Good afternoon Smith Valley!
We wanted to give everyone an update on some store hour changes for this week and menu hours for the upcoming weeks of the summer.
Since we lost the longest tenured employee in this building, our rock, our beloved Sue Wood, last year, we, the owners, have been at the store 14-16 hours a day, 7 days a week.
We've added a pizza kitchen, lost our wonderful grill and then got it back, and have gotten this year's BBQ back on the menu. We have been hard at work and we know most of our community appreciates what we've made Buckboard Station into. A gathering place for quality food. A place to order and take food home to our families. A saloon where our community can have a drink after a long hard day's work.
What this means for us as Buckboard Station owners, is that we have added preparation hours to our plates and, quite honestly, our feet hurt (literally) from being on them every day for the last 10 months, and we need a few days break from preparing breakfast, making donuts and cinnamon rolls, making pizza dough, prepping BBQ for the weekend special, etc, etc.
That said, we are hoping everyone understands that we have thoroughly discussed a change in overall and menu availability hours for this week and the coming weeks.
This Tuesday and Wednesday, store hours will be 10am - 6pm, with lunch service starting at 10:30am. Our Pizzeria will be closed on Tuesday and Wednesday and we will be resuming our 7am breakfast service Thursday morning.
Also due to our consistent short staffing the Pizzeria schedule will be changing moving forward, with the Pizzeria open Thursdays through Sundays only.
Finally, due to the last few weekend's BBQ special being slow, we will postpone the next BBQ weekend until Father's Day weekend to run the menu for all of the Dad's in our community!
Thank you everyone for understanding!
We love being here for you all!
