This review is long overdue. Buckboard BBQ catered a team dinner for Granite Hills Football. We hosted 95 people after practice and hands down this was one of the best experiences for the boys. The food was INCREDIBLE. The boys got seconds and thirds of all the options and the serving staff was phenomenal. Bonus Buckboard was generous enough to provide dinner for our boys at a cost we could afford. Thank you for the wonderful food and team dinner. We have frequented the restaurant many times since then and every dinner was amazing. El Cajon has a GEM in Buckboard BBQ.

If your on the edge about this place, jump off the cliff. Cause it's a place you can't take the chance to miss. Everything we ordered was on par or above expectation. The meet was tender and juicy beyond belief, we all fought over the corn bread, but the surprise of the night was how unbelievable their turkey was! We were blown away by the quality and the amazing work ethic that must have gone into cooking such flavourful food. Kudos to everyone in house. Yall are great at your craft and we appreciate you for it.Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian itemsDietary restrictions: They have allergen free items

We ordered the Buckboard Steak Burger and a side of Mac and cheese. The Mac was standard and the burger seemed kinda small and we had higher hopes for it. We got our order to go.
Parmesan truffle fries were great! House salad was okay, not impressed. The chicken entrees were okay the other adults said and burger was pretty good.Loaded queso nachos were delicious. The hostess and waitress were very nice.Lady manager was rude to my daughter in law when she asked about family discount. She didn't believe her and she had received discount before. The manager said that Arturo stated he didn't know her and he had come to our table before leaving. I think maybe Manager lied and she said she knew my daughter in laws father Martin Aguilar whom works there. I should have told manager to look at all the pictures we all had of Martin and his daughter that was sitting right there. Anyway, we won't be eating here again. Food not worth the expense. We didn't need discount anyway, but it was principle of the situation. .
