    Two Protein Platter with ribs and tri-tip
    Pinky N.

    We love this place! I went back to my go-to: Roadhouse Salad with Tri-tip. Usually I save half for lunch, but I ate the whole thing this time!! He ordered the 2-protein plate with ribs and tri-tip, garlic mash, roadhouse onions and a cornbread muffin. We will be back for sure!

    LOVE that Dixon finally got a Buckhorn Grill. There is plenty of seating inside and outside. There is also a full bar. Service is quick and delicious.

    Walk in and you're right at the ordering counter, greeted promptly by the cashier eager to take your order. Place your order prior to finding your seat, and then get your drinks and bbq sauces. You get a drink cup at the counter, and the fountain is in the back by the bbq sauces and ketchup. There's ample seating and the meals are hearty. The meal for 2 can feed up to 3-4 if you're not that hungry. We tried their Tri tip and ribs two protein meal, neither disappointed. The cornbread muffins were tiny, wish there were more of them since you devour them in a bite. The sweet potato waffle fries were tasty, as was the mashed potatoes. Inside was a sterile environment, clean, but bare. I was happy to see all the tables were cleaned quickly, with no sticky mess left behind. Overall it's pretty good bbq, especially the ribs. Nice to see California finally get some decent bbq. That's this critic's review, until next time, I'll be eating.

    The staff was eager to work. They were friendly, attentive, polite, and ensured we were well taken care of. We had dinner for two. It was worth it. Everything turned out perfect.

    I've been a fan of Buckhorn for almost 25 years from their Winters Steakhouse to one of their BBQ & Grill locations in Vacaville. This one in Dixon just opened up a month or so ago, so I decided to go there for lunch. The restaurant is pretty spacious and also offers outdoor seating. It was a light busy lunch rush with plenty of seating still available. We ordered at the register first before taking our number and grabbing a table. The cashiers and servers there were very friendly and courteous. My Bacon Cheddar Buck sandwich was great! The tri tip was tender and sliced thin; it had great flavor. The bacon was pleasant and thr red ranch sauce inside was really good. I think if I got this sandwich again I'd get it without the cheese. The cheddar was fine, but I thought the others stood on their own. Overall, I enjoyed my first experience at the Dixon location; and it's good to know there's another dining option (and BBQ option) in town.

    New Buckhorn in Dixon CA!

    We went to the new Buckhorn in Dixon for lunch. When you walk in you are greeted warmly by staff. The menu is and LED screen on the back wall, easy to read. They have open seating and give you a table number to place at the table. Orders are typically brought out with in about 15mins. Dining is very casual. Seating includes bar seating, tables and booths. There are 2 TVs available for customers to enjoy. They had a baseball game on. While it is casual, it seems that during evening hours the lighting could create a bit more intimate experience. They also have a patio area for dining with umbrellas for shade. I had the TriTip Buck sandwich. I chose 6oz option for the meat. I opted for onions on the side and some Cole slaw as the side. The TriTip was tender! I tried the dipping sauces and enjoyed the smokehouse and sweet n spicy ones. The mustard one was a bit on the vinegar side for me. My husband enjoyed the Bacon Cheddar Buck sandwich. This is a great place to grab lunch!

    Buckhorn BBQ + Grill is a nice addition to Dixon. Buckhorn is a local chain or restaurants known for their meats - specifically their tri tip. I gave this location a visit during a weekday lunch to see how the food was. Here, you walk in and up to the counter to order. The menu is easily seen on the screens above and behind the cashier or using a physical menu that they provide. There are many options that you can select from - meats, sandwiches, salads, etc. Because Buckhorn is known for their meats I chose to get a 2 protein combination plate that came with my choice of 2 sides and a corn muffin. I thought this would be best so I could see how 2 of their proteins were. I chose the ribs and the tri tip. Both were well prepared and seasoned. I also found that the portion was generous. The ribs were huge and would have probably just filled me up by themselves. It was a whole rack or ribs with a nice char on the top. These ribs were very flavorful and fun to eat. You can also add a number of different sauces to it if you want. Just go to the condiment station to get whatever you like. They have their regular BBQ sauce as well as a spicier option and a couple of others. The tri tip was also great. You can select how you would like the temperature on the meat to be when you order. I found it to be quite tender and with the addition of some of their sauces, it was very enjoyable. For the sides I wanted to try their beans as well as onion rings. Of the two, I preferred the onion rings. The onion rings were crispy and came with ranch. The beans, in my opinion, were too hearty for this already large meal. I found that they would fill you up too quickly and be the last thing you wanted to go for on the plate. If I had a choice again I'd probably skip those and try a different side. Because this is a place that serves a good deal of meat, I found that the price is a little higher than most. The quality is there, but just keep in mind the prices you see on the menu.

    We came here the morning of July 4th and lived the new location!! Very spacious. Service was great and fast! Bartender was awesome and made yummy drinks. Had crayons for kids. Nice environment. We will definitely be back!

