Buck's Sports Grill

The location is easy to find and free parking was available. The buck-size menus were funny to look at with how massive they are. The burger patties were great tasting, but it was dry. The real, homemade fries were delicious. The atmosphere had my ADHD very pleased. There is so much stuff to look at here! Our drinks were never refilled. We waited for the waitress to come around for more water and refills, but she just brought the checks. We figured, okay, I guess we are done and not ordering anything else? Overall, 4 stars.

I was pleasantly surprised by the food here. It was good! Burgers were good, would have been better had they been cooked as requested (medium). Swiss mushroom, patty melt, kids cheeseburger and side salad. Fries were tasty, could tell they were made fresh. If we are to drive this stretch of I-80, we'd stop again.

The place is well decorated, staff is friendly and service is quick! Food came in quick, it was DELICIOUS! I got the G Blue burger and it was one of the best blue cheese burgers I’ve ever had. The cheese was melted and delicious. The ribeye was cooked to perfection, meat was tender. And the sandwich was also great. Their drinks are amazing, and everything is also fairly priced! Overall I loved this place, I’d totally come back!

We had the 12oz ribeye with garlic and mushrooms for a topper. They were amazing. Cooked perfectly with delicious sides. We also had the spinach and artichoke dip and I had the wedge of salad with blue cheese and balsamic vinegar dressing. I would not have believed it would taste so good if I hadn’t of eaten it! Our server was so very nice and very attentive. Will definitely go back!

We had high hopes for this place after finding it on Google while traveling. The decor and theme of the restaurant is spot on. However, that is where the good ends. The service is very lackluster. The service is very slow and you have to ask for drink refills. Side salads came out with the entrées which was disappointing. The food is frozen and nothing seems homemade. The chicken fried steak is a heaping mess on top of instant mashed potatoes. Took forever to get our food as well.

Great food, friendly hard-working staff, nice environment but slowwwwwww. They had plenty of staff but struggled to keep up. The waitresses were running and working hard so it was not on them. Their food was delicious. Staff great and friendly. But something needs to be adjusted to better manage service times along every step of your visit. We entered at 6pm on a Thursday and had to ask for our bill at nearly 9 for a table of 7. Could easily be a 5 star if they nailed that!

Had to order 3 Xs. Waitress kept coming back saying sorry we're out. Ended up getting a great meal on 3rd try 😋. Loved all the great sports and movie star pictures and beer can collection

The Outlaw Burger was great and plenty of fresh cut fries. Tasty food in a nostalgic atmosphere.

Decent spot in Rawlins with a wide menu of bar food and a wide beer menu. Service was rough as we had a new server (her 2nd day) that none of the other 3 servers were helping even though the place was basically empty. Randomly out of draft beer and soda... but the chili cheese hot dog was serviceable and the BLT was also good (though not as bacon-y as they promised). Tiny TVs, not ideal for a sports bar. Meh.

Bucks delivers, which was so nice after a long day of traveling. We stopped in Rawlins for the night to get some rest, and didn't feel like eating in person, and Bucks was a lifesaver for us! We ordered the Turkey Club and Philly sandwiches, which came with hand-cut fries- delicious. Even came with containers of fry sauce for dipping. The prices were good, and delivery was fast, everything arrived hot. Thank you Bucks!!

Mushrooms were awesome! Hand cut fries were great as was the burger. Service was exceptional on this trip. Our server was friendly, courteous and efficient. She brought refills before we were half way finished. Restaurant is clean, comfortable and family friendly.

The chicken fried steak was trash, no other way to put it. For the price ($24.50), I would have expected a hand breaded chicken fried steak. What I got tasted like a mass produced, frozen "chicken fried steak" that wasn't worthy of a junior high cafeteria. Speaking of prices, watch out, when I ordered, I was looking at their online menu and it had the price listed as $18.00, when I got there, it was $24.50.

