    Great little concession-like business!

    Great little concession-like business! It's like a race track trailer grille relocated into the city! Lots of options though we only tried the shakes on this day. We will be back and I will write a more complete review when we've tried the food!

    Big Bucko Burger

    Best food ever!! I would recommend to people who are not local to try it. Service is perfect always.

    Delicious! Great roadside stop. Cheeseburger and FF were delicious highly recommend. We had the ice cream as well great portions!

    The food is so good the seasoning is perfect and the chili is fantastic. The workers are so nice and loud so you can hear everything they say. I would recommend to come on a not hot but not cold day. It is next to the road but thats fine.

    bucko burger most of the way plus fries

    pretty sure that Buckos still has the best moose in town and the thatched roof over the patio tables is pretty swell too even if it doesn't block out all the noise from the truck and car stereo-types. The drive-up has a smaller version of the specials board with prices on it same as up front so you won't miss anything... kinda wish that you'd talk to the moose to place your order and at the same time kinda glad you don't. I took a pass on any form of hot doggery this time and got me a Bucko burger instead; combo adds fries and a beverage for a modest fee. Got my burger most of the way (no chili) because I prefer good to silly and I get to taste the other stuff on there: tomatoe, onion, pickles, slaw... the bun is pretty generic but keeps your fingers out of the messier bits of your food so that's a win. Said messier bits are of good quality, are assembled well, and keep their form throughout so I can't think of a good reason to add chili. Hot, crispy, seasoned fries are the perfect accompaniment and quite good even as they approach room temperature, never even felt the need to ketchup them. Not a meal for the ages but a meal for me none the less: rounding up for value, service, and the moose.

    Your hostesses need coaching on paying attention. Granted, I had a long day at work and just…read morewanted a descent meal. I walked at around 6:00 pm. Not busy by comparison to a Friday night. The hostess asked the number in the party. "Just me". There were plenty of tables available. After about 3-4 minutes of Fumbling around, (keep in mind they were not busy ). another hostess, with a long green scarf wrapped around her head to look like a gypsy, looked at me, took me around to the right side of the restaurant, and did not even bother to seat me at the table. The Following conversation below explains the reason I feel the way I feel. Keep in mind I was Asked if I wanted a Hi-top table. The hostess says. "Hi-top" ?? I said...." Sure...." She walks me past the bar towards the bathroom and sticks me a 2 seater table that was dark as crap. Not a hightop. So dark that I sat down and pulled out my phone in order to use the light to read the menu. I say.... "How about that table right there, pointing to the HIGH-Top in the bar... She says..." this is where I need to seat you for service.... ". ???? Since when can you not get service at a bar hightop??? I sit down.... I try to read the menu in the dark .. a waitress walks by me about 4 times ... no acknowledgment not even a how are you. Just walked past .... I get up and leave everything at the table and walk out .... so much for a decent meal and leaving a server a very decent tip. Never again .... I would not even post this if it had not been that this is the second time I've been to Duckworth's and service has just been horrendous. I'm not sure if it's because there is a group of regulars that go there and love the establishment, and gives them high scores but as someone who visits every now and then, and each time over the last six months has received horrible service I just don't understand. The food is not that great, and the service is even worse. I would not recommend this restaurant at any time of the day or night not until they can get either staffing needs straightened out or better food .

    We were attending a friend's car show on the Saturday of Father's Day weekend. We arrived a little…read moreearly so we can park at the show and walk to lunch. We came upon this place knowing it was in the area, and decided to try it. They allow you to seat yourself which is fine. They did not seem to be very busy at noon on a Saturday, but people were coming and going. All good. Our server came by quickly to ask about drinks and if we wanted any appetizers. We gave drink orders and said no to apps. It was the first time here, so I tend to look over the menu a little longer than usual, but, it was not that busy. The server came by to take our entree orders and we said we just need a few minutes to look over the menu. Within 1 minute, another server came by to take orders order. We said that we just told the server we need a couple minutes to look at the menu. I'm not sure what the rush was, but it made me feel like they must take orders immediately. For a casual place, with a great playlist by the way, they sure made me feel hurried. The first server came by in a good amount of time, so we finally placed our order. Our food came out pretty quickly. Everything looked really good. Nice portion sizes and the food was tasty. We got a summer lovin flatbread and the California panini chicken sandwich with a side of sweet potato fries. I wasn't too fond of the aoli. I thought it was a little thick. I think I would have preferred a honey mustard sauce for the fries. Also, the chicken was so thin on the sandwich you could hardly taste it. Sandwich was good but I expected more of a chicken cutlet as opposed to a flattened piece of chicken as you might get at the deli counter. My guy finished first, but I was still eating. The server comes by and asks what we're thinking for dessert. Again, rushed? I was still eating my lunch. We weren't ready to make that decision but now I wanted to finish and go, because, clearly it's the servers favorite table, and must have some attachment to it to be rushing the meal so much. I think the server needs to work on timing. If one in the party is still eating their food, would they really be discussing dessert yet? And to remind all who are reading: it wasn't a busy day yet. Only a few tables were occupied, so I will be docking a star for the service. Overall if not such a rushed experience, I would say: menu good, portions good, comfortable atmosphere. Nice place. Servers need extra training in timing and approach.

    my absolute favorite restaurant in Mooresville. I've been coming for so long it feels like home…read more the same great recipe for all the meals, the cocktails are fun and creative, and the patio is best during this time of year!
