The menu was diverse incorporating local quality meats & fish. He offered his knowledge generously throughout our stay, delighting our participants in a truly one-of-a-kind experience.

While researching Julian staples to visit/try, I came across this restaurant and was eager to try…read morebased on the "farm-to-table" aspect and not going to lie, the food looked absolutely delicious and amazing. We were not disappointed at all. Upon arriving, there was a musician playing, and they did seat us off to the right so we could not see but could hear still. There is outdoor and indoor seating, but at the time we came it appeared that the outdoor was reserved for an event. We happily sat inside! Having met Jeremy's parents earlier in the day who also recommended his restaurant, and they were just lovely, we had hoped to possibly meet Jeremy too. I wanted to try everything, but we opt on getting a few dishes to share. Our son ordered the filet mignon and they were able to substitute mashed potatoes for fries. Amazing!! The mac & brisket appetizer appeared to be the highlight and specialty and we just had to order it. Every bite was cheeesy and delicious with the brisket very moist. We couldn't go without ordering the Brussels sprouts and it had a twist with ponzu sauce and pineapple. Definitely a different take and I thoroughly enjoyed the taste. Every bite was foodgasmic and I highly recommend!!! I knew coming here that some Yelpers have experienced wavering in quality, so glad we did not experience that at all. As of the date that we came, we understood that the restaurant had been listed for sale, not sure if Jeremy sold it yet or not. I hope not, we plan on coming back this summer!

My daughter's meal was fish and chips and not that great. The prices are high. If you wanna get a steak, it will be $60, thank you. The chairs are hard and it's kind of like a regular restaurant.

No signs indicating they were closed. Someone came out and asked if they could help us. We said we were looking for the tasting room from the signs and he started flipping out screaming that we better get out of here, and we had no business there. We quickly got out of there because the guy seemed seriously unhinged. Not sure how they are for wedding receptions but i wouldn't go near there without arranging things ahead of time and having a sheriff escort you there with copies of your correspondence just to be safe. Ps if the owner sees this review please just put up another sign by the main one saying appointment only or something. It only costs about 15 bucks in supplies and would maybe save a life.

Every course, from the appetizers to the main courses, was incredible and beautifully presented. Many of our guests reached out about how it was simply such good food. One of our deciding factors was the fact that Buckboard is actually a restaurant here in San Diego, so their food was not just "wedding food" but actually restaurant quality. We fell in love instantly after our tasting. Knowing they are a local San Diego restaurant gave us so much confidence in food quality, and they absolutely delivered. Their service on the day of our wedding was seamless. It felt like everything was handled effortlessly, which allowed us to enjoy the day stress-free. My husband and I planned our wedding on our own and one of the biggest reliefs for us was that Buckboard took care of so many details - from linens, plates, and bar service to the propane for the heaters. Having one point of contact for everything was a great aspect. We truly didn't worry about their services at all day of. Buckboard's familiarity with our venue was another huge plus. They worked in perfect harmony with the venue staff. And as a same-sex couple, we were deeply touched by how welcomed and respected they made us feel throughout the entire process. We wholeheartedly recommend Buckboard Catering for their incredible food, great service, and outstanding communication. They made our wedding day not just special, but unforgettable. Thank you, Buckboard, for everything, you're truly the best!

Stopped by after visiting Julian ( so many people there lunch lines were hours)…read more Wife ordered Chicken Pot Pie and I ordered the Hot Chicken Sandwich. This was the best meal we've had in a long time. Pot pie was so cute as crust was a not the traditional crust on top, but rather chicken shaped crust standing in the pot pie, and the pearl onions were the eggs. Wife said it was the best pot pie she has ever eaten. My Hot Chicken sandwich had a taste profile that was the right heat and nice flavor balance. Best I've ever eaten. Service was excellent, and the restaurant was modern and updated. Could have asked for better food and service. This will definitely be on come again list.

We had high hopes this place would improve... but nope. This was my second visit--and definitely my…read morelast. I even brought friends who had never been here before, thinking it could become one of our regular stops when we're out hitting the trails. Instead, it left a bad taste in everyone's mouth... and not just from the food. Waitress: Where do I even start. She claimed she was hard of hearing--but her attitude spoke loud and clear. Tossing menus on the table, aggressively slamming salsa down, and getting snarky over being off because our party count was off by one person. Seriously? It took two seconds to adjust the table, but apparently that was just too much. Yes, she technically did her job... but with such a cold, unwelcoming, and rigid attitude that it made the whole experience uncomfortable. What really stood out? We were there first and ready to order, yet she chose to take care of every smaller table that came in after us. No communication, no "I'll be right with you," nothing. Just ignored. Basic courtesy clearly isn't part of the service here. And trust me--I used to be a waitress. I handled large parties all the time and actually communicated with my tables. It's not that hard. Honestly, if gratuity hadn't already been forced onto the bill, she would've gotten $0. The only pleasant person we encountered was the busser--quick, friendly, and actually seemed like he wanted to be there. Maybe swap their roles, because he outperformed her by a mile. Food: Let's talk about the food... if that's what we're calling it. Everything came out cold. Not "warm-ish," not "could be hotter"... just straight up cold. It felt like our plates were sitting under a heat lamp for way too long before making it to the table. One "white" friend asked to have her meal fixed--fine, no problem. But when another "Hispanic" friend asked the same thing? Suddenly there was attitude, menu slamming, and mumbling under her breath. So... what exactly was the difference? Why the inconsistency and hostility? If the kitchen is that backed up, maybe management should step in and help instead of letting food die in the window. Just a thought. Final Thoughts: This place had potential... but that waitress single-handedly ruined it. We'll be taking our group (and our money) elsewhere--Dudley's Bakery is looking like a much better option moving forward. I usually bring large groups out here, so this isn't a small loss. Unfortunately, if this is the level of service they're okay with, this place isn't going to improve anytime soon. At this point, it's less "Farmhouse charm" and more "junky barn energy."

We then waited 45 minutes to get a table. Maybe a cook called in sick or something, there could have been a perfectly reasonable explanation, but seeing half the tables in the restaurant have empty tables whilst sitting outside was deflating. They still have great food and my go to is the pesto, which has super generous portions. But I think this might be my last time here as I will likely be checking out different restaurants in Julian next time I visit.

Joe also surprised us with a yummy dessert for our anniversary and delicious Moka coffee to boot. We will certainly be back! Thank you for helping us celebrate our anniversary dinner. UPDATE: Okay, we stopped by here for a second time for a quick early dinner (same week) and it was delightful once again. We sat on their quaint patio with our dogs this time. It was very peaceful. Could hear many different birds and the church bell. We received a huge surprise when some angel who blessed us with paying for our dinner. Wow, what a special surprise!!! We do not know who it was, but what sweet act of kindness. We will certainly be paying it forward. Thank you to whoever you are and may God bless you immensely!!! Thanks again Joe for a wonderful meal and visit as always! You're the best!! We stay here in Julian around 3 or so times a year for a good couple of weeks. We will surely be back again and again when visiting the lovely town. :)

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

(that alone would garner a 5 star review) But it's the level of service and the attention to detail that puts Dennis and his crew so far above other businesses. Dennis not only helped me craft a menu that would feed everyone a hearty meal, (Each portion you order is designed for a lumberjack!) he also created an individual meal for my brother with special needs who was thrilled that he had his own plate of his favorite food: Meatballs! Dennis also made sure that there were plenty of side dishes that were perfect for the vegetarians in my family! I highly recommend BB2U for any occasion! I can't wait for my next big event so I can try the WHOLE PIG ROAST!!!
