Covered Wagon Restaurant & Saloon 15 East 1st Street, Nederland, CO 80466

"One of the waitresses/bartenders (I don’t know which, because she didn’t even take our order for food or drinks) was shooing us out of a relatively full bar on a Saturday night 1 hour before posted closing time. No last call was announced. This woman was yelling for us to get out, waving her arms towards the door, and flashing the lights on and off. Absolutely ridiculous."

"A little more effort would go a long way. No customer relation when you walk or ordering your meal, they can make that place great, almost seems like there's no effort being put forth. They should specialize in awesome gourmet Mountain burger and they would kill it. The majority of the food tastes like it was frozen and then cooked right away."

"So much lost potential with this place. The atmosphere isn’t THAT bad. However, the flies are awful. They know it’s an issue since they have fly tape hanging from the ceiling in multiple places. The food, super bland. I get it, buying premade is easier. If you’re going to buy stuff in bulk and deep fry it, you could A) make sure it’s not over fried and B) seasoned with something other than grease. Water is sitting in pitchers, already iced, on the table with plastic cups stacked on top. The pitchers were sweating on to paper plates underneath them, that were attracting flies/gnats. No way to tell how long the water was sitting in there, but the ice was melting and the dinginess just made it almost worth choking down the dry food. The schnitzel sandwich was wafer thin, over cooked and under seasoned. Very dry since it was overly deep fried. Served with giant slices of onion, wilted lettuce and iffy tomatoes, not ripe and hard. I drowned this sandwich in mayo (reluctantly given up packets from the kitchen), chopped the onions better on my plate(they were an inch thick and in huge slices) and made it more edible. Slightly. The tuna melt - not on the menu- listed as a special on a hand written sign as “soon to be famous” - beware it’s spicy. It’s not your typical tuna melt and other than the spice, which I’m guessing is probably jalapeño, is about the only flavor that came through. The fries were over cooked, hollow even and completely unseasoned. The waitresses seemed upset that there were customers that had the audacity to order food and bother them. I’m not even sure who our waitress was as there were only 2 women that came to the table. One to take the order, one to bring the order, she did return with mayo packets but just kind of tossed them at the table as she walked by. Neither seemed happy to actually be dealing with customers. The place has potential if it’s cleaned up, the staff is retrained and the food gets attention. It’s over priced for under performing food and staff."

"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!"
