    Craft beer here
    Kerry B.

    Was not too impressed by Buckets on my visit for Sunday football in November. I arrived early about noon and my first impression was sports bar. On Sundays for the NFL games they have the TVs labeled. I sat at the bar for convenience, but the TV for my Bills game was in a corner, literally. The service for me at the bar was slow and there was hardly anyone there. They do have another section where I think there is gambling, or smoking, or something, not really sure I didn't go through that door and you couldn't see in. I started with a craft beer and it was better than the service. About 20 minutes or so before my game was going to start, I ordered food, wings and tater tots from the NFL menu. I then moved from the bar to a table where I could see the game. Logistically I had to sit at a table which was right to the left of the door. The TV was across and every time people walked in they would pause in front of me and the TV. Not so cool. Also, because I had started at the bar, none of the servers who were waiting the tables ever even stopped by to see if I needed anything. So I would walk back to the bar for another beer, exercise... so winning! Which brings me to another topic, I thought the service was slow at the bar, but once the place was packed, all the guests were getting slow service. About a half hour into the game, which is about 50 minutes from when I ordered wings and tater tots, my food came and of course it was wrong. What I think is hilarious is that I had ordered before the rush of guests and it took them a while to make my food. When I left the bar at half time there were guests who had come in around the start of the game and were just getting their food. So at halftime I left that bar, never to return and walked across the street and over the bridge to a bar with much better service, more beer options, better food and I could watch the game without people walking in front of the screen every few minutes.

    Even when me and my husband are fighting, we come here. Everybody's really nice and it's in a good location and the food is good.

    12 Wings (Mango and Nashville Hot) and a Reuben with plenty of Hot Fries!
    Theresa M.

    My daughter and I really enjoyed our lunch yesterday. She had the wings (mango and Nashville Hot) and liked them both but really enjoyed the mango ones. I agree, they were both tasty but the mango ones had a nice extra kick to them! My Reuben was grilled just right with plenty of corned beef and toppings! The fries were delicious - they came out very hot and with plenty to share with my daughter! So many I couldn't finish them all which is unheard of when it comes to fries and me! LoL Our waitress was very attentive, friendly, helpful, and funny! It's a sports bar with plenty of tvs and a bar to sit at, as well. Very nice sized restaurant with plenty of seating and plenty of parking. Check them out!

    Talk about a surprise with this one! I drive past Buckets several times a week and have always assumed it was a dive bar/night spot. My physical therapist gave them a glowing recommendation, so I mentioned it to hubby recently as a spot to grab a bite. We met some family there last weekend and I was floored. It's occupies a good size spot in a strip shopping center on Battlefield, just north of the Locks Bridge. The parking lot could use some serious attention with repairs and repainting, but there is plenty of space available. There are 2 entrances, which we didn't notice. We took the entrance to the right (if you're facing the building) and I must have had a very confused look on my face. There was a hostess here to direct us to the dining room, thank goodness. So this side is occupied by a few tables and long bar. I noted that most everyone present had eyes glued to the MANY tv's and their tables were covered by betting sheets for horse racing. We were directed thru the door to the left into the spacious, notably clean dining room with plenty of high top tables, bar seating and booths. There are tons of tv's on this side too, which makes me ready to return for football Sundays in the fall! We joined our dining companions who had already devoured an appetizer sampler and ordered our drinks. Tap beers were served in plastic cups, which I didn't care for considering the waste factor and coldness factor. The place is nice looking and the plastic cups detract from that. They do have great prices for domestic bottles and offer daily specials. Hubs and his brother both had a hankering for steak. I selected the caprese salad and another had the club. Our food was DELICIOUS! The steaks were cooked perfectly, but just slightly over-seasoned. The hand-cut french fries were the best! My caprese salad was a good portion, satisfying and fresh and the club got rave reviews as well. Our server was prompt and attentive through the whole experience. The prices are incredibly reasonable and go along with outstanding service and tasty food. I underestimated this place and wish I had stopped in sooner. We'll be back very soon and very frequently if future experiences are the same as our first!

    Food was really good: cheeseburger, grilled cheese, fries, and sampler (cheese curds, fried pickles, mac-n-cheese). Service was good: friendly, fast.

There were enough TVs available to appease sports fans and there were some gaming machines on the other side of the bar. There is outdoor seating and I think it is mainly for smokers. The seating was mainly bar seating with a few available bench type tables. The actual reason why I came here was for the pork chops that I saw on the online menu which were unfortunately not available at this restaurant as the menu was changed recently. I ordered the fried cheese curds and a burger with a salad. The food was only ok and nothing to write home about. Service was mainly for the regulars as they were drinking more which added to their tabs. I ate my food and I was out of there, pretty disappointed. The bathrooms were kind of gross as well but I guess normal for a bar. I definitely don't recommend it here if you want to have a nice dinner. It's ok if you want to look at pretty girls while having some drinks and bar food.

