I have been to Thunder and Buttons a couple times over the last 3 or 4 years.
I was down in Colorado Springs yesterday for lunch.
Looking for a great place to watch the Rockies game and get some food in Old Colorado City there are a few great choices and Thunder and Buttons is one of them.
Sitting at the large wood trimmed bar you notice very quickly how many regulars there were on Sunday afternoons. I did manage to take the only open spot and was greeted promptly.
I do wish the would have had volume on the Rockies game as everyone at the bar was watching and chatting about the game.
Lunch=Schnitzel Sandwich ($8.95)
"Breaded pork loin cutlet and monterey jack cheese on a bun with a horseradish cream sauce." as directly quoted from T7B's menu.
BIG piece of hot and crispy pork loin pounded very thin.Much larger than the basic burger bun it is served on. French Bread would work much better in my opinion for this offering.
Sandwich is served with thick-cut French Fries and the Horseradish Cream sauce.
Overall- good and different.
On previous visits I have had several other menu choices.
Out of all the rest I would recommend their Buffalo Brat w/ Elk Chili ($7.95)
Parking in Old Colorado City does get sparse on weekend nights.
I do remember them having live bands and karaoke in the upstairs bar also.
Thunder and buttons is a great place to meet on a Wednesday night. Upstairs they have karaoke, quarter pitchers of pbr and a great scene to meet people around the foosball or pool table. I think it's only a three dollar cover and I've never seen an argument. The smoking section outside is always packed and the rest of the bar is usually pretty busy as well. If you're not across town at the porky's volleyball tournament, stop by.
Review Source:Thunder and Buttons is a relatively nice restaurant and bar. Â The food is good and usually the service downstairs is excellent. Â However when you go upstairs one or two of the bartenders are probably the most obnoxious and rude bartenders I have ever seen. Â I have seen one bartender "L" actually tell people to F*** Off when they are simply asking for a drink. Â It is this type of attitude that makes me not go back.
