Buckets Sports Grill - Soldotna

Good food great rootbeer floats. The server was friendly and quick.

I’m a life long Kenai Peninsula resident and I will never understand the hype of this restaurant. It’s mediocre at best. I got the black and bleu special and my burger was dry, my bun was soggy and inedible, and there were noodles on my caesar salad that gave the salad an unpleasant sweetened taste. The ranch had an off putting taste and was also lukewarm. The restaurant was crowded with little to no room to walk to your table without bumping into someone eating their meal. My family members onion rings were soggy and once bitten into oil pooled into your mouth. The positive is you get to color while you wait for you food and if you’re talented enough you can throw it up on the wall.

Just tried to eat here, there were about a dozen people crammed in the entrance. A waitress comes over to ask my name, then sees my certified Service Dog and says there are 'no dogs allowed '. I said You 're joking, right? It 's against the law to say that. Legally, if I have a disability and she 's trained you cannot deny me entry ....She said It 's not MY rule, it 's the owner 's, she doesn 't like dogs, okay?.....you wanna deal with her, you 're on your own... ....I said fine, but 3 minutes later I 'm having a full-blown anxiety attack and now I 'm outside in my car wiping away tears. The BBB will be informed, lucky for them I 'm not the suing type....

Nice little atmosphere, not too full on Sunday afternoon. Amazing service, fast and friendly, food is delicious and the prices, especially for this area are amazing. I ordered the Prime Rib Bites(ed) and Oh my goodness. They come accompanied by a sweet and spicy blueberry sauce, which is one of the best I have tried. Definitely recommend.

The burgers here are truly excellent, featuring the freshest and most beautiful tomatoes. The service is consistently compassionate, friendly, and quick. It’s definitely a fantastic spot to enjoy a variety of dishes available for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The spacious sports bar is equipped with multiple TVs positioned for customer comfort. I highly recommend trying the Buffalo or Elk dishes—the Elk is incredibly tender!
