- AWAshlyn Ward3 days ago5.0Jennifer was amazing and so attentive!! This was my nephews first time visiting Uncle Buck’s and she made the experience wonderful.
- DCD CJan 3, 20265.0We visited the location in Destin during my wife’s birthday. Jennifer was amazing and went above and beyond to ensure that my wife had a great experience. She worked with the bartender to make a cocktail that was not on the cocktail menu. We had a great time and would come back. Thank you Jennifer.
- MWMaydee WeakleyJan 1, 20261.0The food was not good. 3 out of 5 of us ordered a smash burger and received the exact opposite , a big thick over cooked burger with hardly any sauce. The waiter was nice about removing the items which was cool. The bowling experience wasn’t quite what everyone thought. The pictures online didn’t give the same vibe or even look like the same atmosphere. It didn’t look like an underwater experience at all . They never even turned on any cool looking lights . Maybe it’s a different vibe at night but definitely wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone during the day and won’t be recommending it to any friends if they visit FL.