    Buckhorn in Dixon is located right off of I80, easily accessible, and with good parking. Indoor and outside seating is available. Order at the counter (food and drinks), get a number, and the food/drinks are brought out to you. They also have a full bar w/ tv's. Food was delish (Tri tip is cooked at your preferred temp), the ambience was great, and the employees were wonderful. Buckhorn is a great addition to this town.

    Perfectly done Tri-tip, au jus, bbq sauce, Mac and Cheese, and Mashed potatoes left overs for another day!

    We have been waiting for the Buckhorn BBQ + Grill to open for many months. We happened to see they were doing their soft opening starting tonight and took the opportunity to give them an early try. We decided to do take-out, as it was over 90* outside and we had our pup with us. Upon arrival, I noticed they do have a nice pet-friendly outside eating area, but it was just a little too hot and breezy out for our comfort. As I entered the place, I was greeted by a number of friendly and inviting employees. You place your order at the counter as you enter, and if eating in, find a table to sit where they deliver your food to your table. I ordered the Feast for Two. We opted for the Caesar salad, Jalapeño cheddar cornbread muffins, Roasted garlic mashed potatoes with gravy, Mac & Cheese, and for the two proteins we chose medium-rare Tri-tip. While waiting, I took a look around the restaurant. The fixtures were nice, the tables clean and staff very friendly. They have a self-serve soda fountain next to dispensers of bbq sauces and ketchup. The food took approximately 15 minutes to be prepared, which for the first night is pretty fast. Upon arriving home with our food, we unpacked the bag and everything we ordered was just as requested. The Caesar salad was plentiful, but could have used more dressing. The Jalapeño cheddar cornbread muffins were so very moist and full of flavor. The Mac & cheese and Roasted garlic mashed potatoes and gravy were both great. The two proteins of Tri-tip came with seven thick pieces of meat, with a side of au jus and horseradish. The food was excellent and the meat was medium rare as requested. They provided an appropriate amount of bbq sauces for the meat and butter for the muffins. We definitely will be back to try the Piggy Tuesday special in the next couple of weeks. I highly recommend giving this brand new restaurant a chance! Unfortunately, we did not take any photos before we enjoyed our meal, but took a couple of photos of what we still have as leftovers. Yum!

    Tri tip cooked medium.

    Super excited to see Buckhorn open on the way home from work. Finally made it in to pick up an order and it was placed on the app. The order was made on time and the greeting was friendly. It was ready as soon as I walked in. I should have checked it before I walked out. I ordered medium. It looked closer to well. I came back and asked if that was what they considered medium. I know that the temperature should be universal but considering the meat the style of cook the establishment itself I figured I'd ask so in the future I'll order medium-rare. The employee who was at the counter said he didn't know anything about that. He likes his well anyway so he wasn't sure maybe that is medium? No problem dude. Thanks, you only work there. I should not expect that an employee of a BBQ restaurant knows what a specific temperature is or looks like for their establishments standards. I know you might think it was also to go and if it sits and steams in the container maybe change the temperature well it said ready in 15 minutes I should up in ten. It did not sit there for long. It may have been sitting their warmer but not in the container it also have steam whole to release it from the container. Any how, that's for the friendly welcome.

    So I ordered chicken platter barbecue I picked it up you get a quart of chicken look like it was just one chicken drumstick so I told him I didn't want that and went back and got another piece said oh you can have both anyway thank you give him a nice little tip then when I get home I said let me check this let me cut this chicken up here the first piece of chicken they gave me it look like it had died and they try to bring it back to life and the second piece that they gave me to replace that smell like old chicken

Overall, a fantastic experience. The icing on the cake was the service, which was truly top shelf. Every community has those people who become part of what makes it special, Scotty is clearly one of those people. Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu.

We changed our lunch plans only to get turned away at the counter. When we ordered, the counter staff said he didn't think it was included in promotion. He went back to talk to the manager and said ... "The promotion doesn't include Impossible because of the price difference." We explained we saw the promotion piece on Good Day Sac and all their burgers were showcased, never mentioning Impossible was excluded. "We can't do it" So, we left. I looked at the promotional poster on the way out and the small print doesn't show any exclusions either, but didn't feel in the National Burger Mood any longer. Taco Wednesday at the nearby Dos Coyote. As much as I want to support local businesses, the lack of simple communication between ownership/employees to anticipate vegetarians might want to participate really bugs the heck out of me so we won't be coming back. Plus, the last time we came here, they messed up our order. Fries instead of tater tots. And no side sauces. Wishing them well.

It was early, around 4:00 p.m., and there were only two people dining inside. They agreed and eventually placed two tables together indoors. My thought was, why was this not offered from the beginning, especially given the heat and how empty the restaurant was? The ambiance was great, but unfortunately, the food was not. I ordered a salad with chicken. The salad was very skimpy, with only two thin slices of apple, two small orange slices, very little feta, and mostly lettuce. The chicken portion was extremely small and was served separately on a plate rather than sliced and placed on the salad as ordered. The other dishes were also small and underwhelming. The burger and fries were nothing special, and the spaghetti was plain and lacked flavor. If you are looking for great ambiance, this may be a nice place to visit. But if you are looking for great food, you may want to consider other options. For a great burger, I would recommend Buckhorn instead. It costs less and is much better.
