    Pizza not prepared well
    Jeff C.

    How can an establishment go from making one of the best pizza you've had to one not even close? Not busy and was very specific, well done, not a lot of cheese, some sauce. Soft ,greasy ,cheesy barely cooked. And $4 for a 16 oz draft ? Not open Sundays and Mondays. Unfortunately you can't stay open with only a few employees that care. Pay attention to what your customers ask for. It's not that hard when there are only 6 people in the building. Miss the good pizzas from years ago. Miggt get one out of ten. And $11 for a small 2 topping.pizza is a joke.

    Premade pizza crusts. Everything is frozen and deep fried. Nothing seemed to be homemade.

The staff for the most part, look as if they came to work in either last nights clothes or pajama bottoms. Since when are sandals ok to work in the restaurant industry? The girls with long hair, while it's pretty, that still doesn't mean I want to see them scratching their head or playing with their hair. Whatever happened to having it pulled back. Is that not a health code thing anymore? And speaking of that, when did it become acceptable for a server to have two filled drink cups tucked in her arm while holding the other 2 in her hands. No trays maybe? Gross. I don't want her hair in my drink! I guess I'm just old fashioned and like to feel comfortable that my food and drink are being handled with a little more respect. I guess I kind of feel like if the front of the house is that sloppy..... what's the back of the house like?

Both were really good. The sides are delicious. The green beans were salty and savory and mouth watering the garlic mashed potatoes with the brisket gravy were amazing. Too stuffed to order desserts but they sounded good. We will be back for sure.

    Stopped in here recently based on the review that's posted. This place is sort of like the fast…read morefood version of BBQ. Everything seems to be pre cooked, so when you order its ready to serve. I had a simple meal of a pulled pork sandwich and mac & cheese. The sandwich was ok, but the meat itself didn't have a ton of flavor. I had to eat it with a fork because it was soaked in sauce, which tasted ok. The mac & cheese was fair. Lots of styrofoam used, but they don't recycle, so they're generating a lot of trash that doesn't have to be trash. I don't plan on going back. There are too many other options to check out.

    On food alone, this place deserves four stars. The pulled pork and chicken were moist, with sweet…read moresmokiness that was just right, not "in your face." My husband and I both got the spicy sauce, which had a slowly evolving sweet heat; you could see red pepper flake in it. My son enjoyed the mild sauce, which he has declared "amazing." We had mac n cheese and collard greens for our sides. While the mac n cheese was good, I am one of those oddballs who doesn't like Velveeta in hers, so I'd have preferred a slightly different recipe. The collards, however, were delicious, with a spicy acidity that tasted like pepper vinegar. I could have eaten an entire bowl full of just the greens. I ate my chicken sandwich with a fork, because the bun quickly soaked through. It was really tasty. Our only issues had to do with the restaurant itself. First, it was unreasonably hot in the dining room, so I can only imagine it is sheer Hell in the kitchen. Though there were fans running along the floor, you couldn't pay me enough to work in that sauna. Nevertheless, our service was helpful, friendly, fast, and courteous, and both ladies behind the counter were extremely polite and professional. I'd love it if management could make sure they had a comfortable place to work when it's hot outside. Though the ladies' restroom was clean, my husband said the men's room had some toilet paper in the floor and could have stood a good, thorough cleaning. Lastly, though we were there during lunch (approximately 12:30) on a Saturday, they had already run out of their sausage, which indicates a potential problem in managing inventory and/or anticipating demand. At lunch time, you shouldn't be running low on anything. Also, despite signage that indicated the restaurant offers tea, none was available at the time of our visit. The food quality alone will bring me back (especially since you do online orders and catering), but dining in just wasn't the best part of the experience today. Hopefully, with some minor adjustments, that will improve. You've got hardworking, courteous staff, so try not to melt them.

    Buckhorn is a local staple in the Little York area of Dayton. Nestled in an upscale wooded…read moreneighborhood, it's a favorite spot for motorcycle riders and locals alike. It is dark inside with wood paneling and stained glass lamps. An antler light gives the down home vibe. Service was fairly slow but friendly which is to be expected here especially on a busy weekend. I ordered the 10oz filet medium which came out medium well. I actually didn't mind because I also like medium well, however I read another review that said the same. It was juicy and tender. The potatoes were pretty dry and the vegetables were good just sliced a little thin. Overall I give it four stars because it was still a solid decent meal. Very friendly and attentive service.

But having not lived in the area for more than forty years, even though we visit family here periodically, I had not been to Buckhorn in quite some time. It obviously does a lot of things right as, from what I can tell, it's been around since 1943. It's reputation when I was growing up was already well-solidified as it had been doing what it does for 30-plus years by that time. Now that it is over 80 years in business amd working toward the century mark in the not-too-distant future, I was reminded from this visit why it is enduring. Its appeal starts with the timelessly homey ambiance. It goes for a rustic theme, something like what I remember where we often ate when traveling through parts of the American West with my parents as a kid. The exterior certainly presents as a vintage off-the-beaten-path eatery. When you walk in, you can see that they pull off the rustic vibe pretty well. The wood paneling and attractive bar area give a saloon-cum-supper-club-style feel which is topped off with the deer-antler chandelier to connote rusticity. But in the bigger picture, the point is that they present a very comfortable atmosphere in which to enjoy a meal. Their second, less obvious key to endurance, in my opinion, is the location. It's not close to anything but the homes of those who like living a little out of the way amongst the woods. That's tricky because it ostensibly limits the addressable market. It means that a place like this has to be a destination itself and largely rely on reputation and a loyal customer base, because they won't get much in the way of synergistic, passer-by business. But this means they have achieved something sustainable of that sort which provides a degree of insulation from factors beyond their control. That probably would not work well today unless you have a lot of capital and a lot of patience. The startup costs and the extensive runway required would likely not make a place like this appealing to most investors who want to see piles of money from their inputs much quicker. That's a shame, but the character that only comes with time makes a place like this even more interesting and enjoyable. It certainly adds to, and indeed is what is largely responsible for, its throwback persona. I had read reviews for this establishment that suggested that the service is a little choppy. During our visit, however, we saw no issues. There were three in our party and we were there on a moderately busy Thursday night. We were seated right away and our server Lou-Ann did a very good job of taking care of us. The food took a tad long to come out, but not beyond reason. In effect, the service was solid and we had no real complaints. Their menu reflected the vibe they have maintained for decades. It is a classic Midwest American collection of offerings designed to resonate with their fans. They specialize in Burgers and other traditional favorites that appeal to Midwestern tastes. The bread basket at the beginning was a nice starting touch. Between the three of us for our mains, we tried the Beef Hot Shot, the 10 oz. Sirloin with Cowboy Butter and the Turkey Avocado Salad (which may have been one of the more adventurous choices). The salad was mine and I supplemented it with a cup of Chili. It was all great. My sister-in-law said she had forgotten how good hot shots were. My wife enjoyed her steak and had some to take home. My chili was excellent and I could easily see how a bowl of it could be a meal. The salad was also very tasty and satisfying. The fare gets a solid A-grade from us. The value here is still pretty decent for what it is. With food, drinks, tax and tip, our bill was $80. At just shy of $27 per person, that's a reasonable value these days. It is good to see that this place still lives up to its legacy. It's a 4.5 to 5-star place for me. I'll hope to return for another meal soon.
