America is full of beloved restaurants that have been serving their communities for decades, and in some cases nearly as long as America has been a country. To take it even further, Colorado has a rich history, both culturally and in terms of its culinary scene, so it's no surprise that there are plenty of historic establishments that have stood the test of time.
According to a list of the "oldest" restaurants around the country compiled by LoveFood, the "most historic restaurant" in all of Colorado is Buckhorn Exchange in Denver, which has been around for more than a century. Buckhorn Exchange is located at 1000 Osage Street.
Here's what LoveFood had to say about this iconic Colorado institution:
"It's no surprise that one of Colorado's most historic restaurants embraces the great outdoors. Buckhorn Exchange bills itself as Denver's original steakhouse and oldest restaurant, having opened in 1893. The unique décor features more than 500 pieces of taxidermy, made from animals hunted by the family that originally founded the restaurant. The food matches the mood, with a menu filled with meats like buffalo, elk, quail, and beef steaks galore."
