Don't let the appearance or location fool you--this place is an absolute hidden gem…read more You can't even see the restaurant from the highway or the exit ramp. It looks like you're driving into a tiny RV park behind a large white wall, and if I hadn't read the reviews beforehand, I probably would have kept driving. I'm so glad we didn't. The owners were some of the kindest, most welcoming people we've met on our 10 day road trip. The restaurant was spotless--honestly cleaner than many restaurants we've eaten at--and even the large restroom was exceptionally clean. We ordered the burgers and the fresh-cut, house-made fries, and both were fantastic. The burger was one of the best we had on our entire Colorado/New Mexico road trip, and I wish we had ordered more fries! As parents traveling with two young daughters, we especially appreciated how family-friendly they were. They had a huge basket of crayons and coloring books that immediately kept our girls entertained, which was such a thoughtful touch after a long day in the car. If you're driving between Colorado and Amarillo, this place is 100% worth the stop. Trust the reviews, ignore the outside appearance, and stop for a burger and fries. We'll absolutely be back on our next road trip.

Starting with the positives, the tasting, the food, the catering staff onsite during my wedding,…read moreand Vicky (who no longer works there) were all great. We used to buffalo gals for our wedding and food was great. Just a few points of miscommunication that caused a bit of unnecessary stress on my wedding day is why the loss of a stars. We were told that the one guest who was celiac and one guest who was vegetarian were going to have a plated meal to prevent risk of cross contamination and would ensure they had their food. We were told not to stress as they would be plated and given to the guests as they were given the guests names and could work with the seating chart. I noticed that the guest who was vegetarian was only eating sides so I had asked and she said she didn't know there was a separate meal. the celiac guest who luckily got to go through the buffet first did not have issues as she did get to go first but could've caused severe outcomes for her if she did have cross contamination. After talking with catering staff onsite they said they were told that the guest has to ask for it which was complete opposite of what was originally communicated, and they were deeply sorry. So just miscommunication with one that actually could've caused permanent harm if she had ingested gluten. We also paid an additional fee for grilling to be onsite, due to fire ban that was unable to occur. We understand that is not within our control but no where in the contract does it say that it is not refundable, so they just held onto that fee even though they didn't provide the service. When asked about the refund I was told the fee was for the tri-tip to be cooked on a specific grill but nowhere does that say that in our contract and was NEVER communicated - because if it was not onsite we were told the way it was cooked was the same - we thought we really were just paying for the experience of it being onsite. So biggest tip for anyone going through them is get everything in writing with clear communication and clarification, because without that they don't care to help.

We were greeted by a very friendly hostess, seated immediately and didn't have to wait long before the server was helping us. I ordered the ribs and turkey, both were great. I don't remember what my buddy ordered, but know he ate it very quickly. If you're in the area I definitely recommend this bbq spot.

Oh my word! The food is SO GOOD!…read more Okay, my first thing to report that wasn't really mentioned in the reviews I saw...there is outdoor seating and very limited indoor seating. The indoor seating filled up very quickly and it was just a bit too chilly to sit outside in the shade today. Everyone seems to talk about the line that forms before the restaurant opens. I stood and chatted with folks waiting in line. The folks that were doing the meat smoking and taking orders were all SUPER FRIENDLY even though they were also working so diligently to get orders prepared and customer orders ready. The food! We ordered so much food. We'll be eating BBQ all weekend. We got a pound of brisket. This was smart because damn, it's delicious! I love that they cut it thick. Its perfectly smoked and not too fatty, though they also sell a moister brisket too. We got a full rack of pork ribs too! This is a lot, but also absolutely phenomenal taste and chew! Perfectly smoked! We got potato salad, coleslaw and beans. All fantastic and at an affordable price. We couldn't pass up the cobbler and got both the peach and the bourbon pecan cobblers. I'm so full. Time for a nap. But I've already decided this is where I'm going for my birthday next month. I loved The Chuckwagon!
