Super fun atmosphere. Food was pretty good diner style fare. Our server was terrific! My boys had the chicken strips, my husband had the Reuben, and I had the pulled pork. Live music was fun! Don’t forget to check out the basement gift shop under the restaurant! Totally a fun stop.

If you’re in the town too tough to die you definitely need to come down and wet your whistle at big nose Kate’s and enjoy some great hospitality and food as well

Good food, live music, gift shop in basement, unique urinals, fun place with a lot of energy and staff was friendly. I asked around and the locals said this was the best place to eat and they didn’t lie! Pulled pork was perfect! My chicken sandwich was amazing. Kids devoured the burgers. Music was on the loud side, so having a conversation was tricky though.

What a cool place! The vibe makes you feel like you’ve gone back in time to an old wild west saloon. We sat at the bar and had excellent service. Had the reuben and the Cowboy cheesesteak sandwiches. Both were big portions with lots of fries, and very good! Drink prices were reasonable too. Met some fun patrons too! Really enjoyed!

I enjoyed Big Nose Kate’s. The servers dress the part, the decor really leans into the brand and I hear the live music is pretty good. The only real knock I have on this place was the food. Not that it wasn’t good because it was tasty but I got the Overstuffed Rueban and the newspaper menu (nice touch) led me to believe that the sandwich would be busting at the seams. It was…meh at the seams. An adequate amount of corned beef, but the sauerkraut was lacking and the overall size was a little less than normal. But maybe that was a one off or the other options are better. Overall I would return, it seems like it would really be kicking on the weekend.

Stepping into Big Nose Kate’s Saloon is truly to step back in time. From its authentic 1880s bar and wood floors to live entertainment and period-clad employees, this place is a must-see when visiting Tombstone.

Service was great. Neat to go in for the history. Grab a beer and get food and mixed drinks somewhere else. The famous bloody mary was honestly the worst I’ve ever had, didn’t finish it. Cobb salad was a salad and chicken trnderd are hard to mess up.

A bar chalked full of tombstone memorabilia, you can watch Kurt Russell and his possy assault the Cowboys at the OK 24/7. The bar girls are dressed up in period dresses which was a delightful to the eyes, most of them had nice posture and were very physically fit . We just had drinks at the bar but they do serve food which looks great

Very fun, lively atmosphere. We ordered 4 different types of hamburgers and all of them were great. Good price for a fair meal. I had the chili cheese fries as a side. Freshly made onion rings were amazing. Oh and cold beer. You have to experience this saloon if you go to Tombstone.
