God created everything from nothing. But the nothingness really shows through at this place. Its a food truck but tries to be this really fancy restaurant. Its all outdoor seating with high end lawn furniture. All the food is $15/plate but served in dog dishes. The waiter took so long to find our table, I actually fell asleep while waiting. The waiter was either rude or drunk and gave me a dirty look when I asked to take the food to go. Then ontop of everything, they got my order wrong anyway. Its not even that they were particularly busy either. If you are looking for good food in this village, check out the pizza factory or the riverview tavern.....or anywhere else.

We stopped in the first night we arrived in Three Rivers & we were impressed with the food. The service like much of the town is kind of sleepy. If you need something, ask & it will be provided. Bug spray would be highly recommended. Great views of mountains & river. Live music multiple nights-- oh yeah we went back multiple nights because when in the grocery buying provisions we asked locals where else to go & they stated, "you cant beat OlBuckaroo!" The food is seasonal & fantastic - great spot we make fig grilled cheeses at home now because of this place!

First off, it is a food truck in disguise. The beef burger I tried was delicious but overpriced. Service was good. My only concern is they charge 18% gratuity after tax for every checks. That is kind of cheating since we should only tip on the value of goods, not on top of the tax. If they are charging gratuity for everyone and leaving us no other option, at least they should do it right. The girl who checked us out had a funky gratitude when I asked. Overall I would not recommend this place.

This is what food should really taste like. The flavors are fresh, with depth and are layered splendidly. DO NOT pass up the strawberry basil homemade soda. It is refreshing and so interesting. Be sure to order the sweet potato fries with chili salt (if you take someone with you make them order their own!). The lemon bars and Co de creme were AWESOME. The people are great the atmosphere is perfect. It is so worth the drive to Three Rivers

At almost 9 pm on a Sunday night in the middle of no where, this joint was completely unexpected and thoroughly enjoyable. They serve simple organic food with flavorful combos, plus a complementary wine list. This place is more like a beer garden with a fancy food truck. Service was friendly and music was lively. Eating in a garden setting with those strings of lights made our evening very enchanting. Highly recommended!

Really ideal for people that are looking for vegetarian options. Our à la carte options resulted in a mix of eclectic flavors. A perfect novelty with nice outdoor seating and scenic river views. Our server was super personable and quick to bring us everything we needed. Location was also perfect for us. Just steps away from our airbnb apartment. Loved the homey feel... an overall lovely experience.

Certainement le meilleur restaurant à Three Rivers. La viande et les ingrédients utilisés sont visiblement frais et ça fait toute la différence. Super service également, rapide et souriant.

Great locally-sourced ingredients prepared by a chef who takes his time and cares about what hes doing; served by a knowledgeable and personable staff with obvious experience in the biz. Delicious house-made desserts and a perfectly agreeable wine list; so much more than a food truck. Totally casual and comfortable. Well worth the drive up from the valley. Cant wait to return.

Food was a bit overpriced for the amount but I understand the ingredients are locally sourced and organic. That cheddar waffle has to be one of the best waffles Ive had but the fried chicken could have been crispier and everything could have used a good dash of salt. Sliders were juicy and had good flavor. Nothing special with the fries.

Attentive service, good music, lively but romantic environment. We ordered the 1. peanut slaw 2. roasted beet dish 3. parsnips and 4. Chickpea fritter sandwich. Everything was wonderful, but we decided the roasted beets on bread were our favorites. They have a kids meal. My daughter who is vegan had plenty of choices too.

A must stop if your passing by. This place is laid-back with a great atmosphere. The staff was very kind and attentive. They are dog friendly. The food was great! Sitting outside with a blanket (they provide) and a nice glass of wine or beer makes for a nice way to end the day.

You wouldnt expect excellent food from a food truck next to a tent, down by the river. But thats what you get. Burger was great, hoisin ribs over arugula was fantastic. Best food weve had in Theee Rivers (so much better than the Gateway). Service was also really good.

Jack Stratton

Good and innovative food. Nice place to eat overlooking the river. it is outdoor seating, so it may be problematic in bad weather, but in a town like three rivers it is really nice to see well done food that isnt the typical western fried steak and potatoes.

We were leaving Sequoia RV Park and needed breakfast. Google recommended Buckaroo and we are SO glad we took it! Amazing food and wonderful service! The staff couldnt have been nicer and more accomodating. We will definitely be back!

This is a delightful surprise on the road into Sequoia National Park. The food is imaginative and deliciously prepared. Fantastic location looking down on a gently rushing river. But the food! Do yourself a favor and dont miss it.

The service was great, but the menu was extremely limited. $14 for a burger that was completely bland is outrageous. I felt the price was set high only because the resturant options in the area were limited.

Love the high ceilings and the open atmosphere. The kids loved playing with the animals. Burgers were awesome and the beer tasty. Did not see an old buckaroo anywhere though, so mildly disappoint.

Ava Hawkinson

Tasty local and seasonal food that came quickly after ordered. Loved the chickpea fritters. Family had chicken sandwiches and farro salad. Outdoor seating has beautiful view.

Terrible service.. took 40 min just to get my check and waitress would leave while we were mid sentence.. short menu and nothing special for the prices that theyre asking
