The food (we were thankful they offered Beyond Burgers) and atmosphere were great! Very nice waitresses. And... the music was fantastic.
Exciting Place to Eat and Drink! Lots of noise, fun atmosphere Band came on at 7:00 and they were Awesome. Food was good! Very enjoyable, worth the short wait
My boyfriend and I planned a last minute trip to Tombstone. Big Nose Kate was the first bar we stopped at from our little boutique hotel. The locals there were so nice. The server was great. He knew everything he had without looking at a menu. It was a little loud but of course to be expected with a late night bar.
Located on Allen street in the heart of historic Tombstone, Arizona. It felt like I was in an old western movie but this was real, not some fake movie set. One thing that stood out was the friendliness of the folks around Tombstone. Big Nose Kate's was no different, the staff was super nice and the service was top notch. They genuinely looked happy to be there, from the bartender to the waitstaff all dressed in western attire from the 1800s. For the Vegan folks they do have an impossible burger option which was so surprising! I ordered it with a side of fries, I believe there are other options but I was super busy semi working as a photographer that evening. Washed it all down with a couple of N/A beers and walked out the saloon doors feeling totally happy. I just needed some boots with spurs on my walk back on those wooden sidewalks for an epic evening. I will be back and bring the posse along next time
Worth the stop. This is not fast food. May be my favorite watering hole in Tombstone. Live music even during the week. Good food and great service. Slap in the middle of Historic Tombstone stone. See our YouTube channel Coolest Life.
We came here twice for the vibe! Saturday night was filled with energy and a live band. I loved my margarita, but husband wasn't a fan of muddled fruit in old fashioned. The fried buffalo wings were too thick (fried) for me, though sauce was tasty. Sunday eve was quiet. This time around I got a peppermint russian and it was just what I needed! We had great service both times and feel the drinks are very reasonably priced. Everyone who works here is friendly and seems to enjoy what they do!
On a visit to Tombstone, my boyfriend and I stopped by Big Nose Kate's Saloon our first night in town. It was one of the places that popped up most frequently during our research for Tombstone. When we walked in, it was a large saloon with lots of photos, signs to read, and lights all around. It was really cool! We asked for a table and were seated right away. We each ordered some food and got some whiskey that was supposedly the go-to of Doc Holiday. The ambiance of the saloon alone was a lot of fun to experience while we sipped on our drinks and waited for the food. After a few minutes, everything came out. The menu is akin to a classic American diner. It was yummy and did the job after a long drive! We actually enjoyed our first time enough that we returned the next day for lunch. One of the guys at the saloon actually recognized us from the day before and greeted us very warmly. This time my boyfriend and I got to sit on the stage area which was nice to overlook the rest of the saloon. We had some food and drinks which hit the spot as before! Near the end, we asked if someone could take some photos of us by the piano. We ended up having a whole photo shoot with costumes and props! It was a lot of fun. Overall, I had a really good time at Big Kate's. The food wasn't life changing per se by the drinks, ambiance, and kind people made it an invaluable experience. Would definitely come back!
The atmosphere here is great. We happened to come on a Thursday night which was karaoke night. So maybe I'm biased because I love karaoke. But they DID have the second best fried zucchini I've ever had so hey, good enough for me. And their ranch is amazing! The waitress was nice though she did forget my drink. I didn't get charged for it, however, so it's also still okay. I don't think I'd ever come visit Tombstone again, but if I did, I'll come back here :)
