The Cody Cattle Company

About This Establishment

The Chuckwagon buffet bites back with texture: pulled pork stays tender, chicken remains juicy, brisket has solid chew. Sides crackle and glow: potatoes seasoned to the edge, beans cling to the spoon, mac and cheese stays gooey, cornbread crust hums with butter, salad stays crisp. Brownies arrive huge, loyalty to dessert is real, often with vanilla ice cream puddling beside it. The stage-show energy locks you in—this is wild Western dinner theater with value for families.
