About Buckhorn Saloon & Opera House

Buckhorn Saloon & Opera House offers a unique dining experience with a mix of delicious dishes like buffalo burgers, green chile chicken Alfredo, and an outstanding bowl of green chili stew that many consider the best they have ever had. The vintage old west decor and live music create a fantastic atmosphere, making visitors feel as if they have stepped back in time. Vegetarian options are available, including great salads and a portobello burger. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring dietary restrictions are accommodated, although the menu does not provide detailed allergen information. Some dishes, like the Ultimate Portobello, are well prepared and have a good texture, but lack vegan cheese or aioli options, and the bun may contain dairy. Customers enjoy the overall vibe and find the staff patient and welcoming. The restaurant is a historic spot, standing since the late 1800s silver rush, adding to its charm. Many visitors appreciate the friendly atmosphere and great food, especially the prime rib, chicken strips, and crispy green Chile loaded fries. While some feel the green chile sauce could have more flavor, the experience remains positive. The bar area fills up quickly, but there is plenty of seating in side rooms. Whether for a meal or just a cocktail at the bar, Buckhorn Saloon & Opera House offers good food, drinks, and a fun, welcoming environment that keeps customers eager to return.
