Buckin Donkey
Description
Nestled in the community, this bar offers a unique twist on classic dishes, boasting creative burgers and popular appetizers like fried pickles. While the food can be hit or miss, particularly due to an intermittently closed kitchen, many patrons appreciate the attentive bartenders and enjoyable trivia nights. However, concerns about service consistency abound, especially regarding the owner’s demeanor, which leaves some customers feeling undervalued. Despite its potential and charm, diners might find better experiences elsewhere until the service and management improve, urging a cautious approach to this once-beloved local spot.

The service was actually laughable. I really did enjoy my time when I was there the first time (with someone who was not the owner bartending). I'm all for supporting local business but this is worse than a kids lemonade stand when it comes to communicating. I sat there for ten minutes with my friend, then someone came by said hi and stared at us? Apparently it was the owner and she acted like we were stupid for waiting. Honestly as a customer I felt like I was a burden rather than a person who was being cared for. I wasn't initially going to post my experience because maybe I'm the outlier of bad experience, but after a couple of trips I've found out that's not the case. They don't do mixed drinks as well, kitchen is hit or miss in terms of operation. When the kitchen is running the food tastes fine when you're drunk. Plenty of other places to drink so it's hard for me to honestly recommend this place given service and products provided, hence the poor review.
