“ First visit to this establishment. Very clean, modern, and well decorated. Nice touch with old pictures of artists who have played at Buck Lake Ranch. The food was excellent, and side selections are not just fries and cole slaw. I got garlic mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts. The brussel sprouts were excellent with bacon bits sprinlked on and had a touch of sweetness. The garlic mashed potatoes tasted like instant potatoes made with water. Very little flavor and not creamy. I had the fish dinner, and it was great. Lightly breaded and flakey. ”
“ They serve ribs on Friday nights. I wasn't planning on having ribs, but when we pulled into the parking lot, the wonderful smell changed my mind. They were tender and fell off the bone. The sauce was just right. Our server, Nicki, took great care of us. She got our drinks and food to us promptly. I definitely recommend this place. ”
“ I got takeout via DoorDash, picked it up myself. The restaurant/bar is super cute, tucked away behind the main street businesses. With a name that includes "lake", it seems odd that it's not ON the lake, but My food was done on time (I scheduled it) and nice and hot even once I got back to my hotel 15 minutes later. I got the Nashville hot sliders, they are a good size and taste great! For reference, their medium is equal to Thai level 1, haha. I will definitely try "hot" next time. But they taste great! I got macaroni and cheese as my side, and an extra side of Brussels sprouts with bacon. I was a little leery of both - neither look particularly special in takeout containers. But, they taste great! (For the record, I ate one slider before I thought to take pictures!) For the price, speed, and quality, I'll certainly go back. Maybe next time I will have the time to dine in! Their bar looked nice and comfy! ”
“ The Christmas mule and margaritas were as good as any we’ve had. The beer cheese app was delicious. I had the spicy meatball dinner. My husband had the ribs. Both meals were very tasty. Ribs fell off the bone. Friendly and attentive staff. We will be back !!! ”
“ The owner has done a great job with the renovation and updating it from what it used to be. It's cozy with the added fireplace and has a relaxing vibe. The food is really good. The tenderloin sandwich is huge. The fish basket is tasty. If you're a local and remember Miss Vicky's potato salad, they have it!! ”
“ Hot diggity, we hit the jackpot! Great service, cocktails, food. Beautiful inside. Homemade dishes, the meatballs were primo! Everything was perfection! ”
“ We had an amazing dinner at Buck Lake Bar & Grill! The sliders were delicious and the pork chop was fenominal! Looking forward to going back this summer! ”
“ Best chicken in town, period. Love their original sides too. Everything is freshly made and delicious. So glad to have someplace not serving frozen stuff in town. ”
