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!

    My two grandsons from California were visiting here. My Christmas gift was dinner at Buckhorn Exchange. It was fun and fulfilling. They are world travelers and had never been to the Buckhorn Exchange or eaten buffalo. I wanted something special for them and this filled the bill.

    We had an amazing experience here! We were celebrating our recent engagement with our friends, and then our server, Priyanka, made our night so special! Her service was 10/10 and her recommendations were spot on. The food was really good and the portions definitely matched the value.

    The duck breast appetizer is delicious. The New York strip was cooked to perfection and so tasty! The soup, salad and rolls were a nice addition!

    The Ribeye and Tenderloin steaks were low quality cuts of meet. Both were so gristly it was very difficult to cut through with a steak knife. The bison prime rib was good. Cool place for some history, and service was very good.

    our waiter was exceptional. Personally, I had the salmon and it was way too salty and overcooked.. my fault I should have sent it back.
