The Calico House Restaurant re-opened Tuesday, July 1st under new management. After being closed for nearly six months, the new Leasee, Daryl Schendel, has great plans to put the place on the map. And not just for visitors to Calico Ghost Town! Schendel has purchased an 8' smoker and the aromas of slow-cooked tri-tip, ribs and chicken blew over Calico and on into areas around Barstow.
After an official ribbon-cutting last Tuesday, attendees were invited to sample the barbeque offerings and after one bite, those who were there knew that this place was going to be a success. The meats are seasoned with a St. Louis rub and slow cooked until the flavor is completely soaked into the meats and the aromas cover the town. Mouthwatering is the best description!
Schendel has kept the same staff that previously worked at the Calico House Restaurant under the previous management. They know the operation and are geared towards giving great customer service. He will operate the restaurant from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on weekends and major events, will keep open until 8 p.m. Those entering the park after 4 p.m. will not have to pay the park entry fee to dine at the restaurant.
Calico Ghost Town is a tourist destination. Tourists from foreign nations are sure to enjoy sampling the unique flavors of Western fare.
Schendel also plans to open a bakery adjacent to the restaurant carrying breads and pastries heretofore not easily accessed in this area. The bakery is scheduled to open in late fall.
