   Awesome venue. Very interesting history. Service was excellent. Unique food. I’m not a meat eater. They did have fish on the menu.

   Mediocre steak at best. Ordered the signature t-bone. Any regular chain steakhouse could and does make it better. Small crappy salad, mediocre at best bread and sides. Atmosphere is unique but there are far better locations around Denver for this. Don’t waste your time or money here.

   I usually order steak medium, even though I like it medium/rare. This being what I thought was a high quality steak place I assumed they would prepare it as ordered. So I ordered medium/rare. It came black and crusted on the edges and still was purple in the center. like less than rare. and we were never asked if our steak was prepared correctly. very high quality steak. was too bad it wasn’t prepared correctly.

   The novelty of the restaurant is great, but the quality of the food doesn’t quite justify the price.

   We celebrated our son’s Masters degree and picked the perfect place! The service was impeccable. We ordered the table cut steak for 3 to share and had lots of leftovers to take home. It was delicious! We hadn’t been there in many years and were so glad we decided to spend this special event at the Buckhorn!

   Drinks were great, food was fairly bland. I had the ribeye which was a special and isn't typically on the menu. That might explain why it wasn't great. My gf had the buffalo and elk and seemed to enjoy it. I'd go back but only for drinks at that great bar they have upstairs.

   Incredible meal with colleagues from several states. Loved the variety of entrees and apps to chose from most of which you don't find on a typical menu. Very cool experience from beginning to end.

   A really great experience - Marks was our server and did incredible! We felt taken care of, he was accommodating, and made the experience better than imagined! The elk was cooked perfectly, quail was fun to try, and there were some Unique sauces that I appreciated. Thank you!

    It was my Mother's Day gift to my daughter and her daughter and daughter's boy friend. We got there early and were seated right away at a table that gave ys some privacy. The food was great, as usual, and our server was quite attentive. I'll be back!

    The service was outstanding. My steak was overcooked and I didn't say anything because my date was satisfied with his steak. I think the prices were high for what we received.

    The good was good and it's nice to be able to get some meats other than chicken, pork, and beef. But what really made this a memorable occasion was the service. The waitress and the assistants were all fantastic.

    This was my first visit to this iconic restaurant. We arrived early for our reservation and we were seated in the upstairs back of the restaurant where the ambience was not as nice as downstairs IMO. My seat faced the outside wall and condo high-rises which detracted from my view. My son and I both had the chef special - 4 oz each of buffalo and elk tenderloin. Both cuts were perfectly prepared and delicious. Our servers were extremely attentive and professional. There are so many cookie-cutter steakhouses nowadays. This is not that. If you are in search of the extraordinary, this is a must visit. If I were to return (I don't live in the area), I would definitely request to be seated downstairs where the setting is cozier.

    If you’re looking for something authentic & unique. I would say I have found one of those places. Meats ranging from elk, bison & beef. You get multiple choices on the menu. Also available are poultry & fish options. Meal presentations are pictured as something you would eat on the range. After a hard day of herding cattle. I ate the Rocky Mountain oysters for an appetizer. Very familiar with the taste & texture of calamari but, not as chewy. Paired with horseradish & a cocktail sauce. I promise you won’t be able to tell much of a difference. For the main course. I had the combination plate with elk & quail. The elk reminded me of a sirloin steak. I didn’t find the meat too gamy. The quail was delicious. Paired with garlic mashed potatoes. Overall I had a pleasant experience. I would definitely visit this place again.

    We wanted to experience this historic restaurant and were not disappointed by the atmosphere and liked the informative menu. The service was good but not exceptional. The drinks were very disappointing. I would not recommend them. The old fashioned was mostly cherry juice and the margarita was a frozen slushy. Dinner was OK but for the price, you can find much better fare at other restaurants. The Bison prime rib was overcooked and the cornish game hen on my husband's plate looked blackened even though it was not ordered that way. In the end, this felt like a tourist attraction, with food that has not kept up with the culinary standards of other Denver establishments.

    We are moving out of state and seeing/eating at Buckhorn was on our bucket list before we left. We celebrated my husband's bday and our moving. We had so much fun and it was reminiscent of a date night with husband before we got married. The food was great as was the service.

    We had a wonderful evening sharing the Buckhorn with our out of town guests. Food, as always, was excellent. Highlight of the evening was having Jake, our server, regale us with all the history and stories of the Buckhorn. Our guests said this was the highlight of their trip to Colorado.

    We wanted to come to this Denver staple as new Colorado residents. You can just feel the history in this place, which was awesome. There are so many things to look at between the animals and memorabilia. As for the food and drinks, I would honestly say we were a tiny bit underwhelmed. We both got mules which were delicious and of course had to try the rocky mountain oysters which were great! When it came to the entrees, that is where I would say we were a little disappointed. The sides were just okay and the flavor was just alright compared to the pricing. I would definitely go back to try something else or even do just drinks/appetizers.

    Pleasant restaurant with a lot of history behind it. The food was good. Their specialty is clearly preparing meat, which was pretty good. The buffalo prime rib, elk and quail were very good. The buffalo was actually excellent. The 2-person New York strip was completely unseasoned, and tasted bland. The salad, soup, mashed potatoes or baked potato were pretty subpar. I found it to be a little overpriced for what it offered, but overall, given the history, it was worth trying once.
