Arizona might be landlocked, but we can still enjoy fresh, delicious seafood. You’ll find exactly that at Buck & Rider, a locally-owned restaurant that flies in the majority of its seafood on a daily basis from all three U.S. coasts. It doesn’t get fresher than that!
Nestled in the heart of Phoenix's iconic Arcadia neighborhood, Buck & Rider is a warm and inviting restaurant with some of the freshest seafood in Arizona.
Unlike anywhere else in the state, Buck & Rider flies in its seafood daily. Most landlocked states serve previously frozen seafood, but here, it comes straight from the boat.
From seasonal selections like stone crab to year-round offerings such as scallops and crab cakes, the menu features seafood from all three U.S. coasts.
Can't decide? Build your own seafood platter, choosing from an array of scrumptious options. Alternatively, you can ask your server about the catch of the day, or make your meal a surf and turf with the restaurant's signature LGO Angus Beef!
Brunch is served from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. on Saturday, and 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. on Sunday. The menu is full of delicious eats, from smoked salmon on toast to shrimp and grits to even lobster and waffles. It's the perfect way to wake up!
Buck & Rider also has a full bar, and Happy Hour is from 3 p.m. until 7 p.m. on weekdays, and from open until 7 p.m. on weekends. From handcrafted cocktails to draft beer to an extensive wine list, there's something for everyone to sip on!
Visit the restaurant’s website or Facebook page for more information, such as current hours and a full menu.
