Bucks Cabaret — Restaurant in Dallas

Bad experience at Bucks last night. Recently moved to the metroplex a few months ago and wanted to go to a gentleman's club for my birthday. First time there. Did some research and thought Bucks would be the best place. Got there shortly before 10pm, very few people there and was a slow night for the remainder. My brother and I were approached by two dancers in the main stage area and we each got a dance at the same time. After my dance, I was told it would be $40. Each dance is supposed to be $20. So I asked the dancer why it was $40. She said she danced for two songs. I specifically asked her before she started dancing to wait for the song to end as it was just about over. We're talking literally 10 seconds left on the song when she started. She started anyways, and the first song immediately ended. She continued on the next song without saying anything. So I was charged for two dances. Pretty ridiculous, but I wasn't going to cause a scene. My brother, who sat down with another dancer at the same time I did, stayed for two songs. After his two songs, the dancer claimed it was three songs. The same way my dancer did. She also stated that he owes her $120 for the three dances (was actually two dances) as her dances are $40. Well wouldn't that have been some good information to have before getting a dance from her. So he paid her, again, not wanting to cause a scene with a dancer, and I immediately went to find a manager. The first manager that I spoke to told me there was nothing he could do as one of the dancers apparently left the club immediately after my brother's dance on a 3 week vacation. Convenient. He also said he couldn't do anything about the situation in general because the dancers are independent contractors. He told me I shouldn't have paid them and went directly to him to resolve the situation. However, at the time, I felt it was best to pay them, avoid a confrontation, and get a manager involved immediately after the fact. Getting the sense that this manager didn't seem to care about the situation, I sought out a manager I had met when I first entered the club, Steven. After finding Steven and explaining the situation to him, he agreed that the situation shouldn't have happened, and that ALL dances are $20, regardless of the dancer. I let him know that I had talked to another manager before approaching him. Steven then informs me that the first manager I spoke to was his manager and the main manager on duty for the night. After hearing that, I knew Steven wouldn't be able to do much for me. Steven was super kind throughout our conversation and did everything he could to make the situation better, but it was out of his control and I understand that. However, the first manager I spoke with didn't seem interested in talking to me about the situation and was very short with me. To be honest, it was less about the money and more about the principle. I came in on my birthday to have a good time and left feeling like I was robbed. So all in all, a pretty poor first experience at Bucks. Steven and our waitress are the only reason why I'm giving this two stars. It was a nice place, the rest of the staff that I spoke to/interacted with were nice enough, and the food was great. Our waitress was great and apologized profusely for our bad experience. If you do decide to go here, especially on a slow night, keep an eye on your wallet. The dancers are pretty vile and management will take no responsibility for the girls they have working...

Frank's thoughts; Going on a Monday, 7/8/19, I was not expecting much, they lived up to the not expecting much. After getting our booth, a manger said someone would come for our order, I had to go find him to get the drink service( 20 minutes later)...Once the drinks started though, the bar maid did a really good job on bringing drinks. The music, what can I say other than it was way too loud, I have no idea how anyone could sit in the floor seating area with the speakers blaring 2 feet behind them. On a side note the bass was sooo hard I was getting a back rube from the booth. So that was a minor win... They may have had three decent looking girls there. I wouldn't really know as none of them came over to our booth. One just went to the bar after she got off stage and sat on her phone. The only two girls that came over, bum rushed us, asking if we wanted dances, and right after we said not yet (still had not had a drink yet at this point) they left in unison. So in the end I don't think they are very couple friendly. Maybe it was a bad night for them, but it certainly was not a fun night for us there.

Sammi's thoughts: As soon as we sat down in the booth we were assaulted by the overly loud music that sounded like it was blaring through a busted speaker and the smell of a dirty locker room. The table tops were filthy and the service non existent. Once Frank finally got a waitress to take our order though she was on point. We were basically ignored by all of the dancers except for the tag team that came in hard and disappeared just as quickly when we said we weren’t ready yet. We never saw them again despite being there for hours. The music selection was awful, it all sounded the same and nothing with a danceable beat, even the dancers looked bored with it. The ladies restroom has also gone down hill since our last visit. The stall I used didn’t even have a latch to close it. Overall it was incredibly disappointing and I feel like the place seemed shabby and unkept. I won’t be in a rush to go back...

Went on a Sunday night, Cinco de Mayo at 9pm. They don't have good alcohol mixers, they don't even have real juice they have spray orange and pineapple juice that taste nasty. You can ask for a splash of grenadine but they will still overdo the spray and make it too sweet. I ordered steak with mashed potatoes ($30) and a house salad ($8). With the change added it was close to $39. The waitress GABBY kept lying to us. There's no tax when using CASH and she said yes there is. We've been going to strip clubs, is that something new?? I asked her to show me a receipt when she told us it'll be $42. She took Forever with coming back with our change and i didn't catch it when i looked at the receipt, but i knew something looked off. My man told me when she walked off that he noticed it had 2 different TOTAL prices on the ticket; the first total was the Cash total $38 with change the last one showing towards the bottom was Credit total $40.03. She was like we round the .03 to the next dollar so its $41 not $42. When really it would've been $39. I brought it to the manager and showed him the ticket she gave us and i just didn't want her coming back around. He didn't make anything right for us being scammed by her. I asked for my steak RARE bc its not a professional steakhouse. They cooked it medium WELL! Went to the same manager and he was eating at the front entrance and was like where's your waitress (eyeroll) but still took it to get it fixed. Came out good the second time. They have other cool waitresses who are honest. No one that night knew how to do the pole professionally. I do like how they started letting the girls dance on the floor again and stopped forcing them to dance in the backroom for a $40 extra charge, bc I hate when the club/managers take money from...
