Reviews of Thunder and Buttons II (Restaurant)

Andy L

This place was awesome! Had never heard of it and we were down here for a car show and this was close. Food was great and service was quick. Got the nachos and it was a huge portion with great taste. We will definitely be going back. We sat outside and it was shaded just right for our family.

Mystic Moon Shop, Inc

Not a great place to watch football unfortunately. They have many TV's but our team is always on the tiny tv LOL

Mitchell Pinsky

Great service and great food! Would definitely recommend eating here and getting the Ultimate Mac & Cheese.

Annette Hamm

Great food and drink. Really nice people and cozy.

Sarah Peters

The only place we went back to on our vacation. I love the food and service.

Jason Foster

Crazy good food in a cool West Side atmosphere. The schnitzel sandwich was absolutely amazing along with the mac and cheese. Bread pudding was awesome too.

CGW Mining

Great atmosphere, great food, and great service

Marcia Terazzi Basso

Really good restaurant and bar. There is some typical local beers, different and delicious food and really fun place. Staff were friendly and welcoming!

Christina Blackburn-Wanko

Fun atmosphere! Big kid bingo as they call it, is a ton of fun. Drinks are good, decent tequilla selection. Had an irish breakfast shot that was amazing and I had never heard of it before so that was fun too. Ill be back again for Bingo amd Karaoke after!

Spencer Collins

Joseph aka “Crazy Tony” really sucks. He runs karaoke Wed-Sat and is quite the self promoting jerk. He is not courtesy to patrons and does not create a welcoming environment. On top of not being a good host, I watched him “swing dance” with a woman that he DROPPED on her head MULTIPLE times. Again on focused on what he gets out of it and not focusing on making the karaoke and social environment enjoyable. Also, he tells people to not scream in the mic but then he sings and screams the whole time. Hypocrite? I will not be going back. I’ve had enough.

Jamie Huebner

This is my favorite bar in Colorado Springs! They have excellent food and amazing staff! Highly recommend!

Donya Dupree

Amazing quesadillas! Great place to watch football, drink great beer, eat great food

brook Parsons

Food was amazing..Servers cool..Venue needs..New Carpet and updates in Bathrooms!!

Joseph Reno

Great time going singing karaoke with my family! Atmosphere was a bit tight upstairs.

adventures with FLY Frances Youngblood

The spicy Thai chicken sandwich was delicious and the beef tacos and Buffalo burger were great as well!

Sherryl Esplana

I've only been here on Saturdays for big kid bingo! So much fun and we always meet new people because we share our table when the place gets packed. We get here early enough to take advantage of happy hour, and the food is actually pretty good. The servers are attentive even during the bingo game. I have yet to win a prize that's why we keep coming back!

Isaiah Johnson

Great times here!

Jess L.

Love to come here for both the food and the events they host. Fantastic staff and drink selection, and the lettuce wraps are to die for!

Jimmie Abeyta

Top notch food, in a fun and friendly environment. Great location, and a favorite of locals and tourists alike. Lunch to late-night, on the second floor, the experienced staff will guide you through their selection of local brews, and tasty cocktails. Back to the food...amazing, diverse menu, with delicious daily specials. You can always find what you're hungry for. The buffalo burger, is one of the best combination of flavors I've tried. Satisfy your cravings, while enjoying the Westside/Old Colorado City vibe.

Anthony Hamilton

Best bison burger ive ever had. It was impressive.

Kelsie W

Always wanted to come here. Standard bar. The view from the patio is nice

Kyle Hericks

Delicious! Pikes Peak Nachos are the bomb!!

Martin Templeton

Lively atmosphere with a rustic look and fast, friendly service. Delicious elk chili and just-right chicken tacos. Prices are reasonable.

O Miranda

Good Service! The Bison burger was a twist. Wings were just the right amount of spice and fries very yummy! And the Honey spicy sauce is a must!

Carlos T

Great first time experience. Good food. Cold drinks. Nice staff.

Will Tice

Great food and staff. Everyone was great.

