Opening The Doors

Kristi and Josh Olsen purchased the turnkey property and opened the doors Memorial Day weekend of 2020. In the first month, Josh met people from 20 different states - just to illustrate the driveby variety of costumes they receive on a regular basis.

The Buckhorn Bar is best known for its amazing food. Josh and Kristi smoke their own meats, make their own pickles, the sauces are all made inhouse with fresh ingredients, and go as far as cutting their own onion tanglers. On the menu you can find Prime Rib, Hand Carved Tenderloin, their popular Pulled Pork Nachos, House Smoked Baby Back Ribs, and let’s not forget that Wisconsin tradition - Friday Night Fish Fry.
