Stopped by Buckhorn for the first time for Father's Day lunch. Great joint for pretty good BBQ! Buckhorn is an order at the counter and get a number type place. The line was long when we came in, but moved quickly. The bigger problem is that there aren't nearly enough tables for how many folks were dining in. We did end up finding a table on their patio- which is always a win for our family. For about $70, we got two kids' meals (one slider and one chicken tenders), a shareables order of the tri-tip tacos (that my wife ate as her entree), and a two-protein platter with the pulled pork and tri-tip. They asked how we wanted our tri-tip cooked, and we answered medium, but all of the tri-tip came out well done. The flavors of everything were good, though, and the portions are substantial. The kids' meals are a great value. The two-protein platter was enough for two meals if you wanted it to be. The tacos were filled generously and were very tasty. I enjoyed the coleslaw- though I read some others find it bland. I did not think that at all. I really enjoyed the selection of sauces available at Buckhorn. They have a pump-your-own-sauce station with several types of BBQ sauce, horseradish sauce, ketchup, and spicy ranch. Yum! My favorite was the mustard-based BBQ sauce. Overall, I would totally return to Buckhorn. I could probably lean 4 stars here, but I think it's a better spot for BBQ than many others in my area and in the Roseville area that I've tried. It's certainly made my Roseville area visit list. read more

Giving Buckhorn 3 stars is short of a stretch because it's really a 2 1/2 star experience but here is the good and not so good... First off, the format is order at counter and either pick up togo or get a number to have the food brought to you. Inside seating was clean but w a cafeteria vibe. They have what could loosely be described as a bar completely unmanned on a Saturday afternoon. Fortunately we weren't interested that today. So very meh. The service at the counter was very pleasant then you go into make your own sodas. My wife had the tri-tip burger and her tri-tip was grisly. I had the pulled pork sandwich and it was Sahara dry. Even generous amounts of bbq sauce couldn't save it. Bbq sauce not bad though. Cole slaw for the sando was also pretty good. The highlight of the visit were the OG fries. Huge plate suitable for sharing across 2-4 people...If we ever went back, it would be for cold beers and sharing a plate of fries.... read more

We love Buckhorn so it was nice to try out this location in Rocklin. We walked in and it wasn't too busy yet. The layout is the same as any location where you order food at the counter, get your number, and wait at table. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, which is nice because the indoor space isn't very big. Staff are helpful. They keep everything organized and clear out tables quickly We got the feast for 2 meal and added the garlic fries. It came with choice of 2 meats, 2 sides, salad, and corn bread or rolls. The portions were big enough for 2 adults and 2 kids to eat. They offer different bbq sauces at a self serve station. The food didn't take too long to come out. And we enjoyed everything. We did find the smoked sausage a little spicy for the kids, but they loved the mac and cheese and mashed potatoes. We liked this location even if it's a little small. The food was good as other locations we've been to, and the service was great. read more

One of my favorite go to places for casual dine in! I have been craving their Krispy Chicken and Avocado Salad ever since I tried it and their sweet potato fries. They both taste so fresh and they give an adequate portion so you're left feeling full and satisfied. The Krispy Chicken is clean fried so it has such a light crunchy texture without it feeling heavy or oily. The service is great, you order at the front the moment you walk in and grab whatever table is open. They're very attentive and the place is super spacious and clean. read more

Buckhorn BBQ + Grill - Krispy Chicken and Avocado Salad and Sweet Potato Fries - Barbeque Near Me - Rocklin, California

I placed my order tonight at 7:08 p.m. and waited 36 minutes for a salad and a small order of mashed potatoes. During that time, the customers who ordered immediately before me had already eaten and were leaving, while two customers who ordered after me had received their food and were already eating. After waiting all that time, I learned that my order had apparently been ready and was sitting behind the registers. The employee who took my order had walked right past me without letting me know it was ready. What made the experience even more frustrating was that during the entire 36 minutes I waited, no one greeted me, checked on my order, or acknowledged me. Several times I tried saying "excuse me" so I could ask about my food, but I was repeatedly ignored. Eventually, another employee noticed my order sitting behind the register. She apologized and kindly offered to have it remade. Unfortunately, because I do not drive at night and needed to return to my hotel, waiting for another order was not a practical option. When I returned to my hotel room, I began eating my salad. After only two bites, I found a long black hair in my salad with blue cheese stuck to it. I was absolutely disgusted. After waiting 36 minutes, being repeatedly ignored, and receiving food that had been sitting behind the register without anyone telling me it was ready, finding a long black hair in my food made an already terrible experience even worse. I am in Roseville on a work trip and had planned my meals for the next two days around eating here because I had anticipated having a great experience. Instead, I am incredibly disappointed. I will also be letting the rest of my organization know about my experience, as this will not be a restaurant we choose for lunch during this trip or future work trips. read more

