“ Talk about AMAZING when it comes to Mama Deb and the crew. We enjoyed trying multiple beers and are thrilled to come back again. First timers and we’re sold on this historic building and the history it has to offer. Definite try the Sandlot, and Living The Dream beers. The 3 Amigos chip platter is excellent. ”
“ A great piece of history and a great restaurant. Very unique to sit in. We sat in a dog friendly patio and had our lunch. The atmosphere of the place is cool. The food was good too and the service. ”
“ Buffalo Rose is absolutely fantastic! The food was amazing with so many great choices—it’s the kind of place where you want to try everything on the menu.

Whether you’re going for a casual night out or a special gathering, Buffalo Rose delivers an experience that’s both memorable and delicious. Highly recommend! ”
“ Many-A-Show has been seen here. I love the reserved seating upgrade options, but G.A. is great too. Fair priced drinks for a venue, which I appreciate too. Some food options, but limited (for a show). I'll be back! ”
“ We were visiting Colorado from Phoenix, AZ. We took a drive through Golden and saw the Buffalo outside Buffalo Rose. We pulled over and checked the menu online. They had a very diversified menu that included elk and bison. We tried the bison meatloaf and carne asada both. Both dishes were great, and the bison was amazing. The green chile served with the carne asada was amazing as well. We wanted to try a dessert, but had to pass after not being able to finish our food. The serving sizes were large, and we noticed several beers on tap. Scott served us and was very friendly and reassured the bison meatloaf was a good choice. Food and service were all amazing! We will be back again, and spread the word about your location! ”
