This is our third or fourth time coming to the Buckhorn, over the course of the last several years. We’re out-of-towners but the decent menu prices and consistently good food always brings us back. The bread is excellent, warm & fluffy with delicious whipped butter on the side. The wedge salad is fresh and crisp, quite possibly one of the best wedges I’ve ever eaten. The truffle parm fries are bomb. The Cajun steak bites are perfect for our teens. The adults always order the bone-in ribeye. Unfortunately this time, our steak was cooked medium, not medium rare per our request. It was Father’s Day, and we already waited a while for our food so we didn’t want to mention the discrepancy and have to wait even longer for a new steak. Another blunder was our party was seated in the corner window and it was swarming with flies. It was quite annoying. A fly was wedged between our plate and asparagus- it was a turn off but we just removed it and carried on. Aside from that, it’s a great steakhouse, I highly recommend!

Consistently a good experience at Buckhorn Steakhouse. It is a bit pricey, but you get generous portions, so always some leftovers to enjoy later. I got the Shrimp Linguini and it was excellent. They have a good selection of drinks for any taste. Decent kid’s menu so you can dine something any kid will like.

The greatest service and management I have ever experienced. Buckhorn Steakhouse is one of my favorite local, family-owned businesses to support. The staff is attentive, friendly, and professional, making every visit a truly enjoyable experience. The care they put into both their food and service makes it clear that they value their customers and community. I highly recommend supporting this gem in Winters.

My friends and I went for dinner before seeing Jo Koy at Cache Creek Casino. We had the tater tot appetizer and the calamari, both absolutely amazing. My bestie and I shared the tomahawk steak meal for 2 and we brought the bone home for our 2 golden retrievers. We loved the steak and they loved the bone lol definitely coming back for our next gathering!

We visited Buckhorn Steakhouse to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary after it was highly recommended by a coworker—and it did not disappoint! From the ease of making reservations online to the warm welcome we received upon arrival, everything was seamless. The staff was incredibly polite and courteous, creating a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. Our food was absolutely on point—every bite was delicious and cooked to perfection. The service was prompt with great attention to detail, making our special evening feel even more memorable. We’re already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend!

We made reservations & were sat in a back room off of the bar area that was dimly lit. Our waitress was amazing. Very attentive & kind. The food was delicious however, I was disappointed that I paid $25.00 for such a tiny piece of lobster.
