The reason to go to Buckets is for their 50 cent winglets on Wednesday one flavor. The server just might end up being the bartender. Friendly and prompt service. If you order a side try sharing it, especially the onion rings or fries. The mixed drinks are pretty good . It's a bar with otb attached mostly working class customers friendly decent for families with child menu. read more

Wednesday Wing Day at Buckets Bar and Grill is the ticket! Just don't mind the little bit of a wait depending on the time you arrive...and you won't be disappointed! The food is good! There are seats at the bar, high tops, and tables, so just be patient and claim your place when one frees up. The servers will appreciate you. Our server, Makaya S. was amazing. She was friendly and attentive. We enjoyed our orders of traditional wings. My husband ordered his in Nashville Hot, but I opted for Mango Habanero for my flavor. Yummy! We shared fries, which were pretty good, just needed a little more salt. My husband really liked their sweet tea, but I enjoyed a refreshing Bold Rock Imperial Berry on draft! This sports bar & grill restaurant was busy, most likely due to the special on wings, but the arrival of our food orders to our table was so fast! Thanks to Buckets and your kitchen staff and notably quick servers for making Wednesday a great dining option for Chesapeake! read more

Came here on trivia night. It was t packed at all, but seemed to have a bunch of regulars. Anyway I was a little disappointed because the Thursday night special was a steak and they were out of it. So I had to settle for a burger. Overall the food wasn't anything special but it was decent. The atmosphere was pleasant and the people seemed to be friendly. I would come back just for the good vibes if not anything else. read more

Buckets Bar And Grill - Bars Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

This is a loud and boisterous sports bar. Friendly and there were kids here with some sort of bingo or trivia going on. I was able to tune it out and enjoy my dinner. A plate of chicken wings, hot buffalo, took about 25 minutes. A long time but the place was busy and I enjoyed two light beers while it took a while. The wings were fresh and hot, decently meaty and enjoyable, served with two pots of blue cheese and celery. Booths and tables and bar seating. If you're looking for a quiet meal, this isn't the spot. If sports and wings and beer is what you want, this is the spot. [Review 902 of 2025 - 1491 in Virginia - 24458 overall] read more

We went for the first time about a week ago and overall, we did like it. That said, the service was incredibly slow, especially considering the restaurant was nearly empty. Most of the food was good, but the cheeseburger was a big letdown. It was very dense and tightly formed, and felt like something that had been bought frozen and reheated rather than fresh. It didn't have that restaurant-quality texture or flavor you expect when going out to eat. In comparison, the smash burger was actually really good, so it's clear the kitchen is capable of making a solid burger. The cheeseburger also seemed completely unseasoned. It basically tasted like plain meat with ketchup, lettuce, and tomato, which made it even more disappointing. I'd definitely recommend sticking with the smash burger and skipping the regular cheeseburger. read more

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. read more

The service was amazing! The staff went above and beyond our expectations. The food and drinks were on point and the band was incredible (Buckshot) as always. read more

This is a casual bar / restaurant. I stopped in for lunch and was told to take any open booth or table. The waitress immediately took our drink order as we looked over the menu. I decided on the wings. Oh my were they so delicious. Try the Burbon Brown Sugar wings. Several weeks later , I stopped in for lunch again and tried their Crispy Buffalo Chicken sandwich.. I am looking for sampling other offerings. It's my recommendation that afternoons for lunch is best as evenings tend to be much more crowded. Karaoke ,and or ,live music can make it difficult to hold conversations with others in your party. Great staff, fantastic food in a casual atmosphere make this a great stop. read more

We were looking for a new wing spot and this is the place to go especially on Wednesdays! On Wednesdays it is only 50 cents per wing and $1 bud light drats. The wings were amazing! My favorite was the bourbon brown sugar wings. The service was since we went early, but if you go at night then good luck since it gets extremely packed. The waitress checked on us often and made sure we had our drinks filled at all times. I had the bucket crush and it was made well! I do not think anything can beat this deal! read more

Service was fast and friendly. Had chicken wings which were fantastic (we had the Old Bay dry rub wings). Good selection of draft beers. The only con we experienced was children running around like it was a child care facility and the parents encouraging them.... read more

Buckets may have good drinks but avoid their food. It's like someone with no culinary background threw together some ingredients and called it a day. The cheese fries were just shredded cheese and bacon, the burger was a from a frozen pack, and the mac n cheese had enough grease on it you could use it in your car. Perhaps try a drink, but for food it would taste better to pick up frozen appetizers from the grocery. read more