Buckhorn was a pretty decent spot. I came here for lunch one afternoon because I needed to pick things up at Walmart. Once I got there my food was ready, (online) and I was able to sit inside. The customer service at this location is hella good. Legit. They non stopped checked up on me and made sure I was good. I just got the sandwich and soup special with a drink. They have hella sauces as well and I like sauces. Next time I'm in the area I will get something different. read more

Awesome California BBQ! Great sauce options. Much better taste, meat quality, meat cut, quantity and better value than Lucilles BBQ! Full bar available. Tri-Tip Buck 6 oz had plenty of meat on a nice crunchy long mild garlic roll. Meat quality and cut was excellent and much better than Lucilles! If you want great BBQ, come here or Buckhorn Folsom, dont be disappointed with Lucilles unfortunate consistent lack of quality and reduced value. read more

Solid 4, the feast for two is exactly what is pictured. Tons of sides, good tasting meat, but portions could be more. I'd recommend the sandwiches, seems a lot more bang for your buck, that being said, everything was great, amazing corn bread, good salad, and everything tasted relatively healthy for a bbq joint. Staff was nice, place was quick, can't complain, but seems like a lot of people get the feast for two, honestly I'd advise against it, get two individual portions unless you're really craving sides read more

Everything, bought it off of to good to go and it was really nice both times. The first meal was 1/2 chicken smoked and sides, Mac and cheese and broccoli salad, all tasted like it just came out of the kitchen fresh, and probably did. Picked it up and the service was excellent super easy to get and get. The parking lot was clean and easy to access, the interior was clean and inviting. Definitely a worthwhile experience, and all at a sweet price! To good not to miss, a California treat read more

They were fast taking & delivering exactly what we asked for, and more. It was a wonderful back-to-school dinner for my daughter and I. They don't have great BBQ like we do with the multiple locations of Buckhorn in Sac. The staff was quick, friendly and most important, in my mind, accurate! read more

Came with the mister for lunch on a Friday & there was a good amount of people. We waited for a moment to be helped by a friendly staffer who apologized for the wait. We ordered at the counter, got a number, & then picked a spot to sit. It is a big, airy, bright space from all the windows & natural light. It was clean & well-maintained. Seating options are plentiful at the bar, high tops, tables, booths, & outdoor shaded patio. The music was loud alternative. Three TVs had sports on. Fountain drinks & sauces are self serve. However, I didn't see additional napkins available & they didn't offer wet wipes like I remember at another location I've visited. There are hand sanitizer wall dispensers. Our food was brought to the table quickly by a friendly server, along with utensils & napkins. Our order-- -Tri Tip Buck (6 oz, no onions) Combo with Fries The meat was tender & smoky, the bread buttery, & the jus mildly flavored. The fries were great--crispy & potato-y. They were a perfect vehicle for dipping in the tasty sauces we picked. The fries were a big portion that we were able to share. -Mushroom Swiss Big Beef Sandwich The beef was juicy & tender, but I couldn't taste any smokiness like described. The bun was soft. The onions were cooked nicely with a textural bite & had a subtle herb flavor. I liked the mushroom component. The sauce was good. However, nothing stood out because it was all so mildly flavored. I definitely needed some added barbecue sauce. We enjoyed a hearty meal here & had a good lunch experience. read more

This was a very disappointing experience. With being a new customer, I ordered a Tri-Ti Buck sandwich. I asked to have it cooked medium well with tater tots. This is a higher priced lunch compared to what I usually have. When the sandwich was served it was very rare which isn't a deal breaker but not preferred. The most disappointing thing was the meat was so full of fat and Grissel I pulled most of the meat out. The tots were soaking in oil. I was waiting for a server to come by to ask if i needed anything or "How is your food" but no such luck. After about ten minutes I left but for sure will not visit this place again. read more

