(And yes, that includes this morning when I drove all the way across town like a woman on a seafood mission.) This is the kind of business I love to support...small, family-owned, and absolutely passionate about what they do. Jim and his crew catch the fish themselves in Alaska, get it packaged and flown to Arizona, and then somehow manage to bring coastal-level freshness right into the middle of the desert. You'll usually spot him at Uptown Farmer's Market (bring a cooler...you'll want to stock up), but he also shows up roadside now and then like a seafood fairy godfather. And he's delivered larger orders right to my door in the past. Who does that anymore?! Jim does. Favorites? Halibut, cod, red snapper, and the smoked salmon which is basically a religious experience. Oh...and halibut cheeks. Trust me. A total delicacy. Never to be forgotten! The fish is always firm, clean, fresh, and so flavorful it barely needs seasoning. Jim's even been known to share a killer recipe if you're not sure what to make. Tonight? Halibut's on the menu and I might be eating early...because I've been craving it for weeks.

I usually ask for half romaine and half rice. The last two times they forgot to add the rice, and today when I ordered, I didn't receive the romaine lettuce at all.

I'm hoping they can pay closer attention to the details because I really do like their salads and would love to keep coming back.

At the end of the evening, they also brought out their delicious macarons as a birthday gift. Such thoughtful touches. Our server was polished, warm, knowledgeable, and completely on top of everything. I started with a sampling of oysters, and each one was superb. My friend, who is not a seafood person, ordered the NY strip, and it was excellent: well seasoned and cooked perfectly. I had the soft-shell crab roll as a smaller main course. It arrived noticeably after my friend's steak, but the restaurant handled it beautifully. They comped it without us asking, and the manager came over to chat with us. He was delightful and circled back again at the end of the evening. Between the beautiful patio, excellent food, and genuinely friendly staff, Buck & Rider made my birthday dinner feel special. We had a fantastic evening.

It had been quite some time since I had last been, and my most recent visit didn't disappoint. Every time I've ever been here, it's always been busy during the dinner rush, but service has always remained quick and attentive. It certainly isn't what I would call a "fine dining" experience, but it's upscale enough and has good enough food to feel like a meaningful night out with family, friends, or your partner. For an appetizer, we enjoyed their bread and butter, which was fantastic. The bread also came with olive oil and seasonings to dip it in, which was also very tasty. For dinner, I enjoyed their grilled cod with French and sweet potato fries, as well as coleslaw. While the fish was slightly overcooked, the meal overall was still delicious, filling , and well worth the trip back to High Tide. Definitely swing in if you've never been!

I had ice tea and wife ordered the blood orange jenny drink; both were great and refreshing! I also ordered a loaf of their warmed sourdough and butter to share with the table. Almost like being in San Francisco! For dinner we decided to share a couple of things; the crab cakes, which comes with fried avocado and some of the best aioli for dipping. The cakes themselves are big and full of crab with just the right amount of filling to create a decadent and moist cake! We also shared the seared jumbo scallops...High Tides knows how to cook scallops to the best! So yummy and tender and perfectly cooked with that crispy outer and the soft, creamy inside. We also shared a Caesar salad and one of the things we love about this place...ask and you can get some fresh anchovy on the side to add to the salad. Wife always asks for more lemon as well to drizzle over the salad. Overall a fantastic dinner for us and everyone with us!

Seafood boils are one of my favorite foods of all time, and it's extremely hard to mess it up…read more However, I was very underwhelmed with the food here tonight. Some of the items were very overcooked and lacked adequate seasoning, plus not to mention, but our waitress got a few items in the order wrong. We've been going to angry crab for many years now, but this was our first time at this location. I think we have been spoiled with the Mesa location, which is always consistent. It's nice to see that they are expanding, but hopefully they can keep their quality more consistent.

Let me preface this review by saying we will be back here. The food was insanely good but the…read moreservice was lacking. It was our first time at a Korean barbecue place. The only prior knowledge I had about KBBQ before coming here was that you cook the meat yourself. We were confused on what was included in our menu option and we did not receive much guidance from our server. We asked how things were served but she said that it was confusing and hard to explain. This was really off putting. The servers were all very kind though. They were quick with our requests throughout the night but seemed to not be well organized. The food was AMAZING once we finally did order. It took a while for us to get started though because we did not understand the process. We finally deduced from our disjointed conversations that meats and certain sides are included in the $32 option. You can order 3 meats at a time and sides for everyone. After the food started coming out we began to enjoy ourselves. We ordered the regular and spicy bugolgi (these were the favorites), spicy octopus, shrimp and cinnamon pineapple. For sides we got fried rice, ramen, kimchi and potstickers. We were rushed into getting a new grill top and didn't understand why, but after the next round it was made extremely clear. The grill top needs to be changed out frequently because if it's not the oil and food remnants will burn. This wasn't much of a problem until we began cooking the spicy meats. The spices permeated the air and started choking us. We were coughing on hot pepper air and had to request a new grill top instead of being asked if we were ready to switch. This is how we realized we were the only seated table without a vent above our grill. Again the food here was great. Aside from the cinnamon pineapple. That was dry and unripe. It needed a glaze of some sort and the fruit itself was too hard. Everything we ordered was brought out quick and was nicely presented. We had tried to order veggie tempura but they were 86ed so they added some veggies on our meat platters which was much appreciated! I know we were a super needy table so thank you to everyone there. They were all very accommodating and helpful whenever we made a request. They seemed to be pretty short staffed so they took care of us well for how busy they were. I just wish we would've been given clearer instructions in the beginning so we would've known what to expect. We would go again though.

Plenty of parking is available and the lot is well lit . Will we go there again? ABSOLUTELY!!! I'd say the only sticking point was it was somewhat noisy with the hard scape trend. It was a delightful evening.

For our entrees we did the Fish n Chips and Blackberry Salmon, BOTH WERE INCREDIBLE! The fish and chips is a single filet which was light and perfectly cooked with fresh fries. The salmon was cooked through and remained moist and really flavorful, it was the absolute perfect meal we were looking for! I can't believe it took me so long to try this little hidden gem, we'll definitely be back.....soon!

This time I decided to try something else and tried the Slow Roasted Prime Rib French Dip as well as sharing the Grilled Shrimp Cocktail which I had previously and it's always delicious. My friend ordered the Some Like it Hot burger without the bun. The French Dip was the best I ever had - absolutely mouthwatering and what was I thinking of only ordering salad previously! I tasted my friend's burger and it was top notch. The fries were so delicious and I'm one who usually avoids fried food but I have been craving them since. The food is really what speaks to me in this establishment. The atmosphere is that of a sports bar without windows but the main ceiling is pretty high. It's definitely a sports bar with a separate Football Menu. There is usually live music or Trivia which was on the last night I was there. It's a great casual place for Gold Canyon residents/snow birds to gather. The service is always impeccable and you will always be greeted to the door and offered a table. Servers are quite attentive to the patrons.

This last visit will be the last time I dine here. We went yesterday a little after 3 pm, the place was maybe a 1/4 full. Oyr server was nice enough and took our order fairly quickly. I ordered a Bloody Mary based on it first time dining here, what a dissappointment; putting three green olives on a toothpick is really lame, especially at $12. Our food took forever, well over 40 minutes. At one point I asked our server what was going on, she gave a lame excuse which makes me think someone messed up. None of our burgers came out as ordered; we ordered them medium and they were all well done. They had no flavor, just really not good. So, that's the final straw for me here.
