| - Buck and Badger is my go-to place for trivia which they host with Geeks Who Drink on Tuesdays and Thursdays. They tend to have some specials for beer which is great: on Tuesdays a tallboy of PBR is $2.50 and they typically have one draft on special for $3.
The food menu is fairly short, and seems to change somewhat often. For awhile they had decent chicken wings, replaced them with turkey wings, then brought chicken wings back to the menu (thank goodness!). My favorite meal has been the sweet potato crusted chicken sandwich which has a nice crunchiness to it without feeling totally disgusting and fried.
I had high hopes for the Fried Pickles appetizer, but was burned, literally. The pickles are fried in spears, and after many mouth burns, I found that they seem to never cool off. Cutting up the spears wasn't really an option without losing the breading in the process. Lesson learned.
Service is fine, not fast by any means, but they get the job done. The ladies restroom has two stalls, one of which always seems to be out of order in some way. This could be due to their sharing bathroom space with the Ivory Room which sees a lot of rowdy weekend traffic.
Overall, Buck and Badger's atmosphere is cute and cozy, and I love sitting near the fireplace in the wintertime. Give it a whirl!
