Buckets Sports Bar & Grill

Last time I came to this restaurant the server, Ella, was so rude to me! She ends up being my server about 90% of the time. I always tip her well, and never send food back. When she set my food down she immediately and very aggressively asked me if it was to my liking, with a side of attitude. I hadn't taken a bite yet, how would I know? I don't know what her problem was, but you don't treat your customers that way. You know what's not to my liking? Being treated like I'm some kind of problem or inconvenience. Seems like someone is burnt out from their job. Pound sand, I won't be back.

The food was presented well. But I ordered the smoked chicken nachos but there was very little chicken.

DIY wings? Ordered from this place 3 times, specifically for wings. Not once did I have to sauce them up myself? Lady looked at me like I was crazy for thinking they were gonna come pre-sauced? Wouldn’t even be a big deal if they would have mentioned the sauce was on the side, but of course they did not.

Edit: Sauce cold, shorted us 2 wings. Tonight ain’t their night 😭😂

Food was decently good, I don't now how you can mess up chicken wings? The waitress screwed up our ticket twice...but was able to finally fix it. Honestly, nothing to write home about and a bit overpriced. My buddy ordered 10 wings and asked for all drummies. The waitress came back and told him it was the last couple of drummies they had left...really? early on a Saturday evening? Next she told him she'd give him 4 more flats for no charge. We get the ticket and she's totally upcharged him for the large order. We were done and not in the mood to argue. And of course, no fries or sidewinders with every meal. Another sneaky upcharge! Never going back there again. Y'all should change your name from Buckets to Suck-its!

MARLEY IS THE BEST, AS WELL AS THE WHOLE STAFF🥊💜FOOD, OF COURSE IS AWESOME, BUT BEFORE U STOP, STOP AT "OLE MILL", "KARLIE", FOR BEST SOUP IN TOWN👍👌💜🇺🇲

TL;DR: The Reuben Smash Burger is delicious.

We stopped for lunch while visiting family and the food was good but the service was excellent.

We started off with a few appetizer:
The Fried Bottlecaps (fried sliced pickled jalapenos) were delicious. Possibly the only tasty way to prepare a pickled jalapeño.
The Bucket of Cheese Sticks were somewhat of a letdown. They are good, but the bucket is more like 6 sticks on a platter.
The Onion Rings are delicious as well. Nothing fancy. Just tasty.

My daughter had a kids quesadilla. She liked it but it was a bit too much food for her to finish. A sentiment reflected by a few of us.

I had the Reuben Smash Burger. I don't recall reading it on the menu, but this is a double. Two beef patties, a layer of delicious corned beef topped with a small layer of flavorful sauerkraut. I loved it. Unfortunately, I wasn't hungry enough to eat the fries that came with it.

The fries deserve s special not-so-positive mention. I am normally a huge fan of the thick spiral cut fries, but these didn't quite taste as expected. I think it might have just been an issue with cooking temperature of the grease being used, so your experience may vary (and hopefully it does). On the other hand if you like dense and not fluffy fries, these may be perfect. The overall seasoning is good.

They serve craft beer and designated which brews are local. I saw Lost Forty and Flyway offerings on the list.

Overall, I am definitely coming back. The service was good enough and the food interesting enough that we have plenty to try next time. The family we came to visit.seems to like it as well. It was also cheaper than what I would have expected based on the food.

Buckets of delight. And they were out of sprite. Just kidding I ordered water. Anyways this place is pretty good, known for their wings. Although there was a strange man that looked funny standing in the corner

Over all I would say 6/7

Our server Ella sucked. Not fun to spend money and have lousy service. She had an attitude, chomped on her gum and yawned the entire time we were there. We will not go back and makes me feel bad to not leave a good tip. Place wasn’t very busy, now we understand why

The young lady as you entered was very helpful as I've never been there before so I didn't know where to order for to go. Went to the bar to order my food. Sara was good but after I ordered my food I wasn't asked if I wanted a drink or anything like that as I waited for my food for 20 minutes or so. I understand it wasn't fast food but waiting 20+ plus minutes for boneless wings is kinda not worth it especially after I got home an found bones in my boneless wings. Only probably ate 4 out of the 12 after the discovery an threw away the rest. Its a good establishment but please double check with yalls supplier about the boneless wings.

The wings have the same base sauce with no flavor. The “sidewinders” were salt winders. The beer list and menu is kinda slim. The server was a what do you want want server not that helpful. The building has potential. The next place will have a good setting.
