“ Staffs in this retaurant are very friendly. I ate sushi with shrimp. So fresh and delicuos. Seafood is number 1. And they have large parking, nice flower, beautiful place ”
“ I have driven many a time by this place. I always felt intrigued by how it looked and how busy it always was. I took my wife out for a date an update to be a surprise for her and myself that have never visited this restaurant. I am so happy that I made that decision. We enjoyed some of the most delectable dishes. Deep fried calamari was the best I have ever had as well as a tuna roll. We also enjoyed the tuna tataki with a very flavorful dressing. We ordered the barbecue ribs and the ribeye steak. When we order barbecue ribs we always compare them from another restaurant that we love. So I would say these are an 7.5 compare to the other ones. The ribeye steak was delicious. The only thing that we didn't enjoy was the baked potato, it was a little bit cold. To end the night we got a lemon meringue pie. It was fabulous. This place is for seafood lovers for the most part. They have so many combinations of platters. We had a an outstanding waiter. Very helpful and knowledgeable. The place itself is very clean. Dark atmosphere which I like. They have a patio area with a bar. Bathrooms are amazingly clean. We will definitely come back. ”
“ We took my Brother and Sister-in-law for his Birthday. Service was excellent. Food was delicious. Ambiance was perfect! We started with the Camelback Seafood Platter! Awesome! Gluten-free crab cakes were divine! Best ever! ”
“ I. Love. This. Spot. The oysters were fresh and the king salmon was amazing. Not to mention they had a tasty lemon meringue pie that was HUUUUUUUGE. Be sure to get a reservation as this place seems to always be packed. ”
“ Great place for a low key birthday celebration and delicious food. We ordered from the raw bar selections and the Spanish turbot with broccolini and beurre blanc sauce was perfectly cooked. This meal paired with a crisp glass of Sauvignon blanc and pull-apart dinner rolls was absolute heaven. Don’t skip the dinner rolls, they’re croissant like. We ended the meal with a to die for banana cream pie. I don’t even really like pie but this one was last meal worthy. The service was top tier and we did not have to wait long for our reserved table. Definitely less than 5 minutes. I will certainly be returning and would recommend anyone on the fence about trying out this establishment to go! ”
“ In town for a wedding and had to pay Buck & Rider a visit to see how the lemon meringue pie sized up to the hype. Even though they were busy we were seated quickly and the service was outstanding. Food was delicious the and pie was the real deal. ”
“ We have been here a few times now and always recommend Buck & Riders. Everyone who has gone also loves this place. Took my team from work to the Gilbert restaurant and they served great food just like the Phoenix restaurant. I would say Buck &Riders has the best seafood, steak and service in Phoenix. ”
“ Would return for great atmosphere and amazingly fresh seafood at a decent value. We went on the last day of AZ restaurant week. Had early reservations and they seated us right away. Good atmosphere with lots of people at the indoor and outdoor bar. Interesting decorations including an analog mechanical billboard that would rotate occasionally. The waitress took the time to explain how they fly seafood in from all over the world. I had the oysters and ribeye and my girlfriend had the Caesar and seafood risotto. The oysters were amazingly fresh and almost made me forget I was in Arizona. Everything else was really solid, but nothing to write home about. ”
