Love the atmosphere, service, people, and hometown feel of this restaurant. It's a fun place with great food at a decent price.

Nothing special that I could see. Had the fish , Just everday average food. If your an old time Stock Car fan or Santa Fa fan lots of old pics in the dinning area. The Rush on Roosevelt

Just ok. We went there on recommendation, and we had a good sever, Christy was her name. Chicken and dumpling soup was cold, like out of the fridge, and did not nuke it long enough. Cheese curd appetizer was really good, I had reheated ribs, that were decent at best, they obviously have an obsession with their microwave, my wife had the shrimp, again, only decent, I wish I could say that we would come back, but I don't think that is going to happen. We could have microwaved leftovers at home. Not sure what my friends eat here, but we were disappointed, sorry

I love the theme of a NASCAR restaurant but, I am all about the food and karaoke. My waistline is a good judge of the food and as to the karaoke here (even though it's only once monthly) I judge it to be great. I always judge a karaoke show on the selections available, the sound system and if the host is professional. They have a great show going here. I will definitely be back!

Food was great, drinks were great, our server Dawn was best server I've ever had! I'm not into Nascar but they did a great job using it as the theme. Can't wait to go back!

Buck is not a nice guy !! Food is not great but considering the area it's about the best you'll get. The police hang out here and are rude, they are here uniform drinking. Would be nice if they were polite. But they know you don't know who they are so they can get away with calling people names this happened in the bar area. A gentleman I know had a stroke Buck refuse to serve him food or drink terrible.

This little grill was a great find. The patrons, and staff alike are the friendliest I met in a long time. The food is always good, and the prices are the best around. I will continue to visit this establishment while I remain in the area.

I have to start by saying the hostess was not pleasant. I decided though - that the reputation of this place and its burgers was enough to prod my chunky-butt over to a table. Now this is a NASCAR themed restaurant - but don't hold that against them. This restaurant knows a lot about customer service which - as we know - is a dying art. We ordered the King Petty Burger and two plates. The King Petty Burger is a one-pounder. We split it. (I didn't need to, but my friend only wanted a quarter of a burger - so what the heck.) Now most places - when you split - they charge extra but all they are giving you is an extra plate. It sucks to have to pay for the use of a plate. At Buck's - they do things a little differently. Both plates got a slice of onion, a slice of tomato, and a leaf of lettuce. We didn't have to split that up. Also both plates got a normal size order of fries. I am not sure if they charged extra- but I know the care to detail - and making the customer feel valued was worth the couple extra bucks. The young girl serving us - Sarah - began to get overwhelmed with the amount of customers - but she never lost her way. She kept up a professional demeanor - much more than the hostess. I love a good burger and I don't mind NASCAR. I will go back to Buck's and work my way down their menu and back up to the King Petty Burger (which I won't share next time). Look for me when the checkered flag comes down.

Pizza is not that good, the crust could definitely be better. But the wings are very good. Prices are pretty average. Decent setting. Not a bad place to grab a bit.
(3)David M.
Great burger & fries. Nice atmosphere & racing pictures all over the place. Friendly quick service too.

Went there for a late lunch , I was found by the back bar after quite awhile . I had the burger ,it was one of my best ever . It's a shame the service was so bad.

Tucked away off Joliet Road near Menard's in Hodgkins is a great little Nascar themed restaurant/bar called Bucks. The food is always good and has items like deep fried green beans. They serve home made chips and other cool items. Their burgers are big and juicy...baby got back! THe bar selection is good and a cold tap beer goes perfectly with a burger after getting your handy man freak-on at Menard's.

Arrrghh! I'm torn between 3 and 4 stars. But I've only been here once, so I don't have a definitive opinion just yet. This is a neighborhood spot, for sure. Everyone seemed to know everyone. We sat at the bar to eat. The bartender was very nice. I was a little deflated by the fact that they didn't have a fun beer list, just Miller, Budweiser, Corona, etc. But the food was really good. We plowed our way through a whole basket of their homemade chips. Very, very tasty. I got the lake perch and my husband did the fish fry. The perch was fantastic, and he enjoyed his fish as well. Our dinners came with soup or salad, vegetable, and choice of potato. A TON of food. But the fish was the star of the show. For 2 beers apiece and our dinners, our bill was about fifty bucks. Very reasonable. We actually each had 3 beers, but the last one was courtesy of fellow Yelper Bobby O., who happened to notice that I had checked in and so came over to say hello.Thanks again Bobby! It was a nice time. I'd like to go back for sure and try the burger that alot of people rave about. Then I'll update. Pleased to meet ya', Buck!

I was here late last week. At first the service wasn't very pleasant, I walked in and wasn't sure if there was a hostess or not because nobody greeted me until I saw the hostess upstairs talking with boys. She wasn't very welcoming and at first I thought of leaving but I am very glad I didn't. After my husband and I got seated upstairs our waitress was amazing. She was very busy but still waited on us like we were her only table. Her name was Dawn. She greeted everybody very welcoming and her service makes me want to go there again. When I eat there again I will definitely request Dawn as our waitress. I would recommend to anyone eating there to request her also! Her service definitely made the whole experience pleasant.

