Spend an Evening at the Bar J Chuckwagon

Dining

With a seating capacity of 750 people, it may come as a surprise that Bar J serves all their guests in less than 25 minutes. The gates open at 5:30 p.m. and the dinner bell rings promptly at 7 p.m. Diners can choose from classic cowboy entrees like BBQ beef, boneless chicken breast, BBQ pork ribs, and grilled rib-eye steak. There’s even a kid’s menu for the little ones. All meals are served with a baked potato, Bar J beans, homemade biscuits, chunky applesauce, and an old fashioned spice cake. Yum!

Performances

The Bar J Wranglers perform in Jackson Hole seven nights a week during the summer months. During the off-season, the Wranglers perform all over the world, bringing their style of western music and ranch humor to people of all ages and backgrounds. They’ve been featured on TNN with Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, and Randy Travis as well as the Discovery Channel and the Travel Network. Visit the Chuckwagon website for a full list of upcoming concerts!
