Buck's at Lucky's Lodge no longer exists. But Buck's is not dead. We'll hang our "Home of Buck's" sign on the wall at Farley Girls after we take over on June 1. However, the inclusion of barbeque to their existing menu will take a bit of time. Farley Girls is a successful restaurant with a very loyal following. The last thing we want to do is alienate the locals by immediately changing up a menu that they are fond of. So we'll add smoked proteins to some of the menu items and replace a few others, but a full barbeque menu as a part of the regular lunch service will take 30 days or so. And at some point later this year the Farley Girls name will go away and the restaurant will be known simply as "Buck's".
I'll say this though...I sampled brisket on Mother's Day to a few of their longtime regulars, and it got them pretty excited about barbeque as part of the menu.
