⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Big Horn Restaurant is an absolute gem for a solid breakfast or lunch in Estes Park. We ordered the #1 combo with two eggs, bacon, and a pancake, plus a couple of burgers—and everything hit the spot. It truly felt like a good old country breakfast. The pancakes were super fluffy, the eggs were cooked perfectly, and the bacon was done just right. You can tell they know what they’re doing in the kitchen. The burgers were also really good and satisfying. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and on top of things, which made the experience even better. The restaurant itself has that cozy, older-school charm that just feels right—comfortable, unpretentious, and inviting. Overall, a great spot with quality food, great service, and a classic feel. We’d happily come back anytime.

VERY VERY good food here! Service was excellent, makes you feel at home. Portions are pretty big so come hungry! We got the chicken fried chicken eggs an hashbrowns with a pancake on the side, plus "Mike's heart attack" biscuits and gravy hashbrowns eggs and ham. All of it was delicious! We will always come to this spot for breakfast during our stay. 🖤

We had breakfast here for the first time in years. Food was good, not great. Very good service. Bottom of my wife's pancake was pretty crispy. They appeared to use canned apple pie filling for the pancakes.

Wow! What an experience, amazing and it blew away any expectations. The food was excellent, and so much! I loved the coffee and had the Big Mike's Heart Attack, and she had the Blue Berry-Peacan Waffle with some eggs. Our server Sasha was outstanding, we highly recommend this restaurant

I’ve been visiting the Big Horn Restaurant for years, and it’s always such a positive experience because it's guaranteed to be delicious food and great service every time. Plus, this was my father's favorite breakfast stop when he visited, therefore it's always nostalgic being back, and it reminds me of him. This morning our waitress, Julie, was phenomenal! It had been about a year since my last visit, and I’d forgotten how generous the portions are for the price. My husband and I both ordered the No. 3 - biscuits and gravy with grits and sausage...and wow… SO much food, and every bite was delicious. (Highly recommend adding cheese to your grits!) The Big Horn is always my "go to" breakfast spot when I'm in town.
