I saw some reviews regarding the ranch posted here instead on the "Historic" listing under things to do in Longview. Anyway, kudos to the keepers of this little café. We had the blackened grilled Cajun chicken sandwich which was delicious! They had quite the assortment of items on the menu. Service was friendly, fast, and reasonable priced. We enjoyed our day at Bar U Ranch, café and gift shop.

My mother is in her 90s and uses a wheelchair and the interpretive Centre was easily accessible. Since she is able to walk with assistance we were also able to visit the gift shop, where the aisles are too narrow for her wheelchair. The ranch buildings are at the bottom of a small hill which is about a 1/4 mile walk one way, no problem for the able bodied, or guests can ride down in the wagon pulled by a beautiful Percheron team. Because neither option worked for Mom, guest services drove us to the buildings in a van and picked us up when our visit was done. All the interpreters we interacted with were young, raised in modern ranch culture in the area and knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The breakfast we had was excellent, great coffee! Well worth the visit, particularly for us, as my parents grew up in the general area and during the 30s and 40s lived that lifestyle.
