Had a late lunch here with our family of four. We got there after 2pm. Brunch ends at 3pm then they serve dinner at the bar and dining area. Friendly staff. Nice place in the middle of nowhere. We didn't know it was also a hotel with a pool.We asked to have them clean the booth at the end since I didn't want to bother anyone else with my coughing.My husband and I ordered the pulled pork with slaw, brioche buns, and choice of Memphis or Carolina BBQ sauce. We chose Memphis and it was good! We ordered the side salad with vinaigrette which was refreshing. The boys had chicken tenders and fries and pancakes. They both gave two thumbs up. A little pricey for two pancakes at $15.This is a great place to stop for good eats (farm to table) if you're passing through.

We popped in for lunch and the restroom. Lunch was very tasty and the restroom was very nice but it took us a long time to pay our bill when the place wasn't even busy. Saying that there was only one friendly woman waiting tables during lunch hours that day so I do have sympathy. Beware the gift shop area unless you are rich- many items don't have prices which of course means $$$

We had the most magical stay at Cuyama Buckhorn so glad we went out of our way to check it out! We ate dinner and breakfast at the restaurant and could not say enough good things. Would absolutely double back for the tri-tip and XXL salad. The staff was amazingly accommodating for our kids, who enjoyed the gorgeous grounds as much as we did. Will definitely be back!!

GREAT get away me/we time location. The f food is so f good, I m in love. The patty melt on marbled rye was so intensely good that I ended ordering it for dinner and then also lunch ! The fries with blue cheese dressing and some fruit salad were are faves. The mahi tacos were incredibly fresh but the TORTILLAS are what TRULY blew my skirt UP ! The bartender was so sweet and she made us bomb cocktails, thank you! The apple pie and blueberry were pretty good as well:))Rooms: They are cute little bungalows, feeling like your own house and balcony. Lots of fun games to play and the staff are always helpful when you need them the waitresses are super. We got to meet one of the owners once, what a fantasy mirage come true! It s hip af here.Food & drinks: I cannot because it will make me crave it more than I already do , sorry!!!

Worst, toughest tri tip we have ever had. Had to pull the meat apart! Service ok. Ate in the bar. Very, very nice bartender. Knowledgeable about the area. Helpful. Probably could make any kind of drink asked for. Made our visit enjoyable.

I had to give this place an instant 5 stars. Though I didn't eat here or get a drink. On my way back to the Antelope Valley, this ended up being the only place insight with a bathroom from Santa Maria to Lancaster. I am so greatful to the owner/manager for allowing to utilize the restroom. Upon enter the facility though I just want everyone to know it looks like a wonderful place to grab a drink, get some r & r, and enjoy the scenery. I highly encourage other to make this a destination location on their travels.

Restaurant review: charming, thoughtful, and full of character, but the food labeling is pretentious and often incorrect. The mahi tacos weren t mahi (but they were a perfectly tasty if somewhat tough white fish). The veggie tacos, which the waitress said had whatever was at the farmers market this week (which is a red flag this is hard for any restaurant to do!) had pre-cut carrots, brocc, and cauli, which isn t a trio you d see picked together in California in the spring. The techapi rye biscuit was tasty it very salty, but I couldn t tell that there was rye (or any unrefined) flour in there at all. The salad was great! The servers couldn t be kinder and were very accommodating.

I loved my stay here!! I came for the super bloom (to visit Carrizo Plains) at the end of April 2023 and it was simply wonderful!! First off, they had a s mores kit waiting for you on the bed (there are fire pits everywhere!). I have every intention of returning on a new moon night (hopefully, after the rains) in hopes of viewing the Milky Way

5 stars. I wasn't expecting much but the ranch/country themed restaurant turned out to be pretty nice, upscale. I would come again.

Employees are super nice!Food is good. Prices are high and serving size is not super generous, making for lower value. Fun place though. We frequent the Buckhorn on our drive from the coast to Bakersfield. Love that its there!!We haven't stayed over yet, hope to one day!

This is a gem. Located just outside Carrizo Plain National Monument, it makes for a fabulous jumping off spot for adventuring. It is upscale cowboy done really well. The rooms are quiet and private, nicely appointed, and dog friendly. The bar is an adventure all its own -- really delicious and unique bar menu, curated by Sam, mixologist extraordinaire. The food is quite good, with some house smoked specialties that are not to be missed. Everything is pretty spendy, so be prepared to drop some significant cash. But so worth it! Highly recommended.

It s important to know that this hotel is just as important of a destination as what you re heading to heading to; a.k.a. Carissa Plains

We ate lunch here while camping in New Cuyama. We had two small dogs with us and they were very welcoming for all of us on the patio. The menu is limited but it's very fresh, local, and farm to table. I had the best pulled pork sandwich I've found in California and a very satisfying meal. There's only two restaurants in New Cuyama, but the Buckhorn is definitely worth a visit if you're passing through the area.

Not impressed with Cuyama Buckhorn I lived in New Cuyama all my life what they call new and improved have your bank ready to spend a lot of money

Service was good as was the food. The place was clean. We stopped for lunch. I had a turkey wrap, our friend had an egg salad sandwich and my husband had a pulled pork sandwich. I loved my wrap and my friend said her egg salad was wonderful. My husband wasn't as pleased with the pulled pork because it wasn't just pork and sauce but had other additions in it. He liked it well enough to not complain. The fried potatoes are homemade and great tasting. Only complaint I had was a pesky fly.

Excellent food! If you are driving 166 or looking for a place to fly-in for the $100 burger ($200?), this is it. The burger and beef are excellent quality. Well worth the trip to try this menu. It s one of those places that is casual, but the food experience exceeds the easy going nature of the premises. Outdoor seating, indoor dining and bar. Friendly staff. All of it creates a great place to stop and eat.
