Buck’s Place — Restaurant in Sonoma

Might be the holy grail of casual dining in Sonoma! Living on the west side of Sonoma proves to be a challenge when wanting to dine at the "hidden gems" and "local's only" spots. The square is wonderful but can get busy on weekends and a bit touristy during high season. Additionally, having a couple of drinks and not wanting to drive home can prove difficult if you don't live close to the square. Bucks Place is a welcomed addition to the off-the-beaten-path eateries with their welcoming atmosphere, incredibly gracious staff, and delectable dishes. In addition to having great appetizers and pizza, the beer selection was perfect (Coors banquet in the bottle being my personal favorite) as well as a tasty variety of cocktails. Tucked away on a quiet street in an unassuming part of town, the atmosphere is quaint and VERY casual catering to every style of diner. They quickly accommodated our large group with a spacious table and kept patient while we perused the extensive menu and drink selections. Bucks will now be our regular hang out.

They told us they couldn’t serve us and they could not verify my drivers license even after the two other forms of identification. I was extremely disappointed with the response that they couldn’t verify as I had verification. So if you have a California ID you should absolutely go but if you have an out of state ID and look young don’t waste your time. So disappointed and extremely unsatisfied with the service. Also, I was insulted that we talked to the manager and showed her that I had the verification with a passport and she wouldn't give us the time of day. Finally, when I asked what I could do to rectify the situation after my multiple forms of government ID, I was told to get a California identification. So extremely...

Buck’s is NOT TO BE MISSED! The Harris’ have truly outdone themselves. The ambience before you ever darken the doorway is enchanting! The staff is top tier; Everyone is friendly and welcoming from the minute you enter. Lucy was our waitress and she was outstanding! I cannot recommend the meatball starters enough! And then we moved on to the Bianca pizza! DELICIOUS!!!! The flavors hit your pallet before you ever take a bite! And the crust is shear culinary magic! The decor is warm and inviting, and the food is next level! You have two indoor options: the dine-in bar or a family friendly dinning room. Chad Harris has taken pizza to an all new level! While Erica Harris and her team, complete the experience making Buck’s a...
