About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
Welcome to a taste of history!

Denver’s original steakhouse, The Buckhorn Exchange is located in the city’s oldest neighborhood, just 5-minutes from downtown Denver -- with a light-rail stop right across the street. This National Historic Landmark and Western Museum has been serving the finest in Old West fare since 1893.

Prime grade beef steaks, buffalo prime rib, elk, salmon, quail, game hen, and succulent baby-back pork ribs are just some of the marvelous offerings on the Buckhorn menu. Exotic appetizers such as alligator tail and buffalo sausage are available, and no dinner is complete without the house specialty, Rocky Mountain Oysters.

For lunch we serve up a lighter fare including our renowned Grandma Fanny’s pot roast sandwich, enormous beef and buffalo burgers and more!

    The upper level has the bar, windows and is more bright than the lower floor which is a bit dim, but has more things to see from animals and hunting tools. You can't go wrong with the food I guess but it all depends on what you like. My favorites were the rocky mountain oysters, the buffalo prime ribs, and the quail. I didn't like the lamb chops that much. The fried alligator was okay. Keep in mind that the rattlesnake is only available from the end of summer until the beginning of winter not to get too excited about it, then be disappointed when you realize that they don't have it.

    Hey Abdelmessih, Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed our unique collection of hunting tools and Rocky Mountain oysters. We're sorry to hear that our lamb chops and quail didn't meet your expectations. We appreciate your honest feedback and will take it into consideration as we continually strive to enhance our menu. We hope to welcome you back to Buckhorn Exchange soon. Best, The Management Team

    Always enjoy coming here. Really wish they would allow @HistoryAteHere through the doors to film. Their dishes are consistently well prepared, the staff is always friendly, and I can’t get enough of reading everything on the wall. I try their special each time and their desserts are extraordinary.

    Exceeded expectations!! Quality service, food and treatment by the staff. Rice was requested for one meal, but he enjoyed the substitution without a mention until near the end of the meal. His reply is we have to return to try the rice!!

    The food was horrible and a waist of money. If you are looking for good bbq go to texas road house. You will spend 100$ less for better food.
