We returned this past weekend to move our Ole into the dorms and had to return to Tanzenwald with our whole family. Again, we were delighted by all the same things as before. The Brussels sprouts are the best ever, the Reuben fries, the Ahi tacos, and the fried cheese curds made everyone in our party happy. The beer was perfect-it was maybe called Trivial Pursuit (something like that). Yum. We might actually go one more time before we head back to CA.

Everything was cooked perfectly and was better than what I had expected. The service was alright. We went in mid-day and there were 4 people behind the bar. 1 person (our server) seemed to be the only one running around to all the tables, and pouring all the beers. We had asked for our bill and waited an additional 20 mins as our server seemed to be behind the pouring of beer... yet the other stood around and conversed. That was the only area of improvement. We'd go back and give it a shot though!

We were planning on staying longer but we're brought our bill and our plates kept getting taken away while there was food still on it. Usually servers will at least ask if we are done eating, would like to order anything else or would like some boxes. Felt like we ending up being rushed out or weren't welcome anymore ..which was a bummer for such a good night with fantastic food and drinks.

Driven by numerous times, never thought much about it. Saw an add for their Monday "Burger Night"…read moreand decided to give it a try. Service off the bat was great!! There was a small hiccup in our order but it was remedied right away with much apologies (definitely didn't need it, but was appreciated). Atmosphere of the place was very quaint, relaxed, and more on the "upscale" side. And it's not a formal wear place... but walking in with my baseball cap, lawn mowing shirt, gym shorts and sandals... I was definitely under dressed. Most people had over clothing, typically collared shirts, summer dresses and whatnot... which I have no problem doing... I just figured with the add of "burger night"... I was expecting more of a Bar & Grill vibe. However, learning the proper atmosphere has prompted this place to be more of a laid back date night for the wife and I. It was very nice and we will be returning.

When sitting outside the little "no-see-em gnats" can be terrible! But, they outdoors area is really nice to sit on. The service really depends on the day and how busy they are. They're a couple gals we've had, and a guy. The guy is always super friendly and super attentive! There is a gal that's a server who is usually really good, but sometime if it's super busy you can see the frustration as she's the only one for the whole dining area... and I can completely understand. It is around $20 per person for food and drink which is on the higher end for "bar food". However, it is some of the better bar food out there. Dawn's is one of the places I enjoy going with family or friends.

I still recommend getting it over hashbrowns, over-easy eggs, but this time I did hollandaise sauce and that was actually pretty good. I need to make a correction for my previous review because I feel bad. Buckboard does not charge a credit card processing fee. For some reason, I thought that I was charged one earlier in the week. So why is this still four stars? Well...this time the service/staff was less than ideal. When I called to place my order on the phone, the lady sounded very annoyed. Like the entire time I was placing my order - I felt uncomfortable and like I shouldn't be calling. When I got inside the restaurant to pick up my order, I'm 99% sure it was the same lady that took my phone order. She again seemed very annoyed and I felt very uncomfortable for being there. Like I had done something wrong. This time I also wasn't offered any jellies or hot sauce. I didn't feel like I should just ask because...I don't know, maybe those aren't supposed to be given out for free and it was just a nice thing the staff did for me earlier in the week? But I really missed having some strawberry jam with my toast. One thing I love about the toast when you get it to-go, they wrap it in a separately to keep it from getting soggy. I really liked this. Overall, I'm really sorry I made a mistake in my previous review about the credit card processing fee. I wish the service would've been better this time and from other reviews, it seems like it's definitely mixed. I still recommend giving Buckboard a shot, but don't go into a thinking it's going to be the best restaurant in the world. I really appreciate that ownership is looking at reviews!

There were flowers, and a few signs, but overall, I would seriously recommend going here, especially during breakfast.

It was perfect. I did get the au gratin potatoes. These were great and actually cut in small squares which were easier to eat then the traditional thick round circles. The garlic bread was really great and not greasy with too much garlic. This place is definitely worth the little trip out into the country.
