Restaurants near Fort Rice Historical Site

We had a fantastic meal. The tenderloin was done just right (ordered medium), juicy and flavorful, and not smothered in pepper like many places do. We also had the special of the evening, which was turkey dinner, and the turkey was moist and a real turkey not just a turkey breast. The meal included an appetizer of bread served with an olive oil and balsamic vinegar with herbs. The olive oil was mixed with a little touch of coconut oil and the flavor was delicious. Overall, a five star meal and we will definitely come back again. It is worth the drive.

As always, the Butterhorn is a great place to enjoy friends, food, and drink. Great selections and wonderful staff.

We love the spot for date night as we have historically had a great experience. However, this time it was sub-par. I think this was solely a service issue. Not sure if our server was new or just spacey. We ordered calamari, cacio e pepe, spicy shrimp, and one other pasta dish that I can recall the name. Fridays are seafood night and knowing this, we had to ask our server for a specials menu. So unfortunate for those who would miss out just from not knowing to ask! We ordered all small portions to share. The calamari was cold and and the breading fell off I think because it had been sitting, the shrimp and cacio e pepe were room temperature. But the other pasta dish (sausage with red sauce and peppers) was hot, luckily! I know how food all of these dishes ate normally so it was a bit disappointing! Mind you the place was not overly busy. We sat for 20 minutes following eating and then had to still ask our server for the bill. I think this was purely a service issue as I know the food can be great. I hope there is room for improvement or it would be hard to continue to go back to pay for a barely warm dinner.

Absolutely the best place to go and eat and visit. Comfortable and welcoming.
