   Everything about our dining experience was very satisfying. In particular, our server rememberedus and new what we ordered previously. I think that she has an eidetic memory.

   It was a very busy night with a fundraiser going on but somehow they LOST my OpenTable reservation for a party of 8. Then they promised a table for us later on in the night which never happened, kind leaving us with limited tables in the arcade/pool room. The waitress assigned to the area ignored a few from my group Including myself the majority of the night... Spent the first couple hours harassing the bartender for our drinks. It was very busy, so I understand not being able to get to everyone However 2 hours in and I still couldn't get service so I could order food. I asked the bartended but was told to wait for my server. The one girl that came in addition to our group took it upon herself to order my food since she's seems to be getting endless service from the red haired server. I really had to get in her face to order my partners meal as well. I've worked in the same setting, with a band and fundraiser going on - not once did we forget to serve anyone in our areas no matter how busy it was every patron gets served and not forgotten about. And How do you lose an online reservation ? I was there all night with my party and had I actually received service I would have spent way more than what I had, but that's your loss... We used to come to the Buck all the time, no wonder the building owners want these guys out. Can't make money if they ignore paying customers. Red haired waitress only had one order for me for her whole shift and that was $35 for a steak sandwich and an undeserved tip to motivate better service... We were there 6:30pm to roughly 1am. The steak didn't get ordered until over 2 hours in to our visit and I basically had to put myself in front of her to even get her to talk to me. The food that was ordered for me was the beef dip. I used to like the beef dip here but it was extremely bland, bread pretty plain and gummy. Summary: They Lost my reservation and ignored me all night. Food mediocre and unappealing. Looks bad.

   We honestly hated it. All 6 of us. Oh Hardly anyone was in the pub on a Saturday which should’ve been a sign right there. The waitress seemed like she didn’t wanna be there. The food was awful and not worth the prices that were charged. Never going back.

   3 of us had chicken strips/fries. The chicken was thin, dry and way over cooked and hard to chew. The sticky toffee pudding for dessert was the best part. Our waitress was good and very friendly.

   Have been to the buck many times. Quality and service has gone way down. Went for a birthday brunch. Had to send all of our food back. Cold and overdone This has happened last few visits. Either we had issues with the food or it was the service. Wont be back

    we had friends in from out of town and thought this would be a safe restaurant given who owns them, boy was I wrong. The food was terrible, three of the four dishes we ordered had to be remade. The chicken strips were burnt, A steak sandwich was not good, the first time they forgot to even toast, the garlic bread, and the biggest problem was that we had someone in our party who couldn’t have pork products on the burger they ordered so we asked them to remove the bacon when we ordered. They delivered it with bacon, we mentioned it to them and their initial solution was to take the bacon off the burger and deliver it right back to the table. I expected So much more from this restaurant, very disappointed. All I could do was apologize profusely to my out-of-town guests for how bad it was.
