What an amazing place to bring friends and family! Mark and all the staff are incredible people that are about as down to earth as it gets. Excellent customer service! This is a one of a kind location folks. Beautiful scenery tucked back in the sticks. Trust me... go once and you'll be back.

Food was amazing. Such a neat place. Great service. Great atmosphere. Beautiful drive up. The brisket sandwich was the size of my daughter’s face . The nachos were awesome. Very good, made from scratch, green chile. My son loved the Hawaiian Mac and cheese. Awesome drinks (the habanero mango drink was fantastic). Will definitely be going back!

The best brisket I have ever tried, hands down!! This is my second time at the stables but the first time I didn’t have time to eat as I had to catch a flight; this second time I MADE the time to eat here and OMG, best decision ever made! After our 2 hour horseback ride we came to The Cantina to grab a drink and lunch, we ordered the Blackberry Sipper and a ginger vodka drink that Eve made for me, not on the menu. We both loved our drinks. For food we ordered the mac & cheese with brisket, brisket sandwich and the coleslaw, everything was to die for! Everything was so fresh, tasty, delicious, and I have never had such a delicious coleslaw like the one Eve makes! Speaking of Eve, she is the owner and what a lovely friendly person she is! We were staying at The Broadmoor and the drive was about 35-40 minutes ride, SO WORTH the drive, you won’t be disappointed!!!

Had an amazing experience. We got there kinda late after they had closed the kitchen and he decided to re-open the kitchen just for our group. The BBQ was amazing. Drinks were great. This place is a hidden gem. Great place to bring out of town guests

This place is a gem n the middle of the Forrest and it makes you feel like you’ve been time warped into the old Wild West. The people, drinks, food and the atmosphere make me never want to to leave. If you’re on Old Stage rd and you pass this place, you’re doing yourself a disservice. See you in the spring!
