Great food and service! I would have given this place 5 stars if I hadn't used the bathroom. Wow! You walk from the dining room of a steak house, into a bathroom that looks like a truck stop gas station bathroom off I-80 in Go-F-Yourself Iowa!
Pros: Great food, great service
Cons: Bathrooms! (Seriously, get this fixed!!)
I was impressed by the food and friendly wait staff. The drinks were good too.
Kids love the tree in the middle of the dining room covered in lights. Its definitely got that old school feel to it. Carpeted floors and old wooden tables and chairs.
This place has what they call a "Verbal Menu" which means the server tells you the entire menu for that night. She doesn't list off prices, so you'll have to wing it if you're worried about it. The prices are definitely 'Steak House' prices, but its probably the best steak around! I love the mom ñ pop feel. I would recommend this place to anybody who's looking for a good steak somewhere other than some chain restaurant.
(But seriously, don't use the bathroom)
I'm joking. But serious!
I would give this place more stars if the service wasn't so slow! Â We came here on a Tuesday evening and got seated right away. Â Waitress ordered our drinks, but it didn't come until 20 mins later. Â Took another 20 min to get our complimentary bread and veggies and another 10 min for them to take our orders. Â Server asked if we wanted refills on our drinks 3 times before they actually got refilled. Â This place is reasonably priced for a steak dinner that comes with spaghetti, soup or salad, plus choice of potato or fries. Â Our food took forever to come out. Â The Medium steaks were more like medium rare, and the medium rare was more like rare. Â Co-worker sent back his rare steak to get cooked longer and it came back without the fries he ordered! Â Took another 20 min wait to get the check. Â Not sure if this is normal for the service to be this slow. Â The food was decent but we were starving!! Â This place was hard to find also, since the sign on the road doesn't reflect where the restaurant is. Â You have to drive a little further down the road to this small house-like structure. Â Parking was tight since this place was packed, so I parked my rental on the side of the road like some other cars.
Review Source:This restaurant has been in the same location for 53 years! I first visited 10 years ago and I was astounded by the cost then. We went a couple years after that, and then we thought tonight...eh, we hadn't been to Emil-Lene's in about 8 years, let's check it out again.
I don't think they've ever updated anything. It is an old farmhouse made in to a restaurant. I also think it needs to be stripped and seriously cleaned. It needs to be updated as well.
Paying $90 for two (that's with tip included)...I expect a really nice , classy, CLEAN and up to date restaurant with nice, updated and clean restrooms. (I was disgusted that I went in to use the restroom and someone didn't flush their big turd!) Ugh. Aside from a turd in the toilet, it was just cold and run down.
The restaurant has cheap art throughout. And just stockshow stuff. I don't think they've changed the decor since the 70's. I think they just keep opening every day and that's it. They don't do anything else.
I really LOVE the relish dish they bring out! Celery, carrots, green onions, olives, peppers....all heaped high on ice! The homemade dressings are wonderful. Tonight we had the special. And 8 ounce sirloin with king crab. The crab was nothing less than succulent! The steak was just ok. Mine was actually undercooked. It was ok, because I didn't eat it anyway. I was full on my crab, so I brought the steak home. Being undercooked...it will be perfect when I re-heat it with steak and eggs!
The waitress we had tonight was spectacular! Spot on!! But that doesn't make it worth what they charge.
I give it two stars for the following reasons:
The restaurant is run down and the decor is cheap and outdated. It's not as clean as I would expect and I was very cold during dinner. While some of the food is really very good, and portions are ample. It's nothing special. It's very typical. (Except for the relish dish...which isn't served anywhere EXCEPT Emil-Lene's.) The prices are just beyond ridiculous. I had forgotten how exorbitantly priced they are.
I think it they readjusted their prices (lowered them...A LOT), they would have a chance. But, as it is I don't expect Emil-Lene's to hang in there for much longer. They can't. I think they have priced themselves out of business.
They will have to make some serious efforts to turn it around and I just don't think they see that. Either that, or they just don't care!
"Meh" was precisely my reaction after eating at Emil-Lene's for the first time. My boss has taken me here for lunch a couple of times, as we work not so far away and she is a big fan of diners and Colorado country culture (she LOVES the stock show).
