Gonna have to try the exotic meat like elk and quail. Little bit on the pricey side but the elk steak and birds combination platter was seasoned and cook to perfection. It was juicy inside. We also tried the t bone steak perfectly medium rare. The garden salad with blue cheese was refreshing. We didn't like the mashed potatoes though. Perfect old fashioned whiskey and peach mule as well. Definitely something to try when you're in the area - and the ambience is a plus. Also better to get reservation ahead.
Awesome food, great service and fun decor! If you're looking for a place with some good food that has a little flair then this is the place for you! Tried this place for the first time and it did not disappoint. The serving size is huge and can be split between two people. I got the NY Strip and it was soooo tasty and a very large portion. The atmosphere is not only historic but also very unique. There is taxidermy all along the walls as well as historical pieces mixed in between. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful and also full of a cool anecdote or two on the building as well. If you haven't been, I suggest you make your way here to try some delicious food with a little flair.
We were traveling from out of state and saw a tiktok about this place. We decided we needed to give it a try since it has history. This was by far the worst part of our trip to Denver... be warned. Parking: There is free parking in the back of the building. When we first walked in we were greeted and brought to our reserved tables upstairs. If you decide to try this place, get a reservation and do downstairs. There is so much more to look at downstairs! Instead, we were brought to a backroom that was much cooler(in temp) and had way less to look at... we felt "put into the corner." It was busy, and it appeared they were short staffed. It took a long time for our server to get to us. She was very sweet and I definitely felt for her, she was really trying! However, it took awhile to get our drinks, the complimentary bread came out after our appetizer and house salads... anything complimentary should come out right away. The food: We got the Rocky Mountain oysters and I actually thought they were good! The cocktail sauce is very tomato forward and the "horseradish sauce" was a joke! There was absolutely no flavor and I am convinced it was just sour cream! If you do order these, ask for their ranch- it was dill flavored and delicious! The house salad was good But wet... like I had water on my plate. If you want a Caesar Salad it will cost an extra 7.50!!!!!!!!! Why!? That doesn't make any sense! The complimentary sourdough was good but the whipped butter had no taste at all... we had to sprinkle some salt on it for it to actually taste decent. We got the New York strip 16oz and the Elk steaks. The New York strip was the worst steak we have ever had! It was supposed to be cooked to a medium but was definitely closer to a medium rare. The butter on top did not have any flavor and was pointless. It had a fair amount of fat on it and the crust tasted "ashy" to us. It was expensive so we ate it, but terrible! The mashed potatoes were not mashed well! I had a whole potato in it! The veggies were mushy and overcooked. The elk steaks were actually very good! I would recommend that! The wild rice was brown rice with a few wild rice pieces... and again mushy veggies! The total price for one alcoholic drink, one bottled soda, a half order of Rocky Mountain oysters, the New York strip and elk steaks was over $200 with tip. We went to the restrooms afterwards and they were disgusting and dirty! If we are spending over $200 on a meal it better be great service, food and ambiance! This missed the mark HEAVILY! If you do feel the need to go here, get a table downstairs, make a reservation, get the Rocky Mountain oysters with the dill ranch and the elk steaks.
Glad we came. Elk and bison needed more seasoning but were cooked to order (med rare).... The bison was really tender. The game tips (under appetizers) were good... the navy bean and ham soup was less desirable, had no flavor even though it was made with pork. Lots of history and historical items to view...
The ambiance is a 10 out of 10- when you can look on the wall and see a fishing license that was John F Kennedy's you know that the rustic charm is in full effect. Service- 10 out of 10- the waitress even remembered that it was my son's birthday and offered a free dessert. She was very easy-going and was always there to get me another beverage or if I needed anything. Food- 6/10- we started off with the Rocky Mountain oysters, which I am thankful that the waitress stated that they were your typical oysters and explained what they were. They still were appetizing and we both ordered the bison fillet, which was OK. In my opinion, it's just not my best type of steak. I would rather have spent money going to a higher class steakhouse but this was great just because it is the oldest steakhouse in Colorado.
Many years ago I ate here with friends and it was an adventure trying out different game meats I otherwise never encountered surrounded by ancient (and admittedly somewhat alarming) taxidermy. It was a fond memory and unforgettable experience. Literally decades later, I was back in Denver for a conference with a friend who became enthralled with my description of the Buckhorn Exchange. I was happy enough to let memories lie, but she very much wanted to try it. I had no objections so we went. It was a mistake. I should've left my memories of this institutional restaurant as they were, bathed in the golden light of memory, where my recollections were positive and infused with the unique tastiness of bison and pheasant. My friend and I ordered the combo platter of elk and bison, both of us requesting medium rare. The combo came with a navy bean and ham soup. The soup was mediocre and bland. The meat came out medium well to mostly well done, resulting in both cuts being extremely chewy, dry, and tasteless. It was a busy night, so when the entrées came out and even though we discovered the meat had been overcooked on first cut, we were unable to flag down our friendly but overwhelmed server. Starved, we ate what we could alongside the over cooked vegetables which tasted like they came out of the freezer in a bag. When the server finally checked in with us, we had eaten half of the meat. It had literally been almost an hour since we had sat down so while she offered to go back and tell the kitchen, we declined. The server, seeing how overcooked the meat was, then offered to comp us dessert. Up shot: this is undoubtedly, an iconic restaurant in the Denver area, serving a distinctly unique menu and opportunity to taste different game. I was happy to see that the restaurant is still around. However, I should've let my memories stay as they were, and not returned. The meal was a huge disappointment, and outrageously overpriced for the quality. The server was wonderful and friendly, but absolutely overwhelmed with the number of tables and impossible to flag down when we realized our meat had been overcooked not just by little but a lot. The ambience remains unchanged. Not a surprise since that is part of its charm: well over 100 stuffed animal, heads and full animals posted throughout the restaurant, making for a distinct interior that is unforgettable. Servers are well-versed in the history of the establishment and easily share the colorful tales of how the restaurant came to be. So if you have money to burn, or you really want to try different sorts of game and want the distinct experience of eating at this unusual restaurant, it's worth visiting. Just make sure you check the meat as soon as it comes out, and are not as overly polite as my friend and I were in taking pity on the server, waiting too many tables and not checking in on us. The appetizers and desserts are okay but not worth the trip. Wishing the owners well and rooting for the Buckhorn to still be there next time I'm back in Denver (but I won't be returning).
