Bucks Steakhouse

Kelly Starr-King

Fantastic in all areas! Food has been excellent! The only recommendation would be offering GRILLED wings in addition to your just ok deep fried wings. Otherwise, we cannot stay away from your soft shell brisket tacos, burgers, BLT, salmon, cowboy bites, and my fav go-to Cobb salad with grilled chicken breast. All are amazing tasty and peak in freshness. Service has been the best…servers, bartenders, hosts and managers are all very friendly. Atmospheres is so cool & fun, but I always bring a jacket or two. TVs for sports are huge and crystal clear. Seriously this is such a welcome addition! We’ve been back in town for only 2 months and been to Duke’s Roadhouse (AKA “Roadhouse” to avoid confusion with golf course) a good 7 times already…it’s just that good, so WELCOME to the community and thank you!!!

Been here several times and this place never disappoints. The service is always great and the food is consistently on point. The nachos are my favorite, the green chili mac and cheese is on another level, and the steak soup is absolutely amazing. The burgers are solid every time. The vibe is cool, the music is great, and the atmosphere just feels welcoming. They have incredible musicians and live music that really sets the tone. The dance floor is huge, so there’s plenty of room to have fun, and they host all kinds of activities and community events all the time, which makes it more than just a bar or restaurant. Upstairs you’ll find pool tables, dartboards, and I believe Bull shooters, so there’s always something to do. Definitely check out their website for weekly specials—Wednesdays feature $3 margaritas all day, which is hard to beat. Amazing food, great drinks, awesome music, and a strong community vibe. Needless to say, I highly recommend Roadhouse in Maricopa, Arizona.

Man this place knocked it out of the park. Good atmosphere, good food and good service. First time here and certainly not my last. For the appetizer we had the armadillo eggs. Meat wrapped around a jalapeño that's stuffed with cream cheese and all of that is bacon wrapped. YES PLEASE! The wife ordered BBQ flatbread which she seemed to have enjoyed. I ordered the brisket Philly cheesesteak. Another banger! Our server Mayjee was a treat! Lastly the drinks were great. I had an old fashion. They called it something smoke. Wife had a draft beer. All in all, it was good stuff. Thanks Dukes!

Don’t know why all the negativity. Went on a Saturday night. The food and drinks were great, reasonably priced, and the band was great. 3/3 of us loved it. If I have to complain I’d say the music was a little loud, but it was a live band after all. 🤠💃 Our server’s name was Hannah and she was terrific! Can’t wait to go back for the dance lessons.

First time in. I have been wanting to stop and so glad I finally did. The service was excellent. The only thing I was disappointed in was not getting the brisket tacos or nachos that smelled and looked amazing. I chose to get a cowboy salad since I did not want to eat anything heavy after being in this heat all day. Must say it was amazing. Cleaned the plate. I had a duke beer on tap that was also very good. I truly enjoyed the place. I will be back again soon. Maybe later later tonight for a fried bologna sandwich. That's sounds like some good old comfort food to me.

Okay, y'all, check it out. This place gets 5 stars from me. I had the brisket tacos, they were fire!!! The meat was tender and juicy, and the flavor was on point. My wife had the pulled pork burger. It was great the meat was tender and juicy. I noticed that some of the reviews weren't very good. Don't judge this place on that. Try it for yourself. I give it a thumbs up. Oh yeah plus the bathrooms were clean. You know, I love me a clean public bathroom.😆😆😆😆😆😆

(Update) I have now been to Duke's a total of four times and it only keeps getting better. I really do not understand all the negative reviews that I'm seeing. I've eaten. I've been for live music. I've been to the bar. All of it has been good every single time. (Edit) After my recent visit I thought I'd update my review, Duke's is even better than I had imagined, the atmosphere is perfect, the servers are great minus the upstairs bartender. Dukes really seems to have what it takes to make it and more, looking forward to more visits soon. This could be an absolute game changer for Maricopa, it can (if done right) prove that there is no need to make the terrible drive to Chandler or Phoenix for a proper night life experience. The success of Dukes could be the blueprint for our city moving from a dusty blip on the map to an actual destination, don't let us down.

