    Pheasant with Parmesan sauce. Pretty good.

    Bama Bucks is a cool Zoo/Restaurant (although the featherless ostriches and bears in a small cage are disturbing) . The food is good enough and the staff is good enough but not good enough to compensate for the hour plus wait for a table (caused by the literal one hour wait between the time food is ordered and arrives). And the guy who delivers the food is the worst (just dumps off the food). A high note was the guitar player in the courtyard. Tim Johnson he was excellent.

    Barbecue Burger and French fries delicious had pulled pork on top of the burger .

    First time here, we had about 40 minute wait but it was well worth it. Food was delicious and service was great even though they were busy. Loved all the things on the wall. Perfect place for large groups.

    If you have the chance stop in and eat at Bama Bucks! Shamira is the best server ever. Friendly, attentive, and quick. The food was flavorful, fresh, and filling. They have animal enclosures in the back. We watched kangaroos, ostriches, raccoons, camels and more while we waited on our table. Cute gift shop. Love everything about it and I found it very reasonably priced.

    Our family loves to go to Bama Bucks!!! The restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere and the friendliest staff!!! Now for the food... To start off, try the Fried Pimento Cheese Balls with homemade Pepper Jelly... They are Delicious!! Personally, my favorite dish is the Marinated Grilled Chicken Breast on a bed of Seasoned Rice with Sautéed Vegetables and choice of additional side (love their salads) and of course the Yeast Rolls with whipped Butter... My husband loves the American Angus Burger and mashed potatoes!! We've also enjoyed the the Trophy Mount 14oz Ribeye, topped with Melted Tomato Butter, Baked potato and Side Salad (and I have to mention the Sweet Potato Fries and fried green tomatoes). After you eat be sure to check out the Gift Shop with Fiona, the two toed Sloth, and the colony of Honey Bees working their sweet magic. Finally, enjoy a short after dinner stroll around the through the Exotic Animal Park!! You will not be disappointed planning a trip to this Wonderfully Unique Restaurant!!!

    Walk around the animal reserve or rock in chairs on the front porch while you wait for your table. Come early for a shorter wait. Worth the drive. Delicious food too.

    Me and my family went to Bama Bucks. We really enjoyed it. I got the ribeye with double mac & cheese for the sides. The owner was very nice and the waitresses were nice also. we got our food pretty fast with it being Father's Day weekend when we went. it was crowded, but it was Father's Day weekend. We saw a guy and he was holding a baby alligator while I was eating gator bites lol. so I really recommend eating here. Goodbye.

    We love Bama Buck's! We have been several times and the food is always great! Our kids love being able to go see the animals while we wait. Get the bison with tomato butter but on your next trip try elk steak with the black berry reduction, both absolutely delicious.

    The food especially the steaks were so good there was no need for steak sauce. We set window side with great view of the deer pen. Great service never mind the wait if there is one you can sit fire side while waiting for a table and watch the animals.

    Animals looked sickly and steaks were burned almost to a crisp! Will not be back. Very disappointed.

    We drove six hours for this dinner--and it was absolutely worth every mile. From the moment we…read morestepped in, we were greeted with that warm, small-town charm that's so rare to find anymore. The historic vibe of the building adds something truly special. (If you're curious, this restaurant is located in a structure with roots dating back to the early 1800's--look up the history; it's fascinating to see how it's been preserved and transformed.) The dining room was buzzing with conversation, laughter, and a genuine sense of community. Black-and-white tile floors, exposed brick walls, vintage decor, and soft lighting make the ambiance cozy and nostalgic--like stepping into a different era. Dinner? Fantastic. Service? Even better. The staff was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Everything from the drinks to dessert hit the mark. This is more than a meal--it's an experience. A place that reminds you of the good old days, where time slows down and the food--and people--bring you joy.

    3rd taking the 40 minute ride to Cave Spring. This time just to eat here. Very reasonable prices,…read morecute rustic charm. Good service. We had the fried green tomatoes for an appetizer. Then the 16 ounce prime rib and a 12 ounce ribeye. We are steak snobs and these past the test with flying colors. Will definitely go back.