I was only in town for a bit and had to try this place. My family stopped in to see it and get a few appetizers. Obviously, the atmosphere is amazing. Everyone was super friendly and we loved being there. As for the food, we got an order of the sweet chili duck wings and the Rocky Mountain oysters. The duck wings were absolutely some of the best wings I've ever had. Amazing flavor! The Rocky Mountain oysters had me nervous because my wife and son had never had them and they were skeptical. Buckhorn does them right. They were fried perfectly and the cocktail sauce mixed with the horseradish sauce pair perfectly. A really fun place to have a meal
We love the buckhorn exchange!! Such a cool location with all the taxidermy and history. A great place to bring people who are visiting. The steak is consistently perfectly cooked, and all our servers have been amazing. Definitely an expensive place, but worth it. Even the bathrooms are worth visiting!
This place is amazing and packed with so much history! The service was great from the hostess to our waitress and even the chef! We ordered taste of the wild the lamb and buffalo prime rib was so delicious the quail was cooked to perfection. All in all was a great experience definitely worth trying and next time I'm in Colorado I will dine here again.
So me and the wife heard about this place. So we decided to give it a try. So glad we did the building is amazing so old and got so much character. You walk in there are taxidermy animals everywhere. The staff is so friendly and helpful. Our waitress was amazing and the food was amazing as well. There is so much history in that building and antiques all over it's so awesome just to walk around it has two floors and you need to check everything out. We had the special which was a ribeye and it was delicious. Highly recommend this place if you're in Denver! We definitely will be back. Cheers
Great for a drink, and the decor, pass on the food. If you are considering having dinner at Buckhorn Exchange, my best advice is this: come for a drink to soak in the history, but head elsewhere for a steak. If you're looking for a truly high-end steakhouse experience in Denver, you're much better off at A5, Guard and Grace, or Urban Farmer. The Atmosphere & Service Having lived in Denver for over eight years, we finally decided to look past the mixed reviews and see this landmark for ourselves. The "Old World" charm is definitely there, the taxidermy and history filling both floors are incredibly unique and worth seeing. We were seated promptly for our reservation and opted for the upstairs to get the full effect of the ambiance. Our server, Dan, was friendly and attentive, and the water service was excellent (they never let our glasses drop below half full). The Appetizers Unfortunately, the charm stopped at the decor. We started with the Fried Artichoke Hearts, which were a massive disappointment. They were essentially deep-fried dough balls; it was hard to even find or taste the actual artichoke. We also tried the Smoked Buffalo Sausage, which was flavorful and tasty, though the polenta served with it was completely flavorless--even with cheese on top. The Salads A house salad is included, but we all opted for the $7.50 Caesar salad upgrade. While the lettuce was bright and the dressing-to-lettuce ratio was good, it wasn't anything special. For a nearly $8 upcharge, we expected more than just lettuce, dressing, and two tomatoes in the corner. Maybe consider a smaller upcharge (e.g. half of that) if people opt out of the anchovies. The Entrées For a restaurant that sells itself as a premier steakhouse, the execution on the meat was subpar: * Prime Rib: I ordered mine rare (red throughout), but it arrived medium to medium-rare with no red on the outside. It was clearly overcooked. I didn't even touch the outside edge (it was brown throughout). * Buffalo/Elk Combos: Two people at our table ordered these medium-rare; they arrived medium-plus and were quite crusty and chewy. * Sides: The "grilled" vegetables tasted more boiled/steamed and lacked any seasoning. However, I will give credit to the horseradish cream, the extra fresh horseradish on top was a delicious touch. The au jus was also very flavorful. The Verdict For four people, including three cocktails, our bill came to $500. At that price, you expect precision and high-quality flavors, neither of which were present. We won't be back for a meal. This is a great spot to show out-of-towners the taxidermy over a beer, but for the price of the food, there are far better options right downtown.
MY cousin took us here and we had a blast! We started off with some rocky mountain oysters and they were amazing! I love how tasted like chicken nuggets. The interior design of this place is phenomenal. I went upstairs for a quick tour after dinner and took some pictures. We ordered the ribeye special that they had along with Elk and bison combo. We split the food among the 3 of us and had leftovers. The ribeye was super juicy and tender. I'm a huge ribeye fan, so I would definitely order it again if I see it on the menu next time I return. The elk and bison were interesting. I enjoyed trying them, but not sure if I'll order them again. It's one of those you really have to like it to order again, but I don't hate it. The double chocolate rocky brownie was the best way to end dinner after a heavy meaty dinner. Overall, I had a great time here and do not mind coming back here again when I visit Denver.
I've never had such flavor-less food at a restaurant before. The only thing this place has going for it is (1) the history, and (2) the service -- but, in my opinion, that's not enough of a reason to visit a restaurant. Upon entry, the vibe of the location was true to its origins with taxidermy and outdoors/cabin-like decor. The menus were cool and "old school" as well; they were printed on newspapers and included interesting reads in addition to the actual menu items. The appetizers arrived to the table very quickly but it didn't seem like any of it was freshly prepared. The food was all missing salt and any other flavorings. And the only sauce that had much taste had an overwhelming horseradish taste. Three stars was really due to the excellent service! Our waters were consistently topped off and even once we told the sever we would not be eating dinner there after tasting the appetizers, she was still extremely friendly and understanding (she seemed used to it). read more

