Menu Variety
Pros:
"Plenty of options on the menu makes it quite difficult to choose what you want as everything looks fantastic."
"Love Bucks! Been to all of their restaurants and I can definitely say they are consistent throughout."
"Very lively bar with tons of awesome food options."
"They got a lot of exciting chicken burger options which I loved."
"The food there is 10/10 for me always you pay 15£ for a huge burger with crispy fries."
"One of the best places for wings in Glasgow, the buffalo and bucks 25 wings were very good!"
"Great food, great service, love this restaurant and its sister restaurant Thundercat."
"Got quite excited to visit after my son raved about it. Had waffle, mac n cheese with chicken."
Cons:
"Got the Kim Jong Bun and the Mothership. Didn’t love the sauce on the Kim Jong Bun so I wouldn’t recommend it."
"Ordered the flaming Mac and cheese with fries which were both really tasty! My girlfriend ordered the street slaw which was amazing and also a plate of wings. The wings were the only let down."
"i ordered the mexicheese and it was the complete wrong choice. chicken would have been nice if it were edible, but unfortunately it was caked in a disgusting cheese sauce."
"Had a korean chicken burger which was ok, nothing special, salt n chilli chips were pretty bland and not at all crispy."
"Alright tasting, but if it's not got the skin on and the bone in, it's not american style fried chicken..."
"Food never fails, book early or your outside or at a late sitting, to many male dominated Christmas parties buying loud and obnoxious throwing food and generally annoying other dinners tainted the evening."
"Got quite excited to visit after my son raved about it. Had waffle, mac n cheese with chicken. Chicken was overcooked, waffle was nearly cold on arrival. Mediocre and I dont get what the fuss is about."
"Can never say anything bad about bucks not being from Glasgow I always say to family n friends to try bucks also when my missus was in over night having our daughter n I was sent out for food only choice I knew to would be worth it was bucks wish there was a east end bucks bar at the fort Canton wait to get a bucks again"
Portion Sizes
Pros:
"The food was amazing, service was quick, and portion sizes are great."
"We tried the buff chick, and the one of the waffle chicken combos. Food was awesome and portions are HUGE."
"Chicken wings (damn hot) lived up to its name that's for sure. It was fully booked so thankfully we managed to get a booking, luckily though there are two Bucks to choose from in Glasgow 👍🏼"
"Food was DELICIOUS too!!!❤️💪🏻👏🏻🍗🍗🍗"
"Liked the staff who were engaging and tentative. Opted for the Vegan burger, salt n chilli style with chips + Smoked BBQ chicken, mac n cheese waffle."
"A group of 12 friends dined here at lunchtime. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their visit. Staff friendly and the service was prompt. I liked the cushions in the dining area. An excellent selection of food and the portions were large."
"Fantastic food and a must visit. Chicken wings (damn hot) lived up to its name that's for sure."
"Great prices, great service, and big portions mean this is the place to try when you're staying in Glasgow."
Cons:
"Only thing I would say is that the portion sizes are HUGE and I hate leaving food, but couldn't finish."
"Think the portion sizes need to be looked at because there must be some amount of wastage."
"We also tried some of the adult milkshakes which were incredible. Staff was friendly. Drinks were a little slow to come out."
"The nutella waffle is to die for but would definitely recommend sharing it."
"Took a bit longer than expected for food to come after we ordered but the place was really busy so i can understand."
"Went for a family lunch cannot fault the food or the staff 1st class the interior was also very nice the only moan I have. The music was a bit loud at times we couldn't here the server."
"Didn’t love the sauce on the Kim Jong Bun so I wouldn’t recommend it. The Mothership was good. You get a very large serving of chips and the sweet potato chips are very good."
"The food was decent but the service was great. Any restaurant/bar that lets dogs in amongst others eating however is a disappointment."
Atmosphere and Vibe
Pros:
"The decor and music is completely my vibe - old school rock, neon lights, and posters covering every inch of wall."
"The vibe is so chilled and my friend and I had a great laugh at the humour around the restaurant."
"Fantastic restaurant, a must visit if you like chicken! The food was amazing, service was quick, and portion sizes are great."
"I will definitely visit again for its vibe and cheerful service."
"Went for my husbands birthday. Food lived up to the hype and the burgers are as massive as they look on insta."
"Staff friendly and welcoming, good selection of drinks, food served quickly and was really nice."
"Staff were fab cannot complain we made a booking for the wrong day and they managed to get us a tablet anyway was fantastic service."
"Food was excellent, service was wonderful and even though Covid restrictions are in place the venue gave us ample time to order, eat and enjoy being out for a lunch date for the first time in a very long time. Cannot recommend Buck's enough."
Cons:
"Sorry pictures does not give this place justice."
"The restaurant was very crammed, staff was very rude."
"Rude/unprofessional staff - particularly the young brunette girl slim build. Told to leave after an hour as next booking was arriving."
"Absolutely garbage bar service. And that's when they do serve you. Everyone in here has an attitude problem and that's twice on two different occasions when my friends and I have been turned away for 'having had too much' when I'd only just gotten off the train. Avoid this place at all costs."
"The food was decent but the service was great. Any restaurant/bar that lets dogs in amongst others eating however is a disappointment. Not everyone is comfortable around dogs and cleanliness is questionable."
"Waited 10 minutes for two bottles of beer and 15 minutes for two sides and two mains to come out which a very large portions to be told we would have to leave in 15 minutes! We could barely finish the meal…."
"Had been wanting to try for a while at the other restaurant but fully booked every time we wanted to go. It was nice inside as it had only recently opened i had the hot chicken dish, totally underestimated how hot it was."
"Staff wher brilliant with a good blend of fantastic music. food was amazing with huge portions. chips wher abit cool and abit bland but the burger and wings made up for that. only down side is the seating. am on the lager side and ther wasn't much room for moving around in the booth."
