Buckhorn Grill — Restaurant in San Francisco

I asked for a menu with nutritional information, but was told that they did not have one. I checked the website it was not available there either. I ordered a Caesar salad with Tri-Tip, and estimated the nutritional information. The meat was shaved and had little texture or flavor. The salad was over dressed. Later that day, I called the corporate office and left a voicemail message but the call has not been returned in the last two weeks.

In San Francisco, employers are required to contribute to Healthy SF, a form of localized health care if the employer does not provide health insurance. Rather than increasing their prices, Buckhorn passes this expense as a service fee. This is a deceptive practice to keep their food prices lower. This practice would be okay, if they stopped charging the service fee once they collected enough money to cover the cost of the program for that month. I have to assume that any excess goes into their pocket rather than as a donation to the program. It is quite possible that as a franchise, this helps reduce their royalties to Buckhorn's corporation treating a legitimate company expense more like a tax than the cost of doing business. Regardless, it is deceptive to the customer even if they have a small sign noting the service fee, and reflects that they probably do not provide health insurance for...

I stopped here for dinner one night after a conference and was really impressed. The atmosphere has a modern barbecue vibe with bold décor and open flames visible from the counter, which made it feel authentic and fresh. Ordering was simple with their digital menu boards, and the staff was friendly and efficient.

The food was great. I had a burger and fries, which were hot, flavorful, and satisfying. The fries were crispy and not greasy, and the burger was juicy with a soft bun. The salad with salmon and avocado was fresh and well-portioned, with plenty of toppings like blue cheese and crispy onions. The tri-tip platter was tender and smoky with just the right char, paired nicely with the onion straws.

They also had churros on the menu, which looked tempting for dessert. Prices were fair for the quality and portions, especially considering the location.

Overall, Buckhorn Grill delivered on taste, freshness, and atmosphere. It was a perfect casual spot to unwind after a long day, and I’d definitely come back when I’m...

I ordered my food as usual, I ordered the Cesar pleaser and I added a couple extra ounces of beef. I asked for medium rare cuts. After I paid, I noticed the cashier trying really hard to see the tip screen. I did not too. I believe you earn a tip from the service I give. I sat down and waited. Soon after I noticed the staff passing around a receipt which had to be mine because I was the only order. My order did not seem complicated to me. Anyhow, buzzer rang and the lady served mg plate across the counter with the dirtiest look on her face. She continued to scowl at me as I inspected my super well done cuts (I ordered medium rare) and my Cesar had no cheese or croutons in it. I didn't complain, I just ate my food as she continued to smirk and scowl while I ate it. That was the worst buckhorn experience I ever had. I will never visit that particular buckhorn. Furthermore, people should not be expected to tip before being served, it defeats the purpose of...
