Unique ambience. Wonderfully kind service. Bread pudding! I do miss the chili, though.
1) ambiance: even though this is a restaurant, the ambiance creates that first lasting impression. Stepping inside this diner is like stepping into a museum of notable events in tech, entertainment, and general nerd culture. SO AWESOME! From the license plate from Get Smart, to a keyboard for the PalmPilot, to a software box from Microsoft Windows 1.0, boxes w butterflies, .... The list goes on. 2) food is solid. Sweet potato fries nice balance of crisp, meaty, and salt. No excessive skin is nice. Grilled cheese sandwich (off menu) substantial amount of cheese and not too much bread, again without the frequent oil that sweats off the cheese. The milk shakes are big so sharing is a good idea so that you don't need to be rolled out. The millionaires bacon was thick and beautifully done, balancing crisp and meatiness. Avocado toast is generously and seclusion (per my friends). Parking is a bit challenging and there are lots of cyclists on the weekends. But your patience will be rewarded.
This place is a solid 4-4.5 stars , probably one of the best diners I've been been to I came here for a Saturday lunch , expecting a mediocre lunch (based on yelp 3.5 avg reviews) but was very pleasantly surprised Everything we ordered : - Mushroom pizza customised to come with tomato sauce - excellent , fresh , yummy and rich . What a great pizza . 4.2/5 - farro and roasted veg bowl - very good , fresh and lemony flavours . Good portion as well .4/5 - jcal onion rings - one of the best onion rings dishes I've ever had . Thick onion inside with very heavy coasting - these were at a different level . 5/5 Decor is eclectic and cute and the service was excellent We are definitely coming back to this place
We sat outside on a lovely night. Great setting and excellent service. The food was really good. I had the French Onion soup and loved it. Very cheesy, just the perfect onion flavor, and not too much or too little salt - just right. Nice bites of bread. We also had the Roasted Brussels Sprouts and they were a big hit. The flavor was just great, with a hint of maple syrup. In summary, a delicious meal, and Buck's is again highly recommended!
Food: Fried chicken sandwich had a lovely crisp to the fry and the chicken fit around the entire brioche bun. Slaw was a bit cilantro heavy but gave a nice cabbage crunch. Double smash burger is always a crowd favorite and a must have at Bucks. Fries come with both - good thicker fry with a variety of soft and crunch (but still tender) Vibe: outdoor seating has umbrellas and heaters. Inside is a museum (of sorts). Has a bar. Service: decent. Servers are nice, don't come around often which allows you to enjoy yourself. You do have to ask for more water and ask for the check.
Food: Both the salad and the pizza are great! It's my first time trying a pesto pizza (because I'm a big fan of red sauce so...;)), and it's great! It tasted very fresh and the toppings are just about right with the amount and the juiciness. Too bad that it doesn't have a strong fire-roasted flavor that I prefer yet it's decent enough! Btw I ordered a glass of Coppola Prosecco, perfect match Service: very nice and welcoming! The timing they come and how they serve is not pushy and helpful. Ambiance: Outdoor seats are casual and comfortable; indoors is very interesting in terms of all kinds of historical display and collections.
I've been going to Bucks since I was a child, before big Tech took over my hometown and sent the cost of living forever skyward. It's the perfect place for anyone with a wild imagination. Every inch of the walls are lined with bizarre trinkets and curiosities. I was recently was visiting and happened to stop by for breakfast. Unfortunately I missed the cutoff by 20 minutes. So for the first time in 30 years, I tried the lunch menu. It was decent but reminded me of this strange phenomenon I've experienced with most Bay Area legacy restaurants. Something about the food in the Bay Area is "faded" for lack of a better word. It's like the soul isn't there anymore. Everything tasted like it had been frozen before and I wasn't too impressed considering the hype and history of this spot. Maybe it was a fluke. But I suspect that this "tired and faded" feeling is probably a side effect of the trying to exist and survive in a region being consumed by tech moguls and mega rich.
Love this place! Great food, and a big outdoor eating area for the nice summery days - or if you came prepared with a jacket... it is nice most any time- sun-shaded, flowers around, plenty of tables. Milkshakes too. Big -little menu- plenty of choices. Breakfast is fantastic here. Make sure to check out the inside and the bar. So much to enjoy...., like Aunt Mildred's from the 1960s or Uncle Joes garage... funny, quirky. Lots of techies eat here, ignore their random comments, pay no attention to stock tips, have a good meal.
I had driven by Buck's a couple years ago. I knew that they were a busy place in Woodside, but, I didn't know why. On a recent business trip, my coworker insisted that we go there to eat. Buck's is a a great place with lots of stuff on display. It was almost like a museum. If you can't visit them, you can take a virtual tour here. https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=k6RtWhrenma My coworker ordered a BLT, while I ordered a double smashburger. My coworker enjoyed his BLT. He commented that it was one of the thickest BLT's that he has ever ate. He thoroughly enjoyed it and didn't share. My smashburger came with cheese and special sauce. It was one of the best burgers that I've had in a while. Needless to say, I didn't share either. I enjoyed the visit to Buck's and seeing all their ecletic art. It was almost like a being at a museum. Food was good. Service was good. No complaints.
