This place has dramatically changed. It used to be fun with good food and friendly staff. Now it's a hole in the wall dive with terrible food, horrible prices and very rude and neglectful staff. The place was empty and we still got terrible service. Never again. read more

Call me a snob if you will, but I'm not really fan of places that aren't much more than a house with tables set up inside. And a wasp catcher and a fully functional AC are always a bonus. If it's yellow, let it mellow, if it's brown, flush it down: It's one thing to see swear words and cell numbers carved into the table from visitors, and another to see pleasant poetry posted in the bathrooms by the staff themselves. The gem of the restaurant: Needs some polish. Yes, the burger was the best part of the whole experience, yes, it was edible, but maybe, just maybe, it would've been a little better had they put a little more effort into it. Or maybe pulled it off in less than an hour. But I still think it needs a bit of a touch up. Or more. What's for lunch? Woody's. read more

The Bucksnort is an experience. If you manage to find it, you'll be amazed (as I am everytime I go there) that it hasn't fallen into the creek. Rough is a bit of an understatement. It's made of logs, the floors tilt, people carve initials in the tables, the burgers are fat and juicy, and the beer is cold. No hipsters in sight, the crowd usually consists of locals and weary looking mtb'rs, climbers, and hikers. It's not unusual to find large dogs wandering in what passes for a parking lot. (Low clearance vehicles may have a bad time) read more

Great dive bar! If you're headed there on your motorcycle the ride is beautiful and totally worth it! my husband and I went up there with some of our riding buddies and we ordered several pitchers of beer and nachos. the service was great the waitress was really nice and pretty. the outdoor patio is awesome its right next to the river and that adds to the experience of being at a mountain bar. and I'd have to say that the experience was pretty unique since there was a guy out on the patio just strumming away at his guitar asking people if they had any requests and he didn't even work there he was just there having fun. being a bar I do think they should have had a jukebox or some kind of music playing inside the bar. overall it was a great experience definitely will go back if we're riding out that way again read more

Is there a better mountain bar? No. Cheap drinks, great atmosphere, good food.

Worst customer service ever! Arrived @ 5:45 & ordered beer. Later told I was charged full price even though happy hour runs until 6 pm. Their response "that's bar time". Ordered simple food a salad & grilled cheese which took 45 min. Found out reason was the cook was sitting @ the bar drinking alcohol & eating OMG!!! Run away!!! read more

Its a true experience to have been at the Bucksnort and even more an experience of being a traveling salesman at conferences of people from afar who have visited this gem. If your looking for a good time this is your place for rustic fair and a place to say you've been because its long history has its list of celebrities yet you'll be surprised at how many people have been here although they have only visited Denver once or twice. read more

My family bought a small cabin behind the Buck Snort in the early 70s. I grew up at this bar. I learned how to play pool and how to drink beer at the Snort. My family has signatures on the ceiling in the far corner above the window. Most of them are gone now. My Uncle was one of the Seals that painted the eagle on the deck. We loved this bar and the people.....back then. I went up last year to check the place out and show a friend where I grew up. WOW, what a difference. The food was awful. (I have had many Buck Burgers back in the day). The service was well NOT. The bathroom was disgusting. I am heartbroken that someone let it get this bad. At least I have many many good memories with my family and friends. I am praying that someone buys the bar and does it justice. Restore it. If I had the money I would seriously think about it. This place is part of the history up there. Make it great again. Until then I would say stay away. So sad read more

Amazing place to have a good time, the drive up here alone is worth the trip! Live bands are amazing and the food is great!

Cool atmosphere, crazy location, great live music.

Love this place! Been going for years and watched it change, slowly.. but it went from business cards/bras to dollar bills. It is a great dive bar, with Fun atmosphere. Good it's ok, just bar food. read more

Do not go for the food; burgers were over cooked with no seasoning, salad was small for the price, and service was slow at best. It you brag about having the best burgers around, then you really should be the best! The atmosphere was cool, but that place sure does need some updates. The women's bathroom was pretty scary. It's an experience, would I venture there again? Probably not. read more

Just went to the Bucksnort a couple of weeks ago. I went a couple of years ago too. I could not wait to take my hubby. The food was really good, I had a nice big burger ( I ate all of which is very unusual) and my hubby had a bowl of chili with a baked potato. We had a great beer and the music was fun. Only thing I wish is that they served french fries but definitely not a deal breaker. Definitely a fan! read more

The buckburger and antler ale were delicious, usually try to stop when I'm down that way, which sadly isn't very often...

