The show itself was great, as was the chicken, thus the two stars. However, the overall experience here was not fantastic, and I would recommend several other dinner experiences WAY more than this one.

It s feels like the patrons are treated like an absolute cattle call from start to finish. When you arrive, you are ushered into an overcrowded room that has tables so jammed together you can t fit down the aisles. It s like a disaster with kids, and it s completely uncomfortable. After a show which was a semi-entertaining band, you are ushered into the arena at your showtime ON THE DOT. Our show was at 6, and we weren t in one second early. You literally stand in a herd of people filtering in from the first room to the next.

When we arrived in, I had paid full child s price so my one year old would not have to sit in a lap. They didn t get the chair for an inordinate amount of time. The show had already started and we were already served the first part of the meal by the time they eventually got his chair.

They also had no milk available for kids, which is kind of absurd for a place that bills itself as family fun. Our waitress, Kaylee, wasn t that friendly, presumably because she knew we were unhappy at her apparent disregard toward getting us our high chair. I did also speak to a manager in an attempt to procure milk for my screaming one year old, who informed me there is no milk on the premises. Turns out the food arrives cooked . Which explains why everything except the signature chicken is drier than the desert.

Honestly, skip the Stampede and go to Pirates or Hatfield s and McCoy s instead. Either way, the money is going to Dolly anyway.

And for any management who may actually listen to genuine suggestions - if you want to think of yourself as a family place, then take care of the things families need. Some space, milk, and appropriate seating choices for Little s.
