Tucked in Three Rivers, California, at the base of Sequoia National Park, ol' Buckaroo blends local, scratch-made dishes with a scenic riverside setting for a classic Americana dining experience.
Established in July 2014, the ol' Buckaroo food truck found its roots on a picturesque spot alongside the Kaweah River. Fast forward to February 2017, and the realization of a dream came to fruition with the unveiling of The Buckaroo Diner – a timeless brick-and-mortar establishment housed in the original town saloon and tavern of the 1940s and 1950s.
Stepping into the Buckaroo Diner is a journey through time, where the interior echoes the essence of the surrounding area while paying homage to the rich history of Three Rivers. Our multi-roomed restaurant provides diverse dining experiences, from the comfort of the front climate-controlled dining room with its original glass bricks to the scenic sunroom overlooking the meandering river. For those who prefer the open air, our outdoor seating boasts modern picnic tables, accommodating gatherings of up to 60 patrons.
Experience the charm of a bygone era at ol’ Buckaroo, where the past and present seamlessly converge in a setting that captures the heart of Three Rivers. Owned by local families with deep roots in the area's rich history, our establishment proudly reflects the spirit and heritage of our beloved community.