The food here is so delicious. Our favorite time to come is for happy hour. Great deals. The service is quick. The restaurant is clean and enjoyable. I have been many times and it never disappoints. Kid friendly too!! read more

This place was packed-- barely any seating inside so my boyfriend decided to sit outside and the staff was nice enough to turn the heaters on for us. It was nice being alone outside so we could demolish some ribs with no shame. Our food came in quickly soon after we found our seats. The ribs were thick and tender with some good BBQ flavor. My tri-tip was not very tender and I found myself chewing for a while... the sides were great (though I found some onion skin in my rings). read more

I would add a picture of my food but I ate it, all of it, immediately, at a dangerous pace. I ordered way too much, it didn't stop me from finishing. If you're thinking of eating here - DO IT!!!! Oh my god. I'm so in love. Jalapeño cheddar corn bread!!!!????!!!!! Revolutionary. I thoroughly enjoyed tri tip, mashed potatoes, Mac and cheese, veggies, salad, corn bread, dinner roll, and the previously mentioned jalachedda corn bread. AND i doordashed it, it made a 20 minute trip before i even ate it and it was still phenomenal. Yes yes yes yes 100000 read more

We ordered a family pack. The steak and ribs were very good. The Mac and cheese hit the spot. I also enjoyed their corn bread. The service to get our food was fast and convenient. We recommend Buckhorn BBQ and we will be back! read more

Been here once. And I have to say what I ordered wasn't that good. The meat was very grissly. My son hit the pretzel and that was very good. Lots of stuff on the menu to choose from so maybe we will come here and check it out again. read more

Approx 1:30 after lunch crowd, Tuesday, 4/28/26. I got the Tri Tip Buck with Au Jus. Half the small amount of beef was fat. If they trim in-house, it was a sloppy job. The roll was NOT toasted. The au jus was totally plain. Usually Au Jus tends to be on the salty side. This Au Jus tasted like it came from Campbell's beef broth low or no salt. The side broccoli salad was fine. Just like I make. Husband got the Steak House Burger. He asked for no pink, but got pink. The crispy onion was tasteless and he pushed it off. He also got a side of onion rings. Not great. The Cheesesteak Shop has better onion rings. Having stated all that, we want to return for pulled pork, ribs and such. Hoping for a better experience. Service was good when you flag down someone. Ambience is fine for an indoor bar. Outside seating is great in these mild temps. read more

2 kids picking dinner...between buckhorn bbq and in-n-out across the street...some back and forth, but ended up at buckhorn...a line to the counter to order...menu above the wall...at the counter and placing orders...was difficult finding stuff for the kids...staff quickly taking out a kids menu...they should post it above with the regular menu...cancelling my order and starting from scratch...hamburger slider with tater tots $9...another hamburger with sweet potato fries $9...full roadhouse salad $12.40...order of mini churros $10 for dessert...taking number stand to self-seating tables....one of the restaurant having self-serve fountain drink machines...quite the variety of drinks available...a sauce bar next to the fountains with quite a variety of sauces...busy evening and food coming out slowly and delivered to the table...kids loved the burgers, tater tots and sweet potato fries...finished clean... the roadhouse salad was good, but little overdressed and a mountain of fried onion strings...probably ask for the dressing on the side...fried onions is probably not the healthiest topping for a salad....still good overall...churros came out last and definitely fresh and piping hot...so good...about $50 for a full salad and 2 kids burger meals... read more

I've reviewed here before, but I thought I'd give a quick update... I took my mom out for a quick light dinner and we decided to come here. It's rapidly becoming one of my "go to" spots. It's conveniently located for me, has plenty of options of food I like. The more I come here, the more I notice little things that tell me the place is well managed. It's well staffed... the staff are friendly, helpful and respectful. They seem happy... which, honestly, stands out against some other restaurants these days. They all seem to be pulling their weight and looking out for things they can do to improve the overall situation... the customer experience... keeping the place clean, etc. Something as simple as picking up a napkin off the floor - I can think of numerous other places I've been where I've watched staff walk past something on the floor numerous times. I also happened to see goals listed on a whiteboard in a back room when someone came through a door - again, a nod to management, who obviously discusses these things with the whole staff and it shows... they all work as a team. Kudos. read more