I am originally from a very small southern town, where this restaurant would fit in perfectly. The walls are covered with kitschy western decour that, I would wager, has not been updated since the mid-70s (80s at the latest). The waitstaff was friendly, the patrons elderly. For a minute I thought I had been transported back home, and expected the drink choices to be only water, sweet tea or RC cola.
I mirrored my boss's order of a burger and fries. Both were subpar- the hamburger patty was seriously overcooked and had no taste. Nothing memorable about that meal for sure.
The one positive is that the Morrison Nature Center, Star K Ranch and Sand Creek Regional Greenway practically share a parking lot with this place. I could see myself possibly stopping through again if I were hungry and on the trail.
Ouch! This review is going to hurt. I'm with other Yelpers about being a Denver institution, 50+ years in the same impossible to find location, and "having dinner in your Aunt & Uncle's house on the ranch" atmosphere. We've been eating there at least once a year for many years always coming back for great steaks. Sadly last Friday night will be our last.
We saw a limited time Groupon deal for $15 prime rib dinner. We've used Groupons before and know how the game is played. Tell them up front you are using one and no one gets hurt. In the dinning room - I could overhear 3 of the 6 tables were using the Groupon deal. (Note to owners of restaurants participating in Groupon deals: Groupon will bring in more people so you will need more staff.) Our server was rattled, forgetful and stretched way too thin.
An entirely different person than our server appeared with the full bill. I point out that we told our server when we sat down we were there with a Groupon. Overhearing this our server runs over and begs forgiveness from this bill presenter who looks like she is no one to tangle with.
They both leave and a new bill is brought out again by the bill presenter. She briefs us on proper tipping on the full bill like we're some kind of foreign tourists and disappears again. The meals were good. Only one of of our party of three had the prime rib special. And even with a discount the total was way more expensive than we've ever spent before. Seriously way more.
For a place that has not put one dime into the decor, or fixtures from this milenium - its impossible to justify Del Frisco prices.
Really enjoyed my meal at this hard to find and off the beaten path restaurant.  The atmosphere is unusual, refreshing and genuine.  Prices were good and the quality of food excellent.  If you are a del Fresco type steak fan, this may not be the place for you.  The quality of the food was very good to excellent, depending on what  you ordered.  My filet was excellent and my wife's sirloin was good, both well prepared per request.  Side were excellent and included which made the meal a relative bargain.  Wien by the glass was good and well priced.  Service was good, prompt and fun.  Patrons will note when approaching the door that a sticker for Diners Club and Carte Blanche is posted on the glass window: Now that is a throwback to a bygone era.
Review Source:This place is quirky to say the least. Â It reminds me of the "dinner clubs" of years past.
Someone mentioned this place is all about the beef. Â They would be correct! Â If you like beef, you will like this place.
No, it's not cheap, but it's not crazy priced either.
The atmosphere is touch odd with a tree growing through the middle of the dining room and out through the roof. Â What the...?!?!?
On that side of town, there's not a lot of options for good steak so this place will do if you want to avoid the hassle of driving down town.
Used a groupon and had a great experience! Tons of food for the money, although I must say it was pricey. Manhattan clam chowder and the housemade salad dressings were faves. My gf got the prime rib and it was delicious. I got the filet and while the inside was cooked perfectly, the outside was overly charred which is a pet peeve of mine - this happens when trying to cook a tender cut too fast at too hot of a temperature. Im from the midwest and we dont play with steaks so my standards may be a little more harsh than most. Service was A+, nice country ambiance, left very full, but a little disappointed with my filet. if I had paid full price, I would have been upset but with the groupon, it was a great deal!
Review Source:We just went last night for the first time. We have been meaning to try the place out for some time now, but never managed to go there. I must say I was a little nervous after reading some of the reviews on here. After last night's visit I have to question where the negative reviews came from, competition perhaps?
We had a small filet with the steak fries and a large sirloin with baked potato, just so we could get a taste of several things. Our steaks were cooked perfectly, with just the right amount of seasoning and no excess fat trim around the edges. The baked potato came with a generous bowl of sour cream and chives. The spaghetti side was interesting and mostly just a little gimmick that is a part of their identity, a lot like the giant pepper mill. The soup and salad were both very good, especially the home-made salad dressings.
The service was attentive but not too attentive and they made you feel like they were happy you were there. When the bill came, we were pleasantly surprised. Anybody complaining about the prices here needs to just go back to the Outback, which is apparently more in line with your personal finances. The food was very good, the quantities were generous, the service friendly and attentive and the value very good for all things considered. We will definitely be returning.
