    I had been to Bucks Bar before (the one on W Regent St) and really enjoyed it, however this last time wasn't great. The staff individually were good, but the overall service was very poor. We had a group of 9 of us, needing us to be split across two booths (the girl on the phone was very accomodating on this), but the second table was still occupied for 20 mins beyond our booking time. This left several people standing at the bar waiting to be seated for quite a while. Food was good, but it was served two dishes at a time with a long wait (15-20 mins) in between, instead of served all at once. This might have been down to the kitchen thinking that both tables were separate from each other, but it did make for an awkward meal. For a time the restaurant was fairly empty, and a couple of the guests were especially frustrated at seeing so many UberEats meals coming out of the kitchen while they were waiting and the others were already served. The decor inside was cool, but does contain a fair amount of profanity. No problem with it ordinarily, but I hadn't realised the Trongate restaurant was like this, and we had a good number of children in our group. It was a poor choice where that's concerned. Overall, although the chicken is great, I really wished we booked somewhere else.

    Hello Blaise, Very sorry to hear that you had a negative experience with us. We are usually very on the ball with ensuring that bookings are sat for the exact time they booked, I am sorry this was not the case on your most recent visit. You are correct that the kitchen would have treated your order as two separate tables but we sincerely apologise that there was such a wait between each table receiving their food. We are always looking for ways to improve so that every customer has an excellent experience, we really value your opinion and we will pass it along to the team. We hope you would chose to visit us again and find that we have made improvements in the areas you found lacking. We appreciate your feedback, The Bucks Bar Trongate Team

    As always, the food was amazing, and the service was fast, efficient, and so friendly. You can never go wrong with Bucks bar, but you do have to book well in advance for the weekend.

    Great food and great value for money. Only let down was the toilets , not the cleanest.
    Glasgow Bucks Bar - TrongateResponded on June 23, 2025
    Hey Elaine, Very glad you enjoyed your visit to our restaurant. Sorry to hear that our toilets were not up to our regular standard. We aim to perform a toilet check once per hour to ensure that they are clean and tidy but on busier days a lot can happen in between these hourly check and sometimes things fall through the cracks, our apologies. We hope to see you again soon, The Bucks Bar Trongate Team

    The portions were huge so order one meal between two maybe. But it was fantastic quality and the service was excellent

    Hello John, Very glad to read that you enjoyed your first experience with us. Obviously our portions are massive and you definitely won't be leaving hungry, however we do offer doggy bags and takeaway boxes if you have any leftovers you want to take with you. Looking forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much for the kind words, The Bucks Bar Trongate Team
