    Love Buck and Rider. The fresh seafood is flown in daily, and you can really taste the difference. It's honestly hard to find great seafood in Arizona, but Buck and Rider makes it easy. Brooke, our beautiful waitress, was incredibly helpful and made great recommendations. She even humored my husband with his bad jokes and constant yapping. We had a wonderful dining experience and will definitely be back the next time we're in town.

    Lemon meringue pie

    Never disappoints, not once. Service is always great and never had a bad bite. Great place to go and celebrate! Some highlight dishes, Crudo Calamari Voodoo rice Fish is so good, but steaks are top notch too Lemon Meringue Pie!

    Halibut

    I came here with a friend who's been here and it did not disappoint. I had ordered an espresso martini then we shared oysters, crispy rice with tuna on top (soooooo yummy!) and then I ordered halibut and he got salmon. Both fish was so yummy! I want to come back and try new dishes Service was very friendly and attentive. Didn't have to wait too long to be taken care of. The place is so cool. I like the letters that move that's cool.

    Texas Red Fish with broccolini
    Rebecca T.

    A fabulous experience from service to food to outdoor seating. Our waitress was attentive as well as excited to share her favorites with us. She was phenomenal and I wish I had grabbed her name. She was the cherry on top! The food....OMG, the oysters! They were delicious! We tried (and our favorite in order from favorite to least - but all so good!): Rock Point, Malpeque, and Coromandel. For cocktails we tried Golden Hour which was a lovely surprise in flavors and Secret Garden which was sweet and light in flavor but also heavy on the palate, and the bee pollen was fun and complimented the drink very well. Our dinner options were: 6 piece nigiri, deluxe spicy tuna roll, NZ King Oro Salmon with broccolini, and South Texas Red Fish with broccolini. We are excited to go back for Happy Hour in the near future.

    Pasta with chicken and sausage (normally comes with shrimp)

    Buck & Rider is an upscale seafood restaurant close to Arcadia near 44th street and Camelback. We came for lunch on Wednesday. We were seated immediately after arriving and our waiter, Trevor, was right there to greet us. This was our first visit so Trevor took some time to talk about some menu items with us. We ordered and our food came out pretty quickly. I ordered crab cakes. They were the best I've ever had. They were crab meat, sauce in a panko crust. None of the mostly stuffing with some crab pieces thrown in. Delicious! They wet accompanied by the summer green beans and corn. This was served cold, like a salad with a light dressing and some shavings of Parmesan on top. Amazing! My wife doesn't like seafood, so she had a pasta dish. Buck & Rider was kind enough to replace the shrimp with chicken for her. We split a banana cream pie for dessert. Great graham cookie base, banana cream and then whipped cream on top. Sliced banana on the side of the dish and everything was sprinkled with chocolate shavings. Excellent! This was a great place to have lunch. We'll be back!

    New York strip and eggs

    Buck and Rider never disappoints. I took my family for a Saturday brunch and had an excellent experience. What a classy restaurant and the service is always amazing. We started out with the ceviche, which is a great portion for four people. I had the New York strip steak and eggs, which was cooked perfectly tasted amazing. You will not be disappointed. Enjoy!!!

    Shrimp and grits
    Shae B.

    This was a good restaurant with good service. I ordered the shrimp and grits. It was okay. I was expecting lots of flavor and they just didn't have that. We got the biscuits and Brussels sprouts as appetizers. The Brussels sprouts were really good, they came with a cheese sauce that paired amazingly. Biscuits had a honey butter and garlic flavor. Overall I will give this restaurant 4 out of 5.

    Sea Bass served with grilled broccolini served with a wedge of lemon and a ghee based sauce on the side
    Jasmine D.

    Came to Buck & Rider for a dinner date with a friend, and it was a completely flawless experience from start to finish. I would definitely recommend this spot for an eventful dinner or a great date night. The Food & Drinks: We ordered the red snapper served with a side of whole carrot and the sea bass served with a side of broccolini. The fish was incredibly fresh, light, and flavorful! To top it off, we ordered a classic margarita on the side, which paired perfectly with the meal. I already need to go back just to try the other specials on the menu. The Ambiance & Service: We made a reservation ahead of time to be safe, and we were seated immediately upon arriving. We visited during the transition from winter to spring when the evening air was a bit chilly, but they had a heater placed perfectly near us to keep everything warm and comfortable. The service was top-tier our food arrived in a quick 12 to 15 minutes after ordering. Logistics: We used their valet service for the car, and just like the rest of the night, it was prompt, professional, and effortless. Money and time well spent.

    Look how much thought they put in their to go bags.

    The food is always exceptional and to top it off the service is amazing. The inside is so warm and inviting and if you like outdoors it's beautiful as well. You definitely get your moneys worth and will leave there wanting more.

    BANANA PIE FROM BUCK AND RIDER ABSOLUTE JOY
    Barb W.

    Happy hour woohoo!!!!! reservation system TRASH but I like going. Service is pretty average basically what you'd find at longhorn steakhouse. Managers are supreme. Alex is wonderful and a joy. I love the oysters always fresh and shucked to PERFECTION. Ceviche. Sushi. Fish but not the snapper. greatness on camelback. And this is the best location. Oh and save room for dessert banana pie is to die for.

    You could sum this review into a few words - MAKE SURE YOU COME DINE HERE!! The food is the star of the show and the service is the encore that is like a ribbon on top! They fly their fish in fresh everyday so if you want great seafood, this is THE PLACE! You can get sushi or steak, or many different varieties of fish. We got: 1. Crunchy Tuna Roll: great starter and tasted amazing 2. Shrimp Scampi Risotto: shrimp was huge and the whole dish was bursting with flavor, will be wishing for more! 3. Soft Crab Sushi Roll: this was good, but was not my fav of the night 4. Banana Crème Pie: Absolutely Delish!!!! 5. Chocolate Cake: my wife got this with the ice cream and she loved it. The place is busy, and we went on a Monday so try and make reservations ahead of time.

