Katherine Wiechart Review of Bar-T-5 Corrals
There were 5 people in our group; my husband, 2 so...
There were 5 people in our group; my husband, 2 sons, my mom and myself. We are COVID conscious especially my mom who is older. I am especially writing this review because of that. We were greeted at the entrance to the parking lot by a young man wearing a bandanna as his mask (it is a wagon train after all and that is an acceptable mask. He made sure we had reservations. The young ladies directed us in the parking lot, wearing masks. They instructed us to sit in the open air shelter but please distance from other groups. While waiting for the wagon train to begin. We SAW them washing down the wagon seats and handles to get on the wagon. The owner greeted us, wearing a mask and said any time anyone was close to us they would wear a mask. And, we needed to do the same. Our family of 5 was assigned to sit at the front of the wagon. Another couple was assigned to the back of the wagon. (Normally I m guessing this wagon could have held 20 people.) Our driver wore a mask and she was great at answering all our questions while driving. (Watch out for the bad guys as my boys called them, wearing bandanna masks too.)
Dinner: We had our own table assigned, even the other couple on our wagon had their own table. The meals were in to go containers and we were dismissed one table at a time to get our dinners and drinks so we still could see the pots of food cooking and have a little feel of being at a wagon train meal. Then we had a server wearing a mask who truly brought us as many drink and extra meals as our table or another table wanted. After dinner we were asked to throw our own trash away and that was no problem either. Then came the show! Wow! It was fun, it was great, and the fiddle player...she was the best!!! (Sorry guys! Lol) And the mountain man was great too!
After the show, we were told a second wagon train had arrived. If we could line up and stay 6 feet apart and to the right they would finish disinfecting the wagons to take us back down the mountain. The other wagon train folks coming in for dinner were told the same thing only wait for the servers to disinfecting the tables before they sat down. How much more COVID aware could they have been? To the reviewer who said no regard for COVID, you obviously did not look around as we saw and experienced what they were doing.
The chicken was amazing as that s what I ate (my husband is a beef type of guy), plenty of food and drink refills! The beans and dessert were a favorite too. Very talented musicians! It was a fun experience and I would recommend this to others visiting the area. The owner that we met was personable and you could tell he & his wife do this with their whole heart! It is not just a business but a passion for them. Thanks for a family memory we will never forget! Thanks for being open and doing all you can for us during COVID!