Duke was definitely a great experience. I requested a medium rare and got a medium rare. When asked for my side request, I asked the waitress to surprise me. And surprise it was. Definitely enjoyable and tasty. But probably one of the biggest plus for the new menu was the service. Top notch and friendly. A top of that, the owner was not only mingling with the patrons, but when he took note of those feeling a hit chilly he was quick to sneak to the side and adjust the thermostat. This business truly cares about their customer base. This place is a major win for growing city of Miracopa. There was a slight lag in the time it took to serve the meals, but it was the grand opening of the venue and super pack, so it's expect that they would be a bit overwhelmed and excusable. Definitely a great place if you’re looking for a fun night out with plenty of dancing and eating. All in all the service was amazing, food was delicious, the live bar was awesome, and the service was great!

1.50 Margaritas were great Nachos yummy We enjoyed the rack of ribs. We were bothered by a perky 🪰 Brunch, Biscuit and gravy, sausage patties and scrambled eggs. Very tasty I noticed the 3% fee on the bill.

Brian was fantastic—knowledgeable, attentive, and clearly passionate about his job. He answered all my questions with ease. You can truly see the craftsmanship behind everything here—made with both skill and heart. Thank you for opening up here in Maricopa and giving us a great experience filled with good music and a one of a kind vibe. The food was 8/10. My steak was slightly over cooked. Also the steak cut fries are not what you think they are, unfortunately. I was expecting a fresh cut potato... Will come back for the music and dancing. Hope the menu grows! You all are doing great! The staff is super friendly and super clean! I will be back for round two on the steak. Will update if round 2 🥩 was better than round 1 🥩.

Duke's Roadhouse is absolutely phenomenal you do have to have reservations if you want a table. There is seating at both bars, there's one downstairs and one upstairs. Also up stairs is two pool tables and two dart machines. Weekends on Friday and Saturdays live music (country) and they do have an adequate size dance floor. The food was excellent prices $$ there is a bar and bathrooms upstairs quality of service was great didn't wait long for drinks or for food. Their menu is online as well as making reservations. I think what would have made it cooler is if they had the actors (celebrity cutouts) Sam Elliotte and Patrick Swayze and a few of the other actors from the movie Roadhouse.

We love Duke’s! We have been 3 times and every time we have gone, our experience has been better and better. On Sunday, our server Jill was amazing, attentive, and really cared to ensure we had the best experience. Chef Ricardo and his crew have really elevated the menu and quality of food and we are impressed with everything we have tried! He personally came to our table to ensure we were happy and to thank us for our patronage. We are thrilled to have this wonderful business open in our town. The atmosphere is great, everyone is kind and friendly, and we really enjoy the music. A lively schedule of live bands, karaoke, line dance lessons, bingo, and cornhole make this establishment a fantastic addition to our entertainment options!

We went at 530 with our kids for Valentines day. The food was amazing! I had grilled shrimp, green chilie mac and cheese with a side salad. My husband got a rib eye steak with garlic mashed potatoes. Everything was so good and perfectly seasoned. We also shared the armadillo eggs which are amazing and the spinach dip which was not the best in my opinion. Our service was a little slow but it was Valentines day and they were busy so I understand.

We drove up yesterday for a late birthday dinner from Eloy. Absolutely loved the atmosphere and that the restaurant was very clean. Very romantic once they dimmed the lights. The music videos were a nice touch and not so loud you couldn't have a conversation. Thankfully they were able to accommodate us walking in. The wait wasn't very long. The gentleman who was our server was very positive and he knew the menu well. Food was very good. As someone who loves to cook there's just a few things I didn't like...A-The armadillo eggs are yummy, portion size was small for the cost. Also whenever you wrap anything in bacon...If you overlap the bacon it loses that crunch and becomes soggy which changes the texture into like eating boiled bacon. B-The brisket was a little dry....woulda been nice to have a paired sauce like horseradish or BBQ Au jus for dipping. The only thing that didn't work for us was the reservation system online. We just hoped they'd have room. Lol. Overall tho an incredibly nice dinner. Thank you guys for a low key celebration.

