If drinking, try the Buffalo Bill Cocktail. Smooth as butter.

No trip to Denver for SIA would be complete without a visit to the oldest restaurant in Colorado. The Buffalo is where it's at. #SIA11

The Buffalo Tenderloin is ridiculous. It's a must get.

Unique Atmosphere I agree with the others, this place is a fun place to take out of town guests. The food was good, but not as good as other places that specialize in wild game.

Unique Atmosphere I agree with the others, this place is a fun place to take out of town guests. The food was good, but not as good as other places that specialize in wild game. I tried the Beef Tip Sampler appetizer, the bread they served was good. The elk was my husbands favorite and I didn't like the Quail as well. The sauce that comes with it wasn't enough to even dip the meat it was too watery. We do want to go back and try other things, but we'll wait for quests as the atmosphere is worth seeing.

Food was good, had the buffalo and elk combination. Elk was very chewy though. And crazy expensive...
