Buckhorn Exchange

"At $49, this immense porterhouse is the most expensive single-person steak on the menu. Less expensive cuts include a tenderloin at $29 and a one-pound strip at $38. At lunch a mere half-pound hamburger is under $10."
Michael Stern






"The buffalo sausage appetizer is lean with a pleasantly chewy texture. The side of chile polenta tastes just like liquid tamales."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle



"A classic Buckhorn specialty."
Dale Fine



"Juicy, with a commanding flavor, the buffalo prime rib is served with homemade Saratoga chips."
Dale Fine



"Rocky Mountain oysters are the fun-menu euphemism for sliced bull's testicles. These are pretty chewy and encased in a crumbly crust. One order is enough hors d'oeuvre for a couple of people ... or a hundred squeamish ones!"
Michael Stern



"Comedian Steve Martin used to do a routine in which he walked into a restaurant and asked 'What animals do you have steaks of?' While not everything on the wall is available on a plate, you can order elk, bison, alligator, rattlesnake, kamb, quail, and Cornish game hens."
Michael Stern



"The collection of animal heads (and not just heads!) is awesome."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle



"The walls of the Buckhorn Exchange are packed with souvenirs and memorabilia. We happened to sit under President John F. Kennedy's fishing license, which lists his address as "The White House.""
Michael Stern



"The sign painted on the parking lot side of the Buckhorn Exchange is fading, but you can still clearly make out the buck."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle



"This hugely colorful restaurant is on a lonesome street just a few minutes from downtown Denver."
