    We were there on Mother's Day with my elderly mother-in-law. We love Buck & Honeys, the food, the atmosphere and the service. There is one reason why I hesitate to return and that is because the live music was too loud. I liked the music genre but the level of the sound made it difficult to visit comfortably. Background music is fine, but remember it's not supposed to be a concert.

    The food was amazing. The service phenomenal. And the ambiance was exactly what we expected. I had the Thai pizza and it was delicious, fresh, with just enough spice to say Hello. My son had the the Chipotle Chicken Pasta and he hollowed out his leg to be able to finish it all. My buddy had the Jambalaya and said it was some of the best he’s had. The truly fantastic young lady that was our server made the whole experience even better with her wit, charm and perfect recommendations. We will be back!!

    Girls night out … staff was exceptionally friendly and very attentive…crab cakes were fantastic…soup and Caesar salad was great …. Cream of chicken and asparagus soup delicious and very flavorful…Caesar side salad had very crispy romaine, was lightly dressed and had light, crunchy croutons and just the right amount of grated Parmesan cheese

    The food was good. I did asked for crispy potatoes they were not. I asked for med rare it was rare. For 2 it was $200 with tip, 2 steaks & 3 drinks is a bit high for todays standard. I still will come back often.

    Easter Brunch Review: I won’t be going back to Buck & Honey’s brunch again. The food was mediocre at best and not worth the money. Was it terrible? No. Was it good? Also no. I should not have been surprised as I have never had a great meal at any of the Buck & Honey restaurants. It’s always edible but lackluster. Brunch was exactly that.

    Absolutely fantastic! We went expecting elevated bar food and were thrilled to find the most amazing, high-quality offerings. The clam chowder was unique and delicious, as were the meatloaf with roasted Brussel sprouts. We were greeted in a friendly, professional way, and our server Gretchen was phenomenal. This is a 5-star experience in every respect and at a very reasonable price.

    We had a very nice get together with friends to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Reservations were easy to make in open table and our table was ready when we arrived. The service was a little slow, but we didn’t mind as the conversation was good. The food was good, but not sure it supported the high price. Overall a very good experience.

    Fish fry was great but the cheesy hash browns were way too salty. Could not eat them. Waiter was excellent and she did a wonderful job considering how busy she was. We all had a great time and will be back again and again.

    We will be submitting a private message to this establishment at the end of this review. We are only writing this here because it would not allow us to submit the review without an entry in this section. The appetizers were delicious (shrimp/cheese curds), but two of our five entrees had beef that was surprisingly chewy & tough (in the stroganoff as well as the filet mignon), and the brussel sprouts in the veggie dish were blackened to the point of having a very strong charred flavor, but the smashed cauliflower was excellent.

    Dined on St. Patrick's Day and had the corned beef and cabbage. The beef was tender and tasty with just the right flavor, and the sides were excellent. My wife had the salmon and raved on it and the mushroom risoto.
