A girl walks into a bar... really, I did! I was traveling for work, and quickly yelp'd local restaurants, and Buckhorn popped up. Don't confuse this place with a similarly named restaurant, as they couldn't be further from one another in all ways. This is your neighborhood bar & grill, but mostly bar. Its that cool place that you can go to for cheap eats and well drinks for happy hour. You can play pool, sing karaoke, or just hang with the locals. The lunch menu is basic... basically good! Yes, great food at a bar. Yes, this local watering hole isnt shabby when it comes to good eats. We ordered a mix of onion rings/fries, and the honey bbq's wings. Leslie the barkeep is a sweetheart. She keeps the rift raft at bay, and is so welcoming. She knew that I wasnt local, and really went out of her way to make sure that we felt at home. The onion rings were DELISH! Not greasy, not all bready, not saturated in " stuff" They were hot and just yummy. I even liked the fact that " Big John" (he's the cook) didnt over season them. The fries werent my jam, but were your basic fries. The wings were not what I expected. I will admit that I figured the food would be basic, if that. Instead, they were WOW. Hot, large wings, covered in honey BBQ sauce that made me want to keep eating. With your Yelp check in, they will take $2.00 off of your appetizer. Cool bar. Good food. Great service. Yeah, I am a fan!

Better Food, Better Drinks, Better Stop!  Catchy.

One day I'll get food here. (kitchen remodel?) Until then, the HH drink specials have kept me satiated. It's a sweet change from the craft beer artisan mumbo jumbo that has permeated throughout most of Davis. (and Sacramento, and...) The burgers that came from the back looked delicious, but I cannot speak for them. Only a promise to try them in the future. There is an outdoor patio with some picnic tables but the weather here is extreme at times. You can probably smoke out there too.

Chillin' at the Buckhorn with the fabulous Rae ‿

Love this place!! First time.. feels like home already. The only place in Cali with chicken wings!!

Looking forward to trying this place for the first time.

It's a dive bar with good burgers and sandwiches - friendly staff, too. Burgers and French Dip were tasty. Enjoyed the green salads, also. We will be back again, I think.

Menu of the day with various options. Last part says Fried Chicken (1 leg/1thigh) with fries

Came in randomly on an early Sunday afternoon on our way home from Tahoe, and right away was greeted and seated. Arrived just in time for the kitchen to open and multiple football games playing on different TVs. Nice sports bar with great customer service by the bartender (Eddie). Glad to have entered randomly for a pit stop b/c the food was pretty good as well. 2 - Chk/avocado sandwiches, a B.L.T.A sandwich with 2 orders of fries and a salad. Not your average sports bar food/menu so the variety of options was much appreciated at a decent price. Much better selection and environment than going to a fastfood joint.

The food here is RIDICULOUSLY amazing for the price. I've had the wings, sandwiches, and burgers cooked by Brandon and Jarrod and can't wait to come back and try other dishes. My boyfriend and I ate like royalty and drank cocktails and the bill was under $25. Bartenders are always friendly, and there's great DJ entertainment at night with karaoke on Wednesdays.

Outdoor area and small but cozy inside. Am I in Urban Cowboy?

Cash only. There's an ATM inside but avoid the $2.50 fee and grab cash beforehand…read more Place is clean for a dive bar - which it is compared to Bud's and Dawsons on the same street.

We walked in and there was a dark haired woman and a short haired woman behind the bar. I said hello and they didn't even look at us!! The dark haired one walked by us two time's while we sat at the bar and didn't acknowledge us once!! Now if it had been busy in there then I wouldn't be writing this but there was literally six other people sitting there drinking!! We waited for about three minutes and said, let's go to Buds!!! You would think with a big event going on downtown they would be happy to see customers!!! One of the first things you should do when a customer walks thru the door is greet them with a simple hello or a smile!! We walked down the street to Buds and they were packed, standing room only but we were acknowledged with a smile and had drinks in our hands in about three minutes!!! Service at lukes 0, service at Buds 10+ my advice would be to hire new bartenders!!

First off the food was great, customer service terrible! I…read morehave a very stressful job and when I go out I like some customer service. They did not come around to the table very often which was ok till we were waiting for our check. My friend caught her eye and she said she'd be right back. Over 20 minutes later I went up to her at the register and said we need to get going. Her response was I gave your ticket to....and she stalled and , I responded with to who? She then said it that was table whatever. She basically accused me of having an attitude since I got there. We had separate checks since I'm in a company card and can't do alcohol in it. When she came back she handed us the wrong cards . Turns out, she did run the right meals on the right card but obviously my first thought was she didn't. I asked my friend if I was bitchy because I was really tired and was told I was not. Trust me, they wouldn't lie. I tried calling to talk to the manager and guess who it was? Yeah, don't bother

We had the short ribs as Chef's special and it was delicious and tender. You don't need a steak knife. We also got the Jambalaya pasta and the spice is just about right! Plenty protein in that plate. I'd say - there was even amount of pasta and protein so I would say it was worth your money. I like the place being casual and cozy. The idea of separating the bar from the dining area is good. Was nice that there is outdoor seating as well. Small city parking may be a challenge when it gets busy but who doesn't like to walk a little after hearty meal, huh? This would be nice place to bring good friends for a nice dinner or just a quick catch up afternoon liquid refreshments. They also have 4 tv at the bar area. Must be great during sports watching! Come by!!