good service & everything was pretty quick. To be honest, the menu isnt that large and diverse. if you dont eat meat or have a flexible diet, you might not be able to eat here. i grabbed the house salad which was huge, but nothing special. the rocky mountain oysters were interesting, first time trying, and overall good. they are very sharable. full bar & theres an upstairs area too if downstairs is packed. free parking on the side. read more

Wow. What a setting. Founded in 1893, I'm not sure much has been done to update it. Which is perfect. Tons of taxidermy on the walls which sets the scene. The waitress was nice, prompt and informative about the menu, which is pretty varied. I went for the special of the night, ostrich steak. Never had it before and I'm not sure I need to have it again. It was good; just jot something I'm going to search out, which I would have to back home. We started with the buffalo sausage and Rocky Mountain oysters. The sausage was excellent with a delicious sauce accompanying it. The Rocky Mountain oysters were good, not sure I'd make a big deal out of it unless you know what they are (google them). Dessert eat the apple pie a La mode, split between three of us. Very good. Lots of food so be sure you come hungry. read more
Oldest bar in Colorado! Amazing history behind this restaurant. The inside is filled with taxidermy animals and feels like you are in a museum. Would not recommend for vegetarians as the menu is primarily meat. Our waitress was very nice and she gave us free dessert because we did wait on our second drinks for a while. The quail was my favorite bite, followed by the apple pie, and sausage appetizer. After eating make sure to walk around downstairs and upstairs taking in all the restaurant has to offer! read more

