Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Had a fantastic meal at 10pm on Monday the 24th August. Food was delicious and the servers were on point. My mother whomst i was treating to a meal wasn't feeling very good the entire day and at the end of our meal we asked if we could have the food in a bag to take home. The server was very happy to do this and off she went. A few minutes later she came back apologising very sincerely that she put the food down for one minute in the kitchen and someone had already put it in the bin. A complete mistake with no one to blame for but with half a meal gone to waste that would have been eaten and having to pay full price for it, it was a bit saddening. Never the less we will be back as this is our first negative experiance at Bucks bar! Highly reccomended

Hi Darren,
Thank you so much for your review. I am happy to read that you've enjoyed the food and service at Buck's.
I can only apologise for the mistake that has happened - it's definitely been a bit of miscommunication on our part.
I do hope that we see you again soon!

Glasgow in lockdown was deserted and a double for a Zombie apocalypse movie set. Bucks Bar was a little shining beacon in the darkness and horrific wet weather, a culinary oasis with a terrific take out menu for collection in person or delivery via their Trongate location. Our hotel was just a block away so collection in person was the order of the day. The Buttermilk chicken and fries was fantastic and great value. The only minor complaint is that there was no knife in the delivery bag received. Come on guys, don’t let a pandemic turn us into savages :)

You know when you build a place up in your head and it doesn't live up to it....well this does. Huge portions and good service, 3 huge bits of fried chicken on waffles, smothered in gravy, with a coiple of cold pints. If your not down with that don't even talk to me. The wife couldn't even finish her burger and fries and she's got a massive mooth.
5 stars aint enough you beautiful bastards🐔👌

Me and my partner received 60 pounds worth of vouchers from my family, so we could have our dinner and cocktails here as a gift. We have been before and it’s a great atmosphere, good music and lovely food. However, on Friday night we were hoping to stay a bit longer that one hour. We had finished our meal and were given the dessert menu, which we were about to pick something from until the waitress informed us they needed the table. Instead of offering us another place to sit we were told we could stand at the bar. Baring in mind we had only been here for one hour and wanted to have a dessert and more drinks. We still had 20 pounds worth of vouchers left, when we asked if we could be refunded for that amount, they told us they couldn’t. Bit annoying as we were basically kicked to the curb. Ended up sitting in the smoking area having our drinks.

Hi,
Thank you for your positive feedback on your previous visits. I'm glad you enjoy the food and atmosphere!
I'm very sorry to read that your experience this time did not match. Our tables for two are normally only reserved for 1 hour and 15 minutes and we do try to explain this as much as possible through our booking system when the tables are booked online. It's unfortunate you were not made aware and I can only apologise for this.
Unfortunately - due to our vouchers being to the value of £10, we wouldn't be able to offer a refund - you'd just be able to use the vouchers on another occasion. I am sorry that this hasn't been explained in full to yourself and your partner.
I really hope this experience hasn't changed your opinion of Buck's Bar and that we'll be able to welcome you again soon. Please let us know if you're booking a table, that you'd like more time. Our staff will do as much as possible to extend this for you.
Thank you again for your kind words relating to your previous visits.

Always wanted to try Bucks Bar. Heard mixed reviews from friends and family. The pictures and advertising look delicious...
...it was quite disappointing!
The slab of chicken on each roll was enormous. You could bring actually bring a spare roll and split it down the middle.
The Salt n Chilli Burger was pretty much Chinese curry sauce on a slab of poor mans KFC chicken. It was also quite spicy with evidence of enough red chillis to the point you start thinking they’re deliberately going over the top. Maybe just my luck though?!
The Mothership burger was decent. More plain in terms of flavour but still tasty enough.
Don’t get me wrong, the chicken is thoroughly cooked, thick yet quite tender. The chips weren’t too impressive (Salt & Chilli & Skinny Fries) but the saving grace was the milkshakes. Didn’t think £4 was that expensive for a popular city centre establishment and they were pretty excellent. Both fairly sweet tasting. (Nutella & Strawberry) Both flavours absolutely recommended.
Obviously the tunes are jammin’ even when you’re just waiting on a takeaway!

Amazing food, as usual and the staff are usually very pleasant and I couldn’t fault a thing however this time we felt a little rushed? Booked a table for 3 was told when we booked it was an hour and 30 mins allocated. That’s completely fine and justified given everything going on and we know Bucks is a busy establishment and very popular. 45 minutes into our booking, we had finished food and as the plates were cleared we asked if we could have more drinks to which the waitress responded I’ll see how long you have left on your table and just disappeared....then there was a lot of pointing and it felt very uncomfortable all of a sudden. She then returned and went yes you can have your drink, repeated them back to us and went is that all? We said yes then our drinks arrived and 3 different staff proceeded to ask us if we were okay and if we needed the bill, only an hour into the booking. So we paid the bill and then a waitress came over again asking if we’d like the bill. We responded that we’d paid and she went oh ok that’s great. We felt so uncomfortable and forced out of the door that we didn’t sit for the last 30 minutes of the 90 minute booking. Very disappointing. Like I said, food amazing and staff usually pleasant but just an uncomfortable experience this time.

