Great food and great service.
Had an amazing experience here. My family ordered the Brussel sprouts that came with a small bowl of cheese that was absolutely delicious. We also had the tuna sushi over the crispy rice, rosemary biscuits with honey butter, and ceviche. I ordered th

Let me start by saying the food here is always excellent, and the wait staff is consistently friendly and attentive. However, the seating process during Happy Hour really needs improvement. We arrived at 3:30 p.m. and were told the wait would be abo
The food is fresh and delicious.
The waite staff very attentive. The seating area can be a little loud but that's fine. My problem is when there is a kitchen staff member with a full/long beard that's uncovered. Please have him put a cover over the beard or remove it.
Woooooow! On vacation.
.. they took us in last minute and did not disappoint! Scallops were on point!
Best Oysters for sure.
Served with different sauces. Freshest you'll get this far from the ocean, you will forget you're in Phoenix. I had the Troffie Pasta which reminded me of a dish from Puerto Vallarta. Highly recommend. Staff is friendly and great servic

There are nights when dining in Arizona feels nearly effortless -- when the desert air softens, the service hums in rhythm, and the food reminds you that freshness is a virtue, not a luxury. Such was the case during a recent dinner with friends at th

Oysters are hit or miss.
The waits are ridiculous. Feels like they wanna get you in and get you out really quick, which is fine I guess.

10/10 on the ambiance and service but the food is mediocre! EDNA'S PICNIC CHICKEN was excellent, crab cake was just ok and Trofie pasta was terrible!

It was my first time here with my friend who has dined here before. We started off with the Golden Hour bourbon drink. Which was so good it was hard to sip it. I went her rec's for all of the dishes except the Smoked Trout dip, I picked that.

We had two birthdays and our server made it really special.
They put the birthday ladies up on the board which was so fun. The food was fantastic and everyone in our 7 person party was delighted. Great spot 10/10!
Camryn was an AWESOME server.
Food was fresh and atmosphere was great. Looking forward to coming back!
We ate from the Restaurant Week menu.
Food was outstanding. Jacqueline was our server and didn't miss a beat! This is one of our favorite spots, even though there's usually a wait even with a reservation.

I grew up next to the ocean and have been eating seafood for as long as I can remember. The grilled salmon was quite possibly the best I have ever had, the Voodoo Rice was delicious as always, and the service and ambiance were top notched. This was m
Extremely disappointing.
I appreciate that it was Friday night and I appreciate that it was the first night of restaurant week, but it was my husband's birthday. We had to wait a bit after our reservation time to be seated but that was fine- it was Friday. I did think

Great first visit.
This was my first trip to Buck and Rider. It is a great place for some fresh seafood. I had the Crab Cake Lunch special. It was a large cake made with lump crab only, no fillers. It was served on a bed of pommery mustard which complimented the crab v

I come here all the time and it never disappoints. The food and happy hour are always solid. The calamari is a favorite, and the oysters are always fresh. The crab wedge salad is a must try, and the voodoo rice has great flavor. My go to meal is the
A H9t Mess!
I am absolutely irate instead of opening up at 11. They opened up 15 minutes early. Therefore, we could not be seated. We had reservations for 12 that they couldn't find. We had to sit outside in the 115 degree hot sun. But the worst part about
Best of the best!
Before I even rave about the seafood, let me rave about the staff! Dimitri is one of the most personable and accommodating of the management team at this location. The restaurant is very fortunate to have him! His staff follows his example. Service i

Nice dinner with family and friends
This was my first time here at a Buck & Rider for our 12:00 noon lunch with my family of 8. Three children are preschoolers. My local friend called the restaurant to make our reservation. The restaurant is located in a strip mall so there is lots

This spot continues to be outstanding in service and dining. Food was great. Service was exceptional from seating to dessert. A high recommend.
Everything is delicious just try it
As always impeccable service, my husband and I try to have a fantastic dinner at least 2 to 3 times a month at Buck n Rider. Every server we have encountered always a smile on their face always so very pleasant and attentive but the one who never goe
Poor service. Average food. Lousy martinis
I went with friends tonight. The service was slow. I had a cosmopolitan . In short it was terrible and the glass it was served in was small and the wrong shape for a martini. I sent it back. They don't know how to make a drink. The food was g
Connect with users posting reservations for Buck & Rider Scottsdale Phoenix
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Buck & Rider Scottsdale Phoenix. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Buck & Rider Scottsdale Phoenix at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Buck & Rider Scottsdale Phoenix page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ElaborateHouse74, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* ElaborateHouse74 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ElaborateHouse74 for any questions Peter may have as ElaborateHouse74 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ElaborateHouse74 now uses their connections at Buck & Rider Scottsdale Phoenix to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ElaborateHouse74 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ElaborateHouse74 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ElaborateHouse74's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Buck & Rider Scottsdale Phoenix!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
