    This is the plate after eating the chili cheese dog. She saved something for the dishwasher to do

    The Buckhorn is nestled in the small town of North Fork. It's rustic inside and out and the moment you walk in you're greeted with a friendly welcome. We ordered lunch & we're immediately surprised by menu selection & prices. It was like stepping back in time where you could order just about anything you could want to eat for under $10.00! My daughter got the chili hot dog. I got a cheeseburger combo w/fries & rings & my husband got a BLT & side salad. The fixings arrive at our table in a 6 pack carton (smart)& food served hot. Cheeseburger wasn't huge but not small either, it was just the right size for me. The bun was warm, soft & lightly toasted & my first bite was tasty. Chili dog was served open faced on a toasted bun with fixings on the side for you to top for your liking. Chili was homemade & delicious & my daughter who usually finds an excuse to not eat all the bun cleaned her plate saying delicious & she'd definitely would order it again. I did manage to snag a small bite before she devoured it & chilli was very tasty and it would probably be worth it to order a bowl just by itself. My husband's BLT was a good size, stuffed well with fixings. His side salad had a good amount & variety of toppings on it making his lunch in his words "excellent". Although we've been there for drinks this was our first meal. Our friends always rave about breakfast but they were serving lunch but given the opportunity to get there in time for breakfast, I'm sure would be just as delicious as lunch! Surprisingly, for a bar, atmosphere is what you expect. The food was not what I expected. This IS a place to stop & try if you're in the area for a drink or meal. It's definitely on my return list!

    My grandfather often took me to the Buckhorn Saloon. Kids weren't allowed in the main room then; it was rough, full of lumberjacks and mill workers drinking their paycheck. The saloon stood on an old stagecoach hotel site, a gateway to the high Sierra. Sam Peckinpah, whose family the nearby mountain is named after, was a patron. Last week, my daughter went there with her grandpa. She likes the pancakes. Little has changed. The last two photos in this gallery, fifteen years apart, show this. If you're ever in North Fork, the exact center of California, you must stop by.

    Good , hearty burgers! If you've just returned from some backcountry backpacking and are in search of a good, satisfying place to eat your first meal back in town, the Buckhorn Saloon is a place you should seriously consider. There's a large, rustic bar/dining area for your group. The server on duty is friendly and helpful even with very hungry and thirsty (and stinky) hikers. The condiments were brought out early, so we were all ready to grab them when the grub arrived. My cheeseburger came with a generous slice of tomato and fresh, red onion slice and leafy lettuce on the side. The side of onion rings was piping hot and delicious. The bun held together and didn't flatten and mush down into oblivion. I was very satisfied with my meal. The server and kitchen staff had been about to close when we walked in during the last 5 minutes of their food service. I am thankful that they were kind enough to stay open a bit longer at the end of their weekend to serve food to four hungry backpackers far from home. It made the long car journeys home much more pleasant.

    This was suggested as a business meeting place and when I walked in, I fell in love!…read more I'm a huge lover of cozy local bars with a friendly vibe and robust tap list; the Bog House Pub has both of these attributes, times a million! They only serve beer, wine, and mead, but hard liquor folks do not worry... mead is essentially the hard liquor of the beer world, but tastes way better and at 20%, you'll drink way less! Their taps offer local beers and an array of imports from all over the world. I also learned that they are one of two bars in the entire Fresno/Clovis area that actually serves Guinness on tap! During my visit, the bartender suggested a something unique; a mixture of two different beers. I cannot remember their names for the life of me, but one was a peanut butter scout mixed with a purple-ish beer from house of Pendragon. All that to say, it tasted like a peanut butter and jelly and was delicious! Gracie, my bartender, was super friendly and very informed all the beers and wines they serve here. Who doesn't love a friendly and info field bartender?! If you haven't been here in a long time or are looking for a new place where you can belly up to the bar, the Bog House pub is it, cheers!

The staff is amazing, and you can truly feel how much they care about their customers. I had the chance to meet the owner and hear about some of the fun events they have planned, which made the experience even better. The hospitality really stands out here. Already looking forward to going back for karaoke night!

There was quite a long wait in line, and then another 50 or so minutes for the food, of which we were advised. I did appreciate the honesty. I believe the name of the server/bartender that took our order was Nick, and he was so kind and friendly. I ordered a couple of beers (Taco Truck lagers for my parents and a Half Dome Wheat for myself), two fish & chip plates and a BBQ Pulled Chicken sandwich plate for myself. As soon as I paid, my daughter asked me what she was going to drink. I felt so bad that I had forgotten to include a drink for her. I asked Nick to ring me up for a lemonade, and he was kind enough to offer it on the house. Since we had such a long wait, I figured I would enjoy the view outside while sipping my beer. Well, silly me set my glass on a bench and it fell over. I was so embarrassed! I went in ready to pay for another one with cash, but again, great hospitality and understanding on their behalf. He offered me a new glass. I appreciated that he didn't automatically judge and hopefully he didn't think I chugged it down, haha. When our food finally arrived, we sat down inside the dining hall to enjoy it with out beers. It's nice because they give you a number to place on your table and then they bring it out to you. I wish I had stopped in again the following 2 nights, but we had pizza 2 days in a row and beers from the market (that Half Dome Peach is so good!!). We did enjoy all of our food and wished we had ordered one more item. Next time! Thank you, again Nick and the rest of the team that works there. Your hospitality does not go unnoticed. Also, I'm making an assumption on the name based on the name on the receipt. I tried looking for him after our meal to thank him once more, and he was gone or on his break.

They added to the outside seating area it's like a garage with overhead doors with picnic style seating and dining seats, ceiling fans and big screen TV. You can also sit inside the restaurant to dine. We sat outside in the garage area we sat at a picnic table shared by a really nice couple. I had a bbq pork sandwich with French fries my mom had portobello sandwiches with fries and we shared a side of Brussel sprouts, the entire meal was delicious. The pork was so tender the sauce was amazing, the roll was perfect it was soft but not so soft where it fell apart. The fries were perfectly cooked. The Brussel sprouts were amazing, dried cranberries and pecans. The atmosphere was great, servers were very nice. Parking we parked right there near the restaurant. We will be going back again soon.

The staff was friendly even though they were quite busy. We ordered the Mother Lode burger, the pulled pork sandwich, and the garlic spiral rolls. First of all those garlic spiral rolls were huge and amazing. Like a large cinnamon roll, but savory and full of garlic and butter. My husband said his burger was one of the best he'd ever had. My pulled pork sandwich was huge and I had to remove some of the pork to be able to eat it (plenty for leftovers!). The fries were only so-so, but everything else was great! We will have to come back another time to try the desserts, which my husband was drooling over before we ate, but which we had no room for after eating dinner. We really enjoyed our dinner.