    Amazing service and yummy food made this quite the experience. The sea food was so fresh. Looking forward to going back one day.

    Some girl friends and I went to buck & rider for AZ restaurant week and loved the menu offerings. You get so much good food for the price! I started with the voodoo fried rice which was amazing. I also got the filet mignon with broccolini which was so buttery. The steak melted in my mouth. We also got gelato for dessert with a cookie which was the perfect way to end the meal. Our server was very friendly and offered us plenty of time to figure out our orders between us catching up. We never ran out of water and they let us stay for a while after we finished our meal while we talked which was so kind. We sat inside which was nice. I'd never been before so I was surprised how spacious and how much seating this restaurant had. The only parking option outside is valet which made the experience feel even more luxe. This was a great classy girls nice!

I got some deserts and I have to say that they WERE a little dry (the cake parts) as you might expect a glutton free offering but they were all very tasty while not being overly sweet. We were told they use no refined sugars which is probably why the cakes were not overly sweet. I like that I can go get a snack like that that has good flavor without it being to much. The prices seem to be very reasonable as well. They have a wellness room and they offer acupuncture and other things plus they offer yoga once a week at no cost other than a donation. Makes it nice so you can give more if you're able but for those weeks that are a little tight you can do a little less or not at all. When you go, just note that they are on the very south end of the center, facing the east, right behind the Mexican restaurant building. Great place if you're Vegan or even if you're not. A very nice healthy alternative.

She was so kind, patient, and genuinely helpful with her recommendations. I asked if they had raspberry or peach sweet iced tea, and instead of just saying no, she literally came up with her own concoction for me! That little extra touch meant so much. She even took the time to chat with us about where we were headed because we had a flight to catch. She was incredibly friendly, personable, and made us feel like more than just another table. And THE FOOD?! Absolutely delicious. We especially loved the shrimp dish so much that we ordered TWO more plates to go so we could eat them at the gate while waiting for our flight! lol That should tell you everything you need to know. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, but honestly, the customer service is what made this visit unforgettable. This woman deserves ALL the recognition because she was giving A1 service from beginning to end. I actually called the restaurant afterward because I wanted to find out her name, and I was told Ashley. I really hope that's the right girl because that name definitely rings a bell! If it is her, Ashley, THANK YOU! You were so kind to my mom and me and made our experience so special. So if you're in the Phoenix area, ruuuuuuun!!!

Only downside is that…read morefor some reason Apple maps was not accurate to finding the location and parking was a challenge as it is right on Roosevelt Row. However as soon as I found it and immediately after entering Pretty Penny I was transformed to the cutest little restaurant. I was greeted immediately and had made a reservation so even though my friend hadn't arrived yet, they sat me down. They instantly offered water and menus (food and cocktail). I noticed that the menu seemed very small and the dishes were shareable -- I don't eat meat so I was hoping my friend wouldn't mind sticking with fish and seafood (which she didn't). As soon as I got to my table there was the cutest sign that said welcome to Sarah Sherman and guest -- it was such an adorable and personal touch, I loved that! As soon as my friend got there we immediately both ordered the cold brew old fashioned -- we thought about the espresso martini but this just sounded too good to pass up -- and we were not disappointed! This drink was so tasty and strong. We immediately ordered the bread (sourdough boule) to soak up some of the alcohol as well as some oysters and the salsa. The oysters were so well spiced and were absolutely delicious. But the bread, the bread, the bread -- the server mentioned that it took almost 9 months to develop the bread recipe and it served. It was the best bread and butter that I think I have ever had! The salsa was good but probably was my least favorite of everything and it was still super yummy. We then moved on to the octopus tostadas. Sometimes octopus is not my fav -- it can be too chewy but this was so amazing and incredibly flavorful. It was starting to be my favorite dish until we ordered the Hamachi -- OMG!! Talk about a mouth orgasm-- both my friend and I were yummming it up -- but seriously this bite was so complex with different flavors coming up with every chew -- it has coriander candied peanuts, fermented pineapple, avocado, pickled fresno, toasted coconut and aji amarillo yogurt -- The server mentioned that this was the chef's least favorite dish which I totally do not understand because this was off the charts in my book. We also tried the earl gray whiskey sour, which was light and delicious, and ended with the shrimp toast and the espresso martini. By the way the toast on the shrimp toast was like a little fried dough triangle -- sooooo gooood! The martini was good but the cold brew old fashioned really stole the spotlight for me. Other details I loved that just elevated the experience: Purse hook (very important to me), the little trays for your utensils, metal coasters, incredibly attentive servers, fantastic music, great ambiance and the cutest was the penny they put on top of your check. So cute -- was not expecting such an enjoyable all around experience!! Will be back 1000%!!!

We are fans of the local competitor and wanted to see how this one compared. TLDR: the other one is better! We each ordered the Famous Low Country Boil - mine with lemon pepper sauce and my daughter with the 88 Special, a combo of all the sauces. She went with no spice and I went with mild. We also ordered a bowl of rice. We did enjoy what we had but it seemed heavier than what we are used to. We were not big fans of the sausage mixed in and our service was fine, but not amazing. We were also disappointed that there were not scissors offered to help get the meat out of the crab / lobster - we really had to work for it! On a positive note, we did make good use of the wet wipes that were given to us as well as our bibs and gloves. It is quite a messy meal and note that I learned the hard way: don't wear white if you're planning on ordering any kind of seafood boil! Pricing is similar to the competitor. Ambiance is chill but not as fun. I would not rush back, but I also would return with reasonable expectations.
