I came here with my girlfriend for a quick little bite to eat around 6pm on a Monday. Atmosphere is more saloon than restaurant, but don't underestimate their kitchen and menu. Service was excellent from the moment we walked in, to when we left. Clean place for a saloon restaurant. My girlfriend ordered the meatball slider and sweet potato fries. The meatball slider was incredible. Cooked perfectly, and very fresh tasting. The sweet potato fries were also cooked perfectly, and both items were hot and fresh. I ordered the Texas Red Chili, and a side salad with ranch dressing. The chili was very good, topped with cheese, onion, and a roasted pepper. Delicious. The side salad was basic, but good, with the dressing on the side which is a plus, and it was good ranch dressing. All in all a very good experience, we will be returning!

Wonderful diner style breakfast menu. Really enjoyed the food, the waitress was kind and accommodating. The bloody Mary's were strong. Overall, it was the perfect stop when passing thru for a quick breakfast.

What a find! Super clean, great food and nice people! True western charm. Highly recommend the beef burrito with the red chili sauce. The salad was fresh and topped with a roasted jalapeno (I thought it was a gherkin surprise!). Oh! And real homemade Apple strudel. Thanks Jose for the great drinks and service! PS - the fresh wildflowers on the table did not go unnoticed - a nice touch showing that someone cares!

absolutely loved this place. it all started with the awesome man who was serving us that day. he was super nice and chill. especially for a small town, sometimes you get the evil eyes from locals. not here. food was HOTT. i had the green chili soup which was homemade. very much enjoyed playing the jubebox for a few songs. they have a pool table too which was sick.

If you're in Nederland, CO, you absolutely have to stop by the Covered Wagon Restaurant and Saloon! Hands down, the best bartender in town is Amy—she made our entire experience so memorable with her friendly service and great recommendations. We were so impressed with the food that we came back the very next day to enjoy it again. The atmosphere was cozy, and the overall experience was fantastic. If you’re looking for great food and amazing service, this is the place to be! Amy definitely made our visit unforgettable!
