Chuckwagon dinner show recommendations

I%26#39;ve noticed that there are a half dozen or so chuckwagon dinners in the Black Hills region. We%26#39;ll be staying in Hill City July 7-13.





We went to one in Durango Colorado and found it entertaining. They had cowboy songs and ballads, funny songs and jokes, and of course chuckwagon type of food. Kind of corny and silly but it was fun nonetheless and a good bargain ($17 for dinner and the show). They had a little town with a kiddie train and several gift shops there.





Any recommendations for similar shows in the area? We%26#39;d give the comedy aspect higher weighting than the food - in other words I%26#39;d tolerate passable food if the comedy is good, but better food and boring entertainment would not be as enjoyable.

The Flying T and Circle B Ranch seem to be the ones you read the most about, along with the hayride one that leaves from Blue Bell Lodge in Custer SP. We ate at the lodge one night, and there were many leaving to take the hayride.





The description of the show you mention sounds pretty comparable to the one in Rapid City, the Flying T. I haven%26#39;t been to one, so I can%26#39;t comment on the quality of the food. The caretaker at the Roosevelt Inn tried to talk us into doing one, but time just didn%26#39;t permit.





Hopefully someone with direct experience will reply. If not, we%26#39;d love to hear a review of whichever one you choose.

High Country Guest Ranch (west of Hill City on the Deerfield Rd) also has a dinner/show on Tues and Fri evenings.