Jeremy Scherb

Best little bar on the Avenue

stephen maszaros

I sing here a couple of times a month! Great food & drinks, & Joe runs a great Karaoke Show, &To all my Fans, old & new - Thanks for Joining In on my Sweet Caroline Presentations over the Years with RXP, Bingo & Broncos to Boot

Sonja Koblischke

Neat building! Waitress was nice!

Judy Gas

Stopped in for a drink and then had to have the schnitzel. Great atmosphere and even better food.

Vermont McDade

Delicious bison burger, elk chili, and fries!

Sabrina Heath

We went on a karaoke night and it was pretty dead. We had some food and drinks but overall this place was overrated. The food was right at average and maybe even slightly above, but whoever tends to the karaoke list seems to only care about tips and not the quality of music or the tips he gets. We had good times, but if I were given time back in Colorado Springs, then I would not come back.

Skylar G

Best service and best people. Love T &Bs!

Ben Harkins

Nachos were great, but the Buffalo chicken sandwich was dry. Disappointing to run out of the lunch special during lunch. Some unnecessarily awkward interactions from the staff, too. It's named ofter 2 elk, if you're curious about the name

Brooke Spriggs

Good food and good service.

David Caughman

Had a great time. Karaoke is not normally my thing but the crowd was happy, upbeat, and really encouraging to the singers. Some we actually very good. Had a great night out.

Jeffrey Barker

Considering we were part of a party of 50, they did well. They took orders for the early arrivals to let us know they’d be swamped at the bar—and they were. The deep fried pickles were good but not the best we’ve had. The buffalo burger was very salty. Something about the combination of bacon, buffalo meat, and an egg made it difficult to eat. It was delicious but just too much. Not sure what it was and it definitely would’ve been amazing if the salt was toned down. The OCC Sunset was also great. Refreshing and attractively made.

john john

Karaoke night was awesome. One of the best karaoke DJs I've seen. Drinks were Stout fairly priced. Can't wait to go back.

Charles Schubarth

The food was absolutely delicious! I got the beef medallions, my wife got fish and chips, and my daughter got the kids mac and cheese. Everything tasted good and the portions were more than enough to fill you up.

Gate City Boat Repair

Good place to watch football. All NFL games available even east coast games

Anthony Ozanic

I went to thunder a buttons several times and the place is amazing. Especially on karaoke nights! Just grab a few friends and order a few pitchers and maybe sing your heart out, you'll enjoy. I have made a pretty friends there and have brought plenty of friends there. I would recommend it for a good time.

Bob Welp

Good food. Good Service. They just added a Reuben sandwich to the menu and it is the best I have ever had. Slow cooked chunks of corned beef. Home made dressing. Amazing!

Chris Aunan

I've never eaten here but the beer is great. I usually try something new that is recommended by the bartenders and i've always been happy with their recommendations. Fun atmosphere for meeting new people

Alexis Chapdelaine

Had an outstanding experience here the other night . We are in from New Hampshire on vacation and my wife and I were looking for a bite to eat. Decided to try out Thunder Buttons Saloon. The service was excellent the server was very accommodating and took the time to talk with us and make sure we were all set with our experience. The food was excellent as well the fried pickles were the best I Ever had and the food was hot. I recommend this restaurant highly

Arianna Lopez

I didn't have high expectations for this place, but WOW my expectations were far exceeded!! Had the fried pickles and soft pretzels for an appetizer and they were AMAZING!! Specially the soft pretzels and beer cheese! Had the classic burger and it was the best burger I've ever had! Restaurant was pretty much full and there only seemed to be one server and another person helping bring out food, but regardless, the service was good and our server constantly checked on us. Can't wait to come back!

Jodie Pias

What's not to love. Great food, great energy, great music, great everything. The one home bar you can always rely on. Kareoke is always lit!!!!

Elizabeth Brandes

Excellent elk chili. Superb service. Great food in general.

say b

Awesome bar. Younger atmosphere. Great karaoke.

Shannon Sayar

Was very disappointed with my experience here yesterday. They denied my husband and I entry to the upstairs area because we had our two week old infant with us. Their claim was that they wanted to avoid the crying and no one under 21 was allowed entry. He was sleeping and the sign actually states that no one under 21 after 9pm could enter but at the time it was 5pm. I just find it disappointing that my family was denied entry. Being treated second class because I have a child is unacceptable, not to mention the fact that we wouldn't have been breaking any rules in the first place. Would not suggest this establishment to anyone, especially since there are so many other bars in that area that don't have such ridiculous roles that don't apply.

