Buck's Fishing & Camping 5031 Connecticut Avenue Northwest, Washington, District of Columbia 20008

"Food was tasty. Although the service is the WORST I’ve seen for a long time. First of all, we came in and request three high chairs. The staff were shocked and almost in disbelief our request. After we sit down, when I asked if they could bring us three kids cup. The answer was” we don’t have it, I need to check”?! Not to mention, I had to remind the staff not to place sharp knife in front the babies… The food is good. If you plan to come with kids, definitely give a second thought. It is NOT kids friendly restaurant."

"We had a fantastic dinner here. Courtney and the staff were so friendly and accommodating. We had the fried oysters, cabbage Gorgonzola salad, the famous big steak, brussel sprouts, the burger and the chocolate cake & raspberry sorbet. All of the food was 10/10. The oysters were great, the salad was delicious. The big steak was the star and cooked perfectly (tasty fries too). The burger was also great, highly recommend getting it with the smoky spicy mayo. The Luna was the perfect cocktail."

"We went there with friends for dinner last night and had a great time. I had the Luna as a cocktail and ordered the chicken dish. It was really tasty. My husband had the fish and chips and enjoyed it too. Our waitress was very attentive. Definitely coming back!"

"I finally made it to Buck’s Camping and Fishing, and I instantly fell in love with it. It is a true gem in DC. The food was absolutely delicious. The cocktails were excellent. The ambiance is intoxicating. Manager Courtney is a delight! Inloved my experience and totally get why Washington Post food critic Tom Sietsema loves this place. Recommending it to all of my local friends."

"Walked up on this place four minutes before they opened. They requested that we wait outside for a while. Perhaps to finish pre-shift. Fine. Everything was fairly tasty. The cornmeal fried oysters were a hit with my cousin and I. The wedge salad had a tart/citrus but savory taste to it. Topped with yummy thick cut bacon. Entrees were sort of bland. I enjoyed the cauliflower purée and sprouts. However, the scallops had a rough texture to them. I’m not exactly sure why they tasted rough/dry. Usually scallops have a soft, buttery taste to them. My cousin did enjoy the lemon caper sauce. I’d say the sauce was enjoyable. We also ordered the crab cakes, please order with caution. They aren’t lump crab, if you’re a local. No pic because the dish did not look appetizing. Reason I’m rating this place a two is because I go to restaurants for more than ambiance. I go for food and service. The server was nice and knowledgeable. He neglected to inform me that he charged me twice after we requested a split check. My cousin paid and tipped in cash. After calling the manager tonight when I noticed, she said she couldn’t find the check. I told her I can email everything to her. I asked for email address and she told me it was on the website. Second inconvenience. I went to website and there’s no email address. There’s nothing about this place that would make me return after the manager on duty’s communication with me. Do better."
