If you've ever driven through Rio Vista, you've probably heard of Foster's Bighorn (and if you…read morehaven't stopped in yet, you should.) Foster's Bighorn is a local peeps restaurant and bar. It houses a private collection of over 300 big game specimens from Africa and North America, making it a great place to see what big game hunting looked like in the 1930s. The moment you walk in, you're surrounded by world-class trophies covering the walls near the ceiling. It's unlike any other dining atmosphere around in the east bay. For me, this place is pure nostalgia. My dad used to bring me here once a year when he had business in Rio Vista. I remember being completely fascinated by all the trophies mounted on the walls. Large game hunting wasn't something my family participated in, but growing up in a farming family, animals raised for food were a normal part of life. Even so, the quality and quantity of the collection always left me in awe. Going back as an adult, I can say that feeling hasn't changed. The collection is still impressive. This visit, we kept it simple with drinks and appetizers. My friend ordered a margarita on the rocks, and I had a pale ale. Both were delicious and reasonably priced. The bar itself is a classic 65-foot bar that feels like it belongs in another era. For food, I had the Caesar salad, and we split the ten-inch pepperoni pizza. The pizza featured roni cups and felt like a solid, classic appetizer-style pizza . The side Caesar salad was a great portion with crisp lettuce, shaved Parmigiana, and crunchy croutons, simple and tasty. Foster's Bighorn offers a Chop House style menu for lunch and dinner, making it a great spot for a quick bite or a full sit down dinner. I'd absolutely go back: first for the nostalgia, second for the drinks, and third for the food. It's a one-of-a-kind place that feels like stepping into history while enjoying a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

I felt it was dry and the catfish was flavorless, or else it was just so damn thin you couldn't taste it. It was over powered by the red onions and tomatoes. The star of the dish was the one thing you couldn't taste which was disappointing. Everyone else loved their food.

He was…read morewelcoming, provided great conversation with some history of the area and made sure our order was perfect. The onion rings were house made. Huge with a crisp and crunchy batter on them. My pesto sandwich was bomb! The ciabatta bread was super soft. Cheese melted perfectly. Would order again for sure. My dad went with the spaghetti and meatballs. He enjoyed it and had a large amount of it to take home. This is a must visit for anyone in the Rio Vista area. Large menu with diverse options. Full bar including plenty of beers on tap. Clean restaurant and bathrooms as well. I could see myself and my fiancee taking the scenic drive up to Rio Vista for the some more of their great food and drinks soon.

They were happy to split the checks, which made what could have been an uncomfortable splitting of the bill easy peasy. My husband order the River Burger, a standard hamburger. I had the Tuna Melt. I was very disappointed with my sandwich, there was not much tuna inside and for the price ($3 higher than the burger) it was expensive for what I got. The Sidewinder Fries were swimming in oil. My husbands Garlic Fries were likewise much too oily. The views of the water are wonderful and the bar and restaurant seem to be very popular with the locals. There were a few birthday parties going on during our visit. Next time in Rio Vista, I'll probably be trying a different restaurant.

I decided to get the Belgium waffle combo but I was slightly disappointed because it didn't have whipped cream and strawberries like the regular Belgium waffle did. So it felt like a plain breakfast for a combo plate. But I will say, the bacon made up for it! Perfectly crispy and not oily at all. All in all, it was a nice little old diner on Main Street, where everyone knows everyone and it seems like a nice place to dine for your typical breakfast and lunch diner cravings.

I slowly noticed that they were cutting some on my favorite dishes. I guess they are not able to keep the nice menu they used to have. I just got an email with a letter to all of us. They were ending their pasta dishes from now on. Totally bites. I love their pastas . That is what it made the place more than a regular bar. Really miss them steamed clams... Now they want to specialize in just pizza and burgers. Well I love their Tuscan pizza but I am not sure I will travel all the way down there just for pizza. It's totally a bummer. I know that they have to survive and all but I sure will miss the great scratch made food. It sure lasted a nice long time. Good luck to them and I hope they make it alright.

Since I use a service animal, I wanted to confirm that we would be accommodated. I couldn't find a confirmation in my emails, so I called the hotel. I was met with an AI "assistant" with no way to speak to a human. I tried for over a week to confirm our reservation through phone calls, email, and the contact form on their website, I kept being told that I would hear back in one business day if I had a reservation. Since I never heard, I assumed I had made a mistake, gave up, and booked a new room. Lo and behold I get a confirmation text from "Possibly Spam," and it's the confirmation from the Delta Queen for both my initial reservation AND the new one I had just made. If someone had just picked up the phone or responded to any of the emails, I would still have the $150 I am now out because I tried to do my due diligence. Because of how close it is to the date we need to be up there, we will still be staying. I hope that when we do check in we get to talk to an actual human, and I can plead my case for a refund.
