Buck & Rider Phoenix

We had reservations at 4:30 PM on a Wednesday, but it seemed like the restaurant had booked many people at the same time—probably because they open at 4 PM. We ended up waiting about 20 minutes to be seated. Unfortunately, there wasn’t a designated waiting area, so everyone stood in front of the hostess, which felt a bit awkward. Initially, we were seated near the entrance, but I asked to be moved because it was cold with the doors open. I also preferred a more intimate setting with my husband rather than sitting where people walking in could see us eating. The staff was accommodating and moved us to a better spot. The food was mostly great. The jumbo shrimp and oysters were incredibly fresh, and I really appreciated that the server took the time to explain the saltiness and origins of each oyster. I also liked that we could mix and match. The drinks were top-notch—high quality with beautiful presentation. The ceviche portion was large, though it had more vegetables than shrimp, so I took the rest home. I wasn’t a big fan of the pasta, but it was decent. The dessert, however, was absolutely delicious, and pairing it with an espresso martini made it even better. The highlight of the meal was definitely the steak and lobster, along with the oysters—no surprise, since that’s what they’re known for. Our server was amazing, and despite a few minor issues, I’d definitely come back again.

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 had the shrimp scampi risotto and it was amazing. The wedge salad with crab was also really good. Oysters were fresh and the sauces provided with them perfectly complemented them. The banana cream pie was delicious! Didn’t have anything that disappointed me, even the iced tea was good.

My family really loves this restaurant. I've been there twice. I don't eat meat and the options are limited for vegetarians. They have a baked potato and salad, which I didn't recall seeing on the menu. Some of the sides are vegetarian. They have a vegetarian sushi roll. The bread is good. I think I like the baked potato best. Dessert is good and very filling. They offer free valet parking. The atmosphere is nice but very crowded. Service is on the better side of average.

Everything about this restaurant is top tier. The seafood is super fresh! If you’re a fan of oysters- go for their variety option. The staff is particularly kind and knowledgeable when asked about a selection of food. Got there a half hour before my reservation and explored the outside bar with a yummy cocktail. The restaurant itself is beautiful with very mindful selections of decor. Will definitely be making a stop every time I’m in town! I wish they would expand to Pittsburgh!

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.

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!
