This Is The Last Year You Can Dine At The Legendary Bar J Chuckwagon In Wyoming

Bar J Chuckwagon in Wilson, Wyoming, known for its unique cowboy-style dining experience, is closing at the end of 2021.

Wyoming's dining scene is pretty interesting—where else can you find chuckwagon dinners or pitchfork fondues? One of the most famous chuckwagon dinners, Bar J, is closing at the end of 2021. If you want to experience this Cowboy tradition, you'll want to snag tickets as soon as you can!

For over 40 years, the Bar J Chuckwagon in Wilson, Wyoming has been entertaining and feeding hundreds of guests nightly, all summer long.

This year, the family that runs the Chuckwagon has decided to hang up their spurs - so 2021 will be the final season of this western time-travel adventure.

Bar J offers an experience that you're sure to remember. When the singing cowboys take the stage, you'll feel like you've been whisked way to the past!

Come settle in to the dining hall and take your seat. You'll be dining with 650 other guests, but somehow, this open and airy dining room never feels crowded.

This chuckwagon dinner is served cowboy style, and meats are all grilled up outside on an enormous grill. Take a peek as you walk in!

Every meal comes with a baked potato, biscuits, beans, applesauce, spice cake, and either coffee or lemonade.

You'll have your choice of meats, too - pick from steak, BBQ beef, ribs, chicken, or a chicken and BBQ beef combo. No matter what you order, it is certainly going to be delicious.

As always, you'll need tickets to attend! Since this year is so in-demand, most dates are sold out, but don't lose hope!

It's inevitable that some parties with reservations already will change their plans, and occasionally tickets become available even for typically busy dates.

Reservations are hard to come by this year - for good reason. Keep an eye on their website, here, to see if tickets become available for a date that works for you!