Visited 10/22/2022 This place is a Legend in Denver Co. Over 100 years old under the same roof. Service is excellent. Ambulance is fun and informative. The food is tasty and well done. The menu has choices for everyone. I give 4 1/2 stars for the great time we had for dinner and for a first for me having The Rocky Mountain Oysters. Everyone Should Try These at least Once in their life. You will be surprised and pleased at the same time. Enjoy. read more

Met my old roomies for dinner before flying out. Hubs and I wanted some good meat and found this place. 100+ years. Loved the feel. If you're anti dead-animals, stay out. We appreciate working for your food so it was cool for us. Started with the artichoke hearts. Pretty good! Only thing is we still had some and they kept wanting to take it away! Roomie had special elk and buffalo tenderloins...she was pleased with her meal. Roomie had new york strip...she was also pleased. Hubs had ... I think elk. He mopped. I had buffalo prime rib and salmon. YUM. Too much food for me, but I got to have a nice breakfast and snack later. Restroom upstairs. Also more animals, including a decent sized axis deer. Check it out... read more

Came here to try some Rocky Mountain oysters! If you're afraid to try them, definitely don't be! They taste like deep fried chicken skin and calamari but all in one! I usually don't get fish at a steak house, but I was torn between goat and their salmon. I noticed they offered mixed plates so I asked to make my own mix of two proteins and they made it happen! Everything was cooked extremely well! You definitely need to have a reservation for this place, and be prepared to spend a good amount on the food, however, it's totally worth it! read more
Such a great experience eating here. Even if you aren't big on meat, it's a good experience. The service was quick (coming from someone that had drove directly to dinner after 7 hours of driving) and the atmosphere was fun. The food was also very delicious! Very limited menu that works since it's mainly a steakhouse. I got a combo plate of salmon and chicken and it was very delicious. The star of our meal was the catfish chowder which is only available on special. Very pricey but the plates are very large. read more

Killer game meat menu in old west setting. My blackened buffalo prime rib was outstanding! Drinks were good and service was prompt and friendly. I'll be back anytime in Denver read more
I think I got what I expected, an experience. There is so much to look at in the restaurant. Make sure to go upstairs to see the bears! The food: I thought everything was one note. Not much flavor in any of the dishes we ordered. The fried alligator had no flavor. The mushroom soup was runny, And the calamari was rubbery. My porterhouse steak was the best thing we ordered, it was cooked perfect and it was a good cut of meat. Their baked potato is covered in cheese before any butter or sour cream gets put on, I wish I would have said no cheese. We got there at 6pm and the parking lot was already full. The spots are also pretty tight. I was able to find street parking, but if you can just take the light rail. The stop is literally across the little street. So easy! Make sure to look down when leaving, there is quite a big step to exit to the street. My Mom almost missed it. Should be a sign saying STEP. read more
We really enjoyed this restaurant while visiting Denver. We were looking for elk and bison, and this place was recommended. They did not disappoint with the game meat on the menu. The food and service wasn't perfect, but I love the history and decor, which more than made up for it. I got to try ostrich, which was served by itself on a plate which was a little weird for how expensive it was. But at least I get to say I've tried it. The server got what we ordered wrong a couple times, but we didn't bother sending it all back because we had a toddler and couldn't keep him waiting. My bison prime rib that I ordered medium rare was cooked to medium, and was cooked on both ends. The wild rice was undercooked and hard. The bean soup and bread was good. That said, it was still very fun because there was so much to look at with all the different rooms. Probably wouldn't come back, but I would recommend it to others. read more
We came here with no reservation. It was fine since we only did appetizers. It's a historical landmark so we wanted to stop by here to experience it. We ordered peaches and cream bottled soda, Rocky Mountain oysters (bull testicles), and fried gator tail. I liked the soda, definitely never that flavor before. Rocky Mountain oysters were good with cocktail sauce. It does have a unique taste and I would order it again. The fried gator tail was ok, it lacked any seasoning. For the price, it could have been marinated in something to give it that extra "wow" factor. I wanted to try the rattlesnake but not for $39. Service was good. Staff was friendly. I recommend a one time only if you're in the area. read more