I was skeptical as soon as I walked in and it was well founded.
The decor was very dated which didn't really bother me since I came for the food.
To start, we were served a bowl of plan veggies with nothing to dip it in....kinda weird app. The bread in a bag was rock hard, the salad was just a bowl of iceberg lettuce. I do have to say the homemade dressing were nice.
Now on to the dinner portion. It's the same as previous reviews only a few meats to chose from. But, the server fails to tell you the ridiculous prices that you will be paying for just this mediocre cut.
The service was very much like being served by a flighty relative. She had all of two tables and could give proper service.
I'm a server so I know first hand what crappy and good service can be. Let me tell you it was CRAPPY!
This restaurant proves location is not all that important if you provide superior service and fabulous food !
I cannot say enough about the quality and quantity of food. Â The steak could not have been tastier or more tender.
It is an old style restaurant that will make you wish you could visit more often.
We came to Emil-Lene's armed with a $25 gift certificate obtained through <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Frestaurant.com&s=c5fe485af4df376130bee54f875814d79c4d7913e1258123b1206d2bdbf4873b" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://restaurant.com</a>. Â Let me start with saying that $25 buys you nothing. Â Our total bill for two of us was still $75. Â That is fine if you are eating at a place with truly outstanding steaks. Â Honestly, Chili's has a better steak than Emil-Lene's. Â You get a ton of food at Emil-Lene's, but none of it is very good at all. Â
That said, I would still say you should try it once, because the atmosphere is so cool! Â It's a farmhouse with a tree growing inside! Â Totally worth the insane amount of money to try it once, and then never go back again.
Though this venerable  back road steak house has only earned three stars, its a can't miss experience. Inconviently located down a true grit road, a Riders of the Purple Sage cul de sac if you will.
So here is The Good, The Bad and The Ugly:
Emil-Lene opened in 1957 and not much has changed. The aquamarine covered chairs and tables are dated and old, the location is odd and scary, it has the mood of a Coen Brothers movie. The thread bare carpeting, the John Wayne standee in the lobby, the low slung ceilings.
If you know who Randolph Scott is, you'll love this place. if not, you're too young. I was here for lunch and without exaggeration, I would say the median age was 75. In fact the host , in a Rockmount shirt, must be close to 90. Everyone knows each other. When "Rose" walked  in, you could almost hear the canes knocking the floor in celebration.  "HI ROSE!!" , "How are you Rose??"
The walls are festooned with Western art, some of which is very good, others look like they came from a fledgling art school. All of it features a western theme. Rugged cowhands, savage indiginous folks, wild eyed terror ridden cattle. Plumes of dust from the corral curling above a cottonwood.
But onto the food..Its all middle grade beef served like a 1940s diner. Mashed potatoes and canned gravy. The burgers? Hand formed patties inch past the big buns and real potato skins on the fries. Truthfully, it was pretty average, but the experience was not! And the pricing was very fair.
Hurry and go before this place, like a Clint Eastwood character, fades into the sunset!
Went here for lunch with my work buddies. It is small, kitchzy and western inside. But that is part of the fun. I did wish that it were near the Stock Show...it would be a perfect fit atmospherically speaking.
I tried the french dip. The meat was great, the bread was great, but the Au jus was kind of flavorless. I added salt to it. The fries looked hand-cut, and were a bit soggy. I like crisp fries, but someone else might love this style. I hope to go again and try something else !
This is my first Yelpers review, so here goes!
I was invited by a friend to her big 29th birthday dinner at a place in the bowels of Aurora called  Emil-Lene's Sirloin House about a week ago. Right off the bat I was a skeptic, since I thought I'd heard of most of the good steakhouses in and around Denver (I've even worked at one). My friend assured me that this was "the best steak I've ever had". I should have known better based on the fact that she eats a pretty decent amount of processed food. I tried to go with an open-mind.
After driving around in circles for quite awhile, we followed a dirt road to arrive at what appeared to be a small, old farmhouse-looking establishment. It was different, but still trying to keep an open-mind. We went inside and my immediate impression was that I was in for less of a meal and more of an experience. I was right.
I saw my friends congregated in a large room off to the right and went in to join them. On the long table set for 20+, we had baskets of bread in plastic bags, an arrangement of veggies, pickles and olives and butter chips on ice. It felt a little like being at Grandma's house when she was getting ready to have friends over for bridge. It was a bit "kitchy", a bit nostalgic.
