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.

One of many highlights of The Fort restaurant is that it is a replica of my four times great-grandfather's Bents Fort

The service was hands down the best I’ve ever experienced. Kevin was our waiter and he was simply outstanding. The rest of the staff rocked as well. I do think the food is a bit overpriced. I paid $42 for a piece of walleye. It was good but not astonishing- which I expected for the price. 

Business response:

Dear Angela, Thank you for taking the time to leave a recommendation, and for the kind endorsement. I’m pleased to hear you enjoyed your meal, as well as our accommodating staff. I will pass on your kind words to Kevin and the rest of the team. I hope to welcome you back soon for another memorable meal! Holly Arnold Kinney, Proprietress
