Buck's American Cafe

"The server was friendly but she did a couple odd things. She returned to our table three times after ordering to ask follow up questions that I assume were from the kitchen. Then when we were mostly done eating she started clearing plates, one of which was in front of and currently being eaten off of by one of my friends. Like her picked up a fry and when he put it in his mouth she started to take the plate. It was just...strange. The dining room is old and shabby and divided by a metal rail for seemingly no reason. But the real standout was the food. It was awful. I got a wrap and it was so dry, like the lettuce had sat out for a week. The tortilla was dry and flavorless. The fries were hot but not tasty. I probably won't be returning."

"What a great, cozy, friendly and vital restaurant. This is the premier classic good continental restaurant in downtown Everett. Every time we have amazing service, drinks, food and atmosphere. The chicken Parmesan is fantastic and they really know how to cook a steak. We can't wait to come back and try more dishes. They have seasonal specials and a live musician every Wednesday. Don't sleep on Buck's!"

"I ordered the Pear Prawn salad, which was very good. The little really enjoyed the fries and chicken strips. This was a great pit stop for us. We parked on the street and enjoyed the walk up the sidewalk to the restaurant. The servers were so friendly and welcoming. They answered my questions and were very patient with the little as she ordered."

"This place is well put together, there's a cohesive vibe and it's warm and inviting. The place was packed the whole time we were there but you would never think it by the ease of the staff. The bartender mixed a perfect Foghorn with just enough lime. The portions were ample and everything was fresh and inviting. The pork shank was PERFECT, fall off the bone. I also frequently find demi glazes to take on a bitter, burnt flavor but this sauce was rich, full of depth and just delicious. The garlic mash is right up there among the best and the vegetables were bright and tender. My husband said this was the best chicken parmesan he has had yet. The house made Alfredo sauce had a fantastic hit of garlic that played well with the herb crust of the chicken. Even our little daughter, a notoriously picky eater took decent efforts at her fish and chips. Sampling a small piece, the fried halibut was well seasoned, crisp and properly drained so it was not greasy or mushy underneath. From start to finish this was a great experience. I would say this will be a new local favorite for us. Parking can be a little tough, you may want a reservation on weekends as well."

"The baked brie was good and the salmon entree was nice. The peanut butter pie dessert was the best I've ever had! The hospitality was amazing and made the experience even better."