Visited here on a Saturday afternoon. It was very busy but we had booked a table thankfully. The waitress took our drinks quickly and served them quickly afterwards. We then had 4 chicken wings to share in the Korean fried glaze which was an okay sauce, wasn’t a huge fan of it. I then had the Mac burger and skinny fries (there’s other fry options). The burger was huge and was very hot and tasty, be prepared to use lots of napkins! My partner had the chicken and waffles which she loved. The food came very quickly as well. We then had the cheesecake. It was really nice but hardly had any biscuit base and I don’t think it was worth £4.50 as it was very small, I’ve had bigger slices in other places for cheaper than that. I would recommend but probably wouldn’t go for dessert again. Main courses are around £10/£12.

Been here once before and the food was amazing and staff were attentive and friendly.
However this was not the case on return. The chicken burgers were so oily and we also heard another table complain about this problem. We spent the whole evening trying to order another round of drinks and we’re clearly ignored. Two staff members looked us directly in the eye and continued to walk away and another staff member was too busy behind the bar singing with other staff members to acknowledge us . We decided to leave instead of staying for some drinks after this and found better service elsewhere.

Ate in here last night as they had 40% off cocktails , my daughter & I were going to a book signing / Talk out near The Barrowlands after our food & we fancied a couple of cocktails beforehand.
We ordered chicken burgers with skinny fries & coleslaw as an extra . I’ve NEVER seen a portion of food so big ! It was huge! Was very very tasty and my son who’s at university in Glasgow had also joined us and he took home most of my burger as I just couldn’t eat it all!
The staff were all really attentive and friendly & one of the lads recommended a bar close to where we were going to try after the gig (which we did and it was fabulous!)
The place was really quite busy but this didn’t affect the service or the time we had to wait for our food / drinks
I would HIGHLY recommend this place and I look forward to going again next time I’m in Glasgow & would love to be there when the live music is on in a Saturday night , I’ll bet it’s a great place to be !

Visited here on the 5/09/2020. The food was amazing. I had the chicken and waffles and my partner had the pieces of buttermilk chicken with a side of salt and chilli chips and a side of onion rings ( I had to help with the sides of course!). The portion sizes were large. So large we had to ask for a doggy bag as the food was far too tasty to leave. The staff were very friendly and a credit to the establishment. I would recommend trying the cocktails as well, they were brilliant. Will definitely return and would recommend the place to everyone.

My friend and are in our 40s so we were the oldest people there but it didnt make any difference as the atmosphere and food were fantastic. We had the chicken wings to start and the nashville chicken for mains and both were really nice and spicy.... we will definitely be back and the live singer was great too . He even takes requests . Look forward to my next visit

Hi,
Thank you so much for your review. I'm so glad you enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. I do love the Nashville Hot Style Chicken - however I can't go any further than Hot yet!
It's great to read that you plan to return.
See you soon.

We are regulars at Buck Bar but our visit today was terrible. We arrived to a flithy table and menus with sticky spilled drinks that looked like from the night before. We then got drinks and the glasses were filthy. The water bottlehad greasy finger prints on it and what looked like chilli sauce in my glass. We then got our food. Our salt n chilli chips had freezing cold vegetables on them. The staff said this was the new recipe. The waitress took our meals back whilst we had our chips heated however this took a while and so when got our meals back the burgers had dried out (mustve been under the heat lamp)...the chips still had cold vegetables put on the top. The waitress said this was because 'the vegetables can't be heated' We ended up paying and leaving without eating our meals after a 10% discount. Whoever is in charge of quality control must have had their eyes painted on, absolute shambles. We'll not be back. Such a shame as its usually fantastic af Bucks Bar.

Couldn’t fault the staff. All lovely in manner and attentive. Food was ordered and came in no time at all despite being busy. Food was tasty and staff couldn’t have been nicer packing up what wasn’t finished. Would definitely go back

Regulars at Bucks bar. Tried the new Trongate one. No veggie/vegan dishes available. Salt and chilli chips no longer vegan so all I had was a plate of chips with some raw chillies on top for dinner. Boyfriend almost chocked on an inch sized bone in his breast of chicken burger... all they did to apologise was to take a pint of beer off the bill. Sooooo disappointed with our visit. Not the bucks bar we used to know and love :-(

Hi Julie,
So sorry you were disappointed. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we were working with a much smaller team throughout our time being open with outdoor seating only.
Our manager at Trongate did pass on your feedback regarding the small bone your boyfriend found in his burger and I investigated this with our suppliers right away.
Luckily, we have all of our team back at work now and so all of the vegan options are back along with the rest of our menu.
Hopefully you'll visit us again!

Second time visiting and didn’t disappoint. The chicken is so well cooked and the choices available are well worked. Service is quick and friendly, pre booking is probably necessary to avoid disappointment. Value for money as well as the food quality is so high and the portions also very big. Would recommend trying a cocktail too if you can (some days they’re %40 off so that’s worth checking.) Myself and boyfriend both had the salted caramel White Russian and were not disappointed. Will definitely return again and again. Favourite place in Glasgow for chicken..

Hi,
What a great review to read. Thank you so much for your feedback! Our team work very hard to provide the full Buck's experience and it sounds like they've done a great job.
The Salted Caramel White Russian is my favourite cocktail on the menu by far - great choice!
