That rare feeling when a visit to a restaurant leaves you not just satisfied, but genuinely happy. The tri-tip was incredibly tender and flavorful. The tacos had huge pieces of freshly fried fish cooked in clean, fresh oil — no burnt or old oil taste at all. And the California salad was so delicious, I didn’t even notice how I finished that huge plate.
The portions are very generous, and everything was absolutely delicious. We also tried the craft beer — it was amazingly fresh and authentic. I’ll remember this place as one where everything feels real — juicy, perfectly cooked meat, fresh fish, a salad full of ripe, flavorful avocado , and truly craft beer.
The staff and servers were all extremely friendly. The restaurant itself is spotless, cozy, and offers beautiful window views. There are no unpleasant odors or kitchen smells — just a clean, comfortable atmosphere.
I’ll be recommending this spot to all my friends. Huge thanks to everyone who works here for your dedication and incredible energy — you guys are the best! ❤️

It was pretty Meh… The Pulled Pork was dry, the cornbread was mushy, the Sausage was like a Hickory Farms Summer Sausage. The Apple Slaw and the fries were good. Once your food arrives…. you’re on your own. Not once did they inquire about how we were doing. Never again!

Amazing flavors for sure. This place has gotten way better. The vinaigrette is to die for and the fish tacos—omgoshhh. Tri tip platter was fantastic too. All the sauces they have are tasty and fun to try. Love this place. Lots of drinks to choose from also at the soda machine area. Place is really clean and they get your food out quick. Nice tables to people watch out the big windows.

I’ve been coming here on Mondays with my wife for quite some time now. If you come by before 5pm, they have a happy hour menu which has some good deals. However, we don’t really come there for the food or the drinks specifically, we come there for the experience week after week. The bartender (William) is the coolest, most laid back, understanding guy at buckhorn. He’s been our all-in-one for as long as we went there. Their food is great and William is very knowledgeable in mixing up some fancy drinks. Attached photos of some of our favorite dishes from the happy hour.

I lived in Vacaville years ago, and we always went to the Buckhorn in Winters for our birthday and special occasion dinners. Now that I’ve moved here, I decided to try this Buckhorn for my sons birthday, 6 of us had a wonderful time! I was dropped off so don’t know where he had to park or how far. The interior is large and echoey, like a warehouse, so its not the cozy, intimate style I prefer, like the other Buckhorn was. I got the tri tip, coleslaw and onion rings, he got the chicken salad, others ordered vegan, we all enjoyed it and had leftovers. Then the waitress surprised him, and won me over with a HUGE slice of chocolate cake, and it was huge! Probably a quarter of a cake! I WAS IMPRESSED! Sorry I didn’t get pictures! I’ll come for every birthday if they repeat that! Thank you all for a special time!

We just had catered pulled pork for a small family birthday dinner at home, did not eat at the restaurant. The birthday girl requested this pulled pork. 4 out of 10 people liked the pulled pork, the rest did not, and didn’t eat their serving. One person actually had issues during the night d/t the meat being over-seasoned. Overall, will not be getting this pulled pork again.
