    The onion Straws are outstanding!  We are half of them before the pic.  Huge portion!
    Drew G.

    Great ambience and a great menu and great food. We went to he Great Wolf Lodge and this place was recommended by a few people on FB. We really enjoyed it and the Salads were fantastic! We will come back. My wife loved her Strawberry Salad! My son had the Chopped Salad and it was amazing as well! I had the Hot Ham and Cheese and it was good (especially the pretzel bun) but next time I will get the Salmon Salad. The soup of the day was Lobster Bisque and it was very good as well.

    Fresh squeezed OJ. Yum!

    First time visitor. Great atmosphere with wonderful service. The chicken salad wrap was fresh and the chicken inside of it tasted amazing. The fresh squeeze orange juice also was delightful. Will definitely be back!

    My in laws brought us to Bucks Tavern to show off one of their favorite spots in the area. They usually sit at the bar, but it was a busy Saturday night and with four of us, there just wasn't room. We ended up waiting about 20-30 minutes for a table and hung out in the little entrance room where they had a few seats. We realized most people were hanging out in their cars and that was probably a better and warmer idea. Our server was friendly and grabbed waters and our other drink orders right away. We ended up ordering their version of mozzarella sticks (half moon shaped pieces) and stuffed mushrooms (deep fried and stuffed) for appetizers and both were great. I loved the house made sauces that paired with them. I ended up ordering the Italian Beef sandwich with extra giardiniera and a side caesar. The beef was really flavorful, but the sandwich started falling apart when I tried to eat it so I ended up going knife and fork with it. I think next time I'd order it with cheese like another Yelper did and maybe some Italian dressing so pour over. The giardiniera was delicious! My husband got the chicken fingers and french fries (they don't come as one meal) and ranch and the portions are very generous. He didn't end up finishing everything, but really enjoyed it. My FIL got the pot roast sandwich with a side chopped salad and my MIL just got the chopped salad. THey love this spot and especially the chopped salad. The server made sure our waters were full and checked on us frequently. The whole space feels like someone's basement with the decor and the food definitely has a more personal touch. The portions on everything were great and the pricing seemed about right for the area and what you receive. Would come back again!

    My husband and I wanted to try a restaurant that was new to us. We decided on Bucks Tavern because it was nearby and has a good rating on Yelp. We were seated right away and a server presented us with a menu and took our drink orders. The menu is small but everything sounded good. We ordered a soft pretzel as an appetizer and it was 3 soft pretzel sticks. It was very tasty. I ordered a cheeseburger with fries and my husband got a meatloaf with fries. We both really enjoyed our meals. The fries were excellent. The decor of the restaurant was very nice and welcoming.

    Bucks was recommended to me by some friends who work there in the kitchen, they hyped up the burger, you know I hada try it. I sat at the bar, bartender was cool, not a crazy craft draft list tho so I went with the bells ipa (rating on untapped) Only 2 burgers on the menu, plus the burger of the month, so I went with the bucks burger. Only comes with 2 toppings, i added pickle and onion. Came out relatively quick after looking around and enjoying the atmosphere with my drink. The burger was pretty good. Fries crispy, and the chili hit the spot. I prefer smash patty style more but one patty can be done right, example bucks. I wasn't blown away by the food, but the hunting/ homey atmosphere and excitement of the new burger of the month would bring me back.

    Demolished happy hour nonsense. Beautiful!

    The restaurant at the Golden Lamb came up silver for me, which is to say that it had a good showing…read morebut not quite the best. History and charm are hooks for this hotel and restaurant, and they deliver on those aspects. What was lacking for me was knock-your-socks-off food. The Sauerkraut balls were fine. The cocktail sauce the came with them was much better than the house mustard. The fried chicken was good. But I can't say that it was 5 star. The roasted turkey dinner had a lot of potential, but it fell in line with the rest of the dishes as leaving me wanting more "down home goodness." Rarely do my wife and I both turn down dessert in the same meal, but we had no reason to think that the dessert would differ from everything else, so we passed. Still, to be clear, nothing was bad. And the beautiful dining rooms are definitely a plus.

My friend got a cocktail which I tried and it was tasty and refreshing... I stuck with water and was happy with that. I ordered the chopped salad which was huge! It definitely lasted me two meals and although my photo doesn't exactly make it look like anything special, it was super tasty and filling. Especially with the rolls on the table as well. I saw another table get the lamb shank though and it made me want to drive back just to try it. It looks mouthwatering! Afterward we toured the hotel and got to see some of the famous rooms where former presidents and well known historical figures have stayed such as the Charles Dickens. Overall, a lovely experience and I hope to come back if I'm in the area.

    Lovely! We had eaten here a dozen or so years ago and I remember being sad that there was not…read morereally that much on the menu that qualified as Italian. But that was then and this is now, and the current hands-on owners give us a truly Italo-centric experience! It feels very European in here. All brick walls and an archway between the bar room and the dining room. Big wine rack in the dining room. The bar is also quite attractive and looks comfortable. I don't recall hearing any music but we were there at lunchtime on Sunday. Fire grilled artichokes grabbed me so we got this for an app. I admit I didn't read the description completely. The dish had seven little artichoke quarters drowning in Alfredo sauce. The artichoke was sweet and tender but all that sauce really overwhelmed it and this app is overpriced for the quantity. Later I realized we could have had them served with EVOO and parmesan which I would have much preferred. It was disappointing that the waitress didn't ask which preparation we wanted, and that the kitchen apparently did not ask her, either. Our two pasta dishes were delectable and the amount of protein was quite generous. We both loved our sauces, and the spicy Italian sausage (house made!) was out of this world. They sliced it nice and thin and there was so much, I was really in Heaven. The fettuccine and the capellini were done to perfect al dente. Our waitress did a great job and checked on us often. She was handling several tables and was constantly on the move but kept up well with all her guests. I was thrilled to see Limoncello cake on the dessert menu but a bit shocked at the high price. Of course it is possible you get a huge slice and I will definitely research this further next time! I plan on coming back, and soon.
