Our favorite thing about New Cuyama was a million stars
through our moonroof. Though we were there because it fit our driving plans, we
went to the Buckhorn only because of the Independent's
Burger Week.
The Angus beef “SmashBurger” we had there on July 3 was, I
think, our fifth burger since June 26. We had picked non-beef ones until then,
which were all very, very good. How lucky we felt to end the week at the
Buckhorn! We bought their mac 'n' cheese, too, and added health foods, but the
basic burger ingredients were top-grade and the style unique.
We loved the Buckhorn's cloth napkins, the old-fashioned
cold water bottle on the table, the awesome, knotty pine, Wild West decor,
including a surprising headline, "OJ Not Guilty." The waitress and
hostess were both stand-out nice, and we even got 10 percent off our bill to
fill out a survey. The bathrooms are worth the trip.
