Buck & Rider Phoenix

"Disappointing experience after good expectations. The restaurant was very lively and fairly full with what looked like a lot of people having fun. Seated quickly and ordered straight away. Unfortunately after that everything felt rushed, with mediocre quality dishes. The calamari appetizer tasted under cooked (you could taste the flour in the coating), and under seasoned. No sooner had we finished the appetizer, the main was served. The shrimp risotto was ok but expected more flavor for the price. The pan fried yellow tail snapper was ok, with a tart lemony sauce, but the house side salad was the best part of the dish, fresh and nicely dressed. The dessert selection was decidedly underwhelming, only 3 items to choose from so we passed. The server was friendly and helpful but the experience would have been much more satisfying if they had just slowed down a bit."

"Great service, food, and ambience! The food was absolutely delicious. We had the trout dip, dinner rolls, grilled oysters, ribs, & ribeye. The only thing I would’ve liked more was a little more seasoning on the steak (which was cooked to perfection & tender), and a more garlic butter flavor to the grilled oysters (that’s just preference). My favorite appetizer was the trout dip! 9/10 overall, excellent! Will definitely be back."

"Had been wanting to try this for years and finally made it on NYE, WOW exceeded my expectations. Beautiful space with lots of vibrant energy. Kyoto sour was amazing, the oysters, shrimp, and the brussel sprouts, all WOW! Cool happy hour, plan to come back many more times!"

"We had friends in town from Minneapolis and we really wanted to spoil them. We made reservations for 1100 brunch. Everything as usual was perfect. Our waiter was amazing and the staff were incredible. We opened with cocktails recommend smoked trout dip and #1 Ahi Tuna crispy rice appetizers and the shrimp and grits was my absolute must have. All in all excellent and memorable food and company."