I asked to see the wine list and was told that there were only three kinds of wine by the glass...a brand called Frontera. For those of you not familiar with this wine, it is crap. Total crap. Barely a step up from Boone's Farm. They were selling it for $8.00 a glass. I think you can get a big bottle of this for $11.00 (please don't ask me how I know this). I ordered it anyhow, wanting something to sip while I waited for other guests to arrive.
Once other guests did arrive, the menu was recited to us by our very patient server. We were offered either soup or salad, a spaghetti course and either a baked potato or fries. I ordered an 8 ounce sirloin, a salad, a baked potato and no spaghetti course.
The salad was the best part of the meal. The bleu cheese dressing was so good, I probably used way more than I should have. I skipped the spaghetti course because of a wheat allergy, but others didn't think much of it. The first steak I got was cooked well-done and I ordered it rare to mid-rare. The second steak was just so ordinary that I kind of forgot about it and ended up taking it in a box, which I then left in a friends car. It just seemed like a steak that I could get at Denver Diner with some eggs. After being told their steaks were "buttery" and would "melt in my mouth", I was rather disappointed. But then again, with all of the campy old-west surroundings and the fact that I was celebrating a birthday, I had fun anyhow.
I guess this place really deserves two stars at the most, but I gave it three because I did have a good experience at the restaurant itself and the waitstaff were great.
Looking for a "buttery" steak? This is not the place. Looking for an interesting experience in Aurora with a bunch of your friends? This is it!
This is one of those Denver icons like the Fort and the Buckhorn Exchange. Â It's cool, funky, eclectic, totally Colorado. Â You drive down a little dirt road to their little dirt parking lot (actually I think they may have done some paving) but you definitely feel like you're in the middle of cow country. Â
Walk in the door and there is a velvet painting of a steer with a bib on licking his lips and a tree growing out of the ceiling of the dining room. Â The pepper grinder the staff hauls around must be 4 feet long. Â It's a show. Â Drinks are ample and it's a great spot during the Stock Show.
No menu really - well worn waitresses will tell you what's up (but not the price unless you ask).
Your meal comes with MEAT (not veg freindly) - steak - lamb chops etc. Â Start with a crudite platter, salad, followed by meat, potato and side of spaghetti (if you want). Â Pretty simple - yes. Â Pretty expensive - yes.
It is kind of fun. Â Is it worth $35 - $40 a plate plus drinks and tip plus the gas to drive half way to Kansas? Â Not so sure.
HEADLINE: This place is all about the meat ... a veritable temple to the beloved bovine ... but come here appraised of their prices ... astronomical!
First off, if you can find this place, you deserve a freakin' Boy Scout merit badge for map reading ... even with a GPS in the Porsche Cayenne and an iPad GPS readout, we just couldn't find this little hole in the wall after spying the 1950's signage on Smith Road. Just head on down that side street (despite the address) past the farm equipment and equestrian space and it'll materialize in front of your eyes.
Building and decor is a definite throwback to the Fifties ... 'casual' doesn't come close to describing the appointments, the atmosphere and the service ... you feel like you're over someone's house for dinner.
A group of us had been tipped off about this place by the hotel staff over at the Denver Airport Marriott at Gateway and we were ready to chow down some beef.
An extremely limited wine list still produced an excellent bottle of '04 Hess Cab that was shared around the table. Excellent!
The menu simply does not exist ... it's all about the beef ... we were verbally regaled with the offerings: three sizes of sirloin, three sizes of fillet, prime rib, lamb chops ... that's it ... salad? ... baked potato or fries? ... spaghetti starter? Choose your meat!!!
Now, mind you, none of this verbal menu gave any clue as to the cost of these cuts. Â Being out on business after a very long day of travel and meetings, none of us really cared ... more on that later.
A huge bowl of veggy accouterments arrived on the table ... huge! Celery, tremendously flavorful dill pickles, radishes, stemmed olives and peppers ... very cool.
Around the table I spied only one non-beef dish ... two humongous lamb chops nicely grilled with a glass ramekin of mint jelly and fries ... these poor mutton's didn't stand a chance ... they were very good by all accounts
The rest of us settled in on the sirloin.
