    Great staff and the food was excellent! Beautiful location that is set right outside of Waunakee! If you’re looking for a restaurant that offers a variety of options for food and drinks this place is a must! Will be back again soon!

    Buck & Honey's Waunakee is one of only 2 non-bar/brewery eateries in Waunakee. The menu while not very large provides a fair selection of steaks, seafood, and other options. The quality of the food seems to vary by the visit but in general has been good with the possible exception of undercooking the vegetables. Their wine selection seems to be a mystery to the management. Sometimes in stock, often not, so making choices from the wine list may end in disappointment. The weakest part of the experience is the NOISE! It can be deafening, particularly when they are very busy making conversation with your dining party extremely difficult if not impossible.

    Food was good and service was great! We like this location because the ambiance is the best of all the locations. The dining room is more spacious than the other locations so you don't feel like you are sitting on top of each other.
