We were seated quickly, but it took awhile to be waited on. Our waitress was rude when I asked about what, The Big Nose Kate s Special drink was. She said rudely, that there were 3 specials, which one was I talking about?!? She didn't have the time to explain the differences. The mixed drink I got was very good though.Me and my husband had The Mother Load and The Hangover burgers. They were both delicious and the fries were cooked just right.There was a tiny gift shop downstairs and gorgeous stained glass all around. Also live music!#saloon#bar#Tombstone Park#restaurant

The service was slow which is to be expected in a tourist trap with a full restaurant. We spoke to our waitress a total of 2 times; when ordering and when paying nor did we get refills on our drinks. It took longer to get our food than it did to eat. The burger was very dry and overcooked. The salad was okay but the meat served with it was cold. The food didn t leave me wanting more but we had the option to take free photos with props. The photographer was trying to be personable but kept putting his foot in his mouth and came off a bit rude and at one point asked the group if we even spoke english. The best part about the restaurant was the stained glass and decorations.

Our cowboy server must have been new. We sat for 15 minutes before he came over. He also never checked on us again and we had to ask him for our check which he didn t bring and then 10 minutes later we had to ask him again for the check and he did finally get us the check. I hope eventually he gets the hang of how to serve at a busy restaurant because he was a super friendly guy. We still tipped him 20%.The food was amazing as was the atmosphere. Plus we didn t so much mind the poor service as Karaoke started and that was fun to watch.

Worth the visit just for the history of the place. We had been looking forward to listening to the music but Mick seemed to have a chip on his shoulder. He started off great with telling stories and the history but then in less than an hour he mentioned about 4 or 5 times it s a saloon and to expect loud music and then would go on about how women would complain about it being loud. He was borderline disrespectful talking about the waitresses. Then he went on about the free pictures and complained that people don t get FREE, rather than just saying what an awesome offering it was. It just really turned us off.The nachos were huge and okay. The waitress was perfect.Walking around was cool. Worth the stop.

This is a must go to restaurant if you are in Tombstone. The atmosphere when you walk in makes you feel like you have taken a step back in time.We were immediately seated and greeted by our waitress. There was a gentleman playing music on stage and all employees were dressed like it was in the 1880s. Very authentic looking restaurant.We ordered the Cowboy Cheese Steak and Kate's Breast. The cheese steak had good flavor and the chicken sandwich was mediocre, but neither stood out enough to say they were phenomenal. The margaritas were a bit on the sweet side as well.Restrooms were clean and you can shop downstairs after eating if you would like. They also have a gentleman that will dress you up and take your picture behind the bar for free.Overall, we would definitely come back here just for the atmosphere and friendly service we received. This is a one of a kind place that you don't want to miss if you are in town. You won't be disappointed.Parking: The main street of Tombstone is closed off to any vehicles so all parking is on side streets. When we went during the weekday, most side streets were completely full. There is a free parking lot about 2 blocks away that accommodates trailers so we opted to park there and walk.

Tombstone staple. Live music and saloon atmosphere. It's like a Cowboy TGiF Fridays with all the western decor, fun and quirky. Food was good, hot, and timely. Prices were reasonable for a tourist town. I had Mushroom Swiss burger with fries, large (25 oz) house draft Pilsner for $25 and the food was $13.99 of the bill. Bartender Nate was nice and couple waitresses stopped and talked with me. Since I was by myself, they sat me at the bar. Good atmosphere, will be back.

Really cool place. If you are ever near Tombstone this place is a must! Excellent food, excellent service. And the history of the place is something else.Kid-friendliness: People's kids were loving it

In the context of where it is and what it is this place has to get top marks. Is it perfect? No. But does it have the charm, quality and history to make it worth a visit? Yes! The food was good and the portions generous (cheesey chilli fries as a "side" were a meal in themselves). I had the Calzone which was perfectly cooked if a little dry (might have been the option I chose?!) but unique enough to merit praise. Oh and the warm cookie dessert was delicious even if I didn't have room for it. Also, ask about the beer glasses. I bought 2 and as I ordered a large beer I got the first one discounted ($7 vs $10).

This is an amazing dinning experience. Live music, great food and drinks, and an ability to take photos in props. After 5 pm a small dance floor is opened up.Bathrooms are small for the crowd the place attracts. However, right by the restroom is a hidden tribute to Servicemen and particularly the Buffalo Soldiers. A piece of American History that many don't really grasp just like the history of Tombstone

We went on a non-weekend early evening. During weekends, Kate's Saloon is packed with patrons and has a line, which is great. I'm just impatient when I'm hungry.We were sat quickly by a young, nice guy at the six-person table in front of the saloon. It's elevated, so we could see the whole saloon and its people. Our drink order was taken, and I was ka-raving onion rings and ordered Big Beer Battered Vidalia Onion Rings. They were hot and perfectly crunchy without the greasy taste, and the onions were sweet with just the right bite to them. For the entrees, my partner got the Trigger Finger Basket, which were three large breaded chicken tenders with fries and ranch dressing. I could hear the crispiness of each tender as he ate them, but he said the meat was actually tender and juicy. I ordered The Motherlode, which was a burger with Swiss cheese and sauteed mushrooms. The mushrooms, the way they were cooked, added a smoked, almost meat-like flavor to the entire burger that was awesome. And lastly, the fries were crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside...AKA: yummy.Most importantly, however, was our server named Star. Wow! She was super attentive and extra personable. She exuded a feeling that she was enjoying her job with a smile and just a friendly attitude. Ask for her station if you have the opportunity. She is certainly an asset to the Saloon.We will be back to try other things!

This place is a time machine with great food and live music! They fully embrace Old Western Tombstone with the 1880s decorations and costumed employees. It's so fun to enter a saloon from walking an old western street. I enjoyed reading the menu off an old newspaper, seeing the movie Tombstone play in the background, the live music, people dancing, and plenty of western cowboy hats in the crowd. We opted for the appetizer platter, elotes, and cauliflower bites. SO MUCH FOOD! Decent prices too! The elotes were absolutely fantastic, highly recommend those.

Great food and entertainment! It was very busy the day we were there but the wait was not overly long. My favorite is the brisket. My husband got the chili cheese dog and we both got fries. Their french fries are better than anyone else's, really. Mickey was the entertainment when we were there. He's a lot of fun. You cannot go wrong if you spend time at Big Nose Kate'sParking: Parking can be somewhat difficult. There are a couple of parking lots available and parking on the street.Wheelchair accessibility: I'm in a wheelchair and I found that you need to tell the person seating people that you need room. They were very accommodating.

Came to see the town for the day and stopped in for a drink. Greeted by Christian and sat at the bar. Asked for a suggestion on something local and we had a Tombstone Brewery raspberry sour in a can and a AZ one he also suggested on tap. Both great. A gentleman that also worked there gave us a bit of history on the place. We took pictures and had our drinks. Thanks for a great time!

Our Ruben and Pastrami sandwich were both very good, as well as my son's hamburger. The meat on the sandwiches that was used seemed to be of a high quality with little fat content. The beer battered onion rings were very tasty, as well. Service was excellent and lots of friendly folks work there. Definitely a great atmosphere and we were fortunate enough to sit up in the front raised table area. There was even some music from a jukebox & then an entertainer there before we left.
