BUCK & RIDER

Bringing fresh seafood to the state of Arizona is no easy task, unless you’re Buck & Rider. Located just north of Tempe and Phoenix, is a seafood oasis at the base of Camelback Mountain. Buck & Rider flies fresh seafood every single day from the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, giving Arizonans a little taste of the salt life. Their menu ranges from Maine Lobster to Georgia Shrimp, Alaskan King Crab to California Halibut, and everything in between.

Buck & Rider opened their doors in 2015 with a goal to deliver fresh catch to the Phoenix area. They generated buzz by highlighting their efforts to bring in fresh seafood each day.

Their non-seafood claim to fame is their LGO Reserve Beef, the first in Arizona awarded a private label USDA certification. The beef is a very rare cut from the Midwest, where only three in ten cattle meet the criteria. The name stems from LGO Hospitality. The hospitality group runs several restaurants throughout Arizona and California.

The restaurant has a classic vibe with dark leather booths, light wood tables, and earthy colored walls. It’s all class from the second you enter the door until you sign your check. Buck & Rider needed a way to display their daily seafood items and a Split Flap fit the bid. Their 6 Row and 40 Column sign hangs in their dining room. It’s hard to take your eyes off this one! Definitely head to Buck & Rider for a special occasion, because we love to see them put birthday and anniversary messages on the sign for guests. They even had a proposal using the Split Flap!

Buck & Rider is expanding in Arizona. They opened two new locations in Glendale and Northern Scottsdale. You’ll find Philadelphia’s Freshest Split Flaps at both restaurants. 40
