***THE SERVERS TIP SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE PRICE OF TICKET!!***
AND YOU SHOULD NOT FORCE EVERYBODY TO TAKE A PHOTO AT THE BEGINNING, IT SHOULD BE TO THE SIDE AND EVERYBODY GIVEN A CHOICE TO PASS BY OR STOP IN A DIFFERENT LINE... 2 GIFT SHOPS NOW!?!? REALLY Y'ALL...

There was 8 of us that attended. All the representatives were friendly and professional. Our server, Gabe, was excellent š He ensured our glasses remained full throughout the show. The show was really good. The horses and Buffalo were a treat to see.

I have nothing to complain about, and trust me, I love complaining. Look at my other reviews, so many one stars. The food, quite tasty, I was expecting less but it went above my standards for a mass produced food service. The server was as attentive as could be given they had so many other people to attend to.
Itās spendy but it was pretty good. Not sure Iād go again unless it was for the Hanukkah show during the holidays.

Stampede is always a fun place, having a different show around November requires a second visit. The food is ok and the staff is good

If I could give zero stars, I would. Dolly Partonās Stampede is one of the worst ādinner showsā Iāve ever sat through, and Iām using the word dinner generously.
The food? Think county jail cafeteria vibes: one sad scoop slapped on your plate, cold and flavorless. Honestly, a $5 box meal from KFC wouldāve been hotter, tastier, and way more satisfying. For what they charge here, itās a flat-out scam.
And the show? Painful. Instead of fun entertainment, you get outdated stereotypes and cringe-worthy skits, some of which slide right into racist territory. In 2025, thereās no excuse for this kind of tone-deaf garbage. Itās awkward, offensive, and embarrassing to sit through.
This place coasts on Dollyās name but delivers nothing sheād be proud of. Itās a tourist trap serving cold food and a show stuck in the past.
Bottom line: Save your money. Go to KFC and catch literally any other show youāll leave far happier.

Show was good, but i dont need to go see it again. Our Server Sara in VIP was great!
I was disappointed with the food. Bringing out 1 food item at a time and setting it on your plate. Some people would like to enjoy it all together. Seating is way too close together to enjoy your dinner. Parking & seating everyone was unorganized & chaotic. I dont think its was worth the money. Sorry

My husband and I had dinner here on 8/16 and had such a great time! The food was amazing and the show was absolutely beautiful. Conner was our server and he did a fantastic job. We sat in VIP, but honestly I donāt think it makes a huge differenceālast time I sat higher up and actually enjoyed the view from there even more. It really comes down to personal preference.
One tip: I recommend using the restroom before the show starts, since the seating can feel a little awkward if you need to get out once itās going.
The whole performance was so entertaining! My favorite part is when the kids get to chase the chickens in a race. Skeeterās skits are hilarious tooāhis chicken skit was my husbandās absolute favorite.
Overall, a wonderful night out with great food, laughter, and memories!

It was okay but the pirate show was way better and their staff was nicer. Bring extra cash, our server demanded tips from everyone in our party which was quite awkward since some of us didnāt come with cash. Trying to enjoy a show and the server is shoving a sign in your face demanding you to read it (about tipping) isnāt good service, come on now š