Anna, Audrey, Jazman, Keira, Sydney and Nell were all wonderful this evening. My wife and I come through here at least 4-5x a year on our way to Utah and have to stop and have lunch or dinner, or even take out like tonight. Appreciate the kindness and wonderful atmosphere of the Rawlins town folk. Thank you for the awesome food and cool to perfection. My son and I will be back in June on our way to climb the Grand Teton, so we will need to fill up on carbs and be ready for more great conversations with everyone. Go Outlaws this weekend during State Championships!!!! Bryant and Kristina Gregory

Back in 2014, I really loved going to Buck's. Sure it was fairly rich, greasy, and not the fastest, but the food was great and the menu options plentiful, creative, and exciting. Upon moving back to Rawlins a few years ago, I was taken aback by how much it has changed for the worst. The menu options are all it has going for it. I'll start with the lunch we had. It took over 15 minutes before we were even asked for our order, and another 45 before we had it. The place wasn't that busy, either. Many options they were out of. The bread on my sandwich came out dark. One of the appetizers, they completely forgot about. Okay, so one fairly subpar experience; nothing horrible. We decided to give it another try... never again after that. My parents, wife and I were all exhausted from moving and driving all day, and just wanted to end our day with a nice meal. It was 7 but we'd all had a long and tiring day. The greeter stated there was a 30 minute wait. Not ideal, but okay. 30 minutes came and went. And one by one, the others waiting had left rather than being seated (very few were actually seated). Finally, we had waited nearly an hour. The greeter was nowhere to be seen for the past 15 minutes. In fact, no wait staff were anywhere to be seen. Those seated at the restaurant were abandoned. I had the foresight to grab a menu, so that we'd all be ready to order as soon as we were seated. But again, no one was anywhere to be seen. Uncleared, empty tables were plentiful, and yet we were "waiting to get a seat". I was and still am in disbelief. I figured, even if we did get a seat, we were bound to be completely ignored and wait far longer yet. The bar was where it was at. Patrons looking just to dine and go about their lives were held in apparently very low regard. It seem those at the bar, watching the big game were all that mattered. Not everyone cares about sports. Rawlins basically closed by 8, when we finally left. There was nowhere left to go. We had an okay dinner at Pizza Hut but were hoping to go somewhere more fun. I tried calling, and was told the manager would get with us. Never did. Tried writing to them, yet nothing. Talking amongst coworkers, it sounds as though little has changed.

Pretty suboptimal experience. Clean, sports centric ambiance. Decent tap list. Service was pleasant but extremely slow. Food was close to not edible. Maybe a place to grab a drink but hard pass on food.

What a pleasant surprise! After a long day on the road, we got a bite to eat before settling into our room for the night. Most places were already closing, Buck's Sports Grill was open late and I read it's a "Local's Hangout." Everything was incredible! The Service was friendly and efficient. The bread was fresh, as was the salad and delicious, dressing. Kevin had a BLT with Fried Egg (the fries were sooo good!) I had the Cowboy Spaghetti with Red Chili. (They offer White Chili as well.) If you are ever in Rawlins, Wyoming, or just "driving through" be sure to stop in!

On our way through Rawlings, Wyoming, we stopped here because it was really the only game in town that looked decent that wasn't a tired chain. Plus, there was a 30 minute wait because of all of the locals eating there. That is usually a really good sign. Maybe not so much this time. Once we were seated, they gave us the largest menu I have ever seen. I don't mean a lot of food items, I mean it was half the size of the table. A little odd, but no big deal. The service was very good, the place was very clean and neatly decorated, and our food came out in a reasonable amount of time. And this is where it went downhill. The food wasn't really bad, it just wasn't good. I ordered a french dip and I'm 99% sure the meat was steak-umm. The fries were luke warm, and my traveling partners felt the exact same about their food. It wasn't necessarily bad, it just wasn't good and not piping hot. So, if you want an interesting place with great service and the food isn't that important to you, this could be your spot.

Liked the sweet potato fries on this one and the jalapeños that came with the sandwich. Chicken was very dry though and it appeared that there were only two waiters for the entire restaurant making for very slow service.

The fried zucchini was very good. Then, we got the burgers. They were terrible. Overdone, and not good. The bathrooms were absolutely disgusting. Would not go back. The check was over $50. The food is very over priced and not worth the money.

Chicken fried chicken was okay until I bit into a gross sinewy part. excusable in a way.. the fry would fall off. 20 bucks. Hot enough but not super hot for as long as we waited. Burger was fine. Fries were cold, had to return them. (and walking out lots of plates were left with fries so we werent the only ones that didnt love em). Beers were pricy. Sundae had too much whipped cream. Our waitress was nice. But overall makes me kind of disappointed in American cuisine nowadays.

