we'll I'm going this way, so...." and she kept going. Entertainment: excellent, 5 stars! They were great and it was the best part. The weather, the location, all beautiful. I might consider going again.

Fun family time! Make sure to go early if you have little ones as there is a lot of things for them to play on.
