    If you like BIG chicken burgers then this is the place for you! I was amazed at how small the bun looked compared to the chicken breast. The chicken was cooked really well and went down a treat as it came with fries. Definitely would recommend to anyone visiting Glasgow if they like to eat big.

    Buck's is a rock and roll pub you need in your life!! It's a tribute to classic rock, spicy American style chicken (I highly recommend the chicken and waffles), hot sauces, and great times! The staff were hard working, friendly, and fantastic! Shout out to Connor who went above and beyond with hospitality. I would recommend booking a table online for the weekends, especially if you have more than 2 people in your party, just so you don't miss out on this experience! A must try in Glasgow!

    Visited on 7th August 2021. Had a wonderful experience visiting Buck's Bar for the first time and would definitely return and recommend to others as the service and food was good. We didn't have a booking, but still the wonderful staff found us a table and we were sat outside which we didn't mind. The table was cleaned for us and the service (by Ross) as amazing. Friendly but chill at the same time - just lovely. He is a vibe himself! Food arrived in a very timely manner and I had the best waffles I've ever had, the chicken was tasty as well. The portion size was a bit too big for me and I took half of it home. Would be great to have an option for 1/2 portions (2 pieces of waffle with 2 pieces of chicken?). The outside table was a bit noisy and the tables are arranged on a slope which wasn't as comfortable as it could be, hence the 4 star rating.

    Food tastes just amazing. Place has an American vibe. Rock music brilliant. Great atmosphere. Shame you only get an hour and a half though. Would have stayed all night. Pic of food attached. Michael Bergson has knocked it off with these places. Superb and well priced

    A really cool restaurant with great food, good service, and a nice atmosphere. They play rock music in the highly decorated restaurant! I had The King Burger - a large chicken burger with sweet chili jam and satay sauce. The chicken burger is pretty big, it sticks well out of the bun. The flavours of the sauces were a nice combination that worked well together. The waitress was very friendly and the food was served after just 10 minutes even though the restaurant was fairly busy for lunch. Make sure you go to this place hungry because the portions are big. Perfect place to eat before exploring the attractions of Glasgow City center.

    Salt 'n' Chili Chicken Burger is great! Waffle and Chicken with syrup is tasty but too sweet for me. Marple Chicken Wing has the same problem, it is too sweet. The Oreo milkshake is like melted Oreo Ice cream hhh. But in general I still like this restaurant, especially the burger.

    Flippin amazing! Burgers were massive but the star was the maple onion wings, amazingly crunchy with wonderful sweet maple flavours in every bite. The staff were really friendly and accommodating. Be prepared to be stuffed if you come here!

    Phenomenal food from friendly, helpful and attentive staff! Some of the best buttermilk chicken I've ever had!! Their selection of stupidly hot sauces is pretty impressive aswell! Just be careful tho as I had to buy 1 of their excellent milkshakes to cool the mouth down! Certainly be back very soon!

    Massive delicious chicken burgers with a great variety of flavours & choices. Cool vibe inside & friendly staff. It is out family go to for birthday’s as we all love it. My go to’s are the Buck Mac & the Ninja. I got the King this time round which was so delicious. It’s got a good kick to it if you like spice. I also really love the wings! This time round I tried the buckles but I wasn’t a huge fan. Definitely worth a try. This one is the best branch, I’ve been to the other’s but they’re not even as close as being as good.

    The staff here were so lovely. We arrived without a booking and it was very busy but they still found us a table for 40 minutes. Our food came out super fast too which was surprising. I wanted to be adventurous with my order but didn’t like my meal as the combinations didn’t go well together (Mac and cheese and syrup waffles) in my opinion. But my friend loved her meal. I’d definitely go back again and try one of their burgers!

  • 4/5 Reo L. 1 year ago on Google
    As an American this place was great! The food is really massive size American portions so you will not be disappointed. It has a nice atmosphere with good vibes. My husband and I came here because I saw it had good reviews and some coworkers recommended it to me. At first the guy at the front couldn't find our reservation but it was resolved quickly. You definitely need to make a reservation! We got there on time but our table wasn't ready. I think we waited about 10mins before it was ready. The bartender was nice and friendly. We got our table and ordered drinks from the waitress. She was really nice as well. The drink I ordered however was a strawberry mojito, something I never had before. It was a beautiful looking drinking but it was nasty and kinda heavy because of the strawberry puree' so I sent it back and got one of the massive milkshakes instead. It was fantastic! I had a Nutella mixed with oreo and omg yes, is all I can say! The chicken sandwiches were not only huge but tasted amazing as well! We also had the maple glazed chicken wings and those were amazing as well. Never had something like that! I highly recommend you go there if you want something with a decent price but good food. I think we spent about £48 and that included 2 pints of Tennants, a shake, 2 chicken sandwiches with fries and 4 chicken wings. I only give 4 stars because the drink that I sent back that I didn't like still ended up on the bill and when I said something to the waitress she told the manager, not sure but it was the guy at the front seating people. Anyway, he came to our table and asked if there was anything wrong with the drink. I said no I just didn't like it. It wasn't my thing. Then he kinda just looked up like he was gonna say something about me paying for it and I'm like I'm not paying for something I didn't like. I took maybe 2 sips and my husband took 2 sips and we didn't like it! It was basically a full glass! Anyway, he said he would take it off the bill this time and we paid for everything else. Don't expect people to pay for something they barely touched and didn't like. That kinda made me 50/50 on going back. I may give it a go another time. We shall see.