First impressions: The 3 host were shockingly young but I remember being that age and having a hard time finding places that would hire, so I can appreciate a place that gives people an opportunity to work. Lots of items on the menu were completely blacked out to the point where I’m not even sure what they were out of. There was also no drink menu which is rough for us people that are not very knowledgeable when it comes to drinks. They were able to whip something up for me though that I really enjoyed. Food Mabey a bit over seasoned but overall very good. Price was pretty steep, almost 100$ after tip for just one person. My server Samantha H did a great job and served with a smile. I feel like if they get there supplies in order and get a drink menu I could give a 5 star. My only fear for the place is that due to the high price they might have a hard time keeping enough customers after the novelty of trying the new hot place wears off. There are not other cities near by so they will have to rely on just Maricopa ti be willing ti keep coming back and paying the price.

Okay, this place has great potential. The food was really good. It looks like a fun place. Our waiter, Sean was great but really had too many tables. He ran his butt off. The hostess should have given us a utensil set when she seated us, she did not. The assistant manager did not help anyone. He did not say hello to customers or anything, he just stood on the sidelines. The bar manager did not talk to customers except one, and she flirted with him. We go to the Hub a lot. The assistant manager could take lessons from them. They are not afraid to get their hands dirty if you know what I mean. The stage is great, the tvs add to the sports theme. It could be a really great place. As we left neither the assistant manager nor the bar manager acknowledged us, not saying thank you or asking us to come back.

So one week after opening they still have a few kinks to work out. Overall the food was delicious. I had the ribeye cooked perfect and very tasty. Partner had the lemon orzo pasta with Salmon- cooked perfect. Waitress was attentive. Some things to add are the asparagus was not grilled and the bottom should have been removed as it was hard and no seasoning on it, there was no condiments or seasoning on the table- we had to ask- person who dropped off food did not ask if we needed anything, some bread would be nice served while you wait, the band was good but very loud as was the sound system when they took a break- very hard to carry on a conversation. On a positive note thank you for singing Happy Birthday to me- made my night.

Great authentic atmosphere! We recommend reservations. The steak was really good; and so was the pretzel....that's about it. Overpriced, not for a steak place but for the quantity. Limited beer selection. Flies everywhere! Completely different menu for lunch - only 2 steaks available. We wouldn't have gone for lunch had we known. The number of flies was ridiculous! They need fly fans on every table. I bet this place is great on Friday and Saturday nights; steak, drinks and some two stepping!

The food was good just not amazing. Spirit was our server she made the experience awesome. I must be getting old because the music was so loud I couldn't hear my date. But the band was really good, just too loud.

We liked the atmosphere and the band (Lacey Rashea) was excellent. My husbands burger was raw, our friend’s filet was tough and chewy, potato cold, didn’t receive our salads until end of meal after we asked twice and drinks not delivered timely with no water offered as backup to drinks. Only positive was my salmon dinner was delicious. Very disappointed in overall experience.

I’ve visited Dukes a dozen times over the past few months, and almost every experience has been positive, which is why I continue to return. The atmosphere is always warm and inviting, and the service consistently stands out waitresses and waiters here truly do a wonderful job and always make you feel welcome. However, during my most recent visit, I encountered an issue with my steak. I ordered a $42 ribeye prepared medium rare, but it arrived well-done and unusually thin, about a quarter-inch thick. To their credit, the staff handled the situation graciously and replaced the steak without hesitation. Unfortunately, the replacement felt more like a flank-style cut than a proper ribeye. For a bill totaling around $200, I expect better quality control when it comes to the cuts of meat. Texas Road House has a much better cut for half the price. The service, setting, and people are all fantastic, but the consistency and quality of the steaks which should be the star of a steakhouse need more attention. I truly enjoy Dukes and hope they take steps to improve the selection or sourcing of their cuts, because everything else they do is top-notch.

I actually hesitated to come here because of the reviews but I wanted to see for myself. Definitely won’t be back. I asked for a medium well done steak, it came to the table still alive and bleeding. I sent it back and they brought the same steak out to me, just chard on the outside and still bleeding in the inside! They asked if I wanted to send back again and I just said no! First off, I have never had the same meat brought back out to me! I’ve always had them remake it fresh, but to try again on the same steak and it still not be done, I’m done!

What a horrible dining experience. I actually finished my salad and entree before getting my drink, all I ordered was an ice tea. The steak was medium well at best and not medium rare like I ordered. They but a huge glob of flavored butter on top of the steak, never a good sign. Not sure where our waiter was must of the meal and you can forget about flagging down other staff, they will ignore you. The also put the salads in these little soap bowls making them hard to eat at best. Definitely not going back.
