The Buffalo Restaurant & Bar, now known as Westbound & Down, offers a friendly and family-friendly atmosphere with a bubbly server. The green chilli fries continue to be a unique and popular choice, and a fruit alternative is available for children. While the Buffalo Burger is no longer on the menu, the bison burger has received high praise along with the Buffalo wings. Guests have noted improvements in service and food quality, with quick service for takeout orders and friendly staff. Some visitors feel the food has become just okay and a bit pricey, but many still recommend the place, especially for its charming waitresses and welcoming vibe. The relaxed atmosphere is perfect after a day of hiking, making it a great spot to enjoy a burger and beer. While the seating process can be lengthy, it is worth it for a visit to Idaho Springs. Additionally, parking is free after 6 PM.