Great ambience, great drinks,and most importantly, great service. This update is to once again highlight the service. We were greated and served by Ava today. Good employees are hard to find, and Ava was a dream. She kept the Wife and I great company at the bar. Along with wonderful conversation, she was extremely knowledgeable with the menu, and helped us order drinks when we couldn't decide. They all sound so delicious. While entertaining us, she also remained attentive to the other guests. She was by herself during our visit. Just another fabulous visit and we look forward to returning again....

The cocktails were genuinely…read moregood, the atmosphere has a lot of potential, and most of the staff were friendly, welcoming, and added to the fun tiki vibe. That said, our experience was noticeably impacted by the host. From the moment we walked in, interactions felt more focused on what we couldn't do rather than helping us feel comfortable or welcomed. I was initially told my dog wasn't allowed, which was later clarified when I explained he is a service animal, but subsequent interactions continued to feel corrective rather than hospitable. It stood out because every other staff member we interacted with was warm, social, and inviting, which made the contrast pretty stark. One practical note for future guests: if you order wine, plan to finish it there. They do not offer cork-and-carry, so splitting a bottle only really works if you're prepared to drink a good amount on-site. I'm rooting for this place and hope this feedback is helpful. With a small adjustment in front-of-house approach, this could easily be a fantastic addition to the local bar scene.

We were quickly served by the best server we've ever had at cattlemens. She was so friendly and genuine and helpful in choosing our food. She made our dining experience very enjoyable. Her name is Tara Olson. Please let her know that she was efficient and attentive..she also knew the menu. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal more so because of Tara. So..thank you Tara and thank you Cattlemens Dixon.

This is a 4 star restaurant with 5 stars for nostalgia and loyalty…read more I remember as a kid growing up in Fairfield and then Richmond,there was this special restaurant that had the biggest steaks ever and buffalo heads on the walls. Whenever we would go there,it was always a great happy dining experience and being in Dixon,it felt like a different world than the places in the Bay Area. As I grew up and moved to Sacramento area,the restaurant took on a much bigger meaning,it was my father's favorite spot to eat and it has always been the halfway point for my relatives who live in the bay and myself in Sacramento whenever we wanted to meet up for dinner. So yes I will always love Cattlemen's in Dixon for the memories alone. Let's talk about this particular recent visit. I made a reservation for a party of 9 at 6p. The parking at this location is plentiful as they have their own lot and even during its busiest times,there are always spaces available. When we arrived it was crazy busy and they told us it was going to be a bit for our table as they were running behind,so we headed to the bar to hang out and wait for our table. The wait ended up being over an hour after our reservation before we finally got our table. I was not thrilled at this but I was trying to make the best of a not perfect start to our dinner. The management and wait staff was very apologetic for the unexpected wait,which I appreciated. By the time we sat down we were ready to order immediately after having so much time to look at the menu while in the bar. In our family the most popular thing to order is the Original Steak Dinner for Two. We usually pair up with someone at the table and coordinate our order in that way. What that order gives you is a choice of 1 appetizer -Tumbleweed Onions -Artichoke Cheese Dip -Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail. On a night like tonight where we have multiple people ordering this,all the appetizers eventually get ordered and we kind of just share them all. Personally my favorite is the Artichoke Cheese Dip. Then for the Entree each of you get to choose one of the following -9 ounce Prime Rib -6 ounce Filet Mignon -Half Rack or Pork Ribs -14 ounce NY Strip Steak -Grilled Salmon -Steak and Shrimp Scampi My personal favorite here is always the 14 ounce NY Strip. And finally we get to pick one of 3 desserts. -Deep Fried Apple Pie -Cowpie Brownie Sundae -Pete's Pan Cookie My personal favorite is the Brownie Sundae but I'm usually so stuffed,I generally have to take my dessert home,so I almost always select the Deep Fried Apple Pie as it reheats the best at home. This order for two runs $84.99. I find it to be a pretty good value for all that you get. I failed to mention with this order we also get their yummy bread service,unlimited salad and also baked beans. Once the food arrived,it was all very enjoyable,I've always been a fan of their steaks and this visit was no different-very juicy and tasty and cooked to a perfect medium rare. The manager stepped up and comped all the appetizers on our bill to make up for the one-hour delay-their team is always so good at taking care of their customers. Overall,even with the rocky start,we had a very enjoyable dinner experience and look forward to the next time we are able to get out to Dixon to have some Cattlemen's again.