This place is one of a kind. If you like going back in time stop by here and have a burger and beer. The wood floors are uneven and the fire is burning in the corner - what a unique atmosphere. Love it! read more

Getting here is the fun. I Stopped post ride at Buffalo creek. The atmosphere is great and the staff was inviting. Unfortunately the kegs were warm and the burger was so so. read more

The best dive bar I've ever been to hands down! Seriously, thank you for keeping Antler Ale on tap. If you are in Pine, don't miss the historic Buck Snort. Right when you walk in, you know it's a unique experience. Highly recommend if you are up for it. It's not a typical place to eat. But I love their burgers. And did I mention Antler Ale?! Also live music. read more

Couple beers, great ride up and some nachos. Don't expect much and there is no disappointment. It's a mountain bar that is always full, have fun! read more

Not sure how many stars to give the Buck Snort Saloon, so I'll give it 3. I've been here several times previously and had a fun experience. And I always go more for the experience than the food. TODAY WHEN WE GOT THERE WE SAW A FOR SALE SIGN AND IT WAS CLOSED! Their website says nothing about being for sale OR being closed. read more

We will never go back after we asked for our burgers to be well done and were told they only cook them medium rare! We are locals and a few months ago my wife got sick from eating a raw burger here. Tracy the waitress was extremely rude when I pointed out the fact the menu states it's unsafe to eat raw meat!!! She said I know what it says and rudely told me to go somewhere else if I did no like it! We did and will report it to the Health Department that they force you to eat raw meat! Insane and a lawsuit waiting to happen! read more

Sad to write this. I've been a buck snort customer for 20 yrs off and on. The food is terrible now and very overpriced. Service is pretty much non existent. The place is for sale. Hopefully a new owner can turn it around. read more

Coasting on atmosphere alone; the food is genuinely awful. As in unmelted cheese on boiled meat burger awful. It's a fun side trip if you stick to beer, but otherwise, you've been warned. read more

I've been here twice. The first time was great: Good burgers and decent service. Exactly what we wanted: a pile of grease, topped with other fatty foods at a dive in backwoods, S. Platte, Colorado. The next time, we arrived at 7:00PM on Sunday and were lately alerted that the kitchen would close. We were forced to order from the sandwich menu. The sandwiches were extremely overpriced (though decent, but I would have expected to pay $5-6 for a sandwich of its caliber), delivered slowly (30+ minutes?), and also not even the sandwiches we ordered. It wouldn't have been a big deal if the inadequacies had been addressed by a free round of drinks, etc. It seemed like the Bucksnort took advantage of us because they probably knew we would not be back through anytime soon. After paying nearly $15 for a ham sandwich I could have made easily with fixings from the corner store, I will not be going back. read more

We had one of the worst lunches we can remember. The stove happened to be out of order, so we had to order off of the sandwich menu. Big mistake. The bread was totally dried out, fell apart in my hands as I tried to squeeze on some mayonnaise from the little packets (hate those things). The sandwich consisted of one thin piece of ham, one thin piece of turkey, two pieces of cheese, and maybe a small piece of lettuce and tomato. It was horrible; would have done better to make a sandwich at home. We also had some of the worst chips, salsa, and guac that we've ever had. About 1/3 of the chips were burnt (how do you burn chips?), and they tasted burnt. We asked if the salsa was handmade, they said yes, of course it was like Pace Picante out of a jar. We love salsa but after one or two bites that was all we could stand. And the guac was like some kind of guac spread out of a tub. We spent $33 without getting any drinks, and for the next 3 days whenever we ate somewhere else we would comment to each other how much better where we were now compared to "Bucksnot". The only thing that was good was the old building and the river nearby, but we're not brave enough to go back for any reason. read more

Our burger order never came out after waiting almost an hour. No updates from the staff. Cool atmosphere though

If it were possible to give 5 stars for the nostalgia I would. We took the very long and windy and potentially dangerous trek to The Buck Snort for a tribute to a dear family member who passed away and had previously put his business card on the wall. Website gave open hours for a Friday and got all the way there to find it closed and barely a sign indicating why. Checked in and took a picture and headed back down the mountain to have lunch at Zoka's which was great. Not sure we'll make it back to find that card, which would be very meaningful. read more

