Back in its original spot, in a building still belonging to its original owner, the longtime locally adored Horseshoe restaurant is making its return to Breckenridge.
Originally known as Horseshoe II, the original restaurant opened 1978 and went on to have a 30-year run, becoming one of Breckenridge’s most-loved local spots.
This revival has strong ties with the restaurant’s original roots as the new owner works with the previous owner to “give Horseshoe back to Breckenridge.”
This establishment, officially called Horseshoe Breck, and unofficially deemed Horseshoe III, puts a new twist on the Horseshoe name.
Kelly Boyd, a San Diego native and the current owner of Horseshoe Breck, first met Horseshoe II’s former owner, Reggie Gray, in May. Months later, Boyd would reopen the doors to an establishment that locals had sorely missed.
Reggie Gray named the spot after his father’s restaurant, the original Horseshoe, which was in Trenton, New Jersey. After completing his degree in restaurant and hotel management from Cornell University, Gray landed in Breckenridge in 1974 and began working in the restaurant scene. Almost four years later, he was given the opportunity to buy a restaurant on 115 Main St. and Horseshoe II was born.
