July 2020 update – Buckalews is offering outside dining in a large tent on Centre Street.

Covid-19 update – Buck’s Backyard

Buckalews is offering outside dining under a large tent on Center Street. In addition to seating under the tent, there are about a half dozen picnic style benches with umbrellas. When I went by on the 3rd, they had live music. The sister restaurant next door, Station 117, has outdoor seating as well.

We stopped by for dinner on Friday July 10th 2020.  A storm had passed through and the wind was still blowing like crazy. We made reservations via the Yelp app. When we got there, we were seated immediately. 

The tent is large but the tables are spaced out so the capacity is limited. There are picnic type tables and more conventional tables. 

PRO TIP – If there is any threat of rain, be careful with the tables at the edge of the tent. I don’t think they can be moved due to the current restrictions.

I ordered a half rack of smoked ribs with a blueberry bourbon pecan bbq glaze. That was $18. There were more fries but we raided them before taking the picture.  

My Girlfriend ordered a white pizza with ricotta, mozzarella, basil, tomato, garlic  for $15. 

 

We had great service and excellent food. Keep in mind that the distance to the kitchen is a lot longer than if you were inside. A gust of wind blew the remains of my cole slaw all over me much to the amusement of my girlfriend. 

Buckalews Bar and Restaurant.
