Disappointing SF Location vs. Vacaville
I usually go to the one in Vacaville, but since I was in the SF area, I decided to try the SF location for the first time. Unfortunately, I was disappointed; it was nothing compared to the one in Vacaville. The food quality is drastically lower. I ordered my usual, the Tri Tip Platter with Fries, and Tators (mashed potatoes) with gravy. The tators and gravy tasted like leftovers and lacked seasoning, whereas the Vacaville version tastes amazing. The fries were stale, and the meat was just okay – the only good part of my order. I rarely leave bad reviews, but this was a disappointing meal. I hope they reach the quality of their counterpart.

Impressive Modern BBQ Experience
I visited Buckhorn Grill for dinner one night after a conference and was truly impressed. The restaurant boasts a modern barbecue vibe with bold décor and visible open flames, creating an authentic and fresh atmosphere. Ordering was made easy with their digital menu boards, and the staff was both friendly and efficient. The food was excellent. My burger and fries were hot, flavorful, and satisfying, with the fries being crispy and not greasy, and the burger juicy with a soft bun. The salad with salmon and avocado was fresh and well-portioned, featuring generous toppings like blue cheese and crispy onions. The tri-tip platter was tender and smoky with a perfect char, complemented by the onion straws. They also offered tempting churros for dessert. The prices were fair for the quality and portions, especially considering the location. Overall, Buckhorn Grill delivered on taste, freshness, and atmosphere, making it a perfect casual spot to unwind. I would definitely return when in the area.

Incredible Burgers and Fries!
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! I had incredible burgers that were well-stuffed, delicious, and generous in portion. The sweet potato fries were also very good, and the drinks were equally succulent. The service and atmosphere were rated a perfect 5/5.

Delicious Tri Tip Sandwich Exceeds Expectations
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic, especially with the tri tip sandwich, which beat my expectations! The bread was perfectly toasted and buttered or oiled, and it came with many options. The horseradish was great. While the self-service computer took a bit of navigating, my friends managed to get a person to help them.

Expensive and Rude Service
My experience at this restaurant was marked by poor customer service. The cashier allowed another customer to cut in front of me and completely ignored my presence. Adding to the negative experience, the price is super expensive, and the food quality is only fair. If you're looking for an expensive, rude, and below-average food experience, this is the place to try.

Delicious Food and Great Service
I had a wonderful dining experience at Buckhorn Grill in Metreon. Both the tri-tip burger and the taco salad were delicious. The staff are friendly and provide excellent customer service.

Delicious Sandwich from Bread to Toppings
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic, primarily due to the sandwich. It was great all the way from the bread to the meat to the toppings. The food quality was excellent, and I highly recommend trying the Roadhouse.

Great Food, Poor Atmosphere
My experience was a mixed bag. I ordered the steakhouse burger, caesar salad, and a drink, and I was definitely filled. The food arrived fast. However, the atmosphere felt like a typical food court, with dim lights and hard chairs, which is not ideal. I did notice the cleaner working hard to keep the place tidy. Despite the food quality and service speed, the price of eating here is ridiculous.

Best Burgers in Town, Underrated Location
Hands down, this place serves one of the best burgers in the city. I believe their location might be the reason they aren't as widely known. This is genuinely one of the best burgers I’ve had in the city. The food, service, and atmosphere all received a perfect 5/5 rating.
