A little more $$ than Caribou, but they give more food, too. Fresh and tasty burgers! Speakers at every table that will play audio for what TV screen you are watching. Neat sport-themed decorations. Clean. Lots of parking.

I took my wife and her sisters out to dinner the other day and the experience we had was bad enough we will never eat there again. It took between 45 minutes and an hour to get our food. When my wife placed her order, she asked for a plain bucket burger and specifically asked for no mayo. Her room temperature burger was slathered in mayo. One of her sisters got cold nachos with cheese so bland and tasteless, we aren't even sure it was actually cheese. Her other sister got overcooked chicken fingers, which were barely above room temperature. Half of my steak bites were hot, the other half were cold, but most were a 50/50 mixture of meat and fat. I will say, though, the hot meat dipped into the blueberry sauce was very good. After bringing out our meals, the waitress only showed up once to check on us, at which time we told her the food was ok, but she walked away before we could explain further. She didn't ask how we enjoyed our meal or if there were any issues when she brought the check, despite most of our food being uneaten, and again, left before we could express our displeasure. A different waitress picked up the check and ran my card. I suspect she overheard us complaining among ourselves because she seemed overly friendly, brought our to-go boxes right away and apologized. At one point, we overheard our waitress saying to another table she used to work in an airport bar, which tells me she is not new to the industry, which reflects even more poorly on the service we received. The thing that brought decor down from an excellent to very good was the speaker box on our table was not working properly. With the volume turned all the way up, you had to hold the box up to your ear in order to barely hear the sound.

We first ate at buckets 2 years ago and the food was so good we went again last week for carryout. The burgers there are sizable and delicious, and you have your choice of elk, caribou, and buffalo as well. The first time we ate in the service was a little slow, but the food makes up for it. The restaurant is small but quaint. This year our burgers did not disappoint, neither did the fries or onion rings (so good)....the food was all very delicious! I would suggest anyone going through Soldotna looking for a great burger to stop here!!

Took over an hour just to get food. That was after waiting 30 minutes for them to take our order. I'm not sure why we even waited so long in the first place. Not quite sure what the bottleneck or issues are with this place but its too bad because Soldotna needs a good burger and wing joint. Someone needs to straighten this place out.

Despite a sign asking we wait to be seated, a waitress acted irritated that we had not just come in and sat. Took over ten minutes from there to even get a menu and we were disappointed with the food when it finally arrived. I wouldn't return.
