    Pacifically reserved a floor table and ended up in a table, stuck way in the back of the venue and was told that they can’t guarantee what table you’ll be sitting at even if you’re app allows you to specify where you’d like to sit. I thought that was the whole point of having a reservation.

    We had a wonderful time dining at Buck Owens’ Crystal Palace last night! The food, service (thank you, Octavio) and house band were excellent! The rib eye steaks, steak salad, and cheeseburger were delicious! Our out-of-state guests loved the Buck U merchandise and did not leave empty handed! It was a fun and memorable evening. Happy, happy.

    Not the first time I visit this place, even if I came from an other country (France). As I organize guided tours for French people I bring them in your restaurant each time! As last time I really appreciate the atmosphere, the decoration and the live band country music. The food is correct (just a flat taste of the pasta Alfredo), the service is good and servers are friendly. I will come again for sure to bring other customers!😉

    You don't know what you didn't get until you don't get it. The hostess who seated us... grumpy, did not smile..didn't even say hello...we walked in at 5 PM when hardly no one was there, and she said Reservations? "Yes." Ok, this way. Sat us down and said zero beyond that. Our server was, I believe, the bartender on duty, even though we could see at least 4 other servers with zero tables. She took our order, brought our drinks, then food. We never saw her at our table again, until we were almost completely finished and she asked how the food was. Didn't even ask if we wanted another drink, which were empty. She had to spend her time at the bar, talking to a "man" who we assumed was boyfriend, because that is where she was the whole time. Finally she asked if we wanted another drink and if we were staying for the show. WHAT SHOW? Nothing on their inadequate web site said anything about a show...(don't get me started on how bad the web site is) The food was OK... and if service was even so so, I wouldn't complain, but this was some of the worst service I've ever experienced. Good Luck.

    What a great experience. The venue itself is worth the trip. The good food, exceptional service and amazing music by Johnny Owens and the Bakersfield sound made it a memorable night.