Came in for lunch. It was our first time there but had to try it since it smelled so good. We signed up for the rewards. It is free and on our next visit we get a free order of burnt ends. We ordered and ate there. It was on the weekend and lunch rush so it was a bit busy and a little hard to get a table since you seat yourself. They do have a little bar area to sit and outside seating as well. Everyone was very pleasant and nice. You get your own drinks and condiments and wait for them to bring your food. The food came out and was good and had good flavor and good portions. Definitely will come again. read more

About as mediocre as I expected. My fault for spending money here. If you're looking for good bbq- this is not the place, customer service was fine, ambiance is annoyingly modern but it's 2026 that's whatever. My main problem is the food was so lack luster that I opened up yelp and am writing a review. No soul, offensively small portions for a $25 plate, raisins in the coleslaw, in a word the whole experience was... boring. Side note- a BBQ place with no brisket is insane to me but I tried to look past that red flag in hopes there'd be something that would make me be a fan since I'm local to this establishment. 100% will not be coming back, if you want a boring, run of the mill, lifeless corporate bbq place then Buckhorn BBQ + Grill is the place for you. Edit* also, the sauces are trash, Cali gold is just dressed up mustard and same for their house sauce. read more

You go to the counter and order your food, staff brings it to you. A bit pricey almost 20,00 for a trim tip dip. It's meat on bread n the dip was not full of flavor. Garlic fries were good. Felt over priced for what you get. Everything is ordered individually, Ala cart. read more

Food is still great, trip-tip, garlic mashed, rolls, but the reason for the bad rating is because of the sauce. What happened? They used to have an in-house spicy BBQ sauce and switched to what is essentially a pre-packaged "Sweet Baby Ray's" style sweet BBQ sauce that comes in cups like a fast food restaurant. I keep thinking this must be some kind of mistake, or some weird shortage. read more

Buckhorn BBQ + Grill - I'm trying to find a way to describe how disappointing this BBQ sauce is compared to what they used to offer. But frankly it's insulting. - Barbeque Near Me - Rocklin, California

We've actually been going to this location since it opened over 5 years ago. I've only been to the Roseville, Galleria before this. Rocklin is so easy to maneuver compared to the Galleria. The food at Rocklin is consistently great. We usually get the Tri-tip sandwiches and split a side. We like it rare and they've never faulted. There is nothing I can recommend to make this sandwich better. This week we ordered the Piggy Tuesday Deal for 2. The deal is pulled pork, a massive sausage and 1/2 a rack of baby back ribs. We chose Apple slaw, Macaroni & cheese with cornbread. They provided ample horseradish and BBQ sauce. Not only did the food exceed expectations but the ambiance coupled with employees that look happy to do a good job make Buckhorn a place we'll be going back often! Cheers to Piggy Tuesdays read more

In addition to eating at the restaurant and ordering takeout on a regular basis, I got catering from Buckhorn for my daughter's baby shower. The food was amazing and very generous. My prego daughter was obsessed with the corn muffins and I can see why. They are so moist and flavorful! The tri-tip is really tender and also full of flavor. I haven't had anything that I didn't love at Buckhorn. Definitely a favorite! read more

This was my first meal at a Buckhorn's and it was delicious! I had the tri-tip sandwich with fries. The bun is fresh and buttery, the caramelized onions were perfect, and the fries were perfectly crispy. But my favourite was the horseradish sauce!!! It was the PERFECT complement to the tender beef. I need to go back simply for this. read more

We ordered two big beef sandwiches which are seasonal. Both are good though short of memorable.

Food was very good. Little pricy, but the food was worth it. Quick service. Ambiance was nice! This is a go to for grilling. 5 stars two meat combo. Chicken had a lot of flavor and was very juicy. Tri tip was on the very rare side. Still tasted very good. Mac tasted good and was very cheesy. Roasted veggies was a perfect compliment to the meats. read more

Went here our first time with my wife, mother and 2 Grandsons. The restaurant was very busy. Good Sign. The menu is decent they have a lot of choices several soft drink choices. My wife had the Lettuce wrap burger 4/5, I ordered the Roadhouse Bleu. Mom Had the Buckhorn burger both grandsons had the hamburger sliders. All the burgers were sizeable but your are going to pay for it. We ordered a side of the potato waffle fries 4/5 which were good. My burger had little if any Blue Cheese on it but it was decent 3/5. The other burgers were decent 4/5. Our bill for the 5 of us was just under $100. Will i go back maybe but I won't be in any rush. read more
