So decided to go to this location vs Snohomish since this is where everyone went. It's conveniently located right next to the Irishman. Austin, was very helpful and very informative of the menu. I went with the the 2 meat, 2 side combo. But I had to try pulled pork slider, because I need a sample of that, cause every now and then I love a good pulled pork sandwich. Added the corn bread, the honey butter that goes with, was delicious. They do have two other locations. One is in Snohomish. That is where they prepare all their meats. Will definitely be returning

I am so happy they stuck to bistro quality food. We ordered salmon and steak and both were cooked perfect. The chimi cajun sauce on my salmon was great. The service was amazing considering they had just lost a few staff and only two gals served the whole full restaurant including the bar drinks. No one felt they got inferior service and our service was great. Buck's has a really nice lodge bar/bistro ambience. They have good music on Thursday nights.

They've got a good selection of beer on tap, but I thought the cocktails were overpriced--nothing really stood out. I'd rather spend $16 on a craft cocktail at Colby Club. The food wasn't great. We got the calamari and it was bad--cold and honestly just bland. We also ordered the beer-battered halibut. It was okay, but a bit overcooked, and it came with fries... maybe 25 total for a 3-piece fish plate. Our bill was around $65 for two beers (with the $2 off Thursday special), the calamari, and the 3-piece halibut. Just overpriced for what it was. The place itself is cute, and they had acoustic music going, which was nice. The staff was friendly and really hustling with how busy it was. Overall, though, I didn't feel like it was worth it and probably wouldn't go back. I wish we could do .5 stars. I struggled between 2 & 3. I ended with 3 for the venue, live music (she was really good) and the awesome staff.

We got there about half an hour early to try and get lunch before the performance started, but it took a while for the food to show up. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the double bacon cheeseburger was. Also, they had an option of waffle fries, or hand cut fries. The hand cut fries were awesome. The others had a breakfast burrito that actually was too small burritos and hashbrowns. Unfortunately when they brought that out, they didn't bring any silverware so he didn't eat the hashbrowns. The sausage omelette was good and had a good amount of sausage in it. The students looked to enjoy themselves, and we, their fans did too.

Absolutely love this place! The bathrooms are an experience, there are good pool tables, decent bar food, and a variety of live events throughout the month! Honestly, there's not another place in the area like Tony V's, and by the crowds, you can tell other people absolutely love it too! I'll always keep coming back!

Service with a smile and we were seated immediately in a restaurant that was 95% full. The menu is better than the standard breakfast fare and has some specialties mixed in. I had the malted waffle with sausage and my wife the stuffed French toast with bacon. Both were very good. I saw biscuits going to other tables that were the size of a softball. Some covered with gravy and heaping plates that looked awesome. Prices are very fair and portions are generous. That bacon was thick cut, cooked to perfection and tasted custom smoked. We will definitely be back as this is our new favorite when in Everett

When we went on a weekend, it was very quiet, too quiet, with moderate business and perhaps five tables occupied. This is our fourth West African restaurant in this area; all but one are a bit rough around the edges. The male server spoke only to my husband, despite me initiating the conversation and placing the order. Hello, the 21st century is calling! The food takes a while to be ready; they all do for some reason. This time we waited half an hour with a near empty restaurant. If you are hungry, order an appetizer. Generally speaking, the food is good, and the portions are generous. The Food: Dibi Afra or Grilled Lamb, $26.99 - 4.5 Stars Menu: Popular SeneGambian street food. Meat marinated in authentic heritage seasonings and char-grilled served with onions, spicy mustard, and salad. There is something comforting about a giant pile of chopped lamb, fantastically seasoned, served with onions and an excellent salad. I packed 2/3 of the lamb and onions to take home. Grilled Golden Pompano, $25.99 - 5 Stars Menu: Whole Golden Pompano either grilled or fried marinated with heritage seasonings The fish is perfectly grilled. The fried plantain, a pleasant surprise as it was not mentioned on the menu, was wonderfully fried. Both salads are superb too. Beef Fataya or Meat Pie, $9.99 - 3 Stars Menu: Savory Empanadas (3) with choice chicken, beef, seafood or vegetarian We order meat pies from all four West African restaurants we visited. This is the first time where the beef tasted wasn't seasoned or flavorful enough to eat by itself without sauce. Rather disappointed. Jollof Rice side, $9.99 - 4 Stars Ever since the first West African restaurant we visited told us jollof rice recipe is every family and every restaurant's secret, I have made it my mission to order it at every restaurant. I took a close-up photo to show the seasonings in the rice. Theirs is very good, and I'm glad they offer it as a side.

I got the Colcanon which honestly should just be advertised as breakfast for dinner. My partner got the bangers and mash which was banging (in a good way) but I feel like that's pretty hard to mess up. We were given plastic utensils due to a silverware shortage. Idk.

Bacon was good and crispy as well. 2) meat eater omelette. Boy was this packed with the means. Enough for a meat sweat! 3) vintage French toast fell flat for us. It has the nice exterior crust but the interior was not eggy. It felt like it was a sliced baguette dipped in corn flakes and fried. It needed to soak for a while in an egg custardy bath for that soft creamy texture. 4) kids cheese burger. The kids enjoyed it and I can't complain! It comes with a drink as well. Overall I would come back and try more of their menu. If you are in the downtown area give this place a try.
