I really really hate to have to leave this review, only because I am a Buck N Rider superfan. The food is amazing, their happy hour is the best but unfortunately my view has been tarnished by the staff. Myself and a friend come here on a weekly basis to enjoy happy hour and unfortunately one of their waitresses, Vanessa feels it’s necessary to bring her personal afflictions towards individuals to work.Vanessa spent her entire shift this past Thursday shooting dirty looks to myself and my friend in attempts to intimidate us? Make us leave? Not sure, but she also decided to pull seemingly every server on the clock aside and point and snicker at us. (Including our server the bartender, and an individual that appeared to be a manager of some sort)Our entire dinner was spent feeling uncomfortable and alienated by the entire staff. It was so bad to a point that the group of four sitting to our right and the individual to the left actually said something and jokingly asked what we did to make everyone so mad. After waiting for our check uncomfortably for 30 minutes (and after one of our sushi rolls was never brought out) we left feeling uneasy.My friend is usually not one to complain, she is very much a “let it go” person, but was very bothered by the experience and decided to write the manager an email describing how upset she was with the experience and Vanessa’s behavior. In the email, all she asked was that the behavior stopped so we could enjoy our weekly outing to B&R without feeling like we were being alienated by the entire staff. She signed her name and left it at that. Not even 12 hours later, my friend is receiving threatening calls and intimidating messages at 1:30AM from none other than Vanessa. The only way that Vanessa could have known who my friend was, is if the manager Mike had shared her name with Vanessa.We have made attempts to reach out and find out why exactly why her information was shared, and there has been no response or help from anyone at Buck N Rider. This has now become a safety concern, as Vanessa has my friends direct number and has now made attempts to harass me in my place of work.Patrons should not have to worry about their safety after making a very VALID complaint to management and Buck N Rider management should not under any circumstances release a patrons personal information to a very obviously unstable employee.It is such a shame how this has played out because I love Buck n Rider, as I come here weekly and used to go to the Phoenix location weekly when I lived in midtown. If I had the time, I’d drive to the Phoenix location (which is the better location anyways) but unfortunately it does not seem that B&R takes the privacy and safety of its patrons seriously.

Food was INCREDIBLE! Seafood was fresh and delicious. Chase our server was knowledgeable, checked in on us an appropriate amount while still allowing us privacy. Ceviche and sushi were so delicious- high quality ingredients. Mussels were to die for. I could have drank the broth! Also, do yourself a favor and get the lemon meringue and banana cream pie. Overall the experience was wonderful! Great location for a date night!

My boyfriend and I went here on our recent trip. It was our first time in AZ and I couldn’t recommend a better place for a wonderful dinner. Our server Jasmine was incredible and made incredible recommendations that were delicious. If you are in the Scottsdale area and want a nice sit down place to eat I will recommend Buck and Rider every time
Great place, great vibe, great food. Best seafood in metro PHX.

I went there recently with my friends. Great place for sea food. Loved the essence and the vibe of this place and their wine list is amazing. Would recommend this restaurant for the sea food.Parking: There is a huge parking spot. East to park. Plenty of spaces available
Great spot for fresh seafood or a steak dinner (but I would recommend the fish). The inside is filled with wood beams, dark blue and greens, and lots of flowers. The staff was very helpful and our waitress was very nice and accommodating, also the food was served relatively quick. The drinks were ok, the food was really good and very flavorful. We had the crudo for an appetizer, which is big enough for 2 people and one of the best crudos I have had. For dinner we had the snapper and the trout, both were cooked well and definitely the sauces they serve with the fish adds a ton of flavor. They serve a veggie side but those are kind of small compared to the serving of fish. For dessert we had banana cream pie that tasted homemade. Overall we would go back again, just to try the other fish dishes!
You can tell management is sorely lacking.Our visit was terrible. So loud I couldn’t hear my date at all. No waters given, each drink took 25 minutes to make, when they arrived they’d come with bugs, or not made correctly.We were never asked if we’d like to order dinner. Server disappeared for the rest of the visit. When I told him at the end that he was “subpar”, he said, “What does that mean? Can you look it up for me?” And never offered any kind of remedy.Please don’t go here!

We were here for a bachelorette party. We went all over for 3 days-this by far was the best food, service and experience. Our server was Mary E and she checked on us so much and was able to fulfill our needs. The food came out quick and was the best food we’ve had, everything came out perfect. Candle light dinner. It was the perfect way for us to end our weekend. I 100% would come back anytime. This is a MUST stop.

Yes, it has great food, atmosphere and service. But what really impressed me is that every part of the meal seemed carefully designed and prepared. Nothing was overlooked, including the specialty drink I ordered. And, it was one of the few times I can remember that the food was even better than a menu's description. Too many times, I see an excellent description, and then when I receive it, I wonder where half of the ingredients went, because I can't taste, Here at B&R, everything was unique & more flavorful than expected.
