   I don’t know that I have had better service to be honest. I was with a group of 10 and there wasn’t a time our drinks went below half full. Food was prompt cooked properly this was a great experience!

   Steak was not prepared how we asked - was very rare and cold. Server was nice but often got items wrong, especially cocktails. Extra staff was accommodating but was often reaching over us and getting in personal space. Not accommodating to dietary restrictions (no veggie options besides small side salad). Overall, thought this place was overrated and outdated.

    Unique restaurant with a unique menu. Both the food and service are excellent. Easy access on the light rail. Great place for history buffs or people who want something other than the standard American restaurant fare.

    The service was unbelievable. Food was great, atmosphere was great, but the standout was how pleasant everyone was, from the hostess to the wait staff to the people refilling the waters. An awesome evening!

    While the environment was cool if you are into hunting and history the food was absolutely terrible. Made both my husband and I sick, had no flavor, and was definitely overpriced for what it is.

    If you want a unique experience and different meats this is a good place to go. We got a couple of different meats at our table and the elk, bison and steak were cooked very well but the salmon was over cooked and dry. The sides were good but not remarkable. We would go back again if we were with someone who wanted the experience, but it won’t be somewhere we go out of our way to go again.

    Beef was dry, Elk steak with too small (looked like 5 oz) breading on aoppetizers bland. We were there in 2014 and were very pleased. This visit was disappointing. Food not worth the money.

    Could upgrade the basics - seating, plates, etc. felt cheap. Atmosphere however is cool and food overall fine as well. Dropped $300 on Dinner for two so I guess I expected a little more.

    The Buckhorn Exchange is my Favorite restaurant to dine at in Denver due to its history, variety of delicious Wild Game meals and unique ambiance and decor. The fact that there are hauntings in the women's bathroom make the mystique of the oldest restaurant in Denver even more intriguing. Try the Bison Prime Rib, Elk and Colorado Lamb Chops or get a wild game combo or sampler platter! I'll be back soon!

    Food was just ok. Not worth the price. Supposedly it's under seasoned because that's how the pioneers did it. I wouldn't go back by choice. Except maybe for the Dutch apple pie with that butter rum sauce and vanilla ice cream. That would be worth trying again. Also the wait staff was over zealous and kept trying to take my plates while they were still full of food.

    We requested upstairs seating in our open table RSVP. When we got there they informed us that the upstairs was not open and seated us downstairs. Later during the meal I took a walk to the downstairs “facility” (lavatory) and I was directed upstairs which was open and fully staffed with PLENTY of seating. Service was great. My meal of babyback ribs was dry and tough. I make baby back ribs at home that are MUCH better. All and all, I personally feel the BHE is a novelty you should do at least once. We had fun but probably would not be back. Note: I’m not a red meat/game food eater. We went at my wife’s request for her birthday. She enjoyed her bison prime rib. Peace. Out!

    A bit disappointing! Quality of the steak was not prime, even though it said on the menu it was. Pretty tasteless and dry, even though we ordered medium rare. Salmon had good flavor, but way over cooked. Mad potatoes were Luke warm. We booked for a birthday and it was never recognized. Love the wild animal atmosphere, but would just come for a drink in the future!

    Food was terrible. The cut of meat was very poor quality for both the special and off the menu items and very overcooked. Salads were wilty as if they were made the day before. Our waitress was great. The bathrooms were dirty.

    If you’ve ever been to the famous steakhouse in Amarillo (there’s only one), this is similar, more taxidermy, and more game on menu service was great. Food was pretty darn good, fun do kids. A little on the pricey side. Light wine selection, good whiskey selection. Do it at least once! We’ll be back for sure.

    Overall service was good, it was Valentine’s Day so the bussers they had were all over you trying to take your plate every time you put your fork down. 🙈 the rattlesnake queso is way overpriced (over $30) and has very strong lime taste. That was pretty much the main flavor you got out of it. Our steak (porterhouse) was cooked perfectly but had no flavor.

    Buckhorn Exchange is one of those places that you just have to experience. The food is not your usual fare so that makes it even better. Just be prepared to spend a little more... Make sure to walk around and check the place out.
