Cuyama Buckhorn
Restaurant
👍 Employees are super nice!
Food is good. Prices are high and serving size is not super generous, making for lower value. Fun place though. We frequent the Buckhorn on our drive from the coast to Bakersfield. Love that its there!!
We haven't stayed over yet, hope to one day!

Magnolia Shopping Center
Shopping mall
👍👍 This is a large shopping center to the southern side of highway 101. Ralphs, which is part of Kroger, is here, so this may be a convenient choice for those students who live in the east part of Goleta and who do not have their own cars to purchase groceries.