Loretta Martinez

Had lots of fun playing bingo, even though I didn't win.

Chris Rice

We had lunch and sat outside on a hot afternoon to people watch. The patio is shaded, but has limited seating. The server was friendly and the food was good. I had the chicken flatbread, which was very fresh and tasty.

Kevin Kilbane

Just had the best steak & scampi of my life... the mashed potatoes has bacon and cheddar in them!!

John Rishton

I love this place! I've been three times and I always feel comfortable and satisfied. They have quality food, always cooked well, and the servings never dissapoint. If you're interested in drinks, the liquid MJ is GREAT.

Grant Lewis

Horrible food and terrible service.

Andi Graham

Low expectations were far exceeded! Had beef tips with vegetables; the garlic mushroom gravy was delicious. Friend had a wedge salad that looked amazing (and he agreed it was) - covered with fresh bleu cheese, bacon and drizzled with balsamic. His green pork chile was also incredible. Overall, great food, great service, reasonable price - we're happy.

Raquel chambers-gilbert

Small and overcrowded...Went there on Karaoke night, the DJ was only interested in showcasing its regular performers and not new comers. They had a great sound system that was turned up so, loud that you couldn't enjoy the music or the show. Never going back.

Frank Kesterson

Nice place, only had drinks. They closed the pool tables down at midnight on a Thursday? Its a bar just found this weird.

Jill Blackburn

I have eaten the medallions here and they've been wonderful but tonight the green beans with hard and fully undercooked even after I sent them back for another toss. Also the pork chop was too salty. I don't know what happened but this was the worst food. However, the manager was exceptional and took off my drink and meal so I will still be back.

Tamra Loehr

Oh my goodness! There fried pickles are absolutely the best! I also had there pasta primavera and it was the bomb, and a Patron Margarita, also was delicious. Service was great too. A must go too!

Scott Shuagis

Must try the Chicken and Bacon salad *I would add red onions to the salad* Friendly staff. great atmosphere

Pat Nielsen

Good food, nice neighborhood atmosphere

None So Vile

The karaoke DJ (Joe I think his name is) is the worst I’ve ever seen and I’ve been to hundreds of karaoke spots all over the world. I get it that it’s an often annoying and thankless job, but to be a complete jerk because you’re pulled away from flirting is bottom barrel. Once can be forgiven, but I’ve noticed him not fixing sound or putting his job first because of socializing (almost always with girls) every time I’ve been. I’ll stick to Dublin House, Johnny’s Navajo Hogan, and Rhino’s for sing time. Sorry bartenders, you’ve all been good to me which is why you saved a star.

Hannah Marie

Fun place! Great atmosphere. My husband and I had a great time.

Dan Garlock

Food was great. Loved the history of the building and the staff was super friendly.

Don Nomar

The company I had was great and very friendly. The bartender who served me was so polite and very quick to get to me. It made me feel good that I was noticed right away. She was also very beautiful so that was a plus.

matthew raney

Always a great experience. Wonderful drinks, food, and service.

Nancy Smith

The menu selection were not so good. What was on the menu was really overpriced for what you got. All the chefs today take a really good dish and put their own twist on it. Some of the combination suck. Now they can call it their signature dish and can charge more. Won't go back.

lois culler

Great service and really tasty food! We shared the pretzels and cheese for an appetizer. The mustard that came on the side was delicious with a nice bite to it. I got the black bean burger and my husband got a gingered salmon salad. Both were awesome!

Arielle Cabico

I went on a Saturday night, which was fun with karaoke. I'm not sure if there were multiple restroom locations, but I was only directed to the one downstairs. Bar/karaoke was located upstairs.

Rebekah Perez

Laid-back and good food. The staff was just the right level of attentive, and it felt like a place we could be comfortable kicking back and relaxing for a while. We started with the pub pretzels and elk chile and shared the fish and chips entree. Everything tasted fresh and delicious; I would suggest any of the dishes to a friend. Prices were fair for the portions recieved. We enjoyed our time here and will visit again next time we're in Colorado Springs.