We went here last night for a late dinner (7:45!). There were a couple open tables so I was surprised the hostess said it would be a 15-20 min wait. We sat at the bar and started with some cocktails. The one waitress/bartender was rudely barking orders at two bus boys. Lady, I came here to eat and drink. If I wanted to hear your whining and yelling I'd have stayed home with my kids!! The other bartender was rude too. She was pleasant to the "regulars" but I guess we had to prove ourselves worthy of her service. After 30 minutes and still not a chirp out of the hostess we told the bartender we had a movie to get to and needed menus. The menu had hardly anything to offer and fried bologna sandwich was one choice????? Really??? We had 1 last request for the soup to come out first and she walked away while it was being requested. Rude again. The cheeseburger was very hot as were the fries and very tasty and that is the only reason they get 2 stars. The bartender messed up our bill but did fix it promptly. They had a guy in the back playing music pretty loud, plus jukebox music going in the background plus the noisy whiny lady behind the bar that I was in sensory overload. I gave it a try but that burger was not THAT great to bring me back. Get working on your customer service first please!

I like Buck's. Food is good, love the fried pickles.
(4)Adam J.
I didn't know this place existed until I was talking to a Hodgkins village official and he mentioned how great it is. I wasn't disappointed. They have the best fried pickles I've ever had. The burger was amazing. They also have a fat man size burger that I couldn't dream of knocking down. Can't wait to go back
(4)Maggie R.
Wow. Their burgers are amazing. This is truly a hidden gem in Hodgkins. Prices are very low compared to the quality and quantity that you get. Definitely order their seasoned fries. Staff is very genuinely friendly.
(5)Carm B.
I love to go to Buck's. Everything I have had here is great. Their burgers are awesome. I ordered the mini burgers today with the seasoned fries (their homemade chips are great too). So good! They make a good Bloody Mary too. Can get a little crowded on the weekends and evenings. If you are going with kids, take them for lunch. It's really not a "kid" kind of place. Great service always.

Stumbled upon this little gem when searching for new bars in the area. I am not an autoracing buff, but I gotta say this place is pretty awesome. The bar is a three-sided horseshoe shape with great people sitting on all sides. Everyone we encountered was friendly and super-entertaining. Best part of all, the beer and appetizers were dirt cheap. My two friends and I came for the fried pickles after seeing a fellow Yelper comment about them and they did not disapoint. I will definitely be back for a full meal in the near future!

I'd heard about this place from a person I know who knows good places to go. I'm so glad I finally went! On Sunday, and Sunday only, they have a 1/2 fried chicken dinner with mashed potatoes/gravy and a vegetable (along with soup or salad) for $8.25!!! The chicken was delicious. Great crust, fully cooked (I don't like "wet" chicken) and so smoking hot when it arrived, I had to let it rest before tearing into it. The mashed potatoes were to die for delicious. I don't know what they put in them....cream, sour cream? don't know but those potatoes alone have me wanting to go back already. The draft beer is very very cold and their lines are clean as the beer tasted great. Reasonably priced as well ($2.25 for a pint). We will be going back. I want to try some of the other food on the menu that sounded great as well. The car racing motif is cute too. Oh, did I mention the place is spotless. Looks like you could eat off their floors. To the reviewer who mentions it was dead at 9PM, I think it's because it's not a later night place. On Sunday (not sure about other days), the kitchen closes at 8PM. If you can find the place, do give it a try.

My grandparents-in-law love this place. They eat here all the time. We have joined them on a few occasions, and I have never had a bad experience. It wouldn't be my first choice for restaurants though, because there are few to zero healthy options on the menu. Your choices are pretty much fried, fried and more fried. The walleye is very good though. However, they commit the ultimate fish fry sin by not having malt vinegar to offer. If you're in the mood for simple fried food and good service, you should go to Buck's.

I need to put a few qualifiers to this review before I proceed. 1. I dont really get the excitement of racing. NASCAR, stock car, Indy car, I just dont get it. 2. I do my best to avoid Hogkins. Perhaps some bad memories of my teenage years. But family members tell me they have discovered a great resturant in Hodgkins and since I was overserved the night prior, there was nothing better sounding than a burger. And so I agree to go. I walk in to find a cop standing at the bar chatting up his non-cop friends. I immediately panic, but realize I'm not wanted anywhere (that I know of) and proceed on in. I didnt drink (see paragraph #2), but they had a decent bar menu - including a few "non-traditionals" like Fat Tire. Since it was lunch on a Saturday, they had only one server and she was busy. But she was awesome - our beverages came in a timely fashion, our appetizer platter came out hot (highly recommend the fried pickles). But the pièce de résistance was the burger. Now, I dont get excited about burgers, but this thing really was impressive. Great seasonings, great fries and it was HUGE... Prices are quite reasonable - a 1/2 lb burger for around $8. So if you can get past the black and white tiles on the ceiling and the photos of racing cars and other racing kitch, this place is a go.

This is an all-around fun place. Really good food with car racing memorabilia all over. Good service. Extremely casual and very small.
