Fantastic food, service, and all around experience. Bucket is at its peak in summer, but winter views of the river through snowfall are awesome as well.
Food is solid - I'm glad they added hand pattied burgers back to the menu (as well as smash, those are awesome)! I was also glad to see the addition of optional specialty burgers - the PB is fantastic. Classics like the perch and kid friendly (filling) options will keep us coming back.

4 of us went to dinner last evening 3/11/2026. The food was excellent! 3 of us had smash burgers with chips and fries. The other person ordered perch dinner. Also excellent. Our server, Brandi was quick with drinks and dinner came fast. Also ordered onion rings and we enjoyed them also. We will definitely go back. 10/10 for us.
I am definitely going back and it is great to see that this spot is back. I will always miss the Oaken Bucket, but I am...