Denver's oldest restaurant? Let's see what it's all about! The decorations is eclectic for sure but, I like it. We got there when they first opened so it wasn't busy. The lunch crowd started showing up. We were told this place had all the different meats. Oysters? I love oysters. Oh wait, these are balls? Good thing I love those too. You can't come to Denver and not get some Rocky Mountain Oysters. These were battered and fried and literally served like fried oysters. It's honestly not bad. It's deep fried goodness. It was bit oily but, I didn't mind. My husband who was like hell no also tried it and didn't hate it. I think it was the sauce for him... He got the bison burger which was a bit dry. Overall, it was a neat dining experience that I am glad we got to do while visiting Denver. read more

You definitely come here for the atmosphere instead of the food. The moment you walk into this historic landmark, there's a museum full of taxidermy animal heads that line the walls. We were able to get a reservation on Open Table, so we drove 1.5 hours down from Rocky Mountain National Park to get there for dinner after someone suggested we had to see this frontier restaurant. We ordered The Big Steak for two. After filling up on bread and salad, our server carved the large steak tableside. The flavor was just okay, even with the mushrooms added. read more
The Buckhorn Exchange is a must-go for any tourist visiting Denver! It's also just across the street from the train entrance for easy going to and back from the Downtown and the Mall. I highly recommend getting the Bison Ribeye! City folk like myself can never try exotic meats like Bison and it was like a lean, flavorful piece of meat. It was tender as well and the meat was packed with flavor. It was very different than the fatty cowboy ribeyes we normally get at steak houses. We also go the Elk Steak but that was terrible and I wouldn't recommend anyone get it. It was a bit tough but mostly it lacked any flavor at all. It needs a bucket load of sauce to even taste like anything. Just stick with the Bison here. My only complaint here is that it's extremely loud. Buckhorn presents itself as a steakhouse but has more of a tavern-feel. Don't expect to have a quiet night out or romantic dinner, as the other patrons were shouting and standing on their chairs throughout our dinner experience. read more
We sat at 4 pm right after they opened. Atmosphere was cool! Showcasing hundreds of thousands of different hunted animals including elks, deers, birds, etc. service was friendly and our server recommended us to go to the 2/F to take pics with the hunted animals. Foods were a brand new experience to me and I've ordered Rocky Mountain oysters! First time had this dish and surprisingly it was good. Thanks to this restaurant for an amazing experience! read more

We had dinner here on Sunday around 4p, it wasn't too busy when we got there so probably didn't need a reservation. The taxidermy and old articles/artifacts on the wall were super interesting. Our server let us order then walk around a bit before bringing our food, which we appreciated. Overall we thought the service was 10/10. For apps we got the Rocky Mountain Oysters and Alligator Tail, which came with delicious horseradish and cocktail sauce. We asked for extra horseradish and they brought us an entire ramekin of it. For dinner we shared the two quail and mashed potatoes, which were very well cooked. Loved the glaze on the quail. Last, but not least, we tried the apple pie a la mode with the cinnamon rum sauce and I would recommend!! Perfectly sweet and the crunchy texture of the rum sauce went well with the pie. I would definitely bring friends/relatives here as it has good food and is super interesting to explore. read more

When in Denver, this restaurant is a must! The ambience is one of a kind with numerous mountain animals on the walls, which really gives you a great outdoorsy feel. Here you get to try some of the best wild game meats such as elk, buffalo, and quail. Everything was cooked to perfection! The service was exceptional! Our server, Mara was incredibly kind and attentive. Next time you're in Denver check out this historic restaurant. You won't be disappointed! read more