This place is awesome! the road getting there is a bit narrow, especially when there is a semi truck (really) coming the other way. we sat on the deck overlooking the river, one of the best seats in a restaurant ever! read more

I have enjoyed buck snort for years. Used to be one of my favorite places to stop for burgers and beers. Stopped there yesterday, was charged $100 for burgers and beers. (party of five )And the burgers were raw. When we politely complained, we were told sorry and then the waitress wouldn't come back to our table. We had to go to the bar to pay. very disappointing and I doubt if I will ever go back!!! Shame shame read more

I asked when I walked in if there was a table for 5 when I walked in. The waitresses response(the one that wasn't high on meth and kept fidgeting) was I don't know maybe you should go look. read more

Yes it is for sale...yes it is only open Fri Sat Sun...maybe other days but you should call ahead just in case...no they do not have the greatest food...BUT it has great views...it is in the middle of a tiny town in the mountains of Colorado...it has a very rustic, going back in time atmosphere...old Colorado Saloon just like one of the reviewers said...no TVs so you have to talk to your friends...it has good cold beer...good outside area with views of the river and mountains...I think I will be back just to see who buys it...look at the pictures because it does give you a good idea of what it is like inside...very cool if you take it for what it is....a unique place... read more

Yuk, this place has turned into the worst place ever. Lousy food that took forever to get then came out luke warm. Prices are too high for what you get. Had a Taco Salad that was the worse I have ever gotten. There were six of us and we will never go back there again. I suggest thinking about going someplace else if you are in the area. read more

The Buck Snort Saloon is not for the faint hearted. It's a typical old Colorado Saloon,.If you were Colorado raised, you'll most likely appreciate it. If you are a East Coast, West Coast transplant you will probably find something to complain about! read more

We have not been here for food or drink in several years. We will not consider returning either after yesterday's experience. We ordered the 1/2lb Buck Burger which we planned to share. When it arrived it was brought by the cook who looked like he had been doing a transmission oil change. We could not identify the mass between the bun but it looked like something to acclimate us to consuming dog food. We have been to many mountain towns and enjoyed some of the best burgers, but the Bucksnort no longer holds that attraction. After returning home we both had a case of intestinal discomfort reminding us that we should have had only a bottled beer and enjoyed the drive. read more

We drove 2 hours just to go to the Buck Snort Saloon, had heard rave reviews about the burgers. We love to eat at "hole in the wall" type places. Unfortunately after two hours of sitting on their side patio with my two small children, baking in the sun, and dodging bees, we never even got to try the food. The staff was so unorganized our ticket was lost in the shuffle, we were told the food takes awhile so we didn't want to bug them, so we waited, and waited, and waited. It was also quite busy, and we wanted to give them the the benefit of the doubt that they were swamped. We were given our drinks when we ordered, but you can't suck on a can of pop for 2 hrs. We had 6 in our party, with two separate tickets. They brought the food out to half of our party, the other half never ate. The half of our party that did end up eating said the burger was not worth the wait. We finally asked about our food and they had no clue as to what we ordered, where the ticket went, or anything. We walked out completely starving and with two very grumpy children. We had settled with a bar maid that we shouldn't have to pay for the drinks. She half-heartedly agreed. The half of the party that did get food, paid their ticket, although, they figured out later that the ticket they paid for wasn't even theirs, because they never got to see it till the transaction was over. So in the end they paid for someone else's food and drinks. I understand that it's a dive bar, but even dive bars should follow rules of cleanliness, it was in no sense of the word "clean". The bathroom was out of toilet paper, out of soap, and paper towels. The floor was soaked. The table outside where were sitting was splintery and the bench almost collapsed on my 6 yr old. The parking situation is horrible. I was walking back from the bathroom and was almost run over by a biker, whom couldn't wait the second it would take for me to walk past. I took it as he purposely charged me with his bike, probably after drinking in excess. We also witnessed an elderly man walking with a walker almost get hit by a car whom REALLY wanted a parking spot in the front of the bar. Another car actually hit the side patio where we were sitting when trying to whip into the parking lot. It was the most ridiculous situation I have ever encountered. I will never waste my time with this place again. I am furious at the treatment we received. I can't even say a word about the food, as none passed my lips. I would recommend this place to no one. read more