    Excellent. I absolutely love the food here. Second visit and somehow it topped the first. The halloumi is the best I've had anywhere! 5 stars isn't enough.

  • 5/5 Kenneth H. 4 years ago on Google
    Both locations are amazing. Really good food and drink. Also usually has good music.

    This place is like a little taste of Nashville tucked away in Glasgow, Scotland!!!! I truly enjoyed the food, the service, everything!

  • 5/5 Jonathan J. 4 years ago on Google

  • 1/5 Hamza A. 4 years ago on Google
    Cheese on burger tasted terrible. Extremely painful stomach after. Would not recommend.

  • 5/5 York R. 1 year ago on Google
    Insanely good chicken restaurant. Massive portions, great value, fast service, good play list. Gets really busy though, unsurprisingly, so booking always recommended

  • 5/5 19MW84 4 years ago on Google
    The best chicken I've ever tasted

  • 3/5 Graham w. 2 years ago on Google
    Chicken burger was amazing, salt n chilli chips were rotten. Not like me to leave food but couldn't eat them at all. Thought when the waitress removed the box she would as if we enjoyed it but never so didn't get the chance to let her know. To be fair staff were all really nice but was disappointing.

  • 5/5 Chris N. 2 years ago on Google
    Can't speak for the place itself, but ordered food from here and it was good enough to warrant coming to review. Delicious, great servings, and delivered hot. Well worth a visit if dining in is anything like delivery.

  • 5/5 Jan K. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is hands down an EASY 10/10. First the food: I went for the classic 3 pieces of chicken over a waffle and picked the maple syrup as recommend by one of the waiters. I went over there during the busy hours (15:00) and waited for the meal like 7 minutes, are ya kidding me!? The chicken is perfectly tender, the meat is clearly of good quality (no joints or ligaments or any other bs) + the taste... Lemme tell ya, I don't like spicy food that much but it was just the right volume of hot, ya ken? Mixed with the fresh waffle glazed generously with maple syrup, + a chill pint of Tennet's made my day. Secondly, the place: cozy, keeping a pleasant atmosphere, with music, maybe a wee bit too loud for my taste but still enjoyable. Last and MOST important: the staff. All, and I mean ALL the chaps were going out of their way to make your meal enjoyable. Attentive but not overwhelmingly present, they work like bees in a hive. I've observed them for quite some time and noticed that no customer was unattended at any time, whenever someone left the premises, they would immediately jump to clean the table THOROUGHLY. Polite at all times, even speaking very highly of their boss (HUGE well done to the boss lady who runs the place!), I genuinely wish there were more such waiters in the place I come from. If you're around in Glasgow and you do allow yourself to eat a wee bit not that healthy from time to time, do NOT miss this gem of a place, I HIGHLY recommend it!

  • 5/5 Vignesh M. 1 year ago on Google
    I tried the King burger with Salt and Chilli chips. It was one of the best burger i had in the recent times. The variety of combinations they have with burgers is mind-blowing. The tried the chicken waffle with mac and cheese which was also one of the noticeable dish we had. It was an awesome experience and would visit again for sure.

  • 5/5 Daniel S. 1 year ago on Google
    We absolutely loved Bucks Bar. We were headed home to Edinburgh but so many friends had recommended this place that we had to pop in before we got out train. The friendly staff found my partner, my son and I a booth and took our drinks orders promptly, the atmosphere was great and the staff were very friendly. When we did order our food it was out to us swiftly, especially considering they were very busy on a Friday lunchtime. I had the Nashville hot chicken, I was worried it would be too hot so just want for the 2 chilli version, but next time I think I'd go one hotter, my larger had an amazing chicken mac'n'cheese and waffles and my son had a burger and fries the size of most of his body! It was all delicious! I also had a coke float for sheer nostalgia and my son had an epic looking nutella milkshake. We'll be back next time we are visiting Glasgow!

  • 5/5 Sarah L. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely atmosphere for Valentine’s Day, the lighting really set the vibe. All staff super friendly, helpful and very quick. We didn’t have to wait long at all. The food is absolutely amazing and the portion sizes are huge. Reasonably priced as well. Would 100% recommend this wee place, 5*.