Came here to eat, as it was my boyfriend and I last night in Colorado. Searched Yelp and this gem popped up. Sort of in a weird location, you'll find it next to the train tracks. No surprise it's one of the oldest restaurants in Colorado, as it makes sense for its location I suppose. Go there just before it opened and was able to get seated right away without a reservation, thankfully. Surely, I was glad we did because the place filled up quickly with people that had made reservations and walk-ins. When you walk in, you immediately feel like you've traveled back in time to an old trophy room full of animals on display. Truly a hunter's paradise with all the stuffed animals lining the walls. Also, JFK's old fishing license is posted on the wall, so you get to see old documents as well. Make sure you visit upstairs, as you'll see a large Kodiack bear on display. This was my first time here and my boyfriend and I loved it. We even took the menus home as a souvenir. To me, this is what a steakhouse is all about. When I envision a steakhouse, this is the kind of place that comes to mind. Bathrooms are clean, but because of old plumbing, do not flush anything but toilet paper. read more

The first thing that hits you when you arrive at the Buckhorn is that it's the last old Denver thing standing around you. We were talented of as soon as we stepped through the door. The hostess was very knowledgeable of the history and the waitress was very informative of the menu as well as the dinner specials. The food was delicious with very nice portions. Our group was very pleased with the overall experience and the museum of old Denver. I highly recommend the Buchhorn Exchange! read more

If you want a fun and festive place to enjoy a special holiday meal, I recently had a perfect birthday celebration dinner for 16 people at the Buckhorn Exchange. The waitstaff made sure everything was perfectly choreographed and executed (Sarah and Mara, our primary servers, are the best!), the food was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the historic atmosphere is enthralling while also being unpretentious. With a large group, it's natural to worry about what the service will be like and whether everyone will be pleased with the menu choices. However, everything was seamless starting from the moment we arrived. Waters were placed on the table, drink orders were taken immediately and served quickly, then came rolls with soft butter, the appetizers that we shared family-style, then salads and soups, and the entrees were all delivered simultaneously and still piping hot, as were the desserts. Empty beverages were replenished promptly, finished plates along with eating utensils were removed almost unnoticed, and any other request was quickly attended to. Every guest remarked this was among one of the best meals that they ever had, and we had tough critics including chefs, restaurant investors, world travelers, and a 3-year-old who ate most of her buffalo prime rib followed by a good portion of her parents' dessert. It was a perfect evening without complaint made memorable thanks to quality cuisine from the back of the house and top drawer service from the front of the house. read more
Go for the experience and history, not so much for the foods. My husband wanted to try elk and alligator, plus he was excited to just check this place out for the experience based on what he's read about the place. They have unique offerings on the menu from elk to buffalo to cornish hen, etc. Definitely not vegetarian/vegan friendly. Each meat entree comes with two sides, soup/salad and types of potato/beans. I opted for the salmon meal (wasn't hungry unfortunately) blackened style with salad and ranch, and garlic mashed potatoes. My husband had the elk with soup and garlic mashed potatoes as well. We got the fried alligator as appetizer - it was pretty small portion. Tastes like skinny fried chicken. Our server was super friendly and checked in on us. She refilled my coke once she saw it was empty. We sat upstairs, in the back, where it was a bit chilly. Bring a sweater! I was only wearing shorts and a shirt and was cold the entire time. Lots of taxidermy decor on the wall - we had fun walking around and seeing the various types of animals. We got our salad/soup first, along with the appetizer and bread. The veggies didn't taste fresh, probably store bought and been in the fridge for a few days. The ranch was good though. The bread was a little stale and cold, again I didn't expect much. The foods finally came after about 15 min wait. The blackened salmon was really good and the garlic mashed potatoes was creamy. The salmon was crispy on the outside with the right seasonings, and the fish tasted fresh. My husband enjoyed his elk. Overall a decent meal and great place to try the various types of meats that you normally can't get at other restaurants/steakhouses. read more

A unique dining experience. I was amazed at the taxidermy-lined walls. It was difficult to eat because everyone was staring at me - lol! The food has numerous choices of meats that I have never had before, but now was my chance; I had the elk and the quail - delicious! The staff was welcoming and knowledgeable. Make it a point to walk around and enjoy every inch of this place. read more