Lelia Gillen

Good Food was awesome and Good prices

Lance Ross

They have the best Calamari in the country.

Jorge Freixa

One of my favorite spots in Old Colorado city. Right across from the park and and coffee shop. You absolutely have to try the Buffalo burger! ❤

Luke Scott

Out of salmon, out of black bean burgers, blackened shrimp fajitas were a bit too sweet. Switched Out their IPA from Goat Patch to Red Leg. Not impressed. Shame since this is a favorite neighborhood haunt...plus side is the people but a ton of new faces made it feel a bit inhospitable.

Fred Winther

Meadow and myself had a nice evening

Sara Stover

Had a large group for dinner on a Thursday night. Chelsea in the upstairs bar was amazing. Gave great service even though they were busy. Gave us recommendations and we went with the Turkey Melt and the Schnitzel Sandwiches. We were not disappointed at all. We will be back to try some of the other items that they were out of like the Slopper. Food was excellent, atmosphere was fun and upbeat and service was so good!!

Chara Newman

They have great bar b q wings damn! They're good!

Diane Johnson

Service and food was good!

Reyghan Carpenter

The food and the atmosphere are excellent!

C.C. Springraven

Great bar!!! We were there about a month ago. The bartender was awesome. The drinks are great. Very generous with the shots. Over all I absolutely loved this bar. It’s the perfect dark pub atmosphere that I love. If you want to unwind in a warm and welcoming pub then this is your place.

Ruthie Parcels

I love this place and the food is great too.

Amanda Lee

Nice place they had karaoke that night in the up stairs bar but had a pool hall and a patio up stairs with a quite bar area down stairs with a juke box. The drinks were great!

KC Volkmar

Really a busy place! As a local...have always had a great meal. Could use a little updating...but that's Old Colorado City!

s michopo

The best and most friendly service. The food is absolutely delicious and they are constantly tweaking their menu to perfection. I like going here many times a month and it never gets old or feels like I've overstayed my welcome.

Sheryl Nalley

Schnitzel sandwich, fish and chips and Byrne burger. Everything was truly wonderful. Sizeable portions with plenty left to go. Excellent sides. Best homemade pretzels that I've found in COS yet! Better priced than two larger places and larger portion of beer cheese and spicy mustard dippers made them a fabulous deal. Will definitely be back. On touristy strip but you're not gouged with inflated prices. Yay, this place will be one of my regular go-to often!

Debtfree Granny

Stopped here for dinner before the Blizzard Bomb of 2019. Cozy inside with plenty of tables and bar seating. Hostess was bubbly and personable. Plenty of tasty food options. The French Onion Soup was EXCELLENT!! Our server was attentive and offered food and beer suggestions. Clean restrooms.

Isabella Wiseman

When I visited my friend last year she took me here and I loved it. Food was great. Service was exceptional. Very warm welcome. Next time I'm back in Colorado Springs I will DEFINITELY go back. First class rating.

Christina Wilks

Staff were awesome and the burger was amazing.

Bobbie Mueller

LOVE LOVE LOVE YHE PEEPS AND FOOD IS ALWAYS AMAZING- STAY COOL

Nicole Gredinberg

Cute place. Bigger than I thought. Wedge salad is small but my Husbands steak salad was the right size. Good menu w salads, burgers, mac n cheese and starters.

Nate Sweely

Service was not very good and food was not that great.

Sean Wallstrom

I’m not a fan of karaoke here. It used to be fun, but the host, Joe, would rather pick his favorites than let everyone have a fair chance. Once the bar picks a new host we’ll take our business back, because everything else is a lot of fun. Sean

Che Freeman

Great spot for Friday night karaoke. Fun DJ

Robert De Shazo

Really fun place. A bit of everything there. It's usually our first stop. But, more action is found a few blocks over. Definitely check it out, though.

Michelle Barone

The bartenders can actually make good drinks. I go to alot of places where the bartenders suck but this staff is definitely worth the visit. Ive only ordered food here 2 times and i wasnt impressed, but it was really busy both times and it was probably why.

