What our guests are saying
Easily beat sports bar in the peninsula. Huge burgers, I mean huge, amazing steaks, and over 10 flat screens always playing multiple sports games. Each table has its own speaker you can choose what tv you want your table to hear. The staff is amazing, food is great. Fast service. I have been going for years, and will continue going!!!

Amanda took great care of us last night at Buckets! They are one of the few restaurants open late in Soldotna so we gave them a try. Glad we did! Fun sports bar atmosphere, very extensive menu, great selections of beer on tap and desserts. Everyone in your group is bound to find something they like. We tried a roasted pepper soup, grilled cheese on sourdough and the Beyond Burger with sweet potato fries. Everything was served quickly, hot and delicious.

Nice little ambiance, not too crowded on a Sunday afternoon. Amazing service, quick and friendly, food is delicious and the prices, especially for this area are amazing. I ordered the Prime Rib Bites(pictured) and oh my goodness. They come accompanied by a sweet and spicy blueberry sauce that is one of the best I've tried. Definitely recommend.

Best food and service on the Lower Kenai. Large Breakfast menu, and for lunch the 1/2 pound bucket burger is the best.
