We come here frequently! The food is excellent. I love the poached pear salad and the bolognese. You cannot go wrong with the fish specials. Very fresh. We generally sit at the bar because Robert makes the experience much more fun!

Met friends there for lunch.... Cool place, the Manager was our host for our visit. I had an EXCELLENT Mushroom Swiss Burger, finally a restaurant that understands what medium means.. Lol. I love a juicy burger where you give up on napkins and just go wash up afterwards!!! I asked for some hot sauce, they had all the classic fare, the manager told me he made his own sauce a ghost pepper hot sauce .. WOW, very tasty I highly recommend heading there for lunch Had to come back and edit my review, I can't believe I forgot to mention the LEMONCELLO CAKE, outstanding!!!

My family and I wanted to go to McCarthy’s for St Patrick’s Day but was told there was a 3 hour wait. We wound up going to Buco’s after finding out they had Cornbeef and Cabbage on the menu. What a pleasant surprise! They have a lovely outdoor dining area and the service is great. The food is delicious! This was my first time going here and I will definitely be back.

Buco is the best large-shopping-center- located restaurant where I have eaten, for at least 2 decades, as most such located restaurants have lesser goals and far lesser quality than Buco. Their range of menu selections from the fairly ordinary and popular 1/2 rack of Barbecue Baby Back Ribs, very reasonably priced for the excellent quality, to Filet Mignon with accoutrements, for about twice the price, again belies its location, as both appeared extremely well presented and the folks savoring each were well pleased. I had the yellowtail Piccata, over fine and light linguine, in the same Piccata sauce with capers, excellent. And very reasonable. Large selection of both popular and selected wines, again, at reasonable prices. I can't stop saying how unlike the average shopping center located restaurant Buco is: it's a "flight-of-stairs" above those in quality, presentation, service, and staff. Everyone apparently loves their jobs because you can't fake that to customers for the hour and a half to 2 hours the typical customer stays in a restaurant for a fine dinner. The pistachio Tartufo for dessert coupled with an Espresso to finish are also worth repeating, often! I'm ready to return to sample other menu items. They have a bar near the entrance that makes solo diners a quick and savory in and out. It's Located on the west side of Rt. 1 just a short distance south of the Martin County-Palm Beach County Border Line, inside a large center that also boasts a decent sized Publix, and lots of other stores. Parking is adjacent to the restaurant and free. Very easy to get to from Jupiter and WPB, Singer Island on the South, or Hobe Sound and Port Salerno on the North. Worth the trip. Don't be discouraged by it's shopping center location. They put the money in the food, the quality, the cleanliness, etc., as they should. KUDOS to the owner.

I went with my son who said this was his favorite restaurant ever and he wasn't lying. The food came out in under 10 minutes and it was heavenly. We're gonna be regular customers and come back day after day. We can't get enough of bucos.

Good. Mac and cheese said baked but looked like boxed. It was to bad just not what we expected. Everyone else loved their meal.
