BUCKS DINER

Bucks Diner is run by the Buck family and is actually in downtown farihope but is close enough to Daphne and very close to my office. This place is another good country cooking place with booth seating in the back (we love the booths).  They have "meats and two or three", vegetable plates, burgers, and poboys.  Glen enjoyed the hamburger steak with mashed potatoes and gravy as well as the good southern lima beans.  He gave it a thumbs up. Other meat choices included meatloaf, crabcakes, fried catfish, fried porkchop, and baked chicken.  This diner uses local fresh vegetables so the veggie menu vaires according to what is available and what is in season.  Bucks may be another place where the sides outshine the main dishes.  I chose a vegetable plate with fried green tomatoes, corn fritters, macaroni and cheese, and broccoli salad. The brocolli salad was good but similar to what I have had at other places in town.  Fried green tomatoes were light and not greasy at all, fried lightly in cornmeal...could have cooked longer, I have had better, but they were good.  Mac and cheese was a good mix of creamy, and chewy, toasted cheese.  Friends at work claim Bucks makes a great burger and I have heard good things about the poboys as well.
