Buckhorn Saloon & Opera House

I love e everything about the Buckhorn! My Uncle David Perez once owned it. You need to open up again!

Today driving back from Ruidoso, NM we had to stop at the Buckhorn Saloon and try the food. Our daughter and son-in-law raved about how good it was. My wife and I weren't disappointed. We split the patty melt and onion rings. We were curious about the history of the Buckhorn and the owner came over and spent some time answering our questions. The staff were very pleasant. We will be going back. I want to try the Green Chile cheeseburger.

This place is a historical gem and worthwhile going to for ambiance, good food and service whether you are a traveler or a local. Some of the steaks are a bit overpriced but if you want a good steak for a reasonable price get the steak sandwich. I've had their expensive steaks as well and the steak sandwich steak was actually better and reasonable for what you got. Also take a tour of the old opera house if you go. It's something to see for sure.

Green Chile ribeye is the bomb. Enough said.

Worth a visit. Historic with tasty food, friendly staff, and a great atmosphere. Everyone enjoyed their food, the shop of the day was especially tasty. Steaks were cooked to order, and fish was not over cooked. Good tap list for being out there. Plenty of parking. Sitting near the main door can be a little drafty on a cool evening.
