Smoked flavor scent draws you in but the taste will bring you back! Home cooking and friendly staff. Right next to town with plenty of parking options

Husband ordered elk burger. Was a little bland but he knew going in that elk was much leaner than beef. I wanted a ham /turkey combo sandwich. You would have thought I'd ask our waitress to quickly do a random calculus problem. She just didn't get it. She said, "So you want Both?" She kept trying to tackle this very... More

This nice family flavored restaurant had a very good breakfast burrito. I chose to add the chorizo sausage and it was not the least bit greasy. My wife had bacon in her breakfast burrito and it was just as good. We will definitely eat here on another visit!

This is by-far my favorite breakfast place in Estes Park, CO. The food is always amazing, the staff is always friendly, and I'm addicted to their eggs benedict and/or biscuits & gravy. I highly recommend you stop by and try out this great family owned restaurant.

If you love eclectic diners this is your place. If you ask the locals where they go this name keeps popping up. Nothing fancy but the eggs are fluffy the coffee is great and the toast is perfect. Love the big cups. Been coming here over 5 years and have not been dissapointed. People complain it's pricey but for Estes... More

We come up to Estes Park almost every year for our anniversary. We started coming to the Big Horn about 3 years ago and it was just what we were looking for in a breakfast/lunch place. The food is great and it is served quickly. The staff is friendly, efficient, and attentive. There is nothing fancy here; this is good... More

We stopped in for breakfast. The service was kinda slow considering we were the only ones there, but we weren't in a hurry so it didn't bother us too much. The food was okay with the exception of the BURNT toast. Could have lived without that.

We were in Estes Park for the weekend and had breakfast here both days. Great friendly service. The grits were the best I ever had. Great pancakes, cheese spinach omelette, coffee.
