"Madame's" Meat Lovers Pizza Buffalo Wings
Art E.

The food was good and the beer was nice and cold. We ordered pizza and wings and we were not disappointed. Hospitality was excellent! They made us feel welcomed. I recommend this to any history buff. You can feel the history in this place!

Smothered fries
Penny R.

Fun touristy place for lunch or dinner. We sat at the bar and got the feel of the place.... Lively servers and "entertainment " everywhere. Smothered fries hit the spot for a snack. Went really well with the Bloody Mary we had to drink! Bartender was friendly and did not hesitate to offer a double shot!!! Definitely worth the stop for some local charm and laughs.

Big ass beer
Michelle L.

Loved this place! Live music, big ice cold beer, good food, fun atmosphere, and just an all around great time. Shout out to our fantastic waitress Leah! She was such a fun and engaging server. She took a cute pic with my son at the bar. We had the pizza, cheese burger, chili dog and chicken salad and we all enjoyed our food. The live performer was terrific! We loved that everyone was dressed in period costumes it really felt immersive. It was a bummer that the hostess covered hers with a long modern day sweater.

3/29/2026, Big Nose Kate restaurant
Sam R.

Sunday, 3/29/2026 - We ate at Big Nose Kate for dinner. Address is 417 E Allen St, Tombstone, AZ 85638. Cool little place. There s free parking lot about a block away. If you're lucky, you can get street parking. Servers are so sweet here. Stockton took a bunch of pictures of us in cowboys and cowgirl costumes. We tipped Stockton. He don't charge for it. He uses our camera to take it. But we get to use his costumes. Foods were just.....meh... here. But we came here for the experience.

Pretty good burger

We regularly take out-of-town visitors to Tombstone, and when we do we always have lunch at Big Nose Kate's. Love the decor, the wait staff in period costumes, the live music, and they don't gouge you for the price of food. Their burgers (see photo) really are pretty good though you can only get them cooked well-done. You often see the actors for the shootout having lunch in here or coming in to stir up some business for the re-enactment. Do visit the gift shop downstairs, they have nice postcards, etc. This place does get busy, so if you visit in peak season you may want to come in during off-hours so you don't have to wait for a table.

Building Exterior on Historic Allen Street

This saloon on historic Allen Street in Tombstone served up a beautiful dining area, great service from the wait staff (in historic attire), live music, great food, reasonable prices and a full bar. Step downstairs to see the gift shop and the former janitor's mineshaft entrance. My Curly Bill's brisket dinner was served with a smile just 10 minutes after I ordered at the table. Everything was delicious, including the lean brisket and warm cornbread. Unfortunately, I was overcharged ($21.99) versus the prices posted online ($19.99) - not cool.

Cozy seating nook at Big anise Jate's Saloon

Atmosphere is awesome! My waitress Jasmin was dressed authenticly and cute and helpful. The food was good and very fast service. The pictures hung around the establishment where authentic and of current day dressed up locals in authentic attire for the 1800s.. so much charm and a live band after 5 o'clock. The movie "Tombstone" was being streamed nonstop in the restaurant. It's a bustling atmosphere with waiters and waitresses dressed in the 1800 era. Made it feel like a current day open live saloon. Thoroughly enjoyed our time in tombstone and recommend all of the attractions. Beautiful scenery in the area mountains, desert landscape. Can't wait to come back next year.!

Music Performance
Allie M.

We visited Tombstone for the weekend, and heard that Big Nose Kate's is a must-do. The ambience was amazing, they had live music and so many fun signs and decorations inside. We enjoyed our drinks, especially the margarita had great flavour. We weren't eating, but the menu had lots of good options. It was practically full around lunchtime so keep in mind there may be a wait. The bathrooms were fairly clean, as much as they can be for a busy day. I would say the live music is what sets it apart from other bars on the main Tombstone Road.

Cool atmosphere, great drinks, and friendly staff. Great place to take a break from touring Tombstone, AZ. Live music was a plus. We ordered the sampler appetizer.

Rueben
Nicole W.

The vibe here is fun, the staff and waiters are all dressed up into character. There was live music when we came and some "outlaws" came in to take pictures. Food was good but not great, the Reuben and pizza were decent considering it's a touristy area. The atmosphere is better than the food, but that's to be expected. We had a great time.

Elotes that were amazing! The sauce was amazing.

Great place to stop while in Tombstone. Sw several great reviews and we decided to stop in for lunch. The Elotes and Rueben sandwich were the perfect size. The sauce and sandwich are worth the drive. I would decently recommend Big Nose Kate's when in Tombstone. PS head down to the basement to see the gift shop and the "Shaft".

Big Ass Beer
Kristina A.

This is a must stop spot in Tombstone. Is it a little kitschy? Absolutely but isn't that the best?! Food came out fresh and popping hot. We started with Dried Zucchini. The ranch was homemade and creamy and delicious. We had several dishes the Rueben, the pastrami sandwich, a Cobb salad and chicken tenders. Everyone was happy with their food. The guys got a big ass beer and opted to purchase a glass to take home. After we ate, we took fun complimentary photos. The attendant suited us up in dusters, hats and guns and we had a great time taking some memorable pictures. Staff was all friendly and welcoming! Overall, a great experience! Highly recommend!

We came for the store and dinning area downstairs mainly. You can find it in the middle of the saloon and there are winding stairs down ward. There is a gift shop and an area talking about a miner from the area who had guarded his silver and could still haunt the place. You can also go upstairs and take some photos of the windows and bar area.

See all

Ask the Community - Big Nose Kate's Saloon

I see that you have a Beyond Meat burger on your menu - that is great! I was wondering if the Beyond Meat patty can be subbed instead of the meat on any of the other style burgers? If it is subbed is there extra cost or straight across sub?

Is Kate's pet friendly?

I would say the answer to that question is NO. I have never seen any pets in all the times I've eaten there. There is a back patio, and if pets are allowed then this would be the only place, but you have to go through the restaurant to enter it.