Thor

First time here and the staff was really friendly. I ordered their signature burger and it was delicious! I will be back!

Corey Simmons

Great atmosphere, amazing bison burgers.

Gmail Gmail

Awesome happy hour specials!!! The food is great as well as the drinks. The drink menu is unique and has a well rounded variety

Jenny Smith

Honestly was just here for a Door Dash order but nonetheless liked it. Seemed like a cool place. Had not heard of it before, nor been there before. Still trying to figure out how they came up with the name lol! I say it was named after someone's cats haha!

Carissa Mihm

Volumes on karaoke could be adjusted bathrooms cleaned up lil better

Jaime Munoz

Good food and drink specials during happy hour

Andrea Aniol-DeBlois

The food was really good bar food, the atmosphere was fun, and the service was excellent. The waitress even chased me down the street to give me my sunglasses back after I left them. I'll definitely be going back.

Andrew Drobny

Fun good atmosphere

Kayla Tully

The lobster & shrimp tortelini was very good

Maddi Armstrong

Fun environment, great drink prices, pool tables and karaoke!

Eric Hansen

Best buffalo burger in Colorado springs hands down

Amanda Bishop

Drinks are always great! Always friendly staff.

Eddie G

Went on a Tuesday night and it was dead so we had great service. There seemed to be some kind of trivia night upstairs going on. The classic burger was great and the bartenders and employees were really welcoming and gave us great information on things to do around the area as we're from out of town.

Mary McKeever

Good food and great staff. Can get crowded later in the day. Best to go before 5PM for dinner.

Wylie Stivers

Would rate it a 6 if possible. The waitress was very nice and didn't take long at all to get us our drinks. Since we were new, she gave us plenty of time to order and it was well worth the look through the menu. I had a salad with two different dressings (which they didn't charge extra for) one had peanut and chili and the other had ginger and maybe soy. Both were possibly the best dressings I have ever had anywhere. The food that we all got (wife and two young kids) was all far above expectations considering the price on the menu (I'll be back here EVERY TIME I VISIT Colorado Springs). Friendly atmosphere, music at just the right level, clean restrooms, nice people and unbelievably good food. Absolute MUST GO as far as I'm concerned.

blake wagner

First time trying to place, I was very pleased. Servers were very friendly, the food tasted great, was cooked just right. And good choices of draft beer too.

SJ Crandall

The elk chili mac was cited to us as the server's absolute favorite on the menu, and so I ordered that. I don't want to go home without getting more!

Kalley Nelson

CHELSEA IS THE BEST

Hailey Himes

Love the atmosphere here! I like going to the top floor to go out on the porch and smoke a cig, then play a game of pool and follow it up with a trip to the bar and then jam to some karaoke.

Tara Malchow

Great service and great food. If I'm in the area again I'd go again.

John Paul Wile

Staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Had a great time hanging out with my dad watching baseball and grabbing a quick lunch. Great atmosphere.

Kati Wells

Said it's a country bar. It is not. However; good clean place. Plenty of music. Pool tables up stares. Food was awesome! Room to dance. Cool little place.

Dave Lambert

Decent place for a meal. Try the elk chili. Nice outdoor seating.

Taryn Graf

I really wanted to like it but they had karaoke on a Friday night. Just not my thing.

William Alexander

The quinoa lettuce appetizer was great, add the grilled chicken. The white gummy bear shot and green tea shots were pretty tasty.

Charity Hensley

The food was delicious, friendly service and fun atmosphere.

Matraca Beesley

Very good burgers and fries. Friendly atmosphere and staff!!

Ben Garcia

Great drink prices. Not too crowded either. They need more Bronco fans though...lol

Eileen Healy

Nice neighborhood pub feel, decent beer list and fun mixed drinks. Friendly crowd, nice bartenders, they show sports on multiple TVs at the bar and around the room if you like that. Not too loud when I was there.

James Gill

Fun place. Great GF options. Well stocked bar with ciders. TVs and Friendly staff

Kendra Crippen

Nice place to come for lunch/dinner or even a night out. It's been a few months since I ordered food but it's always been good. Always had friendly staff and drink are very reasonable.