Mine was ordered medium rare and t'was that ... very nicely cooked. The quality of the beef itself was just OK ... a little fatty (hey, I love marbling ... but this was just a little too much of the 12 oz of protein) and the beef didn't seem to have the requisite dry aging all so necessary for all that beefy flavor to become pronounced ... it was just OK ...
Salad was less than mundane barely covering the bottom of the salad bowl, but the homemade salad dressings brought to the table absolutely rocked. The blue cheese, in particular, had so much blue-veined chunky goodness in it, it looked like and had the consistency of large curd cottage cheese .... absolutely fabulous!!!
Baked potato came out unadorned and no sour cream was presented ... minimalistic, unpretentious ... butter on the table for the bread the only available condiment.
Water glasses were filled regularly throughout this evening and the waitstaff were attentive and comfortable ... again, almost like your best friend's Mother serving us all night.
The decor ... right out of the Fifties ... HHH cow contest ribbons everywhere as were pictures of award-winning bovines posing with their rightly proud owners ... very camp.
I didn't see the bill, nor were we verbally advised of the costs of the various beefy offerings during the menu spiel, but I would have guessed  it was pretty reasonable. That was, until a fellow Yelper advised me to check out their costs ... $36 for the 12 oz. sirloin ... $40 for the pair of mutton chops.
Egregious for the quality of the beef and cut ... sorry, I, for one, won't be returning. If you're out here on your own dime, make sure to check out their menu on the website, or ask the Parton sisters how many kidney's you'll need to sell to pay for your meal.
This has been a favorite of mine for 25 years. Â I've been absent for the last 5 years since I now live in Coal Creek Canyon so its a bit of a drive. Â Â I've always saved Emil-Lene's for special occasions with friends or family, and such was the case this time. Â I was happy to find it as nice as ever. Â The wait staff is wonderful, they're dedicated, been there forever, and the sufficient staffing levels takes the "rush" out of their demeanor. Â They will spend some time with you just talking if you have any questions. Â The steaks were *wonderful* and just as we ordered. Â A previous reviewer complained about the lack of seasoning... they don't get it(!) Â A well-aged prime steak served to a discerning diner should NOT be seasoned. Â The flavor will speak for itself. Â Sheesh, hope they didn't ask for ketchup! Â If you ask, the crew will confidently tell you they are not seasoned.
 The other thing I like most about this restaurant is it's ambiance. (and acoustics!)  It's getting harder and harder to find a place to dine where you don't have to yell across the table to be heard by others in your party.  (going to Morton's? bring earplugs!)  Somewhere out there in restaurant-land must be a book on how to run a restaurant that says "turn up the music, don't carpet the floor, and make the ceiling as flat as possible".  Maybe they believe that a wincing, ear-bleeding public will buy more food.  Emil-Lene's is a breath of fresh air in this regard.  The floor is carpeted, eating areas are varied and one or two-table "nooks" are scattered about the place so noise doesn't echo relentlessly around the room.  You can dine in relative quiet almost as if you're in your own home. Â
 Back to the food... accompaniments were as good as the food.  The bread was delicious.  Their house dressing was great.  The relish tray has shrunk a little in 20 years, but I'm sure we could have had more if we asked.  There have been few changes through the years.  There was one that stood out, I was almost disappointed to find the driveway had been paved since the last time I was there.  I must have sent a dozen people there through the years telling them to "look down a little dirt road next to an old broken down sign."  Well, they've spruced up the sign too.
 I eat out perhaps 250 days a year while traveling (nearly constantly) all over the western hemisphere and Europe.  I find jewels here and there.  Emil-Lene's became one of those in 1985 when I still lived in California and encountered it while on a trip here.  It still is, and I'm glad it's only 35 miles away.

I went to Emil-Lene's on a snowy Wednesday night. I had a 1554 black ale - even though stouts/porters aren't usually my thing this was very tasty. Â I ordered the 12 oz. sirloin, but first I had some bread, veggie plate and spaghetti (!). Â I didn't care for the spaghetti; it's kinda odd steak house appetizer and the sauce was unremarkable. Â By all means ask for fresh-ground pepper, if only to check out the ginormous pepper grinder.
My steak and fries arrived. Â The steak fries were OK - no complaints. Â The steak was perfectly cooked, but totally unseasoned! Â A bit of the ol' S & P prior to cooking would have made a world of difference and would have really brought out the excellent flavor of the very tender steak. Â For the price I expect details like this to be taken care of - very disappointing. Â The steak was flavorful and perfectly cooked with a nice, caramelized outside and a tender, juicy inside. Â The ring of gristle around the outside detracted from this - I had to cut off the gristle and so lost that outside crunchy fatty part that's always so delicious. Â Maybe I was just grumpy because of the lack of seasoning but the outside was so tasty it annoyed me that I had to throw that away.
