Excellent American plates, especially the tri-tip platter. Generous portions all around. Rarely does anyone in our family leave food on the plate. But here, we even took some half plates to go. They recommend medium rare on the tri-tip and that’s exactly the right taste. Love the bbq sauces on the table. And love the sides, especially the mixed veggies and sweet potatoes. You can’t go wrong here. Can’t wait to come back and try something else. Easy street parking or lots nearby. Put this place on your list the next time you’re in Walnut Creek.

Wow!!! The BEST Food I have had for a great price since I arrived in California!!. BBQ was just like southern made, fries were literally and crispy and the wedge salad is HUGE. The pic is less than a 1/3 of what is left!! We split it and could not finish it. Tons of fresh bacon, tomatoes, green onions and blue cheese. I am blown away. 30 miles from me in Oakland..and I will be back!!

This is located in downtown Walnut Creek where there are street parking and public parking all around, a big plus in my book. I’ve past this place many time and never went in. This time we went in for lunch.
The food was good, I didn’t find anything noteworthy or anything I tasting that would make me say oooooh so yummy! I did like the fact that when I ordered the Salmon, they gave me a choice to get it as a sandwich or a platter. So I ordered the platter while my cousin ordered the sandwich (the bread was soft brioche). The presentation of the food I needs improvement. However presentation is not everything but it’s how you get people’s attention.
A friend ordered impossible burger, she said “it was standard” it was good and she was glad they had that option. The service was ok. You order at the front and they bring the food to you (so it’s not like a full service restaurant).
The Ambiance is bright, clean, and not too loud. So for overall experience I give this place 3.5 stars. Again I wish we could give half stars. So it was good but can be better. Until next time….

One of my favorite restaurants, it’s too bad there isn’t a location that is closer. This restaurant was one that I would try to visit every time I would visit the Bay Area. But that was when there was a location at Stoneridge Mall. Unfortunately, due to COVID and low visitation the location at the Mall no longer exists.The closest location is in Walnut Creek, and even that is not very close or convenient.
It’s the Tri-Tip Salad that pulls me in, healthy, tasty and the portion size is HUGE! Although it is a little on the pricey side, that’s why it’s a treat and not an everyday occurrence.
The service is good too, and the staff is always making sure the restaurant is presentable and clean. I have never received poor customer service at this location.

This is my favorite spot in Walnut creek. I have been there a lot of times and always enjoyed visiting. The foods are always great. My favorite is chicken salad it crispy taco. And chicken with mash potatoes is awesome. Meats fresh and juicy. The service is always fast and guys are super friendly. Also they have super valuable kids menu. Thanks for this great service

Pleasantly surprised by the food quality, speed of service, table availability on Saturday night, pricing and hospitality.
Way to go, Buckhorn Team!
From the time we’ve ordered till food got delivered took about 10 mins. Food was delivered with the positive greeting and a smile.
Salad came fresh, with crispy taco shell. All ingredients were well divided and perfectly balanced.
Well done Tri Tip was served with grilled veggies and never touched mashed potatoes (do need some improvement). Tri Tip and veggies evaporated as fast as they were delivered though.
Overall enjoyed and will surely be back.

This is a little kept secret! I discovered this chain in 2013, there are several locations but you miss them unless you’re looking for them I got the Cabo Chop Salad without the Tortilla shell. Something quick and healthy! I order two Lime Vinaigrette but one was more than enough.

Buffalo Chicken Salad! For $14, it is not worth it at all. It barely has any chicken. For that price tag, I expected a way reacher dish than what they offer. I will never come here again. I did not come here to just eat lettuce. The whole dish consists of lettuce.

They had some really good choices. I had the tri-tip burger and fries. The presentation was nice, and it was fresh, grilled well done, with no pink in it. I would return again; the toppings were also fresh.
