Buck & Rider

About the Business

Specialties

Impeccable ingredients speak for themselves. We go the distance to source our seafood, meats, and produce directly from fishers and farmers who share our commitment to quality, transparency, and sustainable practices. Our guiding philosophy is simple: superior ingredients, perfectly executed. We fly in the freshest seafood from around the world – seven days a week. That daily catch leaves the airport in our Buck & Rider refrigerated van, headed straight for our kitchens and raw bars. The logistics may be complex, but the mission is straightforward. We do whatever it takes to serve the finest just-caught fish and shellfish of the East, West, and Gulf coasts and beyond. We’ve made Buck & Rider a home away from home, a spot that’s equally welcoming for cocktails and hand-rolled sushi at happy hour, a romantic date night, or brunch and bloodies with friends on the patio. We’re always happy to have you. Our spaces feature an easy flow between indoor and outdoor areas, allowing guests to relax in the glow of the patio’s stone fireplace or a stylish banquette in the dining room. Every aesthetic element, from building materials to lighting, is considered to create a welcoming atmosphere that reflects our philosophy of simplicity and quality. The emphasis on locality in our menu extends to architecture and design, which are unique for every Buck & Rider location, drawing inspiration from the surrounding environment.

History

Established in 2015.

Our team goes to extraordinary lengths to bring you the best ingredients. We take a mindful approach to sourcing buying directly from small producers around the world who engage in sustainable fishing and oyster farming practices. We fly their catch into our kitchens every day. That means hand-picked Louisiana blue crab for our famous crab cakes and Ora King salmon in our sushi. The daily raw bar menu is time-stamped and continuously updated to reflect the freshness of our fish and availability of oysters from our fishermen and farmers. Our commitment to quality goes far beyond seafood. Steaks come from our special Buck & Rider Reserve beef program: USDA certified, aged, and cut to our specifications. Our cocktails follow the same ingredient-driven philosophy, made with hand-squeezed juices and premium spirits. Here, no fussy preparations, no stuffy atmosphere—just an inviting spot to enjoy the best our fishers and farmers have to offer, procured, prepared, and presented with care,