06-17-2024 We came back to give them another try. The place is cool looking and has such potential. The restaurants interior and restrooms are clean. Last time we were here they ran out of beef. The food was just ok. Anyways here we are again. Today we wanted onion rings to go with our order. Guess what, they ran out of onion rings. So, we ordered: 1. Cheeseburger with a side of home fries $15.25 not worth it. hamburger patty was over cooked and dry. The fried where at best warm and tasted old. The produce look old "not fresh" 2. BLT with a side of Sweet Potato fries $15.50 both actually tasted good. When our food was brought to us our server asked if there was anything else we needed. I said napkins would be nice. Our table did not have a roll of paper towel. Our condiments could have been refreshed. I also noticed different labeled condiments. Our sever was Skylaar Y. she was pleasant and patient with us because we had to redecide on a side with our meals. We were seated quickly. Darn shame this place has such potential. We are not locals and have used this place as a break during our travels. Ichiban is better but you need to set a lot more time aside for them. Bucks Sports Bar & Grill lost a star this visit and maybe a customer. Time will only tell.

The atmosphere is fun with a lot of interesting things to look at. The food was average and overpriced. They were out of many things on the menu. My son had a hamburger. The patty was small, tasteless and bland. The fries were floppy and wilted. The salads were served on small pizza pans. It was a thin layer of lettuce. The bacon pieces in my salad tasted good but the chicken tenders were dried out. Too bad. Lots of potential, but honestly not a good place to eat.

Ok first of all ..this is the second time we tried to eat here. First time they had no gas to cook with. Second time is no dark beer in bottle. So draft will have to do. Ambiance... sports bar.. Service.. is good. Food... not bad nice burger has taste.. brisket is ok little dry.

Staff were sweet. Place needed a good cleaning but would have to start by decluttering. Ranch was very watery. Burger was pretty boring.

Their service was very poor we arrived there before others and we waited and the other couples got seated before us and a different couple when we arrived earlier.

Very disappointing We have eaten here before but it's definitely gone down hill The special was a $14 Mexican patty melt with green chilies they substituted with hormel canned chili for $18 the fries we're old and soggy We won't be back

I had a chefs salad hubby had a BLT and home fries, which are made in house waitress was the BEST! Loved this place and will absolutely come again when we come thru on vacation..a.long way from Iowa but sooooo worth it!

The only place that was open while we were passing by this quaint town Rawlins! Loved the decor of the place, the servers and the host were so friendly and nice. I got the chef salad that was nothing special and felt like those grab and go salads from grocery stores. my husband got the Guacamole Bacon burger but subbed the patty for chicken fried chicken and it was amazingggg !! So crispy and juicy and a huge chunk of meat! The onion rings were also so crispy and fresh. My husband loved it and so did I (since I snacked on his meal more than mine) We would definitely go again if we were passing the place!

Ok if I were to return (just passing through ruin) I would order a full order of the walleye bites and an order of onion rings. Both were outstanding. Hubby's burger was delicious and very unique (wing sauce). My burger (out Law) was good but a tad bit overcooked. But the fish was so delicious that I would order it again and again. Service was good. It was busy but they kept up with the crowd. If we are ever in this area again I would definitely go back! Although we didn't have it the apple crisp Poked and smelled amazing!

Stopped in for lunch on our way from utah to colorado. So glad we did. The food was great, the beer was delicious and cold with a great variety of options, and our barkeep was attentive and friendly. We will make this a regular stop.

Great food, but be warned - everything is huge! I had chicken fried steak sandwich (toast, mashed potatoes, chicken fried steak, Gravy and cheese), hubby had burger and fries. We could only eat half of our meals. Reasonably priced too. Easy to see why it's a favorite of the locals!

It's always a great time when you experience all of the following: great service, excellent-tasting food, a fun atmosphere, and value for the money. We enjoyed all of that on our trip to Buck's tonight. Can't say enough about the place! Olyvia did a phenomenal job taking care of us. We were hungry and had been waiting to eat for nearly two hours. She did her very best to get our crew fed, and she did it all with a smile. Someone get that girl a raise! Very happy with our first-class experience here.

We had this place recommended to us on a stop in town. Unfortunately the very long wait was not worth the food. The fries were cold and soggy, our sandwiches were dry and not very good. The pulled pork had a hard, odd consistency. The Burgers were edible, but that is all the praise I can heap on this place.

