“It is obvious that Chef Jessica has a passion for cooking, especially soups ! She has a talent for marrying flavors and spices, making amazing one of kind soups. Reasonably priced delicious food , and a friendly welcoming staff makes this place Central city and Blackhawk's best kept secret.“

“Burger is good...
I wish they had good gravy for chicken fried meats and biscuits, but it's not... it's weird.
Servers definitely hate their jobs. You can distinguish the new peppy employees from the old grumpy ones. Water cups are usually dirty (I bring my own drinks now) Salad was brown, limp, and sour. Fries always come out cold (you shouldn't make these until the rest of the food is almost done). Honestly, we only go when we get free comps... we make it work...“

“What an amazing experience at Monarch Casino in Blackhawk, CO! The hotel itself is beautiful, and the rooftop pool is absolutely stunning—definitely one of the highlights of our stay. The staff went above and beyond, and I have to give a special shoutout to Simon for his exceptional service. An added bonus was the outdoor firepits and hot tub, which offered incredible views of the mountains—perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The beds were incredibly comfy, and the blackout curtains made for the best night’s sleep of our whole trip. It was so nice to be able to sleep in and enjoy a later checkout time of noon. We’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend!“

“I went there last night with some issues, I had lost a ticket I accidentally thrown away thankfully I had a picture and they were super nice and were able to help me with that. Also I had recently downloaded the app and I kept making mistakes and when I tried getting help through the app the people in the app were useless. I wish I got the name of the people who helped me yesterday because they both were super patient with me and walked me through on what I was doing wrong and I understood my mistakes! Thank you!“

“Excellent atmosphere and customer service. We had a great rafting experience and meal with drinks. Each worker was friendlier than the next. Can’t wait to go back and being friends“

“When you been on the trail, with some dust on your brim. Dismount that trusty steed or Subaru and saddle up to the Bar for a cocktail before supper or a hard night of gambling. This place looks like a Movie Set except it's real as the spurs on your feet. Let's ride!“

“Everything about our White Buffalo Grille experience was A+++. Austin was our server and he was excellent!! We ordered the prime rib and ribeye steaks. The portions were more than we ordered and they were scrumptious. We also ordered brussel sprouts, mac & cheese, and the Yukon mashed potatoes and they were all delicious. There was a miscommunication with the bottle of wine we ordered, but Austin and the MOD rectified the situation (in our favor) which proves their dedication to customer service. All in all, the food was delicious, the atmosphere was wonderful, and the service was outstanding. I would highly recommend checking out the White Buffalo Grille for your next outing.“

“I only go for the all-you-can eat crab legs and they are always delicious. I wish they’d drop some Old Bay seasoning in their boil, but other than that the quality and freshness are thumbs up. I say freshness but I guess I mean they give you a steaming hot plate of legs.
Last time I went I had a slice of blueberry cheesecake and their peanut butter cookies. Both of these were surprisingly better than your average dessert. After stuffing himself, my husband got a prime rib and it was weird. Like maybe it was a pressed meat? Idk! I’m still giving the food 5 stars because crab legs and I keep thinking about that pb cookie.
The service is always quick and friendly. They do a stand up job of keeping plates cleared off the tables and your drinks filled. Sometimes I just gotta have crab legs and for $50 all you-can-eat, this is one of the best deals in the area.“