Buckets seems to be designed for an older crowd. It's your standard sports bar atmosphere. The night that I went, there was karaoke which was entertaining to listen to. The food was pretty good ( I had a really good burger) and so were the cocktails. Prices were average. If you are trying to meet people, I wouldn't necessarily recommend this place. It was mostly families, couples, and older folk. I can also say that our waitress was not particularly friendly but attentive enough. If you are looking for a spot for a casual meal, it's a safe bet. read more

This is probably hands-down one of my favorite places to go to every Friday night. I really do look forward to coming here on Friday nights unfortunately during softball season I'm not able to go as often because I'm playing softball but when I'm able to go, my favorite part is singing karaoke being able to sing And have some good drinks and enjoy some good food with some good people. I can actually say this is one of my favorite karaoke bars in Virginia since I've been here. read more

First, understand that I love this place. Service is always great here. I usually stop by to have an adult beverage or two and order dinner to go. Haven't been by for quite some time and was sadly disappointed again. Ordered steak bites, medium rare, and salad to go. Salad was okay... hard to "f" that up but the streak bites were even worse than the last time I ordered them months ago. About half of them were nothing but un chewable grizzle. Seasoned right but disappointing. If y'all have steak you don't want to serve as an entree, just trash it. Don't reimagine it as an appetizer and feed people crap. read more

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! read more

Buckets Bar And Grill - 12 Wings (Mango and Nashville Hot) and a Reuben with plenty of Hot Fries! - Bars Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

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! read more

We go in frequently for the wing Wednesday special. Wings come out quickly and are hot. Service is great considering how busy they are. If you order anything additional such as fries expect them to come out well after your wings, due to the fryers being utilized for the massive amount of wings they are producing... I would like to see more variety in dry rubs. Expect a decent wait time, and try to limit your group to 4 or less.... I would give a 5 star but I think there is always room for improvement! Highly recommend! read more

A lively and fun stop on any night of the week, with a different special each night from Wings to Crushes. Food is good and the menu filled with your typical tavern food. I recommend the Dry Rub Wings and the Bacon & Cheese Sammie. Friday night is great fun with Karaoke in play - the crowd is supportive and forgiving of newbies just finding their chops while the K-vets rock the house. When I'm in the mood for 'fun and friendly' where the vide is light and easy - it's Buckets. read more

Used to go for food all the time. Now the menu has changed recently and not for the better. Prices have shot up. $18 for some chicken nuggets called boneless? Unfortunately if you mention any of this on social media, they will delete the comments and block you. Not the way to handle things. The service is always good regardless. read more

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

If you are looking for a legit buffalo wing you have found the perfect place! My husband and I found out on Wednesdays the wings are .50 each, minimum of 12. You can choose 2 flavors for each 12 piece wing meal. They have several to choose from. We are empty nesters so we go after 7pm, as this place gets super busy on wing night. The service is spot on and the wings come out quickly! For tonight I tried one of their bucket drinks $13, the tropical bucket, it wasn't too sweet and I enjoyed it with the spicy wings we chose. We absolutely love the lemon pepper, mango habanero, teriyaki and the garlic. We like a little heat but they have several flavors that are spicier. Take note that this special is only available for dine in. We had to get a side order of their fries, whoa what a serving! These are soooo good, you must get them. We've been here several times and have not had a bad meal here! We love the personalized service and the great food! You will not be disappointed! read more

Very busy due to $.65 wing day. Staff was very attentive. We ordered 12 wings. 6 teriyaki and 6 sweet chili. They were awesome! Would definitely recommend Buckets. read more

Food was on point & atmosphere is welcoming. Drinks are made well. Not too overcrowded but small enough to have a good time.

Great wings and cheese fries! I have yet to have a bad experience there, and I've been going since they opened!

