Went to Buck's tonight for our 50th wedding anniversary with friends who had been there before. It was our first time dining at Buck's. The whole night was wonderful! The whole staff went above and beyond to make the night perfect. The food was perfect, drinks were amazing, and the atmosphere very romantic. Miss Embry was the perfect waitress. We can't wait to go back!

This place is romantic ! The food is excellent , the flowers are beautiful and it just has charm. The service was 10/10 and the piano player did a good job also. The noise was quiet in our section and there was plenty of seating. If in town I highly recommend this hidden gem.

An absolutely beautiful evening with my husband and two of my sisters at Buck's Restaurant. Our dinners were absolutely delicious. The service was great. Atmosphere was beautiful, comfortable and an absolute joy with Reggie as the Pianist. We enjoyed music from our childhood like songs from The Sound of Music, The Peanuts theme song, Joys of Christmas and so many musicals that just made you smile as you enjoyed you meal and conversations. We highly recommend Buck's to all especially those looking for a wonderful date night. Everyone was so kind and welcoming.

We had our company dinner there, and Tony took great care of us. He was awesome, attentive, and paid a lot of attention to detail. The food was great we loved it. The place is very unique.

I'd give it 4 1/2 stars. Unfortunately, my ribeye was medium instead of medium rare. Service was perfect. The ambiance was clearly meant to support our dining. Gorgeous white flowers, live piano. My Paper Plane was yummy. Just right.

Third yearly visit this year while in Kentucky. Ordered the pork chop this time and the food was phenomenal. Great service from our server. Will be back next year!