Bottom line: disappointing. Â I'll give them another try, but Ted's is right across the street from my hotel home and serves a better steak (better than I had last night, at any rate) for about 1/2 the price. Â I gotta say "two stars" because of the price - $60 including tip & 2 beers. Â
The potential for a really great steak is here, it just didn't materialize last night.
Just finished a delicious filet from Emil-Lene's. My boyfriend is a Denver native unlike myself and had heard about this place from tons of people so on a Tuesday night we decided to try it out.
Good service, unique characters and AWESOME food.
I particularly liked the homemade salad dressings, nice touch.
Just got home from my second meal here in seven years.  I can't believe I waited that long to come back.  The steaks are prime, huge and awesome. The location is really interesting, being down a long dirt road, past a couple of industrial sites, in Aurora.  But it's so very awesome  -  all the way to the tree in the center.  I love this place!  The menu is verbal, the wait staff is laid back and unassuming, and the food is spectacular.  The building itself looks like a double wide with a few additions, which just adds to the entire experience.  LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!
Review Source:I keep forgetting to review Emil-Lene's and I shouldn't because it is such a great place. Â The atmosphere here is so old-school in my view; it reminds me so much of Elks Club dinners as a kid, with lots of old cowboys sitting around chewing the fat over giant pieces of meat. Â I didn't see any cowboys in the restaurant, but there were several tying their horses on the fence along the parking lot. Â (I kid you not!) Â Upon arrival, your table gets a salad bowl full of salad munchies, just like the way my grandmother used to do at dinners. Â It's full of radishes, carrots, celery, peppers, green onions, cauliflower. Â I love this aspect as it is a healthy alternative to the usual bread on the table-never mind I guess that you are about to consume a ton of meat... Â The steaks here are superb! I highly recommend the t-bone. Â Beware that ordering one, you can seriously feed three people. Â Huge, huge portions. Â FYI, not a good place for a vegetarian. Â We had a non-meat eater with us when we went and it was not at all the place she should have been at. Â But the rest of us carnivores made her suffer. Â It is pricey, but worth it. Â Oh, and they have a full bar. Â YUM...craving it now!
Review Source:Wow, I was surprised to see that anyone knew of this place. Â The atmosphere here is very casual, more than your average Denver-casual. Â I thought the steaks were overrated, same as any other average steakhouse. Â They were cooked correctly, just no wow factor. Â Their salad dressings were a very nice touch and set them apart from other places, really reminded me of the Ore House in Durango, my old home town. Â The service is spotty, sort of like being served by Flo on Al's place. Â I really didn't like the overwhelming Southern feel to this place, a lot of people staring. Â Much of this happens when you are a person of color living in a very white town. Â I'm giving it 3 stars because I think they could stand for improvement on service and decor.
Review Source:This steak place has been here for years and it used to be the place to go and was only known by word of mouth. I eat here at lunch on the weekends as it is on the Sand Creek Trail and therefore can ride my horse to the restaurant. There is a hitching post and pen for the horses provided by the trail system. You can trailer here, too and ride the trail before or after lunch.
It is a verbal menu at lunch as well; hamburger, cheeseburger, petite fillet, Blue Plate and Cold Plate specials. I get a hamburger and a cold one and I think the meat is good. (I consider myself a meat eating vegetarian; that means once a week and I want it to be good).
If you don't know this, Karen and Jay (sister/brother) owners have bought the grand champion steer at the Western Stock Show for the past several years, paying the second highest amount ever this year. And another secret, they give the steer back to its young owner as their beef comes from a special ranch that is proprietary only to them.
The restaurant is in an old house with lots of western art and banners from the rodeo but it is part of the charm. Ruth Chris this place is not but what a great atmosphere if you want true western flavor. AND I personally like the waitresses, it might be they are horse gals themselves and we have a mutual respect. Â
And one more plug....The Sand Creek Trail and Star-K ranch are hidden gems for bikers, hikers, birders, and equestrians. Go have a meal at Emil-Lene's and then walk it off in the park. You might get to see a Bald Eagle.
