The only restaurant for thirty miles in any direction, this is no ordinary diner. Cowhide booths and panoramic views of the Caliente mountains provide the perfect backdrop to enjoy a locally-inspired meal and watch the world go by.
Our menus feature distinctly Cuyama dishes and celebrate the valley’s agricultural roots. Whether you are starting your day with a biscuit with honey butter and a local ranch’s eggs, or taking an evening break from the road with some perfectly-smoked barbecue, each plate becomes a window into the soul of the valley.



“We ended the evening at the Buckhorn’s bar-restaurant, a woodsy den of taxidermy where the kitchen dazzled us with a meal featuring produce from local farms and a tomahawk steak of epic proportions.”