We had a pastrami and Ruben really good. The fries OK the waitres was terrific and everything else was great

Stopped thru Rawlins for a bite to eat and found this little gem and novelty restaurant. I had a Rueben sandwich and I asked for lightly toasted but no. Not a great big deal but I love Reuben's but they tear up my upper mouth. The fries were good but just warm. The service was really good and friendly staff. I would stop back by forsure but just know friend it's bar food

Stopped here traveling through Rawlins. The hostess was polite and friendly and seated us as soon as she could. Our waiter was also friendly and attentive. They don't lack In the service department. The food on the other hand...Nothing special. I had an over cooked burger and a salad which was served on a pizza plate and had brown lettuce. Not a show stopper for sure. if you work there and read this- Insist on getting bowls and using fresh lettuce. I tried my daughters chicken tenders and they were so hard and had no seasoning. The ambiance here is fun and the beer cold and personalities great. Just a little disappointed in the food tonight.

Not great. I think everything is pre-cooked. I had taco Tuesday, which was a plate of three tacos. They were ground beef beef with a store-bought shell. Absolutely no seasoning or flavor. I believe it was $14. Taco Bell is better. My husband had soup and salad. Even though it was tasty, it was very small portion. Restaurant is clean and is in a great location. Service is good.

This place has a good atmosphere and is very clean. There is a bar area you can sit at and enjoy a drink, I'm uncertain if it's "full service" as we opted for a table. Our choice for an appetizer was the loaded potato skins. It comes in an option of 2 or 4. We had 4 and discovered that 2 would have been enough as they are large. We had to ask for silverware and plates because we never received any even after our appetizer arrived. The food was good. I had the "El Chapo" and it was overloaded with pulled pork. However it wasn't very warm and the cheese wasn't very melted. The house fries were "ok," but served room temperature. I asked for 2 pickles and only got 1. The mustard & dressing are served on the side. My boyfriend ordered a side salad and he never received it. His steak was cooked as requested and he did enjoy it. He also requested A1 and it was never brought to the table. The restaurant wasn't very busy at the time of our visit... the staff was friendly we just opted not to keep asking for items repeatedly. We did order a couple of drinks: Margarita and a Tsunami. They were both very good and well served. You could taste the alcohol. Overall, I was slightly disappointed and it may be because I had very high expectations. I would stop in again because the meals were satisfactory and I'm always willing to give a place another try. If you're looking for a hearty meal stop in and check it out. You'll definitely leave with a full stomach.

30 to 40 min wait on a Wednesday night at 7pm. We waited for 20 mins but when the line didn't budge, we left. Must be good food because most of the people in town that we saw were there waiting. Just make reservations

Got my order wrong. Food was bland. Salad was warm and weak. Good thing I was just passing through.

Always stop here on our road trip to Colorado. Great beer selection, cheerful service, and a solid selection of solid southern food choices.

Well, first of all, service. Shelby was our waitress and her generous smile and attention brightened our day. The rib eye stew was peppery and delicious and the brisket was tender and flavorful.

Passing through town and we needed a place to eat. After checking out the menu, we were excited to check this spot. We went inside and were promptly seated as there weren't many customers. The place looked pretty neat inside and had a HUGE menu, literally. Unfortunately, this is where the good ends. When our server came to our table, we asked about beer and her snappy response was that they don't have anything like that right now (despite having a bar area). Our interactions with her were never good as she was not friendly at all. More condescending than anything. We witnessed more of this in how she treated her coworkers and the tables that filled up around us as we waited (and waited, and waited). We went over the menu and ordered. Our food took close to an hour to come out and when we finally got it, it was cold. The place was pretty empty, mind you, so how is this even possible. This place has a ton of potential but it's nowhere near any kind of good business as it stands. Super disappointed.

Stopped off for a local place passing through. The atmosphere is neat and has a cool western(ish) vibe. The beer is cold with a decent selection. Nice staff and a good menu (aside from random stuff like cheese curds like we are in Wisconsin). Over all the steak was good and I will be back.

