Irma’s Buffalo Bill Restaurant and Saloon

​

Fancy enough for royalty, the Irma is home to cowboys and cowgirls wanting a great meal with a great atmosphere. Offering their famous roast beef, or a full buffet dinner, the Irma is well worth a visit. If you’re not interested in eating, slide into the Silver Saddle Saloon and have drink while enjoying the ambience. If it’s action you want, enjoy the gunfight that takes place outside the front of the Irma at 6:00pm Monday through Saturday. This is a stop you won’t regret!
