| - This is a new place that takes over the building that was Beef O Brady's. Fortunately, the only thing this place has in common with that dump (see review: http://www.yelp.com/biz/beef-o-bradys-sun-prairie#hrid:PWUMDnYBBVl_yj6oIV-V-Q/src:self) is the address.
Buck & Honey's is your standard American fare, but with a little zest.
The menu isn't huge, but offers your standard steaks, pasta, pizza, burgers, salads, soups, fish, etc. I was told by the waitstaff that all the food was "made from scratch" and most of their stuff was local.
I had the Bomber's Special pizza (pictured) and it was fantastic. It's your normal Wisconsin style flat thin crust pizza. I don't understand the appeal to this style of pizza over normal pizza cut into triangles, but maybe that's just my NYC brain. Either way, it was great. People say that Anna's pizza in Sun Prairie is good.. this made Anna's taste like one of those Red Baron pizzas. The pie was large, the cheese and veggies tasted fresh, and the pizza itself had a bit of heat to it which kept the flavor on your tongue long enough that you never lost the taste in between bites.
The decor is a bit fancy, but soft and inviting. The staff seemed friendly and welcoming.
Seems like a big focus on local; the artwork on display features Georgia O'Keefe as well as other Sun Prairie history. The owners are an old couple from the city. In fact, Buck once owned farm land in the exact spot that his restaurant is located.
The redesign from Beef O Brady's is well improved as well. They actually have an entrance and you dont have to go through the stupid little mall to get in. They have turned that old entrance area into a patio style atrium (see pic) for dining.
Lots of local beer on tap, some TVs in the bar area, and a little stage area for live music make it a great place to spend an evening.
It's in a bit of a weird location, so I hope they do well.
Can't wait to get back and try the crazy good looking dessert menu.