You have claw machines, a British telephone booth, a bear brick painting painted like Iron man next to a neon "good vibes" sign and a large comfy sofa in the front in case you want to take a nap after eating their delicious chicken. Placing all judgment aside based purely on the aesthetic environment, this place makes some slamming soy garlic chicken and some tasty fries! That's all you need to know. Service was pleasant and the one gentleman seemed to be hustling bringing out people's food to their tables or calling out their numbers. The lady at the register kept the line moving. It wasn't busy when we initially ordered, but then there was an influx of customers out of nowhere! Initially I thought the price was kind of steep for 6 pieces of chicken but then I saw the size and they are huge! I added a side of fries and a drink and it came to a total of $17 and some change. If you dine in there are free refills. One of my friends came back to our table with a mini cup of ice cream. Apparently they have a freezer of ice cream and popsicles that are complimentary! So that was a nice added touch! They offer military discounts! Just show your ID! I asked. Not too soon after, I heard a gentleman that had purchased food prior to me comment out loud that he wish he knew that earlier. I just always try to ask wherever I go, the worst they can say is no. ‍ I don't go to Chesapeake often, but if i'm ever out this way, I would definitely stop by again. The entrance is a bit confusing when driving up. While it faces the main street of Battlefield Blvd you have to turn at the traffic light and go behind another building that's adjacent to it, just make sure you don't overshoot and miss the turn. This place seemed to have a lot of not so great reviews or were a mixed bag, but I figured it was at the point of I'm just going to figure this out myself and experience it. I'm glad I did.

I found out I ordered "incorrect" combo item. I was wanting wings didn't realize I order a different combination. The catch 22 to that though I ordered "extra sauce" and even put a comment of saying "please cook well done". Never received extra sauce that I was CHARGED for. After the delivery I realize the wings weren't there. I called and spoke to whoever that "personally packed and cooked my food". They bluntly told me I ordered what I ordered and that I didn't order wings. Even after I questioned about the sauce the guy dismissed me and kept it pushing. The food would have been good if he wasn't being a complete prick about the interaction. Didn't receive paid for sauce nor extra sauce for received items. The second time I ordered under someone else's information. Same thing missing sauce items. Personally went in and the dude I spoke to had a whole attitude that I was questioning him. I calmly just asked for refund if I'm not getting my sauce that I was charged for. A comment was made about "over $2.00". Which I responded you're doing the same over measly $2.00. Both times didn't get money or requested items. Overall the time I was able to get food. The time for waiting wasn't so bad but at the same time dealing with men that get annoyed the second you point out their mistakes ruins appetite. Oh you can go on TikTok (social media) and find an individual recording and see roaches inside their establishment.

Here, the first time I ordered must have been a slow night, cause my wings were bagged and ready and I was in and out with 3 minutes after getting my drinks made. Everything tasted great as normal. The second time, I ordered wings on my birthday cause they gave me free season fries for my birthday coupon. The wait times expected was 8-12 minutes on my order which I believed from my first experience here. I arrived after about 15 minutes. The store was packed with people waiting for their orders and had about four orders waiting to be picked up. I waited for the guy in front of me to order and then informed the girl at the counter that I ordered online and she basically said food was still being made. I realized they were busy and stressing out so I patiently sat down. I did notice that there was lots of phone use in the back (food prep area and bagging area) despite the busy store and cleanliness concerns. Another thing I noticed was that the girl in the front got increasingly more unfriendly as the store got busier. She obviously was frustrated and mad that the store was busy and the customers were getting irritated from waiting. I did my due diligence and just waited patiently as the kitchen worked as fast as they could. After about an hour of waiting, I just went up to check if my order was ready. The girl asked who I was again. She looked surprised when I informed I was waiting for about an hour. She looked at the nearby bag and handed it to me. It was obviously ready a while ago as my blue cheese was pretty warm and my fries were already cooling down when I got back to my hotel. The chicken was also not cooked as well as the first time I ordered from here so like a said in the beginning first visit would have been a 5 star and the second one was pretty close to the 1 star visit so you can take your chances eating here but I do love their wings so I will probably take my chances again and hope for the best.

It is now 2:45PM over an hour later and we are still waiting with no updates from staff. I completely understand that lunch rushes happen, but communication is basic customer service. If the kitchen is running this far behind, customers deserve to be told upfront so they can make an informed decision. I was waiting in the car with my toddler, who fell asleep around 1:30 PM while we were still waiting. Sitting in a parking lot for over an hour with no communication is unacceptable. If you value your time, I would not recommend ordering to-go from here. Respect for customers' time clearly isn't a priority. Updated Finally received our food at 3:45 to only be left more disappointed by the portion sizes. Only received one piece of fish for a dinner, yams are not homemade and Mac and cheese was dry. They offered a free drink at 2:40 pm which doesn't nearly compensate for time. They continued to take orders by phone and in person and couldn't handle demand. At a point when your kitchen is over 2 hours behind, you need to push out the orders you already have and turn people away. I would much rather have been turned away and to try them on a different day with a coupon.
