An upscale sports bar with an overstated interior and prices.
The Inviting Dining Area |
I knew little about the Landen area so I was happy to explore a new place for lunch with Carole, Cindy, Billie, and Bobbie. Bucks Tavern is welcoming with its detailed paneled
walls, a gorgeous bar, and a fireplace complete with "Buck" overhead. It's reminiscent of taverns in Bucks County, PA. Perhaps that not a coincidence.

Pot Roast Sandwich |
Special Mahi Mahi Wrap |
We chose from the all day menu. I had the Pot Roast Sandwich with a side of Bucks Slaw. The sandwich was served with melted provolone and a few diced red peppers on a sesame bun. The pot roast was tender and delicious. My only complaint was that the portion was rather modest and the slaw, although creamy and sweet, was more like a sample size. Two of the ladies had the special Mahi Mahi and Vegetable Wrap. A little on the dry side, both thought it was not worth the $11 tag. The one hit was the Classic Reuben—heavy on the lean corned beef and light with all the accompaniments. The Seasoned Fries were curly cut and light.
Classic Reuben |
Our lunches all came in baskets with checkered paper. Certainly a sufficient presentation, but as I looked around I couldn't help but notice that some patrons' selections were being served on large ceramic plates with portions to match. I was confused. I could only assume that they had opted for an upcharge for a Bucks Chopped Salad and ordered something that was actually a great value. Perhaps if I return some day, I'll figure it all out.

Looks like some of the bucks in our neighborhood.
