They say it's the best burger in Saint Augustine. That's a lie. I'd rather have a quarter pounder from McDonald's. The wings weren't any better. All bread and no chicken. The manager was our sever and she did a fantastic job, the customer service was great, but the food was not.

I wish I didn't even have to give a star. 1. Our hotel gave us a list of dog friendly restaurants and so we took note to stop by this one. NOT dog friendly. We walked in with our small dog and the hostess merely stated "we don't allow dogs here." Perplexed I said "not even outside?" "Outsides full. I can put you on the front patio." From the angle standing right in the entryway I saw at minimum 3 empty tables on their covered patio and even stated so. Alas, she sequestered us to the front patio which was empty of any other patrons. So already I wanted to leave knowing the type of place I was dealing with. 2. Ordered meals anyway, the menu SPECIFICALLY STATES "burgers served medium to medium well unless otherwise stated" so when I ordered my burger well done the waitress condescendingly says "it's going to come that way" so I asked her to note it anyway, you know, considering the MENU says otherwise. *eyeroll* 3. Not that I should've expected otherwise but the burgers were actually flavorless. Get five guys instead you'll be happier. They literally slab unseasoned ground beef shaped like a patty on a bun and call it a burger. Ketchup couldn't save it. (And it's not because mine was "well done" because my husbands ordered his as is and it was the same.) 4. Since we were seated outside away from anybody or considered living beings because we had our small well behaved dogs, we weren't worthy of basic necessities like napkins or silverware. Since our waitress was mostly waiting on her inside tables I went inside and sourced my own napkins on a table. My husband had to go in and request silverware and she was disturbed we'd even ask for such luxuries. So no, will not be returning, ever. Not to mention, two so called burgers (I definitely didn't eat mine) was $40.

This place was near Casa De Solana Bed &Breakfast inn, we just walk in and order. We must said it was a great experience sense the moment we walk in. The gentlemen on the door, our server, the food and the attention to the need of the customer. My Wife burger was not well done, we told our server, she, right away took it back, the cook make a new one and server it. Wow . Thanks. Great Custer service. We will go back. Specially we like a sing that said: disconnect, talk to each other. Nice. Thanks guys

We (family of 3) ducked into Burger Buckets to get out of the heat and grab a bottled water. We ended up staying for cold beer, shared burger and larger german pretzel. We sat at the bar and had interactions with several wait staff and management. Everyone was friendly and the food and ice cold beer hit the spot.

I highly recommend this casual dining restaurant. We had the cheeseburger with fries and the mild Buffalo chicken wings with onion rings for an appetizer. All the food was great but I highly recommend the chicken wings, they had great flavor and was cooked perfectly. The service was also great, very friendly atmosphere.

Had a great dinner here with my two best friends and our 5 kids. Everything was delicious. We had fresh food and it was quick to come out. The meat was delicious. Perfect seasoning. Fries were great! The meat/bun ratio was fantastic too ?? Our waitress was so efficient, sweet and nice. I saw her act of kindness and I just wanna say it's so wonderful to see people care about people! ❤️ Every employee that I saw tonight was friendly and full of smiles. We will definitely be back! ☺️

Came across this place when visiting St Augustine from the UK. It was a completely random find but we are so glad we found it.We were shown to our table fairly quickly and were greeted by our fantastic server Ashley. Ashley asked how we were and initially took our drinks. She was then patient with us and allowed us a few mins to decide what we wanted to order.My wife ordered 10 chicken wings and I ordered a bucket of chicken tenders. Ashley asked us if we wanted any additional sauce with these and brought them on a handy tray with some wet wipes (which are well needed with the wings!).The food arrived really quickly.The wings were fantastic and had so much meat on them. They had plenty of sauce on them and the sauce wasn't over powering. This was accompanied by celery which was nice.The chicken tenders were spot on - Nice and tender with a fantastic coating! This came with coleslaw and fries which were the best fries that we've had this holiday (or vacation as you guys say).Ashley came back several times to ensure we were okay and to see if we needed anything.The bill came to a reasonable amount and we gave Ashley a well deserved tip.We've been to St Augustine several times over the past few years and we will definitely be returning on our next trip.For any visitors cautious about Covid, this place is very clean and the servers regularly clean the tables.Keep up the good work guys. I'll be sure to recommend you to other Brits!

The location wasn't anything spectacular, but the food far exceeded my expectations. The staff, especially Lisa, was fun loving. One of the best burgers I've ever had from a restaurant. I would definitely return when I come back to Saint Augustine!

We have visited for years… loved getting a burger and milkshake! The burgers are good, the fries are great! Tempura battered. The best part was you could mix and match whatever ice cream flavors and toppings to make your perfect milkshake to go with your meal. But when we visited this week we saw they re-did their restaurant to expand seating and totally did away with the ice cream and milkshakes. Now it’s just an ordinary burger stop. Nothing worth driving out the way for. We used pay $15 to park in town just so we could go to Burger Buckets. Now we may not even stop by while we’re in town already. Too many other really great places to eat. You can get a burger anywhere.

Excellent food....excellent server (Ashley). The Mushroom Swiss Burger was delicious. The corn fritters were crisp and scrumptious. My husband loved his fresh boneless wings. My son and daughter both ate all of their burger and said it was the best ever. The best part was hearing Christian music playing while we ate. This is a very family friendly restaurant!!
Service sucked wait 10 min for someone to set us in a empty restaurant. Manager tonya is very rude and messed up the bill tree times . Try adding 18% to all three bills because we had 8 people. It did not say anything about it menu say over 9 it would be add. Food was not that good.

Food was great, but be prepared for a wait. Holiday weeked caused a slow response rate of the staff but you gotta give them props for awesome attitudes and running non stop for whatever we wanted.

I was disappointed with my meal I paid a lot of money and didn't get enough for the price. I feel it would be better to just eat in next time. I try to patronize my local businesses though.

Everyone was very nice, and the food was delicious! The fries are really good too, which is saying a lot because I'm not usually into fries. The environment was relaxed and service was fast, and they have a parking lot! That was the deciding factor for us lol. Parking is hard to find sometimes around here.

My boyfriend and I decided to eat lunch here yesterday after a long day of walking around St.Augustine and spending some time at the beach. He had seen the sign for it earlier in the weekend and kept saying we had to go there before we left town, so we made it our last food stop of our trip. When we went inside, the staff was so nice and inviting. Our waiter was super kind and funny, and got our food to us pretty quickly! My boyfriend has the doughnut cheeseburger, which he LOVED and basically inhaled.? I just had a hamburger with pickles and onions (because I’m very plain?) and it was probably the best burger I’ve ever had from a restaurant! Perfectly cooked and just the right amount of toppings! We definitely weren’t disappointed! This has made it onto our “MUST go” list for every St.Augustine visit!!!
