Buckhorn Saloon: Reviews & Ratings
Love my town tavern! Great atmosphere. Very old place. Drink prices are great. Service is great. Love my mountain peeps.
The Buckhorn is nestled in the small town of North Fork. It's rustic inside and out and the moment you walk in you're greeted with a friendly welcome. We ordered lunch & we're immediately surprised by menu selection & prices. It was like stepping back in time where you could order just about anything you could want to eat for under $10.00! My daughter got the chili hot dog. I got a cheeseburger combo w/fries & rings & my husband got a BLT & side salad. The fixings arrive at our table in a 6 pack carton (smart)& food served hot. Cheeseburger wasn't huge but not small either, it was just the right size for me. The bun was warm, soft & lightly toasted & my first bite was tasty. Chili dog was served open faced on a toasted bun with fixings on the side for you to top for your liking. Chili was homemade & delicious & my daughter who usually finds an excuse to not eat all the bun cleaned her plate saying delicious & she'd definitely would order it again. I did manage to snag a small bite before she devoured it & chilli was very tasty and it would probably be worth it to order a bowl just by itself. My husband's BLT was a good size, stuffed well with fixings. His side salad had a good amount & variety of toppings on it making his lunch in his words "excellent". Although we've been there for drinks this was our first meal. Our friends always rave about breakfast but they were serving lunch but given the opportunity to get there in time for breakfast, I'm sure would be just as delicious as lunch! Surprisingly, for a bar, atmosphere is what you expect. The food was not what I expected. This IS a place to stop & try if you're in the area for a drink or meal. It's definitely on my return list!
Good food great service awesome ambiance.been going there for 40 years now.i don't know what else to say .
Wonderful food. Good service and definitely old west ambiance. We will go back. Prices are very reasonable. This is the geographic center of the California, so that's an interesting sidelight.
Great place! Lots of history, beautiful setting, great service! Lots of great people from all over and locals.
A great place to eat, drink, kick back, and socialise. A variety of people to meet. Weekend entertainment is unmatched.
Love the old town atmosphere. Great people. Good food. Great place to end up during a Sunday motorcycle ride.
My grandfather often took me to the Buckhorn Saloon. Kids weren't allowed in the main room then; it was rough, full of lumberjacks and mill workers drinking their paycheck. The saloon stood on an old stagecoach hotel site, a gateway to the high Sierra. Sam Peckinpah, whose family the nearby mountain is named after, was a patron. Last week, my daughter went there with her grandpa. She likes the pancakes. Little has changed. The last two photos in this gallery, fifteen years apart, show this. If you're ever in North Fork, the exact center of California, you must stop by.
Great people in a historic like cabin with history and pool tables! The large sour croute dog was outstandingly for only $5. Great Outdoors type inner scenery. Fun place.
Great friendly staff! They are now open for lunch and good food. This place has an old ambiance with deer head , bears ,, etc etc if you like older places it's a must see. I recommend supporting local mountain community places and this is a favorite.
