The Best Sacramento Restaurants
"The Buckhorn name is practically synonymous with high-quality meat in the Sacramento area, thanks in no small part to the restaurant group’s more casual restaurants, Buckhorn Grill and Buckhorn BBQ. But the flagship Buckhorn Steakhouse is legendary, having helped put Winters on the map as a destination for fans of hand-butchered steaks and blackened tri-tip. The menu is paired down from its pre-pandemic glory but staples including certified Angus rib-eye and garlic mashed potatoes remain up for grabs.

"This is where you’ll find the ‘quiet’ side of the Sacramento River. If you’re looking to take in the river and city views of Old Town and the Sacramento bridges from a less trafficked spot, walk through the River Walk Park and along the trail.

9 Very Best Things To Do In Sacramento
"Another Midtown gem, Sutter’s Fort State Historic Park is the oldest (somewhat restored) fort in all the US. Long ago, the fort once played a key role in agriculture, trade, and European settlement in the Central Valley. But when an employee found gold in the parameters of the property, the fort was soon abandoned."

This was a bustling fort until a worker, James Marshall, made an incredible discovery. While the fort was ditched as people tried to make their own fortune, today, it’s restored and beautiful."