This is a place to get some great wings. My favorite drink by far is the tropical bucket. The decor is on point for a sports bar. Service is a bit slow but they are friendly. read more

We haven't had a bad thing yet! Some of our favorites are the fries, burger, steak bites and donuts with raspberry sauce. Quick and friendly service. There is always something going on there, so check their Facebook page for nightly events. read more

I am so upset and disappointed in this bar. We went on Friday night for karaoke. First: the karaoke DJ was the worst I have witnessed in the FOUR states I have lived in. Never ONCE I have gone to karaoke where the DJ does not put the karaoke requests IN ORDER. He played what he wanted in the order he wanted then did 30 minutes of slide music where he lost half the bar. Second: the bar itself was terrible. We bought one round when we first got there and it took 15 minutes for them to cash us out. Second round of drinks (we were each paying for one round so we paid out each time) they took another 15-20 minutes before anyone even came to SEE if we wanted another round. The last round........ we went to pay out, the server left, no one bothered us until we insisted that we wanted to pay our tab!! Wow. Worst service EVER. We could have walked out of the bar without paying and absolutely no one would have known. Will not go back and do not recommend. read more

Went for wings the other night and let me tell you they are awesome. The new breaded wings are fire. My favorite are Hot Honey and Old Bay. read more

Stopped in for like lunch at this absolutely average bar and grill. This place is as basic as basic gets. they should change the name to avocado bar and grill. The decor and atmosphere was exactly the same as every other pub in the area. The food was of the exact same ( but still good) quality as every other pub. I will come again. The prices are average the food is decent. It's not great. Of course the menu said my BLT was "piled high" which meant for slices. I may have called it piled medium but hey it was only ten bucks. If I was to rate them against the other places close by. They blow red bones out of the water, but red bones sucks. It's not as crowded as woodies and more socially interactive than chilli's. The don't hold up lockside but lockside is more expensive. All and all it is what it is, and average place. read more

they run out of wings on wednesdays 50 cent wings. came all the way from va beach just to be disappointed and told upon arrival that they weren't taking anymore orders due to them not being sure if they could fulfill their current orders in the kitchen. i called to confirm 50 cent wings today prior to coming over here and the person on the phone didn't mention anything about running out. read more

Big disappointment. The wings were old and warmed up again when I ordered. Not only could I taste the difference but when I arrived the wings were ready but the loaded fries were not. Speaking of the fries, they sucked too. I had high hopes because this place had good reviews. There's a place about a block or two down the road from this place, on the same side of the road that has much better wings, fries and even pizza. That's where I will go next time I'm in town. read more

I've loved coming to Buckets for years. The atmosphere is welcoming and the food and drinks are great. I love their crushes; they have orange, peach, pineapple, and blackberry. We love their steak bites, mac & cheese bites, spinach dip, buffalo chicken wrap, and more. Tonight my husband got his favorite: the Uncle Sam burger, and I got crabcakes with French fries. A lot of weekend nights a live band plays. Good food, great drinks, awesome bar! read more

Went to Buckets to participate in degenerate Breeders Cup gambling activities. Bartender "Ross" was delightful and fueled the day with those delicious tropical buckets that made me feel two decades younger than I am. The slow jamz pouring from the speakers was an interesting compliment to the horse racing ambiance and the buffalo chicken wrap was delicious. If I'm ever in the area or at the bail bond next door, I will not hesitate to return! read more

After getting back late from a funeral we decided to order in. We waited a whole hour for our food (mind you it's 10:30pm) we were delighted that Buckets Bar And Grill was open and that we could finally eat. When our DoorDasher came to pick up the food she was told they had already closed. (On their door it said open till 2am) so either their hours are not accurate. Or they just refused to serve. Every other place was already closed since I waited so long for this place. Long story short I wasted/saved money by starving myself today. #eatsleep read more

Buckets Bar And Grill - The worst mixed drinks you will ever taste! - Bars Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

After having a horrible experience at another chain restaurant yesterday, the wife and I decided to try and find a good local place for food. We had been to Sunrise next door before, and when we noticed Buckets next door, we decided to come back and give it a try. The decor inside was simple, but effective. It's a seat yourself kind of place, so we picked a booth and sat down. Our server was quick to bring us menus and take our drink orders. There were only two servers, and they were doubling as bartenders and a decently populated bar, so their speed and attentiveness was much appreciated. My wife ordered the Classic Cheeseburger, and I ordered the boneless garlic parmesan wings. Food came out quickly, and man was it good. The burger was perfectly cooked and the hand cut fries were delicious. If I had one complaint, it's that the boneless wings were chicken tenders cut up, and not what you would typically consider boneless wings. That being said, they were really good, and there was a ton of flavor in the garlic Parmesan sauce. Overall we had a very pleasant experience here, and I fully expect us to visit again. read more
