Buck's Whiskey & Burger Bar

This is a takeout review. All food is eaten fresh in the vehicle. I ordered a hot mess burger, fries, soup, cole slaw, and cornbread. The fries looked great, had some seasoning, but had been sitting out and were not really fresh. The cole slaw was ok. The burger was very good as was the red pepper corn chowder. A very enjoyable meal. On a scale from 0-10 I would rate this 8.1.

We enjoy our visit. We went around 5ish on a Friday and it was not too busy. It is a small place. Everything was very clean and our server very sweet. Burgers were interesting and very good. Cooked perfectly. I will for sure go again and try the Tacos or Nachos!

Two three years ago the drinks were made great really strong the food was full of flavor very intense it was great. My family has noticed the past 2 years or so the drinks have gotten weaker and the flavor has gotten less flavorful recently went there last night and pleasant though it was we are not going to go there anymore because it's not the way it was when we fell in love with it anymore.

We ordered take out, I got the "Hot Mess" and my husband ordered "The Working Man" . I had high expectations because any restaurant that has burger in the title ought to be able to make a superior burger. I was thoroughly disappointed. The hot mess has macaroni and cheese , bacon, fried onion strings and fried jalepenos and came with fries. I expected lots of texture and decadence. I didn't get any of that. NOTHING was seasoned. The mac-n-cheese was just empty calories. It was neither creamy or delicious. The onion strings added nothing, no crunch or flavor.the only thing that Icould taste was the fried jalepenos, they were few andfar between. The bacon was undercooked and did not have any flavor. the burger itself was meh. The fries were a generous portionbut mostly Inedible Overcooked. My husbands burger was shockingly small for something labeled the working man. He was not impressed either. It was meh.Itwas $30.00 for both, which for what we got was ridiculously overpriced.parking is adequate. You may have to circle the block a few times or have a short walk. I will probably try again but try something else.My husband did rate the service as a 9, prompt and friendly when he picked up the order.

We were so excited to try Buck's after seeing so many raving reviews on social media and on here. Sadly, it wasn't at all what we expected. Our server was absolutely lovely. Perfectly professional! It was a Tuesday night and it wasn't very busy so you would think the food would be as fresh as fresh can be. Hubby ordered a beer and the "Hot Mess" burger. I had a delicious Margarita and "The Cure" burger. Each came with a choice of sides. Again, rave reviews encouraged me to order the fries and my husband opted to go with the Onion Strings. I included a picture of my burger. And at first sight I was in awe! You can see by my picture it LOOKED delish! That's where it ended. Ordered our burgers medium and medium rare. Neither came even close to those temps. Both were medium well. The meat was seasoned well and tasty but just way over cooked. Let's talk toppings! "The Cure" comes with thick sliced bacon, tater keg which is supposed to be a large tater tot with cheese inside a fried egg and Buck sauce. Here we go...I already mentioned the overcooked burger, so let's move on to deconstruction. The brioche roll was lovely. Fresh and buttery. The bacon was stacked and crisp and perfect. When I cut into the Burger to release the golden yolk I waited for the "run". And waited. And waited. The egg, even though it looks perfectly sunny side up, the yolk was hard. Didn't budge. As if it were cooked earlier in the day and then cold held until it needed to go on the burger. That was disappointing. The yolk running and blending with the beef is the only reason to put it on. The tater keg was lost. There was only one of these kegs that was flattened to the point of it being hash browns under the egg and no sight of cheese. The Buck sauce had no flavor. After all that the fries were the most disappointing, believe it or not. The were dry, over cooked, hollow shoestring fries. Over seasoned with season salt. It was as though they were cooked ahead of time, held and refried to heat them back up. Being a chef for 30+ years I don't always expect perfection, but, I do expect edible. Our whole meal, which was as mentioned, the two burger plates, one margarita and two beers, came to a total of $70 including the $20 tip for our amazing server. We probably won't be back. Too many rookie mistakes for a place billed as the best burger in Worcester. Big doesn't always equal better people! Remember that!

Yum yum yum yum. Their 9.99 fish and chips on fridays, their $7 burgers on Thursdays! They have a great selection of local beers!

Don't let COVID keep you from one of the best burgers in Worcester. We had the Spicy Cougar and The Cure and were hard pressed to say which was better. Both were excellent, really tasty burgers. The beer selection is quite good with a large selection of curated beers from mostly New England. Get a recommendation if you are unfamiliar with the beer menu, the bar staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Come on down, but leave a parking space for us because we'll absolutely be back.

Very good food. Food comes quick. I got the burger with Mac n cheese for $12 and the burger alone filled me up and I have a BIG stomach. I had to save the Mac n cheese for the following day and was delicious. If you are looking for REALLY good food for cheap this is the place for you.

Great local beer selection here. Wormtown, greater good, stone cow to name a few. Food great, fast friendly service!

Bucks is our go to for Pats games. Great small bar, friendly staff and people. I recommend trying the Buck's Buffalo or the Moonshine BBQ for all your sauce-related adventures!