  • 4/5 craig p. 7 months ago on Google
    Visited after previously visiting the other premises at Trongate. Food is always on par and options available for even the fussiest of eaters. Would recommend phoning ahead and booking a table. Although happy to be seated after a walk in, being sat outside in a wind tunnel wasn't the greatest experience. Gladly received the warm food giving us a heat. Cocktails are decent but as summer ends was too cold to hang about outside. Will definitely be inside next time.

  • 5/5 Andrew M. 8 months ago on Google
    Good vibes in this bar Food was superb. Service and staff both decent. Tunes perfect. Great atmosphere. Reasonable priced with big portions. Gets pretty busy at weekends so I would book ahead Looking forward to my next visit

  • 3/5 Tezni B. 5 months ago on Google
    Was expecting more from this venue, but was quite disappointed. Chicken was nothing special, a little tough if anything. Food generally came out luke-warm at best. Had the chocolate cake for desert, would not recommend — stodgy & freezing cold. General good vibe in the venue, even if service was a little slow. Drinks are good, so maybe visit just for that!

  • 5/5 Daniel K. 7 months ago on Google
    The best chicken burgers in Glasgow. Services was so friendly and everything arrived promptly despite the restaurant being full. Our cocktails were delicious and there is a great selection including hard shakes. Portion sizes are great and you may struggle to finish everything but to go boxes are provided. The rock and roll vibe was perfect with lots of good music and excellent decor of band prints covering the walls. Can't fault this place and excited to go back again soon.

  • 5/5 connor s. 4 years ago on Google
    Good music, cheery staff, service is unrivalled, and the chicken I'm pretty sure can take you to Nirvana.

    Food was excellent

  • 5/5 Mick M. 3 years ago on Google
    Food out of here is always class. They make sure and take care of you by slipping a few extra in when the chicken wings are tiny due to the covid19 stopping the personal trainers from visiting the chicken farms. You can't get the spiciest wings to take away which is a bit of a shame but i assume thats because big Leo likes to watch people from the back while they suffer from his saucy torture. The Nashville hot chicken out of here is on another level too. Don't know if its authentic, but its hardly going to stop you from enjoying some of the tastiest spice sweats you can get. Tldr: go to this place and enjoy some of the best chicken Glasgow has.

    Delicious food and drink at Bucks Bar. The chicken burger was immense! It's a busy place though so don't expect to have your table for long.

  • 5/5 Brian H. 4 years ago on Google
    First time there and will deffo be going back best fried chicken I have ever had ????

  • 5/5 cameron c. 5 years ago on Google
    Popped in for lunch, didn't have a reservation but the staff were great. They were able to give us a table for an hour. I had the Sunday Classic, chicken and waffles. I'm not exaggerating when I say that was the best prepared chicken/waffles I've had in Glasgow. The Bloody Mary was also perfection. Will be back. Well priced food. Great atmosphere. Family friendly.

  • 5/5 Olly 4 years ago on Google
    What a holy place to fried chicken. This is where Aphrodite would go should it have been open in ancient times. The chicken is an offering to the gods and the sauces are a sacrifice to Hades. Reccomend all the way.

  • 5/5 Al M. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Naresh M. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Phil B. 5 years ago on Google
    Yes Buck’s YUUUUUUUUUSSSS that’s what I’m talking about, proper fried chicken, proper grub in a proper great venue with awesome staff. Love your selection of hot sauces, highly recommend a side of popcorn chicken, that’s the stand out dish for me! Specials on a Tuesday for £6 too ? oh and dog friendly

  • 5/5 Austin M. 4 years ago on Google
    This place was truly fantastic. I took a mini vacation to Glasgow and found this gem just around the corner from my hotel. The reviews were stellar, and turned out to be absolutely spot on. The chicken was really amazing, the mac and cheese made me think of home, and it had been awhile since I had skinny fries. Service was great and the decor made it a fun but cozy place to hang and eat. Absolutely would go again, and highly recommend.

  • 4/5 Jamie C. 4 years ago on Google
    There is no disappointment in Bucks Bar, this is definitely worth multiple visits. If Man Vs Food came to the UK, this place would without a doubt be on it, with some of the best chicken available and delicious sides. The food is large and tasty and presented great! the atmosphere is excellent, and the prices are good for the amount of food and service received.

  • 5/5 Kelly W. 4 years ago on Google
    Big portions and good variety, always a good time to be had in bucks bar!

  • 4/5 Adam W. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice place, friendly staff, good atmosphere and amazing chicken! The portions are massive, great value and the food tastes superb. They also have an OK range of beer, and serve Tennents :) Would definitely recommend! However, one thing I will add is that the live music can often ruin the experience as it's almost always far too loud. It completely distracts from the food and company when you are unable to speak to the person opposite you. We leave review cards every time saying this but unfortunately it never improves.
