I eventually was able to try the BIG prime Rib. It looked amazing. They only have it on Friday and Saturday. I was VERY disappointed. It was the most tough ..way undercooked prime Rib I have ever had. I believe in second chances.. will give it one more chance... but the liver and onions were amazing

I originally grew up in Cincinnati and Montgomery Inn was the place to go for Ribs. Buckhorn’s Ribs put Montgomery Inn to shame. The bread, salads and Ribs are all top notch and the value is unbelievable. The atmosphere is very quaint and the servers are very attentive. Truly a first class dining experience that you don’t see too much nowadays. Hidden gem in Dayton that a lot of people probably don’t know about!
A quaint local tavern with a fabulous atmosphere and underwhelming food. Both of our Prime Ribs ordered medium came rare to raw. The onion rings were oily. The grilled vegetables were flavorless. However, the bread, onion soup, and carrot cake saved the day. I've been told the Ribs are top-notch, so since I really want to like this place, I may come back to try them.
Stepping into Buckhorn Tavern feels like a warm embrace from an old friend. The ambiance is rustic yet inviting, with a touch of nostalgia that makes you feel right at home. The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the food. The cabbage rolls were a delightful surprise, perfectly seasoned and cooked to tender perfection. Accompanied by a side of corn and creamy mashed potatoes, each bite was a comforting nod to homestyle cooking.
To wash down the hearty meal, I opted for a pour of Woodford Reserve neat. The bourbon's smooth, rich flavor with hints of vanilla and caramel was the perfect companion to the savory dishes. And for a refreshing finish, the Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald beer, with its robust and roasty character, provided a satisfying end to an exceptional dining experience.
Buckhorn Tavern truly excels at delivering classic comfort food with a gourmet twist, all while making you feel like part of the family. A must-visit for anyone looking for a memorable meal in a cozy setting.
What a fun locally owned bar/restaurant! Dark wood, a central bar, and an old-fashioned vibe lend to the comfortable and relaxing atmosphere.
Server was super sweet and took good care of us despite the fact she was also bartending that evening.
Had a burger and soup, both of which were delicious. For anyone who likes Titos vodka, they carry it!
Had a great experience and would return!
Sadly we left before we were seated. When we arrived we were told there would be a 45 minute wait. We waited for an hour then I again checked with the waitress who said she could not give me an accurate time for when we could be seated. We decided to leave. Definitely not happy!
Thw Buckhorn is a forgotten gem. MEANING it is not a place in our mind to attend, but after the last visit the Buckhorn will definitely be in our favorite restaurant rotation. The food was amazing, the price was very reasonable. The portion size great.... Went there for prime Rib, but only sold on Friday and Saturday so chose something else that was equally amazing... its just an all around great experience. Can't wait to go back!
Service can be slow at times, but the overall quality of the food more than makes up for it. The service team is very attentive to the patrons needs and wants. The menu offers a wide variety of delicious meal choices. The fresh baked bread has an amazing flavor that keeps you wanting more. I plan to visit again soon and try another amazing meal from this fine establishment.
The last couple of years, the food has been hit or miss; never really know what you’re going to get night to night. But last night was the final straw and we won’t test our luck anymore. I get that prime rib is a fattier cut of meat, but that was a literal slab of fat and gristle. For a $75+ bill, I expect a little better.
