Buckstop - Vancouver

Recommended by hotel staff so we stopped in for early dinner. Small place -located on Denman street-with menu including BBQ, burgers, buffalo cauliflower, fried pickles, chicken wings, daily specials, and more . We had the venison burger and chili frito special. Food was very good...and server was very friendly. Full liquor bar and several beers on tap. The regular customers dining in were very friendly. Enjoyed our meal, conversations about area and the atmosphere, so we would definitely return. They were not open for lunch, but opened around 4:30pm.

We had one of the best meals we've ever enjoyed here! Love the atmosphere as well, and great service! If you haven't yet, try the homemade fireball whiskey wow, it was delicious, and I don't even like fireball normally! The food was excellent, and...the portions huge.

Not only was our food not hot, the chef was out of the kitchen for over a long period of time that the couple next to us had been waiting 45 minutes since they ordered their food and we had to hear the entire conversation... which was turning us off but we decided to stay and give Buckstop a chance. The staff in the bar and dining area were not in communication at all with the chefs in the kitchen. This was a holiday weekend, a Saturday night, and even though they may not have been busy, the restaurant should still perform at their best for any customer who decides to dine in on any evening. Unfortunately it seemed we were the only ones who got a cold plate, while others had piping hot plates of meat and condiments. We literally asked for our food to go and then brought it home to reheat and enjoy. We also didn 't get offered the house made sauces like everyone else did. Bar/Dining staff were definitely overwhelmed with complaints and general service perhaps understaffed? We had heard so many great things about this establishment however we did not get any of those great experiences. Perhaps we will go one more time to give them a second chance, but to be honest the barbecue wasn 't anything special the brisket was sold out (and it definitely wasn 't busy!