The Man and I split a 12oz ribeye with loaded mashed potatoes. The ribeye was really good. Came served on Texas-style toast topped with an onion ring each. They actually split the meal onto two plates since we weren't "our own plate" hungry. The "loaded" mashed potatoes weren't very good, though. The taste and texture was that of boxed mashed potatoes that weren't really cooked according to package directions. They were then topped with shredded cheese that wasn't all the way melted and pieces of bacon. The bacon was really good! The Budding Thespian had a kid's Mac and cheese. Typical kid's meal -- although everyone forgot about the sundae she was supposed to get for dessert. Oh well. It was like 10:30pm anyway. Our waitress, Bella, was excellent. She was very nice and attentive. Bathroom was decent. There was a TV in both corners, which was pretty amusing. All in all, good spot to try when I'm Rawlins, WY. (Sorry! I'm totally slacking on pictures!)

I will say overall food is good here, really enjoy the fact that the vast majority of the ingredients is freshly made. However employment is kinda sketchy with the owners whole approach of the one shot mannerism, it's my or the highway approach. The typical business ethic of moral, value and leadership skills are of the worse. To the point one could easily see the sexism that has transpired throughout the staffs positions and ranks. There is absolutely no females in back of house (cooks or prepping area), you will find their roles to be waitress, greeters and bar area. Then you'll find all male presence in back of house or in some form of management positions. Being an individual with daughters of my own, I sure wouldn't want their first job to be under the ruling of an individual who treats his staff this way let alone holds the early 1900's views on women. Great job on teaching young men how to view and treat ladies in today's society Shawn, you should be proud.

Stopped here on a Sunday evening while passing through. This one on oh the only places open around here. We waited for about 30 min for a table. Once seated service was fantastic and everyone seemed happy! Beverages never sat empty for long. Food was pretty good. The menus were very funny bea size ive never seen one so large in size. Had to have been 12x20. Picture posted for reference.

Buck's was the perfect end to a long travel day driving cross-country. I kicked back and relaxed with a "Coronarita" (margarita + Corona beer) and the sweet chili chicken wings platter with their homemade fries. The food and cocktail hit the spot with everything hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious! The staff were fast, friendly, and gave great menu recommendations. Definitely recommend this place if you are in the Rawlins area!

Not good. Very plain and bland. I didn't get everything that came with my meal. We didn't see a sign about the price increase of the menu and was scolded by a waitress when we asked about it after our bill came. Asked for a to go box, and our waitress was clueless. We got foil wrapping. Also, the bathroom was disgusting. Don't waste your money or time at this establishment!

This seemed to be the most popular restaurant in town as there were tons of people waiting for a table on a Monday night and people entering and leaving due to the wait time. Due to a server shortage, they could not seat all of the tables nor serve any tables outside. As a result, I ordered salads and a margarita for take out as and waited for close to an hour! The salad with chicken was surprisingly good and the chicken was moist and cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was great. I'd recommend the restaurant but you should be prepared to wait until they hire more servers.

The Turbine Burger, What's that?! Well, it's a big juicy burger with a a slab of cream cheese then some crispy bottle caps (fried jalapeños) with a razz-berry sauce drizzled over everything. Yumm. The fries are delicious also.

We ended up just ordering out as the place was very busy and there were no tables. The service was fast and after returning to our hotel the food was good. Older restaurant , parking pretty good, clean place.

Stopped in for lunch with a client...Great sports bar atmosphere...Ordered Buffalo wings- excellent. Ordered a Salad- great...My associates ordered burgers, and they looked great as well. I will definitely return next time in Rawlins.

Order food to go. We were on the premises waiting for our order. Had to ask for our food and it was cold when it was handed to us. Order chicken Parmesan did not come with any Parmesan. Husbands ordered the hot dog Philly steak and cheese once again no cheese.

5.16.22 We ordered to go but their restaurant had a lot of Wyoming charm to soak up and it appeared to be a great place to dine in. The food was super tasty we were very pleased the only reason I'm shy a star is because I had called in the order and arrived when I was told it would be ready but ended up waiting 15 mins and we were only staying less than a mile away and by the time we got back to our room our food was almost completely cold. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll definitely opt to dine in to enjoy their deliciousness while it's fresh from the kitchen!

Got the pizza and it was awesome, the jalapeño poppers were really good too, i would say the food was great other than the fact that the liquors license was suspended so we couldn't enjoy a nice beer with our food which is why i will give it a 3 star rating

Fun spot in Rawlins. It was a little hard to hear our conversation, but hey that's how a sports bar should be :-) I had the best Philly sandwich ever!
