| - My fiance and I went to Buck and Honey's today for lunch. We expected that it would be pretty quiet at lunch time on a weekday (Friday), but we didn't expect to encounter such dour, inattentive waitstaff. When we walked in, there was no one at the hostess stand- we waited a couple of minutes, some guy who appeared to work there wandered by but didn't even acknowledge our presence. Finally, the hostess showed up. She didn't say hello or welcome, or even smile- just glanced at us and said "two?" in a flat, emotionless voice. She started to show us to a table, and a waitress came up to talk to her, so the hostess told us to "hold it" so she could finish her conversation before showing us to our table. Our waiter was also completely emotionless, barely talked to us, and never asked us how things were or if we wanted dessert. He refilled our water once. When our food came out, it was the hostess who brought it out, but she clearly didn't know which table it was supposed to go to, so she wandered around looking confused until she finally figured out we were the only table who didn't have our food yet.
The food itself wasn't bad, but not stellar, either. We ordered a Thai chicken pizza to share. It was decent- it was nice that it was on a thin crust, though the crust was really dry and bland with not a lot of flavor to it, so I kind of felt like I was eating cardboard with tasty toppings. Overall it was ok, but really overpriced. Definitely NOT worth $!9 for a pizza. And definitely not good enough to overcome the mediocre service.
It wasn't a terrible dining experience, so I wouldn't rule out going there again (maybe to try the fish fry?) , but I'd probably be more likely to choose somewhere else.
