Cuyama Buckhorn

We only ate at the restaurant as a stop while we were on a 200 mile round trip. Motorcycle bike ride. Great. Easy place to stop refill with some food and a wide selection of beers. People were awesome. Place was very clean. Definitely look like you could host a wedding here as a venue. Cute outdoors. Fun activities in their courtyard. Just wish we had showed up later when the bar was open..

The Cuyama Buckhorn is now easily one of my favorite short trips outside LA. The hotel is truly one of a kind and every aspect from the rooms to the welcome area to the restaurant is so well thought out and comfortable. The aesthetic feels like stepping back in time while offering all the modern amenities of a 5 star resort. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful and provided world class service. We had an absolutely bangin 2 meals while we were there. I cant wait to plan another trip back.

The Buckhorn is a true respite for the weary plains traveler. We experienced a kind of pure hospitality throughout our stay that is rare to find. Vanessa, Carissa, Melissa, and of course the inimitable Sam made us feel welcome, at ease, and offered insightful recommendations to fully enjoy Cuyama. It is clear that the owners of this establishment have deep roots in the surrounding community and are dedicated to uplifting artisans, farmers, and local institutions through their business. I would recommend the Buckhorn to anyone traveling up the 33 or in search of true western hospitality.

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:))

Surprisingly pleasant 'roadhouse' with friendly staff so worth a dropi-in for a coffee and snack. The 'saloon' bar looks amazing but unfortunately we didn't have time for a drink. Maybe next time.

Great place to eat the food was really good we were on are way home to Santa maria and decided to stop and eat it I had tri tip dip was really good and the with had chicken that she said was good as well will be eat there again as we drive through

Awesome experience here. Very secluded. Came alone during COVID as a getaway. Enjoyed the pool and whiskey bar! I’m going to be back soon with a friend for a romantic weekend!

We loved our stay here! Comfortable rooms, chill non pretentious, relaxing.

Highly recommend booking a local activity or two when visiting (a farm tour, horse back riding etc) to help experience the region.

Awesome service and good food. Has been remodeled and is beautiful. Didn't stay at hotel but saw pictures of the rooms. Really nice.

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.

Just stopped to have a cocktail and check out the place. Super cool place. Definitely will be staying there soon.

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

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 😍

Grabbed a cup of coffee and used the restroom. The gal at the front was so kind. Her laugh was contagious!
Clean restrooms. We even bought a coffee mug !

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.

Great road side stop for food and cocktails. The pool looked nice!

One of the best out of the way places I've been to in my life. You have to try this if you like Western Americana. Everything is locally sourced. Cooked by the Iceland chef. Definitely recommend their coffees pies and the avocado toast is actually not a rip-off .. Really good

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.
