About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Great for brunch
  • Kid-friendly
Dining at The Buffalo Rose is more than a delightful culinary experience, it is also a trip back in time to the American West just as it was in the late 19th century. A visit to Golden simply isn’t complete without a stop in at The Pulse of Golden Since 1859.
Our beautiful collection of new and recently renovated historic buildings are located in the very heart of downtown Golden, directly beneath the “Howdy Folks – Welcome to Golden” sign, so we’re really easy to find.
Come on in, grab bite, and feel the pulse of Golden, Colorado.

    Buffalo Rose, Strong menu, plenty of choices, including for my Gluten Free wife. Food was very fresh, margarita was ok, not outstanding. Ambience was great, open patio and comfortable indoors as well. Service was very professional, offered alternatives that the kitchen could do to meet our dietary needs, and food arrived fairly quickly despite a full restaurant on a Saturday night. Definitely would go come back.

    We hosted an out of town guest who had a dog. We looked for a restaurant in Golden, although we had never visited there. It is a charming small town. Buffalo Rose was a winner. They love dogs. The servers and service were exceptional. The food was excellent and generous. Absolutely no complaints!

    Dirty restaurant. Disgusting bathroom. Cold food. Waitress brought food back after “top cook in the kitchen fixed it for me” (her words)and it was a bit warm but now extremely dry.

    Nice to have unique choices beyond the burgers on everyone’s menu. Server talked me into something that prob wasn’t my vibe, but that was my fault. Food was flavorful and loved people watching the street. Would recommend.

    This is probably a fun place for a later meal and a concert or to watch games on tv. Was a bit casual for brunch and food was just ok
