Eat, Drink, and Soak Up the West

The Buffalo Bill Western restaurant sits near the MOL gas station along Route 37 in an imposing, air-conditioned, two-story building designed by a U.S. scenographer who packed in the hallmarks of Native American lands. The result: an unmistakable, authentic Western atmosphere paired with generous plates and friendly service throughout each event.

Stay Inside a Renaissance Castle

Make it a weekend at the Huszárvár Hotel within the enchanting Rákóczi Castle (Rákóczi-vár) walls. This romantic castle hotel blends the mood of old times with modern comfort: contemporary furnishings, accessible rooms for wheelchair users, and a park-like green setting in the city center. The restaurant serves hearty, home-style dishes to overnight and walk-in guests alike. Need a venue? A garden-facing great hall, private room, and cellar are ready for weddings, banquets, conferences, and product launches. Stroll the castle garden and let the place’s quiet magic take over.

Pros
+
Family-friendly vibe: a daytime market with crafts, antiques, lemonade, and a Western-themed restaurant kids will find fun
+
Easy-going schedule: pops up monthly on third Saturdays 8:00–14:00, so you can pair it with other sightseeing
+
No Hungarian required: bargaining and browsing antiques are visual and simple; staff at the Western restaurant likely handle basic English
+
Reachable by car: right off Route 37 near a MOL gas station, with clear wayfinding and easy parking typical of roadside venues
+
Public transport workable: Szerencs is on rail lines from Budapest/Miskolc, then a short local ride or walk to Gyár utca
+
Unique add-on: staying inside Rákóczi Castle’s Huszárvár Hotel gives a cool Renaissance-castle overnight you won’t get at most flea markets
+
Fun twist on Americana: a U.S.-designed Western restaurant adds familiar flavors and an entertaining theme between treasure hunts
Cons
Not world-famous: the market and Szerencs aren’t on most U.S. tourists’ radar, so info and reviews may be sparse
Limited hours: only 8:00–14:00 and specific dates (with possible changes), which can clash with tight itineraries
Smaller-scale vibe: expect a local flea/craft market, not a giant Paris-Portobello-style antique fair
Without a car, last-mile logistics from the train/bus could take extra planning, especially on a short winter day
