    Great western food, entertainment and pre-activities
    Had a fantastic time on Valentine's Day! Road the bull, threw axes, and hit the bullseye with the COLT 45 (BB gun). Then laughed our heads off with the Spouse Whisperer after a great dinner. The staff did great escorting the hecklers out the door.

    DONT MISS THIS
    A local guide told us about Blazin' M Ranch, and we are super glad he did. Wasn't sure what to expect because we have been to many dinner/show venues, but we had the best time attending this event. I have to split this into 3 parts because with the general admission price you really get 3 experiences. 1) at 5pm the gates open, and you are free to wander their little western town, complete with shops and a salon, but also included in your ticket price, you get to try riding a mechanical bull, shoot a six-shooter, throw axes and ride around the park getting a little tour on a "wagon" pulled by a tractor. I didn't expect this to all be included for free. What a cool deal. At an extra cost, you can have an old-time dressup cowboy group picture or do their escape room or play putt-putt golf. The lawn area has gobs of free games for the family to play, like corn-hole, giant Jenga, and a bunch of others. The little kids may want to venture over to the petting zoo to see the goats, while the parents visit the salon for a draft beer or cocktail. 2) at 6:30pm the dinner bell rings and you wander into the "barn" to get ready for a great dinner of bbq ribs and chicken with all the fixings. (this is worth the price of admission alone) I've never been to a dinner show where the host invites everyone to come up for seconds. I love bbq ribs so I was in 7th heaven. You aren't going to leave this place hungry. 3) at 7:30pm the western music show starts. This was so much wholesome fun. The band and singers kept the entire crowd entertained, and I was grinning so much at the end of the evening, that my cheeks hurt. The show ended with a cool surprise, but I'm not telling. This is a family run enterprise and the love they all put into having you as their guests really shows. I know they have special shows or music/band themes from time to time, so check their schedule to see what show is going on. We attended the western music show which was great. Be sure to get your tickets early because they do sell out. Too much fun.

    Crazy fun at the BlazinM
    Overall brilliant experience all round. It more than ticked all the boxes, but also perfectly got the balance of pre vs post dinner activities and entertainment - pitched perfectly for all ages, with some hidden gems thrown in for good measure. You get exactly what you expect, lots of fun, but if silliness with it, post show music was awesome. Quality of the food was great too. My two boys said it was their favourite thing we did all week (11&15)

My friends and I went to Sedona and it was raining so we cancelled our hikes and decided to look into best things to do when it rains and this came up with rave reviews. We got the classy cowboy package and it was well worth it. The old-timey photos were very fun to take and the escape room was short but fun. The mechanical bull and axe throwing were very enjoyable and we had multiple chances to do each of these activities, but we did skip lassoing and sharp shooting. The drinks were quite tasty and the food was great. The barbecue sauce was my favorite part of the food. The show was definitely the highlight of the night. Everyone in it was very talented and it was overall a wonderful and entertaining watch. I also want to give this place a shoutout for being very mindful of people with disabilities/mobility issues and also people of all backgrounds. This is fun for all ages (genuinely, the ages of people there ranged from elementary school aged kids to senior citizens).

Wanted a country vibe for our evening activities and this was what we came up with. I’ve been on a chuck wagon meal dinner in Kansas before and this was good too. The meat choices were chicken and/or ribs. I wish I had bought a container of the prickly pear bbq sauce. It made the meat tasty. Beans were ho-hum, but overall a tasty meal.

I am glad they offer a senior discount. Be aware that the extras of axe throwing, sharp shooting, etc. have additional fees. We just watched others doing it while we sipped our Irish Sass (root beer with Bailey’s)

This is pretty much similar to a dinner theater—for the price you get a meal and a show. Country-inspired songs and a family-friendly show

The performers spend time talking on stage, and it gets boring, their skids are poorly produced. Do not play traditional country songs like before, ... the seating has improved. The performances are slow and do not attract the attention of many visitors. It also seems the the new "woke" social attitudes have impacted the stage production. They do not praise the USA like before, they seem to be "afraid". We have seen the old show many times but will not come back nor recommended it like before.

We stumbled upon this place because we were camping in Dead Horse park next door. What a fun find! It has a family-owned kind of vibe, and everyone is extremely friendly who interact with the guests. We had low expectations (we're in a small town in Arizona, for gosh sakes) and the talent level was far above what we expected. Very entertaining, lots of fun before the show, and the show was great. Next time we're camping next door we won't miss it.

The evening starts off by wandering around the cute old western town, where I was able to throw a hatchet and shoot a revolver (for a small fee), enjoy a drink on the lawn and take a tractor ride around the grounds. Then we were welcomed into the dinner and show. Great service and a memorable good time.

We had a fun filled evening with grandkids ( 11 and 8)! We arrived around 5 pm and had time to explore, shoot at the shooting gallery and shop before sitting for dinner.
Picnic table seating and buffet style dining with plenty of BBQ good and fixins!
The entertainment is western, fun and funny. Great foot stomping music!
A great and memorable evening.
Plenty of parking.

You are entertained from the minute you walk in. Live entertainment for the hour and a half before dinner. Plenty of things to entertain children and shops look like an old western town. The chuck wagon dinner was very good. You could go back for seconds if you wanted too but I did not see anyone take advantage because there was plenty on your plate the first time around. The show was very entertaining. We would go back.

I can't recommend this place. For the price, the food should be a lot better. It's barely bad buffet quality. So your basically paying for the entertainment value, which still seems a bit high. Best part of the night is the very end, with the Ghost Riders schtick. This place could do so much better thagh.
