  Came here for brunch. (I have been here a few other times as well)
  I was a little nervous when we pulled into the parking lot, it looked a bit full. But much to our surprise we walked in, and there was only 1 other couple inside.
  Later I realized, or forgot really that they have a whole backyard area and there were some people out there.
  
  We ordered our food, I had a breakfast burrito, and my boyfriend had the Chicken Fried Steak. Let me tell you when these plates came out, my eyes were pretty wide. There was so much food. Neither of us could finish our meals. They were both on point, super delicious and lots of flavor.
  I had the other half of my burrito the next day for breakfast, and it warmed up nicely.
  
  I've always enjoyed this place, food is always on point, and the staff is really great. They have different deals each day on top of happy hour. Definitely check it out.

  When no one can decide, I drive the herd to a diner, or bar and grill. The menu at Bighorn Tavern looked promising, though the cozy space is a bit on the loud side when "the game" is on all TV's. I find it nigh impossible to not order Buffalo wings ($10) when available. These were meaty and crispy; just what I want. We were served both bleu cheese and ranch dressings, and the fiery wing sauce was plentiful and perfect.
  
  A single Scotch egg ($8) was hard-boiled, wrapped in spicy sausage and bread crumbs, deep fried and then served in halves, with a spicy horseradish mustard. Overall not bad, but I prefer a jellied, soft boil yolk, and mustard that isn't ice cold. We each got a little bite, then doubled-down with deviled eggs ($5.50). Sprinkled with bacon crumbles and paprika, the bacon-jalapeno filling was savory with just a hint of kick. There were plenty to go around.
  
  My grandson's fried chicken strips with an ample side of fruit ($6) looked good, but the meat was completely dry and difficult to chew. He wisely skipped it, ate the fruit, and a little bit of everything else on the table.
  
  We didn't detect bayou-inspired flavors on my son's otherwise enjoyable cajun burger ($15), though the half-pound patty was cooked to order and loaded up with bacon, bleu cheese, red onion, mixed greens, tomato, and housemade sweet pickle. A side of onion rings were so heavy with batter, I really couldn't taste the onion. Same story with his wife's plate of fish and chips ($14). Once you dug through a doughnut's worth of coating, the fish inside was actually flaky and moist. I found the cocktail and tartar sauces to be too sweet and fairly bland, respectively. The fries were a little overcooked, but definitely fresh-cut and better than something from a bag.
  
  My daughter loved her veggie burger ($13), a sweet potato and quinoa patty topped with provolone and veggies, with fries on the side. Her friend was less impressed with his tri-tip sandwich ($13.50), thick cuts of beef topped with grilled scallion, provolone, and chimichurri on a French roll. The meat was chewy and a bit dry, though seasoned well. His choice of steak fries turned out to be huge, immensely satisfying potato wedges, and easily the favorite side we sampled.
  
  Knowing she'd be late from work, my younger daughter asked me to order for her. I paired a banh mi ($13) with a side of chili for an extra couple bucks, because why not? The Vietnamese hoagie was surprisingly good, with chicken breast, spicy teriyaki, pickled carrot, radish, fresh jalapeno, and cilantro. Absolutely delicious. The black bean and hamburger chili was topped with red onion, sour cream, and jack cheese. I thought it was a little weak and watery, but she seemed fine with it.
  
  I was once again thwarted on my hunt for a "real" sandwich Cubano ($13.50), though not a bad sandwich on its own. Just don't call it a Cuban if I can't taste the skimpy ham or mustard, and employing sweet versus dill pickle is right out. The braised pork and melty Swiss cheese were tasty, but the bread was very oily. I let others finish it, focusing instead on a decent Caesar side salad with shaved parmesan. Our family dinner concluded with a molten chocolate cake, much to the delight of grandson and his mom.

  Another neighborhood bar / restaurant. Not my hood, but a friend's.
  
  Sunday mornings they offer a nice 2 for 1 mimosa and a good Bloody Mary. And several hearty breakfast choices for reasonable prices. Not fancy food, just good food. My chicken fried steak took up a good portion of the plate as it should, and came with potatoes, eggs and toast. I would have like more gravy on it. It was $14. The two eggs and bacon plate looked good with fruit. And the kale mixed greens salad was plenty big.
  
  Lunches and dinners the serve some decent sized burgers and a nice hot sandwich selection.
  
  One evening a week they play league DJ Triva.
  
  On Sunday morning parking was easy. Big Horn is in a small strip mall with a limited lot. Other times it can be a little crowded.

  There are so many things to love about this place! The ambience is fun and family friendly. It's nice to have a restaurant like this in this part of town because there aren't many non-chain places around. It's tucked away but has a decent amount of parking. Both times I've gone I have absolutely loved the food. I've had the shrimp po'boy which is my favorite dish to date and I also had the fish tacos which were huge! My friend had the meatloaf sandwich which she loved but the jalapeño cheese bread is a bit misleading because it's pretty minimal. The French rolls that most of the sandwiches are served on are delicious!
  
  What this place lacks right now is good service... both times I was in there it was not that busy but I felt that we were almost an inconvenience eating at the tables. We weren't sure if we were supposed to ask for our bill at the bar or pay at the bar but it kind of seems like the restaurant seating is secondary to the customers at the bar which is a bummer because the food is so good! It also is a seat yourself situation which could use a sign because it feels awkward.
  
  Overall I would highly recommend!

  Busy, friendly, casual bar serving local beers and upgraded dishes. Lots of parking. Bar seating and lots of tables. Fun wall decor.
  
  Got the chicken nachos, shareable! Wide pieces of meat in the tri-tip steak sandwich. The chili was a little like soup, but chock full of meat, bacon and beans. The heat warmth will build. The quinoa salad was a great mixture of kale, quinoa and avocado. Tasted like a light spicy Asian dressing. I could see in the kitchen the mature chef's head furiously working on our fresh made-to-order dishes. Danny was a great server, too.
