Suited to its wild and woolly interior, Denver's oldest restaurant The Buckhorn Exchange specializes in large-portion steaks, intended for two to five guests.
From the restaurant's website:
"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, rattlesnake and buffalo sausage are available, and no dinner is complete without the house specialty, Rocky Mountain Oysters."
Kids' menu. Full bar. Serving lunch Mon–Fri, dinner nightly.
"The Buckhorn Exchange is a sure-enough tourist attraction. Holder of Colorado liquor license #1 and the oldest restaurant in Denver, it is outfitted with antique firearms and furniture (including tables with little nooks underneath to park your belly gun), and hung with a dazzling menagerie of some five hundred game animal trophies shot by former owner Shorty Zietz and his family."