Catalina Norton

Love this place! Staff is amazing, prices are reasonable. Karaoke is super!

Adriane tntzmom245

Great Service and good food! My Birthday dinner and drinks were just what I ordered. I was pleasantly surprised. Their Bread Pudding dessert was so good!

Tarra Galvadon

Do not eat!! I repeat do not eat the chicken fingers!!! And if you wanna know why go for it!

Libby M

This is a go to for a hearty meal after a long hike. Delicious food, definitely well price. Highly recommend the buffalo burger. The servers were laid back but attentive and the cocktail menu was fantastic. Loved this place!

Crystal Whatley

Best karaoke that my husband and I have ever been to (and we've done many). Staff is super nice and the building is beautiful. Crowd was about our age (30ish) so the music was awesome of course :)

George Melonas

I'm a nice guy and never make any problems, ever. The greeting guy cursed me out because I'm 51 years old and I showed him my ID... there's an ID sign that says, "No Exceptions." What did I do wrong? Anyone that employs a scary looking savage, like the greeter who inexplicably ocosted me, does not need my business or money. There are other places I can feel safe... and have a better time. I'm a US Navy veteran of 30-years honorable service... I've been shot at and I've retired now. I want the scary guy at the front to know that I literally shed my blood defending you're right to say the F-bomb at me multiple times. That dude needs to get sober and find peace with himself. I'll go sing "God Bless America" some where that he isn't.

Mary Eddinger

The food and service was great. Was there with my Aunt from out of town and plan to go back with my husband.

Aliii Valley

Awesome staff, great food, good atmosphere love this place.

Sheryl Matthew

Always the friendliest staff and no matter what I have ordered it has been delicious. Their three dollar specials on Wednesday bring us back every week.

Brogan Hagan

Got kicked out of the bar at a work party, our work party started at 9pm he bought everyone meal tickets and unlimited drinks for the night for a couple thousand dollars then they shut the bar down and opened up karaoke for everyone at 10pm. Waste of money. Food was good though.

Tim Torres

Well maintained pool tables, large murals and fairly priced drinks. Friendly to out of towners. Cant wait to return when I'm back in Colorado.

chris henry

Great place for a burger. Nice atmosphere and really nice staff. I would recommend for out-of-towners and locals!

David Bowen

Great food and service! Buffalo Burger was awesome!

Lari Foster

Yum! Everyone loved what they ordered!

Eric Hsu

Good selection of beer. The burger I ordered didn't look like anything special, but it did end up tasting very good.

C. Parker-Wilkes

Nice place with good food.

Christina Miller

Great food, drinks and service!

Larry Dietzen

Excellent food & drink!

Juan Carlos Nieves-Perez

I have gone here multiple times for karaoke, it is definitely one of the best places for that in town. The stage is in the front so you feel like a real artist. The DJ is very funny and makes the night fun. The only bad thing is that it is so popular that it gets very full so get there early if you want to sing. The bar is very good and they make a great starburst shot!

Lyssa Skaggs

Chilli Mac was amazing! I loved the fried pickles too!

Drew Rodgers

No complaints. Definitely the best local dive down there.

Tia Paul

Drinks are strong and environment is always fun. The bar is frequently abandoned for several minutes at a time, though. Other than this it's a great time.

Richard Schmidt

Amazing food and a great atmosphere!!!

Larry Wright

It was pretty busy and we were pretty stoned but the waiter was very patient and helpful even though he was swamped with tables he never lost his cool. And he had a pretty neat mustache.

Varun Sharma

Great food, good conversation!

CK Brown

Super love this place! Friendly service, good food.. and it’s a clean bar.

Mitchell McCarthy

Great food and awesome atmosphere! Beer selection is on point, too!

Alicia G

First time doing out of town karaoke and it was great! Very welcoming staff and crowd to ease the nerves. Bar was also fun - good drinks and friendly bartenders.

Amanda Petrock

Food was absolutely delicious!

Jaylene B

Awesome food, awesome service

ProSwitz

There wasn't a wait on Cinco de Mayo so we went. The drinks are strong, the food is decent.

Mark Martinez

Been awhile since my last visit, but the place was great, and updated, enjoyed it very much.
