Ambience is old school. Food is great. Service is good. Classic Dayton restaurant. Worth the trip north of town.

The Buckhorn has always been one of our favorite places to eat until Covid hit and we did carry out, it definitely was not that great. We decided to give them another try last night for carryout and was blown away. It was Delicious, we had ribs, seafood bandit and pecan chicken and the prices are amazing for a great meal. I know with the loss of previous owners (so sorry for the family), it would possibly be different But believe me it was just as outstanding as it's always been. Thank you for another amazing Buckhorn meal!!

This was our first time eating here and oh my goodness. The food was phenomenal! I ordered a 6 oz filet and my husband ordered a 12oz ribeye. It took a little while to come out but the bread was so yummy to munch on. The steaks came out and they both were over done. Barbara, our waitress, scooped them up and said I'm gonna have this fixed. Let me tell you, it was worth the wait!! She brought us some fried apples on the house and they were delicious!! Thank you Barbara for such a great experience! Highly recommend this place!!

Loved this place! We bellied up to the bar for dinner one weekday night and loved the whole experience. The interior of the bar felt a little like Cheers. I personally loved the vinyl bar top, dark interior and classic design. The menu had a lot of great classics like cabbage rolls, liver, seafood and - my personal favorite - a whole page devoted to steak! Ordered the 10 oz. filet and was really pleased with the quality of the meat. Medium rare cooked perfect. Food was hot and high quality. Portions large! Service was top-notch! The bartender was attentive, prompt and thorough. We loved chatting with her and learning about the area. Sinatra dirty blue martini was fantastic! Overall, this place had a rustic, nostalgic vibe that's hard to replicate. This has a classic supper club feeling that's unique and quite special. Would definitely dine here again!

Perhaps our favorite dining experience in the Great Smoky Mountain. Important to know that Buckhorn Tavern is a B and B which provides a curated dinner menu. I always wear a dining jacket and tie; although not required. Great place for date night with your wife or for a couple's group. Do check website for curated dinner menu.
