About this business
As a replica of Bent's Fort, it's a cultural crossroads on the historic Santa Fe Trail. This area institution, which has been reviewed in the New York Times, serves up southwestern fare to everyone from lounging locals to heads of state including President Clinton during 1997's economic summit. Scrumptious servings of buffalo and elk tantalize the tongue. More traditional fare like salmon, filet mignon and even a vegetarian plate is also available. Open Monday to Friday at 5:30pm and at 5:00pm on Saturdays and Sundays.

My father in law took all 11 of us to try it out. Staff were horrible. The food was awful. My nephew waited for a condiment for his meal, by the time it arrived which he had to go get himself, everyone had finished their meal.

The inner courtyard has a warm bonfire while southwestern Christmas lights outline the outdoor buildings. A life size Indian teepee is on the perimeter of the property. "The Posadas" is a traditional Hispanic Christmas celebration that is o... read more
