Our Story

Welcome to Bucks Pub, proudly owned and operated by the Stephens family.

Bucks Pub is a family-owned, community-centered restaurant where great food, craft beverages, and genuine hospitality come together. We like to think of ourselves as a Modern Minnesota Pub — a place where neighbors gather, stories are shared, and everyone feels at home.

In many ways, Bucks is a fresh, independent take on the classic neighborhood restaurants people grew up loving. We’ve kept that same family-friendly, come-as-you-are vibe, but brought it back to its roots: local ownership, real scratch-made food, and heartfelt service. It’s the neighborhood restaurant, reimagined with warmth and purpose.

We’re a full scratch kitchen, which means almost everything we serve is made right here by hand. From our sauces and dressings to our pub fare and desserts, we put care and heart into every dish. We love using fresh, locally sourced ingredients and creating food that’s both comforting and a little unexpected — from classic pub favorites to Stephens family specialties.

Our story is woven into the history of this building. Bucks Pub carries on the legacy of the Buckhorn Café, a local landmark that served our community until 1977. You’ll also notice a few Asian-inspired flavors on our menu — a warm nod to the 15 years when Chinese restaurants made their home in this same spot. That blend of tradition and creativity has become a big part of who we are today.

At Bucks, we believe in good food, good company, and good times. The Stephens family and our amazing team are proud to share our passion for cooking and community with every guest who walks through our doors.

We’re grateful you’re here — and we can’t wait to welcome you to the table.
