We ordered the rattlesnake queso app for the kid and that was $22. I didn't think any of the meal was good except for the quail and the cocktail sauce that the alligator tail came with. The elk just tasted like grill marks, the wild rice that came with mine was way too salty (and that's saying a lot coming from me), the caesar side salad was just lettuce and dressing. Limp lettuce and probably some mass produced dressing that was...off. It was fun to go and eat different stuff, but the taste to price ratio was appalling. It's the oldest restaurant in Denver and has a lot of cool animals on the wall. They advertise that many of their mounts are over 80 years old. What that translates to though is that a lot of them are pretty poorly done. They do have stuff you're not used to seeing mounted though, like all kinds of birds (including some ducklings), some monkeys, small animals like weasels, a whale penis, and some full cats and bears. I couldn't recommend anyone going there and would never take someone from out of town to eat there.

A side note, my wife loved the Elk and Ostrich especially and thought it was all at least fun and interesting. Kid had a lot of fun and asked a lot of ridiculous questions. There was a guy upstairs at the bar singing folk songs live. Fun atmosphere. I'm not a "foodie" of any kind, nor a food snob, but I'd take a $21 steak from Columbine Steak House any day over what we had.

But did they have the elusive Jackalope mounted?

Yeah, shoulder mounts, just heads, full mounts, you name it.

Elk and two quail

Ostrich and fried alligator tail. Ostrich is a red meat, much like steak, if you've never had one.

Thanks Stuving, that's good info. How was the rattle snake prepared? I have been trying to convince my wife that Ostrich is red meat and she thought I was nuts. The pictures still make me hungry as long as I don't think about the prices.

As an aside my brother has a bull penis, back in the day they would dry them out and make walking canes out of them, just to give you a visual.

I've wanted to go to the Buckhorn Exchange for a while now. Just doesn't make much sense for me because my wife isn't a very adventurous eater. If she would let me have a mistress then maybe I would have a dinner companion.

That's pretty weird...right?
